2009–10 Undergraduate Catalog
Seattle Pacific University admits students with academic characteristics that predict their success in the University programs to which they seek enrollment and who exhibit personal qualities that indicate a contribution to the mission of the University. In line with its original charter, SPU admits students without discrimination as to race, color, nationality, creed, age, or sex. A strong college preparatory program in high school is recommended and prepares students for success at the university level. In addition to academic ability, such factors as intellectual curiosity, goals, leadership, responsibility, personal and social adjustments, Christian commitment, and a desire to serve the community are considered. Depending on space available, a waitlist process may be required to manage the entering class. Admission to the University does not automatically constitute admission to the particular program or school in which a student wishes to study. Specific admission requirements for majors and minors are located in each academic program section in this Undergraduate Catalog. Seattle Pacific University reserves the right to admit any student at its discretion and rescind admission, if necessary. You're Invited to Visit the Campus The same is true for Seattle Pacific University. Located in a quiet residential neighborhood, SPU's campus is parklike, combining the latest technology and buildings with longstanding traditions. It's a premier campus only a few minutes from Seattle's bustling, cosmopolitan city center. College students agree that a campus visit is the best way to discover whether a university is a good match. So we make it easy. A visit can include transportation to and from the airport or train station, and overnight accommodations. Two-weeks notice is required to make these accommodations through the Undergraduate Admissions office. Meals on campus are provided for student visitors, as are campus tours. There are several opportunities for students to schedule a visit: Campus Preview occurs in the spring and offers high school sophomores and juniors an in-depth look at life on campus. This special event is an opportunity for students to attend classes, meet professors, spend the night on campus in the residence halls, and attend information workshops and social events. Senior Preview occurs once in the autumn and once in the winter. It is a special opportunity for high school seniors to attend classes, meet professors, spend the night on campus, and participate in community activities. SPU Fridays are special Fridays, during which small groups of prospective students receive the red-carpet treatment with a personalized itinerary. Transfer Open House includes a campus tour, meeting current students and faculty, discovering how your credits will transfer, and learning about the admissions and financial aid process. Individual visit is available if you can't attend one of the organized events. We will be happy to schedule a personal visit for you on another day. Campus tours are offered twice daily: Monday–Friday, 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. To arrange a visit to Seattle Pacific University, call 206-281-2021 or 1-800-366-3344 toll free. We'll take care of the details. [Back to top] APPLICATION FOR ADMISSIONGeneral Instructions for All Applicants Students interested in applying for admission should request admission materials early by emailing Undergraduate Admissions (email@example.com) or visiting the website. Applications are available online. Paper applications are mailed upon request. Application materials for admission must meet the following dates for each respective quarter:
Each applicant is responsible for providing all items required with the application, including a $45 nonrefundable application fee. All records submitted for admission become the property of SPU and are considered a part of the student's official file and permanent record. Students desiring financial aid and scholarship consideration should file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) with the federal processor as soon as possible after January 1 and submit all application materials before February 1. Need-based financial aid award decisions (grants, loans, and student employment) for students who meet these deadlines are processed beginning the second week in March. Merit scholarships (not based on need) are awarded on a rolling basis beginning mid-January. Further information and instructions for financial aid applications may be obtained from Student Financial Services. [Back to top] Early Action for 2009–10 Procedures for Students Entering Directly From High School Students completing college credits while in high school, including those participating in the Running Start Program, must follow procedures outlined in this section.
Procedures for Transfer Students Running Start students should follow the process for high school students
Washington State Running Start Program Homeschooled Students Early Admission Advanced Placement/CLEP/International Baccalaureate Advanced Placement
*Consult with the Languages Department for placement. International Baccalaureate
*Consult with the academic department regarding placement or major requirements.
Associate Degree Transfer Agreements Students who have earned (prior to matriculation at SPU), an approved direct transfer degree from a Washington, Oregon, or California community college, or an associate degree from Central Christian College of Kansas, will enter with all University Core and Exploratory Curriculum requirements fulfilled, including the foreign language proficiency requirement. These students also are exempt from the Math Proficiency Exam, and most transfer students are exempt from the English Placement Test. Completion of an associate degree will not exempt students from foreign language requirements within any major or minor with a specific foreign language requirement. Most students who have earned an approved direct transfer degree enter with 90 credits and junior class standing. However, courses that do not meet SPU's minimum grade policies will not be transferred. Further, SPU standards will be applied in tranfer of credit for recognized test programs (AP, IB, and CLEP), and scores must be submitted directly from the testing agency. DTA (Direct Transfer Agreement) Associate Degrees in Washington State The general Direct Transfer Agreement (DTA) associate degrees from Washington state community colleges that transfer directly to SPU to fulfill University Core and Exploratory Curriculum requirements are listed below. SPU also accepts these DTA degrees with corresponding Major Related Pathways (MRPs) in Biology, Business, Elementary Education, Math Education, and Pre-nursing: Bellevue Community College, Associate in Arts and Sciences Associate of Science-Transfer Degrees, Option 1 and Option 2 While the Associate of Science-Transfer degree Option 1 and Option 2 from Washington state community colleges are also accepted in transfer to SPU, these degrees do not fulfill the same requirements as the DTA degree. Students who have earned the Associate of Science-Transfer degree Option 1 generally enter with junior standing and are exempt, on the basis of the degree, from UCOR 1000 and UCOR 2000 but not from other general education requirements. Students who have earned the Associate of Science-Transfer degree Option 2 generally enter with junior standing, and their courses that meet Humanities and Social Science GERs/GURs at the sending institution will be applied toward those same requirements at SPU, whether