Possibly the ideal blend of sling and carrier, the Baby K'tan Baby Carrier can be worn in multiple different positions — all without complicated wrapping or snapping. This parent-invented contraption is lightweight and compact like a sling, but goes over both shoulders to more evenly distribute baby's weight and has adjustable back support, more like a structured carrier. Supports infants and toddlers from birth to 3 years (8-35 lbs.) Machine wash. Imported. See Product Details

Best soft carrier I've ever used!
By RChristian
from Miramar, FL
About Me First Time Parent
Comments about Baby K'tan Baby Carrier Black Large:
The Baby K'tan is such a fabulous alternative to some of the other wraps and structured carriers on the marketing since it acts as a hybrid of them. I love the way it holds DD so close and I don't have to strain my back or arms.

Love, love, love
By Mom of Boys

About Me Parent of Two or More Children
I have used many carriers, particularly Bjorn (terrible on the back), fitted sling (good for short use, not great on the back after a while), Ergo and a Moby wrap before finding a K'tan. I used the Moby a lot with my first born at home, and it was fantastic, but the wrapping was a bit too tedious to try to do out and about. Ergo followed. With my second baby I found K'tan and it is amazing! It is not complicated to put on at all and the baby is very safe and secure. And it is so comfortable! Even now that baby is 9 months old I can still carry him comfortably in a variety of positions. I do use the sash in every position for added security, but also it holds the baby closer to my body taking some pressure off my back.

Great for colicky babies!
By C & H mommy
from New Hill, NC
This was amazing the first few months of my second child's life! He was super colicky (due to reflux/allergies), and nothing I did could calm him - except snuggle him up in the baby k'tan! It was like an instant "off" switch...truly amazing. It took a little practice at first to get him in right, but it's worth the effort. The downside is as he got older, he managed to wiggle out of it in every position I tried...at that point I switched to the baby bjorn. He's an extremely active baby though...I've seen plenty of older babies who are perfectly happy in it. It's worth every penny even if you only use it for those first few months.
Too complex

from NDakota
We have it out and have tried a few times to set it up, but have not been successful. My cousin has one and loves it. We, unfortunately, have not and will probably sell it.

I'm a busy mom of 5 and I absolutely LOVE the baby K'tan. My daughter is now 4 mos old and we still use it on a daily basis. I have tried just about every carrier/sling out there but found none that I was very crazy about. most had complicated instructions, took to long to put on and didnt fit my body well. This one fits right in my diaper bag, takes MAYBE 10 seconds to put on and comes in sizes (which was important for me because I am very tiny). This is what I give every one of my expectent friendss now.
Love It!
By Ellen
from Chicago, IL
I think this is the best carrier hands down. I have a Wrap, Bjorn and one shoulder sling as well. I was gifted two of them and handed down one. I happened upon the Baby K'tan and decided to try it after hearing great things from friends. It's basically like my wrap but already wrapped and less fabric, and goes over both shoulders like an extra secure sling. I love the way it looks and feels, and it was very easy to put on. My daughter is now 6 months and lives in it. I wish I had it when she was born. I actually ended up buying a second one for Hubby b/c we cant both fit into my Small!
very satisfied
By Alison
from Livingston, NJ
I would definitely say that this is a must for any baby shower registry. Ordered it after a my sis said she loved hers. I used the kangaroo position for 2 months straight before i moved to the outer-facing hold. I have found it to be more comfortable on my shoulders than any sling or buckled baby carrier. I also love nursing in the K'tan b/c it has so much coverage. no one knows i'm nursing while i'm shopping/ errand running or in a restaurant. Highly recommend the K'tan.
Simple and comfortable
By Bethany
from California
I have had various different carriers over the years (Moby, bjorn, maya wrap, and peanut shell - i am obsesses!), and this is simply my favorite, hands down. It is unbeleivably easier than my Moby wrap, but i can still wear it in all the same ways as the wrap that i loved and it is just as comfortable. I can't say enough positive things about my Baby K'tan! it has been such a help and i recommend it to everone!