or not there is a direct match with SPU's general education courses. Associate of Applied Sciences-Transfer Students who complete the AAS-T degree, and have completed at least 20 credits in liberal arts and sciences courses may apply for admission to the Professional Studies Program. Successful applicants simultaneously will be admitted to the University and to the Professional Studies major, with junior standing. The program requires completion of General Education credits and a minor. Associate of Arts/Oregon Transfer Degrees The associate degree from Oregon that transfers directly to SPU to fulfill University Core and Exploratory Curriculum requirements is the Associate of Arts/Oregon Transfer (AA/OT). California IGETC Curriculum and Associate Degrees Students transferring from California junior colleges must complete the IGETC (Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum) and an associate degree in order to transfer to SPU with University Core and Exploratory Curriculum requirements fulfilled. [Back to top] Students Entering From Regionally Unaccredited InstitutionsWhile the absence of accreditation raises questions concerning the nature and quality of an institution's programs, SPU recognizes that institutions may not seek accreditation for a variety of reasons related to mission, sponsoring entity requirements, etc. SPU will, therefore, review credentials from unaccredited institutions at the student's request. An official transcript and copy of the unaccredited institution's catalog must accompany a written request for review. If SPU determines that the institution's credits are acceptable, specific credits may be transferred with the following limitations and conditions:
Except as outlined above, the conditions for students entering from accredited colleges will apply. A student transferring from an unaccredited college may be required to present acceptable scores on either the College Board Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT-I) or the American College Test (ACT). [Back to top] Transfer Student University Foundations RequirementsCredits earned at a recognized, accredited institution in areas offered by Seattle Pacific University will usually be accepted without discount. Students who have earned, prior to matriculation at SPU, an approved direct transfer associate degree (Washington, Oregon, and California community college transfer program or Central Christian College of Kansas) are considered to have completed the Exploratory Curriculum and University Core (but not University Foundations) requirements, as well as the foreign language requirements (except as required in a major or minor) and mathematics proficiency requirements of SPU. Most students who enter with an approved direct transfer degree will be awarded 90 credits and junior class standing. SPU considers the University Foundations requirements to be at the heart of its approach to higher education. Therefore, each transfer student is expected to complete these requirements at SPU. Transfer students with junior or senior standing upon admission will complete 10 credits in Foundation studies with 5 credits in UFDN 3001 Christian Scriptures, followed by 5 credits in UFDN 3100 Christian Theology. (Students who have just completed the DTA associate degree through the Running Start Program are expected to complete at least one quarter at SPU before enrolling in UFDN 3001.) Each transfer student with freshman or sophomore standing upon admission will complete the full 15-credit requirement by completing UFDN 1000 Christian Formation, UFDN 2000 Christian Scriptures, and UFDN 3100 Christian Theology. If a transfer student has taken Bible or theology courses at a member institution of the Christian College Consortium, up to 10 credits may be accepted toward the fulfillment of the University Foundations requirement. Transfer of credit towards Foundation requirements from any other regionally accredited Christian college or ABHE-accredited Bible school may be granted only by petition process. Note: In all cases, students must complete at least 5 credits of coursework in the School of Theology (UFDN or THEO discipline) at Seattle Pacific University. (UFDN 3100 Community Bible Study may not be used to fulfill this requirement.) [Back to top] SPU welcomes international student applications. The goal of the international student program is to provide educational opportunities for qualified students from a variety of cultural backgrounds. SPU seeks to admit students who would most benefit from the distinctives of the institution. An international student is considered to be anyone who is not a citizen, permanent resident, or naturalized citizen of the United States. Application procedures for international students:
SAT/ACT exams: Students who intend to enter directly from schools in foreign countries must have a grade point average equivalent to a 3.0 in the grading system used in this University. Graduates of high schools in countries where the school system provides for less than 12 years of instruction before college are expected to complete at least 12 years of schooling in their own country before being admitted to SPU. Students may receive college credit for A-level exams if their marks are very high. Non-Matriculated International Students U.S. Residents and Citizens Who Are Non-native English Speakers To Accept an Offer of Admission
All international students are required to enroll in the University Student medical insurance plan. Any exceptions to this requirement are subject to the approval of the Health Center. Proof of comparable coverage from a provider based in the United States or an acceptable reciprocal agreement is necessary for waiver approval. Application for Re-Admission Students who would like to re-enroll after nine quarters (two years) have passed must submit all new application materials. The Office of Undergraduate Admissions will inform the student if additional credentials need to be submitted. Admission will be governed by the policies regulating the admission of the level the student is reactivating under (a student who was admitted to SPU out of high school and is reactivating after attending another institution is now considered a transfer student.) Undergraduate and post-baccalaureate students who have interrupted their study at SPU for more than two calendar years will graduate under the requirements listed in the Undergraduate Catalog current at the time of re-entry. Class standing will be recalculated to include all credits earned and transfer credits accepted prior to readmission. Disability Student Services Orientation/New Student Advising All new undergraduate students, including transfer students, receive initial advisement and register for classes as part of Orientation/New Student Advising before the first quarter of matriculation. This is a one-day program that provides students with the opportunity to confer with an advisor about the selection of classes, register for classes, receive an official University campus card (SEA PAC PASS) and make financial arrangements. Once students have completed the program, they will be prepared to go through Orientation/Welcome Week in the fall. Students who enter Seattle Pacific University in Winter Quarter or Spring Quarter meet individually with an undergraduate academic counselor to select and register for their first quarter of classes. Orientation/Welcome Week Post-Baccalaureate Admission Note to SPU graduates: SPU graduates do not need to submit a letter of recommendation. Only transcripts reflecting work at other institutions must be submitted. |

The Creationists' Nightmare

Post: #21
RE: The Creationists' Nightmare
My first thought was "how can this be a problem for any creationist"? When you have a magical theory of origination, there are no problems (well, other that that your theory is based on magic.) Remember God is wiser than all of us put together and works in strange and mysterious ways. So what really could surprise or falsify anything a theist thinks?
The only ones who have to work at making sense are those who value making sense, atheists. If you a want a natural account of anything you can be wrong and you'd have to care. By switching to theism you would no longer have to worry about being wrong, and even if people thought you were .. you wouldn't have to care. Once you become safely swaddled in the imaginary world of the theist, reality becomes optional. |

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

See, Creationists can explain literally anything by just going "God did it" or "God planned for that to happen". You literally can't disprove God just like you can't disprove the Flying Spaghetti Monster and His Noodly Appendages!! lol In reality, we find fossils everywhere of evolutionary forms of all kinds of animals, but of course I'm sure most of the attention is on human beings, for obvious reasons. I'm not quite sure how anyone can really claim evolution doesn't exist in the year 2012. I think the education system simply doesn't spend enough time on this topic. |

RE: The Creationists' Nightmare
The sad thing is, all species are transitional forms — transitioning from something, or to something else — so if a creationist wants to see a transitional form, all they have to do is look in the mirror. (Although, looking at their spouses might underscore the point more dramatically.) Things Creationists Hate Each Other Old-Earth creationists think the Young-Earthers are too zealous and dogmatic, even for them. Young-Earthers know the Old-Earthers and Multiple-Catastrophists have given in to "liberal" (if not to say Satanic) influences. Some years there are multiple "Ark-hunting" expeditions to Turkey, each of which thinks the others are obstructing the progress of "Bible science." Stars …somehow have grown a lot bigger and moved much farther away, so that by now it seems foolish to expect a sizable fraction of them to fall to Earth, as predicted in Revelation. The Earth …on the other hand, to test Man's faith in the literal veracity of scripture, has shrunk to become much smaller than the sun, and has taken to circling the latter, instead of vice versa, as originally established. Furthermore (confirming its sinful nature), it has floated up off its pillars or foundations, lost its four corners, and become a silly ball, on which there just is no possible mountaintop from which one could see all nations of the Earth. Ice Ages Very inconvenient! They have to have occurred since the Flood, since, according to creationists, the surface of the Earth was reworked by the Flood (to create, for instance, the Grand Canyon practically overnight), which would have messed up all those marks of glaciers on the landscape. That means mile-thick ice sheets had to advance and retreat again and again, across half the Northern Hemisphere, with the speed of freight trains. The Apostle Paul Dustin Huwe points out that in 1 Timothy 1:4 and Titus 3:9, Paul advises us to ignore "fables and endless genealogies." The genealogies of Gen 10, Chr 1-9, Mt 1, and Lk 3 are one of the key ways creationists have 'proved' the Earth to be about 6,000 years old. Secondly, in Titus 1:14, Paul tells us to ignore Jewish fables. Wouldn't that mean most of the Old Testament, if not all of Genesis? Other Cultures Like those damn Egyptians that didn't seem to notice a world-wide Flood, though they were around at the time and had a liking for writing everything down (they'd write down what people wore to parties, darn it, why would they fail to note a Flood that covered the entire Earth? AND they were there before and after the time of the Flood, so either they stayed there, high and dry, or one of Noah's sons, who was not Egyptian at all, emigrated to the Nile and reinstituted the dead and damned Egyptian civilization perfectly, including the practices that got them damned in the first place!). Or the Asian Indians, or the Chinese, or any of the other cultures that also possessed written histories, yet failed to note any of the cataclysmic acts of the Judaeo-Christian god. (Satan must have told them to not write it down… yep… that must be it.) DNA Nasty stuff. It's really a shame that it had to turn up and confirm predictions of relationships made by evolutionary theory perfectly. And what a dirty trick to have human DNA fit right into the distribution, right next door to the chimps'! It's just not fair. It almost looks like Someone arranged the whole thing just to make evolution appear to be true. Ribs …human ribs, that is, present a real problem. I've been told, on good authority (by creationists, whose scientific authority is the Bible, and what could be more authoritative?), that men have one less rib than women, because one of Adam's ribs was removed to mold into Eve. My creationist informant has generally become confused upon being asked if that means one less pair of ribs, or just one rib missing from one side. Then my instructor in human origins becomes red in the face and defensive, if not to say hostile, when asked if he has ever actually counted ribs on male and female human skeletons, living or deceased. None that I've met have ever actually tried this simplest of scientific experiments, which could go a long way toward proving a testable prediction of creationism. NEWSFLASH: I've just been informed by a rock-solid creationist that the latest discovery of "creation science" is that men used to have fewer ribs than women, but they don't anymore! Perhaps creationists have unearthed a whole bunch of ancient skeletons, with all the males being short a rib. An appeal: PLEASE reveal this evidence to the rest of the world, so that we all can be brought into the Light of True Bible Science! The Order of Creation …is a bottomless can of worms for literal creationists, especially if one takes literally and in their most obvious meanings both Genesis 1 and 2, which don't match in many particulars. But consider just a couple of minor difficulties in the first chapter. For one, the light of day is created before the sun from which it comes. If we assume it was some divine form of light, requiring no material source, then what need of the sun? In the same curious order were plants created before the sun, which is needed for photosynthesis (especially confounding to the day-age folks). Authentic Degrees and Credentials Isn't education a pain? It seems that creationists are more prone to getting their science degrees from non-accredited (or just plain fake) religious institutions rather than genuine, accredited schools or universities. Sometimes that's too much of a pain, so they go to a degree mill. Fifty bucks and an SASE, and you're a Ph.D., ready and qualified to refute evolution! For a lovely picture of the "university" where "Dr." Kent Hovind got his "PhD" : Libraries and Schools John has also realized that creationists hate libraries, because they allow curious people like him to find the resources they list, which have been terribly misquoted. That also makes him think they hate schools, that taught him to read and use the library to get information. Flat-Earthers Oh, yes, there are still some around, and they make young-Earth creationists uncomfortable, because their risible, crackpot notions are based on a literal interpretation of the Bible. The Nobel Prize Committee …is seemingly blind to the enlightenment brought to the world by "creation scientists." Is that because "creation science" would overturn so many "preconceived notions" of the "scientific establishment," with its "deeply-rooted prejudice against all things Christian"? I don't think so, Tim. I'll wager, conservatively, that at least half of all Nobel prizes go for discoveries that overturn, radically modify, or greatly improve upon older concepts. Science rewards the finding of better answers, not hiding from them. Creationist Scientific Research Projects They apparently hate them, because they're seldom, if ever, attempted. There are multiple reasons for that, including the facts that few creationists have a clue about how to design and conduct legitimate scientific research; doing one is probably sacrilegious, since the answer is already in the Bible, and testing it shows a lack of faith; and (I think this is the big one) they are very afraid of that most common of research outcomes: negative results. Their Own Lack of Faith (Watch 'em deny this one vehemently.) The reason creationists so rabidly deny evolution is that they have so little faith in the value and truth of the Bible that if one tiny detail is shown to be wrong, then the whole rest of it can't be depended on, either. In other words, their faith is so weak that it will fall apart if one tiny brick is knocked out of their feeble structure of faith (I call this the Jenga Principle ). Inconvenient Biblical Laws Andrew I. Kapust wonders why creationists don't keep kosher, as he proudly does. I accuse them of picking and choosing among Old Testament laws and pronouncements. Anything they like, like the six days of creation, or "Thou shalt not kill" (mainly as applied to fetuses) is the inerrant word of God. However, most of the other 687 laws (like not wearing cotton-polyester blend fabrics, keeping the SABBATH [Saturday] holy, punishing rapists by forcing them to marry their victims, etc.) they have been excused from observing by Jesus. I can't seem to find the list in the New Testament, however, that details exactly which laws can safely be ignored by fundamentalists. Insulin Edward Oleen passes on this tidbit: All the human insulin available for diabetics today is made by genetically engineered E. coli bacteria (whose native country is your colon–eewww)! What does that have to do with evolution? Real human genes were spliced into bacterial DNA using recombinant techniques, so the nasty germs now churn out authentic human insulin. Kind of sounds like the stuff that makes us human and the stuff that makes germs germy is the same kind of stuff, and is almost as interchangeable as tinkertoys. The Lengths of the Day, the Month, and the Year According to Gen. 1:14, the lights in the firmament are there "for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years." The lights are certainly not doing a good job. The solar and sidereal years are different. Neither is an integer multiple of the lunar month, and none of those time periods is an integer multiple of the day. The creationists' watch in the desert was obviously not a moonphase perpetual calendar watch. Finally, if the Sabbath is so important that a man was stoned to death for violating it, isn't it important enough that the year and the month should both be integer multiples of the seven-day week? The Tower of Babel ... It's quite odd that the Chinese, in their 8000 year recorded history, failed to mention [the collapse of the tower] in any of their chronicles. Perhaps they were too busy cleaning up after the global flood, which they also forgot to mention. Parasites of Animals Before the Fall, all creatures lived in harmony, and there were no diseases. Either one of those would rule out parasites of animals. So what did tapeworms do for sustenance? Can anyone even begin to imagine a way in which a tapeworm could parasitize a plant rather than an animal? The Poor Fossil Record Once again, creationists' logic arises to bite them in the hindquarters: Creationists often use the paucity of the fossil record as evidence against evolution, claiming that if the world were millions of years old, and life on Earth had evolved over such a vast period of time, then you should expect to find billions upon billions of fossilized organisms. This, as they are more than happy to point out, is not the case. But lack of preservation is exactly what you would expect under natural conditions, as the chances of a decaying organism hanging around long enough to be preserved are remote. However, if the fossil record were the result of a global flood, then high rates of preservation would be expected, as all organisms were subjected to the same conditions. The Missing Milk Commissar One creationist argument cites the 'irreducible complexity' of biological systems. But we can turn this argument around, and in the process reveal a cultural contradiction of conservatism; for its cosmology and its politics do not match up. Consider a carton of milk. How does it get from the farm to the grocer's shelf? If you investigate this question, you'll find that industrial society has truly elaborate food-distribution mechanisms and that its complexity is irreducible . Without the farmer or the trucker or the dispatcher or the grocer (or even the banker!) then that carton of milk would not arrive. Milk production and distribution is irreducibly complex; does this imply that there must exist a milk director? Is there a Milk Commissar to micromanage every part of the milk trade? Does that milk carton on the supermarket shelf imply, by an Argument from Design, the existence of a Milk Commissar? The Ten Commandments From me: Especially the 8th, about bearing false witness. See 300 Creationist Lies, and that's just Kent Hovind. Feel free to investigate Duane Gish's bullshit, er, I mean, "bullfrog" proteins. |