Great Carrier
By Walking Mom
from Kansas
This carrier is much better than other ones with buckles and snaps. My daughter and I are both much more comfortable using the baby k'tan than other carriers. I like this product a lot...it is easy after a few practice runs of getting your baby in each position. Its very comfortable and my daughter feels all snuggled in inside the fabric. The different positions take some practice but it gets much easier each time you wear it.
Best carrier yet
By iogato
from morgantown, wv
I bought this for travel use and it was a breeze at the airport and on the plane. Easier to use than the larger one piece of fabric wraps and lots of versatility in positioning. Make sure to size correctly AND start using early so the baby gets used to the different positions.
Heavy weight fabric
By Grandma Idgie
from Southeast Kansas
About Me Grandparent
I love it !!! Only drawback was that the heavy weight fabric made it too warm for both me and the baby. In the fall or winter, it would be ideal.
Wonderful sling for newborns
By Kathlene
from Miramar
this sling was so amazing for me and my newborn. with a colicky baby, it's not easy to work and do things around the house - they always want to be held! the Baby K'tan saved me. not only was it easy for me to figure out- a first time mom new to babywearing, but it was so comfortable and supportive. what a great sling.
amazing amazing amazing!
By nikki
from CA
I can't believe I only just found the Baby K'tan carrier with my third child. I hear it's somewhat new, so I guess I can't blame myself! It is amazing product that I can now NOT imagine living WITHOUT. I use it daily. my son falls asleep the minute I put him in. the most amazing part is that I spend about 3 seconds putting it on and adjusting it, I used to spend 5-10 minutes putting on my wrap and my Bjorn. I also LOVE how great it feels when I wear it. My shoulders and back do not ache. I am gifting every pregnant friend with this carrier! Kudos to the creators!
Used it everyday
By mamarama
from chicago, il
I used this everyday with my second child. My kids like to face out so I have to find a good strong "crosstie" sling. With my daughter I used a maya wrap. She was born in the winter and I loved the extra warmth that the fabric supplied. However my son was born in the summer and I dreaded the maya wrap. The K'tan was a great solution for me. I never got the hang of using it when he was an infant but so much of that depends on body shape (and I'm kinda round :) As soon as he was about 2 months old, he started to face out and then I used it everyday. I like the material, it is comfortable and washable. I like the simplicity and versatility of this sling. In a pinch, the sling can double as a changing mat or as a blanket. And I began to wear it, in the fall, loose around my neck all the time, like a scarf. When he needed it, I popped him in. However, I wish that I could have bought additional wrap pieces so that I could have some variety in the look. Like the main piece could be brown and then there could be like 3 wrap pieces of different colors. And since the wrap piece gets the dirtiest, then you could have one on the washer while using another. Anyway, that's how I would improve the product. Otherwise, it's a great sling.