High Chairs
Some of our 147 Baby Gear Reviews View All Baby Gear Reviews »
User Review for Fisher-Price Space Saver High Chair
This is the greates item for Grandma's House - I am the Grandma....I can use it for new baby and a toddler - best money I've spent so far. Thank you Fisher Price and BabyAge.COM
User Review for Inglesina 2012 FAST Table Chair
You will find this to be the most valuable accessory you have for baby either at home or traveling. High chairs leave baby far from the table where this table chair puts baby front and center with the rest of the family. Easy to transport and set up, you won't know what you did without one. Baby needs to be able to hold his/her head up (around 6 mos) and can be used up to 2 yrs depending on weight of child . I love to give this as a shower gift and when I go out with my son's family, they get so many comments on how wonderful the chair is and where they can get one. Want to give 10 stars, but only allowed 5.
User Review for Baby Bjorn Baby Carrier Original-Cotton
We have both the original Baby Bjorn and the Baby Bjorn Air carriers. I'm 5'6 and my husband is 6'1 and we're both comfortable wearing the Baby Bjorns. I found it much more convenient to shop for just about everything wearing the Baby Bjorn versus pushing around a stroller. Our first daughter loved being so close to us.
User Review for Fisher-Price Zen Collection Cradle Swing
I bought this from babyage as a gift, it worked so so and then after a few weeks only swings very shallow or not at all. I called babyage, they said it is just over 4 weeks so I have to contact the manufacturer, Fisher Price said sorry we have no more and offerd a partial refund if I paid to ship the bulk of it back to them. I explained that I would be out about $100 after 2 shipping costs etc, they said "sorry"... It is now in the garbage 1.5 months after I paid over $200 for it including shipping, taxes etc...
High Chairs
When feeding your child, you want them to have the "best seat in the house". Whether you have to spoon feed them or they can feed themselves, a high quality highchair is important to any parent. There are so many different choices for you to pick from. Highchairs come in all different sizes, colors, and styles. With our wide selection of highchairs, we guarantee that you will be able to find the one that fits your needs and your budget.
Typically, you do not need to purchase a highchair until your baby starts to eat solid foods. This usually occurs around the 6 month period. You can of course buy a highchair earlier on. Many parents like to buy them earlier and keep them at the dinner table so they can keep a watchful eye on their little one while they eat.
There are several things that you should look for when purchasing a highchair as well. First, make sure that the highchair is safe. Pick a model that has a Juvenile Products Manufactures Association certificate on it. This certificate is found on mostly all reputable highchair manufacturing companies.
Look for a highchair with height adjustment if you plan to use the chair long term. This way, you can adjust the highchair to be easy on your arms for feeding and adjust the height as your baby grows older in age.
Also, check the straps on the highchair. Try to find a highchair where the straps are strong, durable and machine washable. Steer clear of models that only have a loop that goes around the baby's waist. It is very easy for the baby to slip out of these and get hurt.
Highchairs can also get dirty very quickly, so choose a model that will wash well. Vinyl cushions are easy to be wiped down. Also, if you choose a highchair with cloth cushions, make sure they are removable for easy cleaning.
Some of our bestselling models include:
Safety 1st Vineland Solid Wood Highchair
Gracco Classic Wooden Highchair
Whatever your needs are, you are sure to find them with our huge selection at BabyAge.com!

Product Description
Heli-Max 1SQ RTF Quadcopter
w/2.4GHz Radio, Battery & Charger
This is a Heli-Max 1SQ RTF Quadcopter w/2.4GHz Radio, Battery & Charger. The 1SQ is unlike any other quadcopter, and not just because of its compact size. A 3-axis gyro system, combined with 4 independently controlled rotor blades, makes this machine so stable anyone can fly it. In addition, it's very durable and capable of outdoor flight in light winds.
The TAGS gyro system stabilizes all three axes (yaw, roll and pitch), so external forces will not adversely affect performance. When combined with the 1SQ's four independently controlled rotor blades you have a model that hovers and maneuvers as smooth as glass! Don't let the 1SQ's compact dimensions fool you - it's a durable little machine made with tough molded plastic parts and composite materials that can stand up to incidental contact and come back for more!
The included 2.4GHz radio features selectable beginner and expert modes that let you start flying the 1SQ at the level you're most comfortable with. The 3-axis gyro system builds pilot confidence by keeping the quadcopter rock-solid stable during flight.

Santa brought this bike for xmas '07 and it has been nothing but fun for my 8 yr old! We have not needed any repairs or returns and the battery does lasts a long time,well over 2 hours, if yours does not last exchange the battery for a new one! we live in the suburbs and can't have gas powered bikes (this one is silent) so it is perfect for him and it is plenty fast. The only drawback is that it is a little heavy to go flying off of jumps but if your doing that you need a real dirt motorcycle anyway. This is so worth the money and it is great for the beach bordwalk, parks, and trails, because it is electric! no noise, no sparks, no problems!

We bought this Razor motorcycle for my 9 year old son for Christmas. He rode it for one day and the day after Christmas he went to ride it and the back wheel mechanism that catches the chain had broken. We had it repaired at a local bike shop (under warranty). Then after about 4 months the same part broke again but the kicker is the bike is only under a 90 day(3 month) warranty so I had to pay about $50 bucks to get it fixed. The less than 6 months later it broke a third time!!! So, I decided I was not spending more money to fix the bike again and since have gotten my son a gas powered bike. I had called Razor about it and the customer rep mentioned that there are "known" issues with this bike so they know there are problems with it but they are still selling it. This is a big ripoff if you ask me. Razor should not be selling a bike that there are known problems with, it is bad customer service and just wrong. Don't waste your money on this bike.

About Me Education Oriented, Grandparent, Parent Of Two Or More Children, Working Parent
The store had one in stock. I paid for them to assemble and would come back in 6 hours, so I came back the next day and found out the front wheel was damaged so they said "sorry". I opened a charge card to get the extra 15% off and now they can not order another one so I asked them to cancel everything and close the card out but they said they can't do this I would be able to do this myself once the bill comes to the house. I asked them if I could buy the floor model and they confirmed I could and knocked another $50 off the price. They wanted me to take it then but I asked them to make sure it would charge because I did not want to take it home and find out it would not. I came back 3 hours later and another sorry. I asked them to credit the card and walked out.

Bike is good Quality - opted out on the MX350 did not think it would hold up and it had no suspension. Would have purchased the MX650 but was not available locally (shipping only). The bike is great weight...nice and heavy. The materials are good quality...have only had bike for a few weeks - a gift for my 9 y.o. son. The bike requires very good care if it is going to last and I do not consider it an "off road" vehicle as touted in the manufacturer's advertisements. Off road will likely beat up the suspension and rear end requiring replaced parts and repairs or a bike that ends up in the corner of the garage. The instructions in the box include a page dedicated to informing the buyer to KEEP THE BOX in te event the bike needs to be shipped for repairs. This is probably a good idea however I paid $10 extra to have the bike assembled and the store crushed the box after assembly. I hope I do not need it. Overall very pleased with the bike and is easy to carry in back of SUV...(a bit too heavy for mom). My son loves it and so do his friends.

I purchased this for my sons 10th Birthday and he uses it daily. From up and down the street to the woods behind the neighborhood. The top speed of 15 mph is faster than you would think and perfect for a beginner to learn how to ride. Its holding up really well even after a couple times of my younger daughter laying it over. I am looking to get her the 300 model because she loves her brothers bike. Highly recommended product!!!

Review of the MX500 by a 16 Year Old
By Matthew
from Memphis, Tennessee
About Me 16 Year Old Kid
My brother and I received this bike as a gift last year. We weren't very impressed. First of all, I weight 100 lbs and my brother weighs 75, but neither of us could really enjoy a smooth ride. It has nice tires, but if you plan to ride this on anything other than flat ground, you will be disappointed. It could barely get up hills on the road, let alone in the grass. The maximum speed on the road is about 10 MPH, or a fast jogging pace - not very exciting. Also, this seriously lacks torque. It is advertised as a DIRT BIKE, which would mean it should be used off-road. It is so weak, in order to get up some hills, sometimes it is necessary to get off the bike and push it up! Also, the battery never did last an extremely long time. Eventually, this thing broke in approximately 6 months of little use. Neither me or my brother really cared when it finally died. We ended up selling it cheap instead of trying to repair it. So, to sum this up, my own opinion is this is bad news. It never really ran well, and it didn't last very long. If you really want a DIRT BIKE, get something gas-powered, or at least a better electric bike. Only get this if you plan to ride it on the road, and be prepared to push it up hills! The only really good thing about this bike is it looks cool, otherwise, steer clear... You will be glad you did.