Fantasy Scrubs of the Week:
Final Regular Season 2011 NFL Power Rankings - Top 10
Follow @walterfootball for updates.
- Green Bay Packers (15-1) - Previously: #1 - Quarterback controversy in Green Bay! Matt Flynn doesn't wear hats to every interview like Aaron Rodgers, so he may have the edge to start in Round 2 of the playoffs.
In all seriousness, Flynn's performance might make me give Drew Brees the MVP award. I'd pick Rodgers over Brees if I were starting a team, but if you take both quarterbacks off their respective teams, I feel like Green Bay would be much better than New Orleans. The Saints might be almost as bad as the Colts because Brees does so much for that offense.
- New Orleans Saints (13-3) - Previously: #3 - I don't know why the Saints played their starters against the Panthers. They had no shot at the No. 2 seed. Even if the 49ers had lost to the Rams, they still would have maintained the No. 3 seed.
Don't believe me? Fine. Just check out this poll an e-mailer sent over:
See? The 49ers would have gotten the bye no matter what (barring a tie).
- Baltimore Ravens (12-4) - Previously: #4 - Just keep running the ball, Cam. Just keep running the ball.
Let's go to Notes from NFL.com GameCenter - a list of a few stupid comments I read on NFL.com's GameCenter and my thoughts on them:
1. "the bengals dont know what thier getting themselves into lol."
I don't think you did either when you signed up for GameCenter.
2. "Stealer fans have class?????? this coming from a team whos QB is a rap ist!!!! plz GO back to the slums u call pittsburgh"
Ben Roethlisberger does rap? When is his next album coming out?
3. "if you heart can take another joe cool trashing and you can make it far enough in the postseason well be more than happy to RELEASE THE FLACCEN on you for a third time lol."
I don't think "me" heart can take much more of this GameCenter idiocy. RELEASE THE FLACCEN!
- New England Patriots (13-3) - Previously: #2 - I'm dropping the Patriots because their defense is awful.
Anyway, my NFL Picks have sucked this week, but just be glad that I don't give out the same gambling advice that GameCenter posters do:
Pats,will loose brady is out
Hey, maybe his prediction was right. Maybe they did loose. I sure as hell didn't see them tight. Bwahahahaha.
- San Francisco 49ers (13-3) - Previously: #5 - Niner fans are the absolute coolest. Don't believe me? Just check this post out from the 49ers-Rams board:
Two girls each, eh? If you have two girls to yourself, what the hell are you doing posting on GameCenter, bub?
- Detroit Lions (10-6) - Previously: #6 - It's always fun to welcome in new bettors. When gambling on football, you start noticing really shady things. For instance, Facebook friend Doug R. posted this on my wall:
First time I placed a bet. Lions -3 1/2. Now I see why you rip refs so much. These guys' ability to officiate is like Plaxico's gun control...
I've realized that the trick to win football wagers is to hack into the officials' online sportsbook accounts and find out whom they are betting on that week. Like the refs in the Packers-Lions game were all over Green Bay and the points. It's a foolproof system.
- Pittsburgh Steelers (12-4) - Previously: #7 - No way the Steelers lose to Tim Tebow and the Broncos, right?
By the way, I forgot to show you this mock conversation that forum member CKane posted during the 49ers-Steelers Monday night game when Jon Gruden interviewed Alex Smith:
Jon Gruden: "What made you want to come back to the 49ers?"
Alex Smith: "No one was stupid enough to pay me or let me start."
Ugh, seriously, what kind of a question is that? No one wanted Smith this past offseason. Thank God there was no Monday night game this week because I'm sick of Gruden.
- New York Giants (9-7) - Previously: #8 - Curse you, Giants, for eliminating the Cowboys. This prevented us from watching an epic scene like this unfold in the playoffs:
- Philadelphia Eagles (8-8) - Previously: #9 - I don't see how the Eagles can replace offensive line coach-turned-defensive coordinator Juan Castillo with Steve Spagnuolo. Spags is a good coach, but Castillo was the first coordinator in league history to do something like this, courtesy of NFL.com:
That's even more impressive than a shutout! There's no way Castillo can be let go.
By the way, I'll have an interview with Castillo posted later on.