Is the race a "Boston Qualifier"?
Yes, the race course is a certified race course and can serve as a qualifier.
The Marathon USATF Certification number is: OH11002PR
The Owens Corning Half Marathon USATF Certification number is: OH13054MW
Qualifying Times for Boston
Age Group | Men | Women |

Can I walk the Owens Corning Half Marathon?
Yes! The course primarily travels the University Parks Trail and is closed to traffic. However, because we cross a state hwy, you must be through mile 7 by 9am. The finish line will be open until 1pm.
Can I start the Marathon and then decide to switch to the finish on the 1/2 Marathon course?
No. There is limited space on each course and crashing the last few miles of the Half Marathon Course is unfair to the runners who registered for the event. You may transfer to the half marathon prior to race day provided the event is not sold out.
What flavor of sports drink is served on the course?
Gatorade Lemon/Lime
Are there energy gels on the course?
Yes. Gu Gel will be provided at water stops starting at mile 17.
Are there pacers for this year's marathon?
Yes, Dave's Running Shop will be coordinating all of the pacing responsibilities. There will be a question/answer session as part of the pre race Expo. The pacer times will be published on the Pacing Page upon confirmation from approved pacers.
Port-A-Johns – how many and where?
There are over 70 port-a-johns at the start, finish and at locations around the course.
How long does the course and finish line stay open?
This is a competitive race with an expected finish time of 6 hours or less. Because we hire police and security from 5 jurisdictions, it is important that we comply with the time limits set. Runners planning on finishing the race must be through mile 20 by 12:00. Please be considerate of our volunteers who begin their day as early as 3am. We do our best to score every runner and do not sweep the course; however we do modify the finish area at the 6 hour point. The chip time mats are also removed at the 6+ hour pace at which point those who finish are hand timed to be sure they are in our finish results.
Do you have facilities for showers after the race?
Yes, showers will be available at the Rec Center.
Where is the Host Hotel?
We are pleased to welcome Ramada Hotel and Conference Center as the 2014 Medical Mutual Glass City Marathon host hotel. Ramada Hotel is located on Secor Road minutes from the University of Toledo Campus.
Where can I park on race day?
As with any major parade route or road race event, expect delays and road closures and plan accordingly. We will do our best to communicate on our website which roads will be closed and at what time.
There are many parking lots and garages available on campus. View the recommended lots and a campus map on our Parking Page.
Will Race packets and BIBS be mailed out before the event?
No. The Expo and Packet Pickup will take place on April 26, 2014 in the Savage Hall Sports Arena on the Campus of The University of Toledo campus. The Expo will serve as the pick-up location for Race numbers, t-shirts and Goodie Bags for the participants.
Race day packet pickup is available starting at 5:30am. It is strongly recommended to pick up your packets on Saturday to avoid long lines and possible delays on race day morning.
Are strollers allowed on the course?
Strollers are allowed in the 5K event, ONLY.
What does the race benefit?
Our goal is to contribute to several area charities including the Great Lakes Collaborative for Autism, Maumee Habitat for Humanity, Kids Unlimited, and youth running scholarships. Visit our Charities Page to learn about contributing to these charities.
What is the policy on refunds and registration changes?
There are NO refunds or deferments of entry fees.
You may transfer from the marathon to a relay team, 1/2 marathon, or the 5K - no refunds will be made.
The use of personal music devices is strongly discouraged at this race. To enjoy all that our race has to offer and for the safety of all participants, The Glass City Marathon encourages a headphone-free environment during the running of The Glass City Marathon.
Will there be a bag drop area?
Yes, Goodwill of NW Ohio will manage a bag drop area at the start line in parking lot 6. Extra layers of clothing worn at the start may be discarded at the bag drops. Any clothing items abandoned at the bag drop area will be considered a donation. Also, any clothing discarded on the course is asked to be dropped at a water stop area for collection and donation.

Senior Bowl Recap: Adventures in Mobile
This story originally published on
Romeo Crennel calls for another hot dog.
C. Bernstein, M. Lombardo
Scout.com Team Experts
Posted Jan 27, 2012
Every year, the Senior Bowl provides incredible stories. This year was no different, starting with host state Alabama introducing its new slogan, "1st in Football, 50th in Everything Else." We recap some of this year's top stories while interjecting some sarcasm and exaggerations, which should help get that Mobile taste out of your mouth.
Hot Dogs for Hire
Just one year ago,
Kansas City Chiefs
then-defensive coordinator
Romeo Crennel
spent significant time chatting it up with fans and doing his best David Copperfield impersonation as he made hot dogs disappear at the Sirius Football Heads camper. Somehow the Sultan of the Sausage segued his hunger for pork to a head coaching job in Kansas City (injuries to stars
Jamaal Charles
Matt Cassel
Eric Berry
sabotaged former head coach Todd Haley like Crennel would a Nathan's).
Due to our
investigative reporting last year
, ambitious
Carolina Panthers
scouts took notice and tried to devour their way to the top like Romeo. The aforementioned scouts asked us between bites to keep their names private.
We're not exactly sure how the formula works, but it goes something like this:
1) Come to Mobile
2) Eat as many hot dogs as possible
3) ????
4) Get another head coaching job
Ron Rivera, you've been forewarned.
A Can't-Do Attitude
Coach Mike Singletary
Adam Bettcher/Getty
We love the North LBs, especially Bobby Wagner and
Lavonte David
. When we asked
Minnesota Vikings
linebackers coach Mike Singletary about the group he spent all week working with, however, we learned our feelings were without merit.
"Cannot play with them! Cannot win with them! Cannot coach with them! Can't do it!" he screamed.
We asked Coach Singletary if perhaps he was being too harsh. After all, he once said you can't win with players like
Vernon Davis
, who went on to carry the
San Francisco 49ers
to the NFC Championship as soon as Singletary left town.
Coach's response? He dropped his pants and left.
A Hearty Handshake
David's teammate, FS
Alfonzo Dennard
, was knocked out of action with a hip injury. No official word on how the injury occurred, but sources say it happened during Dennard's meeting with the
Detroit Lions
. He apparently went to shake the hand of coach Jim Schwartz, who misconstrued Dennard's gesture as an act of aggression before hip-checking him to the ground and chasing him out of the interview room.
Dennard is expected to meet next week with
Tim Tebow
for a laying of the hands.
Holy Mediocrity, Batman!
QB Tim Tebow
Jim Rogash/Getty
Jacksonville Jaguars
head coach Jack Del Rio was in town looking for either work or his 349th leather jacket. His search for both ended when he was recently named the defensive coordinator of the
Denver Broncos
We asked Del Rio why he opted for the Broncos job.
"It's all about Tebow," he said. "I'll tell you what, that kid is something special. You just shake his hand and you get an instant craving for unleavened bread. It's like a scene from Evan Almighty."
By combining the erratic Tebow with the consistently mediocre Del Rio, John Elway has laid the foundation for a team that can win as many as eight games per season for the next one to two years. It should be a magical ride.
More Quarterback Quandaries
This year's Senior Bowl quarterback class might not have multiple first-round selections or four players selected in the top 36 selections like last year, but there are some interesting characters.
Boise State
Kellen Moore
was forced to carry around his Senior Bowl identification everywhere he went as he was denied entry at every checkpoint due to his childlike features. Moore was unable to immediately weigh in as the Senior Bowl committee forgot to take down the measuring stick stating, "You have to be
tall to ride," from last week's Nickelodeon Carnival. Moore found it especially frustrating when he was not allowed to immediately purchase lottery tickets without ID (legal gambling age in Alabama is 12), as the only way he is going to see an NFL field is if he wins Powerball and purchases the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
As for the other signal callers, N.C. State Wolfpack turned Colorado Rockies turned
Badgers quarterback
Russell Wilson
was upset after the second day that the NCAA wouldn't allow him to transfer to the Players All-Star Classic in Little Rock. Rumor has it Wilson requested the transfer as he struggled seeing over the tackling sleds in Mobile, even with lifts in his shoes. There's no truth to the rumor that the Colorado Rockies moved on as they feel they can better resurrect the career of Drew Henson rather than Wilson.
South team quarterbacks Ryan Lindley and
Nick Foles
got into a bit of hot water in Mobile as they managed to bloody the noses of the Mobile Mayor Sam Jones and former Houston Oilers head coach Jerry Glanville, respectively. More disturbing, the quarterbacks performed such heinous acts while simply trying to throw out-routes while these two fine gentlemen were sitting 32 rows off the field.
As Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan looked at the QB talent on display, he decided to call owner Dan Snyder and immediately offer both
Rex Grossman
John Beck
multi-year contract extensions.
Shanahan told all four QBs that if they continue their erratic throwing the best thing they can hope for is to be a starting quarterback for the Denver Broncos.
Although the signal callers didn't improve their draft stock, both Moore and Wilson were consoled by sitting on
Oklahoma State
Brandon Weeden
's knee while Weeden recollected a similar all-star game experience when his original graduating class included all-time greats Johnny Unitas and George Blanda.

A very large problem within Google Maps is business owners not knowing what to do about their Google Maps listing, when they move business locations or how to solve the problem their self. We have seen Google employees tell to mark their old business location as closed – though the problem with doing so is very problematic – two fold..
(1) Google Maps will show your business listing as being closed.
(2) All reviews you've accumulated over time will vanish with the "closed business listing option". Why would anyone do this?
Almost a year ago, Google promised to make some changes to correct this issue, and well — after a year, Google has made the small correction.
Reported by someone from within the Local SEO scene -
The problem with this folks is that it does not solve problems one and two, above.
(1) It does in fact say that the business might of been relocated or closed – though it does not say either or – it says both.
(2) The reviews will still yet become removed when you follow Google's new route.
Instructions showing how to do this have been provided here and again, it does not. correct everything.
Learn a bit more if you can sort through all the shit on this Forum discussion at Google Business Help.