- Atlanta Falcons (10-6) - Previously: #13 - I had the Bengals in the No. 10 spot last week, but did you know that they are 0-7 this year against teams currently in the playoffs? That's pretty bad. The Falcons aren't much better at 1-4, but 0-7 is ridiculous.
You can see the whole list on my NFL Picks page.
Final Regular Season 2011 NFL Power Rankings - Bottom 10
32. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-12) - Previously: #31 - "Stats are for losers." -- Raheem Morris.
Having your team quit on you is a loser's trait as well. See ya, Raheem.
By the way, I found this amusing:
That's something you won't ever hear on ESPN. The sad thing is though, I could see LeGarrette Blount in a learning-disabled class. Speaking of which...
I love GameCenter. You can't make this stuff up.
31. St. Louis Rams (2-14) - Previously: #32 - It's time for my weekly bashing of NFL.com's bogus edge meter:
The 49ers are playing for a bye. The Rams are trying to land the No. 1 pick. Surely, this is a slight edge.
If San Francisco has a slight edge over St. Louis, then perhaps this would apply as well (thanks to Jay B. for this idea):
Emmitt can speak gooder English than someone else! It's a New Year's miracle!
30. Indianapolis Colts (2-14) - Previously: #29 - Speak of the devil, Famous GameCenter user Taton is still banned.
I wish I could read what Taton has to say about the Colts firing Bill Polian and the entire front office. Here are the posts Taton would have made on GameCenter if he were still a member:
On Bill Polian's firing:
- colt fire b.poland!!! b.poland make bad draft pick make good decison fire b.plan bfore he screw up draft and not take a.lock!!!!
On the rest of the front office getting axed:
- jim isray fire all front offece!!! why not fire back offece tooo!!!! jim isray make gay sex with cach cadwell in back offece!!!!!!!!
On Jim Caldwell still keeping his job:
- colt need fire cach caswell!!!! he spend to much tiem licking penas in back offece with jim isray and cristis prainter!!!!
On Peyton Manning being traded by March:
- p.manning throw too many int byebye p.mannnig team you go to have no hoep for playoff!!!!!!
On the Colts starting over with Andrew Luck:
- colt sack for leck and now get beast quarterbak in draft!!! i just hope cach casewell fire so he no lick a.lock penas in back offece with jim isray and cristis prainter!!!!!
29. Jacksonville Jaguars (5-11) - Previously: #30 - I love the work that Scott Hanson does on NFL Red Zone, but he said something curious Sunday:
"There are some people in Jacksonville who don't want the Jaguars to win because of draft position."
There are people in Jacksonville who care about what the Jaguars do? This is news to me.
28. Cleveland Browns (4-12) - Previously: #28 - Thanks to Jacksonville's victory and the possibility of Peyton Manning going to Washington, the Browns' chances of landing Robert Griffin have just improved. They may not even have to move up to No. 3 to get him.
Speaking of Manning, check out this GameCenter post:
Manatee might be on to something. Instead of drafting Andrew Luck, the Colts should replace P Mann with Tee Martin.
27. Minnesota Vikings (3-13) - Previously: #27 - I was scared I was going to lose my Bears pick Sunday when Joe Webb replaced Christian Ponder. Webb inexplicably struggled, however. What happened? Hmm...
The Adventures of Derek Anderson's Magic Flask!
Joe Webb: This sucks. I'm so much better than that Ponder guy, but my coach doesn't want to start me for some reason. I need a drink.
Derek Anderson: Diiiid yewww sayyy drriiinnkkk? Iffff yewww wannanerrr beeee startunnn quarrrrbaaakk havvve a sssipp offff thissssss hic!
Joe Webb: I'll do anything to be the starter.
*** Ten minutes later... ***
Joe Webb: Whooooaaaa wwwuutttt cooolorrr issss myyy teeeammm I foorrrgoott I'lll jussss throwwwww tooo raanddddommzzz ppeeeopplleezzz!!!
The sad thing is that Drunken Webb is still better than Ponder.
26. Buffalo Bills (6-10) - Previously: #26 - Happy New Year! Wait, I won't get in trouble for saying that, will I?
Here are more Notes from NFL.com GameCenter (all from Facebook friend Jay B):
1. "aaron rodgerss should be mvp"
Apparently there is more than one Aaron Rodgers.
2. "Joe Flacco sux man lmaoooo"
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
3. "your mom like the chargers. How do I know?? SHE TALKS IN HER SLEEP BOOM"
And boom goes the dynamite.