Mayor Emanuel, Chicago City Council Take Bold Action to Protect Kids from Flavored Tobacco Products
WASHINGTON, DC – Mayor Rahm Emanuel and the Chicago City Council have taken bold action to reduce youth tobacco use by prohibiting the sale of flavored tobacco products, including menthol-flavored cigarettes, within 500 feet of schools. This ordinance, approved today by the City Council, will help prevent young people from becoming addicted to tobacco and starting on a path that all too often leads to serious disease and premature death.
Fifteen Years after Tobacco Settlement, Report Finds Most States Continue to Shortchange Prevention Programs
WASHINGTON, DC – Fifteen years after reaching more than $246 billion in legal settlements against the tobacco industry, most states have broken their promise to spend a significant portion of the money on programs to prevent kids from smoking and help smokers quit, according to a report released today by a coalition of public health organizations.
States are being "penny-wise and pound-foolish" in shortchanging tobacco prevention and cessation program despite conclusive evidence that these programs reduce smoking, save lives and save money, the report concludes. Tobacco use is the number one cause of preventable death in the United States, killing more than 400,000 Americans and costing the nation $96 billion in health care bills each year.
New York City Bill to Include E-Cigarettes in Clean Indoor Air Law Will Help Protect Everyone's Right to Breathe Clean Air
WASHINGTON, DC – The Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids strongly supports legislation introduced in the New York City Council to include electronic cigarettes in the city's clean indoor air law.
This legislation will further the fundamental purpose of the law – to protect everyone's right to breathe clean, healthy air in workplaces and public places. It will protect non-users from possible health risks posed by e-cigarette emissions. E-cigarettes currently are unregulated, and there has been very limited research about their health consequences either for users or non-users exposed to their emissions.
Smoking to Blame as Lung Cancer Deaths Rise in China
A recent conference in China highlighted both the huge toll tobacco use is taking on the country and the need for urgent action to stem this growing epidemic.
Cigarette smoking is the main force behind a 465 percent increase in lung cancer deaths in China over the past 30 years, making lung cancer the top cause of cancer in the country, according to doctors and researchers speaking at the Sixth China North-South Lung Cancer Summit in Beijing.
New Study: FDA Vastly Underestimated How Much Graphic Cigarette Warnings Would Reduce Smoking in U.S.
WASHINGTON, DC — A new study in the scientific journal Tobacco Control provides powerful new evidence that graphic warning labels on cigarette packs are effective in reducing smoking rates. The study also finds that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) vastly underestimated the impact that proposed graphic warnings would have in reducing smoking in the United States.
Diane Disney Miller Cared About Kids, Just Like Her Father
WASHINGTON, DC – Diane Disney Miller, who died Tuesday at age 79, was a private person for most of her life, but also became known publicly for her passionate commitment to the arts and to preserving the memory of her father.
Today is the Great American Smokeout
When you quit smoking, how long does it take for your health to improve?
No time at all. The health benefits of quitting smoking are almost immediate. As soon as you quit, you start to improve your health and increase your chances of leading a long, healthy life.
For many reasons, any day is a good day to quit smoking. But today is an especially good day. It's the American Cancer Society's Great American Smokeout – a day when smokers are encouraged to quit smoking, or to make a plan to quit smoking.
Hawai`i County Council Increases Age of Sale for Tobacco Products to 21 – Bold Step Will Reduce Smoking and Save Lives
WASHINGTON, DC – The Hawai`i (Big Island) County Council today has taken bold action to reduce tobacco use and save lives by approving legislation that prohibits the sale of tobacco products to anyone under the age of 21. Tobacco use kills more than 400,000 Americans, including more than 1,000 people in the state of Hawai`i, each year. Virtually all of them started using tobacco before age 21. Raising the sale age for tobacco products will help prevent young people from becoming addicted to tobacco and starting on a path that all too often leads to serious disease and premature death.
New Report: Africa at Risk of Becoming "Epicenter of Tobacco Epidemic"
A new report by the American Cancer Society warns that without urgent action to prevent tobacco use, Africa will be the "future epicenter of the tobacco epidemic" with soaring rates of tobacco use and related disease and death.
According to the report, rates of tobacco use are likely to increase as African nations continue to experience strong economic and massive population growth. The number of African smokers will skyrocket from 77 million today to 572 million by 2100 unless proven measures to reduce tobacco use are implemented and enforced throughout the continent.
Mayor Bloomberg Signs Landmark Bills to Further Reduce Smoking in New York City
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg made history again today in the fight against tobacco.
Mayor Bloomberg signed into law bills that prohibit the sale of tobacco products to anyone under the age of 21, establish a minimum price for cigarettes and little cigars, and ban tobacco industry discounting schemes that keep tobacco products affordable and appealing to kids. New York City will be the first major city or state to have a minimum tobacco sale age of 21.
The federal government must provide strong leadership in the fight against tobacco use, the number one cause of preventable death in the United States.
After a long battle, Congress and President Obama in 2009 enacted a new law giving the Food and Drug Administration authority to regulate tobacco products and marketing.
The Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids was a leader in the fight for this law and is working to ensure it is vigorously enforced.
The Obama Administration also has launched the first national tobacco control strategy, which calls for a public education campaign and other actions to prevent kids from smoking, help smokers quit and protect everyone from harmful secondhand smoke. It is critical that the plan be robustly funded and effectively implemented.

- Trade and Tobacco
Tobacco products should be excluded from trade agreements
Tobacco use takes a huge toll in health, live and dollars in every state.
Tobacco costs state taxpayers billions each year in Medicaid and other health care expenses and imposes enormous costs on families and businesses.
State and local governments often have been in the forefront of the drive to reduce tobacco use, save lives and save money. The Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids works to put proven solutions in place in every state and community.
Go to the State and Local Issues section
The Toll of Tobacco in the U.S.
Key State and Local Issues
- Smoke-Free Laws
More and more states and localities are passing smoke-free laws that protect everyone's right to breathe clean air
- State Tobacco Taxes
Tobacco taxes are a win-win-win for states: they raise billions in revenue, reduce smoking and are popular with voters

- Broken Promises to Our Children: The 1998 State Tobacco Settlement 14 Years Later
Read our report on how the states are collecting billions in tobacco revenue, but are spending less to prevent kids from smoking and help smokers quit
- Increasing the Sale Age for Tobacco Products to 21
Nearly all smokers start as kids or young adults, and these age groups are heavily targeted by the tobacco industry. Increasing the sale age will help prevent young people from ever starting to smoke
Tobacco use killed one hundred million people worldwide in the 20th century. Without urgent action, it will kill one billion people in the 21st century.
An international treaty, the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, requires nations to implement proven measures to reduce tobacco use.
The Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids supports governments and non-governmental organizations around the world in promoting and implementing these policies. We are a partner in the Bloomberg Initiative to Reduce Tobacco Use, which focuses on low- and middle-income countries where more than 80 percent of tobacco-related deaths will occur in the coming decades.

For decades, the tobacco industry has marketed its deadly products to kids, deceived the public about the harmful effects of tobacco use and fought proven measures to reduce tobacco use.
In a landmark 2006 U.S. federal court ruling, the big cigarette makers were found to be racketeers who engaged in a deadly fraud.
Despite marketing restrictions and the imposition of new Food and Drug Administration regulations, the industry continues to try to thwart the law.
And it has redoubled its promotion of tobacco products around the world, targeting low- and middle-income countries with limited resources to deal with its deadly products and deceptive marketing.

My HP Mini 210 running Xubuntu 12.10 was working well until last night when the battery was at nearly 20 minutes. I put it on suspended
mode and charged it overnight. But now, I see this:
So, I shut down the system and started again, but get the same problem. Tried switching to old kernels, using nomodeset
and acpi=off
parameters, but the problem persists. Sometimes it just keeps looping at the boot screen, displaying "HP", but most of the time I'm stuck at that screen shown above.
What does that mean? And how do I fix it?