25. Washington Redskins (5-11) - Previously: #24 - I love this story. ESPN 980 Washington reported Monday that Redskins inside linebacker Rocky McIntosh "stuffed his bed with pillows/blankets to make it look like he was in and not breaking curfew" during the team's trip to Philadelphia.
Stupid Rocky. His friend Cameron told him not to take his father's 1961 Ferrari GT California, but nooooooo, Rocky got caught because he just didn't listen.
24. Chicago Bears (8-8) - Previously: #23 - Ugh, how snake-bitten are the Bears? If losing Jay Cutler and Matt Forte wasn't enough, they may not have Brian Urlacher ready for the beginning of next year. My condolences, Chicago fans.
Hey, at least Mike Tice isn't your defensive coordinator. Moving him into that spot may seem silly, but that's what the Eagles did with Juan Castillo. As promised, here's my interview with Castillo:
Me: Hey Juan, thanks for taking the time to talk to me.
Juan Castillo: No problem, Walter.
Me: Your defense struggled early, but really improved in the final quarter of the season. What was the major difference?
Juan Castillo: Our players worked really hard, and the coaching staff worked really hard, and when you work really hard and believe in yourself, good things happen.
Me: But most NFL players work hard. Were there any schematic changes? I noticed you played more man in the final few games.
Juan Castillo: We played more man coverage, but we believed in ourselves and worked hard, and we prepared for our opponent, and when you work hard and believe in yourself, and prepare as best as you can, good things happen.
Me: What about Nnamdi Asomugha? What was the reason for his turn-around late in the year?
Juan Castillo: No one works harder and prepares better than Nnamdi. You should see how hard he works in practice every day and how much he prepares for his opponent each week.
Me: But I'm sure Nnamdi has always worked hard. Why did he suddenly improve in the final few games?
Juan Castillo: Nnamdi just continued to work hard and believe in himself. It was the belief in himself that really carried him. If you work hard, believe in yourself and give it your all, good...
Me: Yeah, I know, good things happen. What sort of things do you need to do to improve this defense next year?
Juan Castillo: I need to continue to work hard and to believe in myself. I need to prepare for my opponents and give it my all, and if that happens, our defense will improve because the players work hard and try hard, and they believe in themselves.
Me: Why do I feel like I'm talking to a broken record here?
Juan Castillo: Because you work hard and you believe in yourself, and you prepared for this interview. I've always admired your Web site, Walter, because you work hard and give it your all, and from what I can tell, you believe in yourself, and you prepare for the games each week.
Me: Why, thank you. By the way, what's your favorite cheesesteak spot in Philly?
Juan Castillo: My favorite is Station in the Krewstown shopping center in Northeast Philadelphia.
Me: Really? Mine too!
Juan Castillo: The workers at Station work hard and believe in themselves, and they prepare the food really well. They give it their all and work hard at making the best food possible, and when you work hard and believe in yourself, good things happen.
Me: How'd I know you were going to say that? All this talk about cheesesteaks has me hungry. Do you know the fastest way to get to Station from Feasterville? I take Bustleton, but there's always too much traffic.
Juan Castillo: I don't know the fastest way, but I have no doubt you'll find the fastest way there if you work hard and believe in yourself. If you prepare for the car ride over and believe in yourself and work hard and give it your all, you'll get there fast.
Me: Juan, if I wasn't so hungry, I'd strangle you right now.
23. New York Jets (8-8) - Previously: #14 - Why has Mark Sanchez regressed so much? Is it a lack of talent? Poor football IQ? No. Here's why:
If I were dating that, I seriously doubt I would have the motivation to improve as a quarterback.

No. No. Wrong. #1. The championship team, shall remain the championship team, until said team is removed from its pedestal. I could care less if Headache Harvin went to the Hawks. When Seattle wins a Division title, then you can rank them ahead of the 49ers. #2. You are a hypocrite. "Rodger Goodell screwed them, as they played at 1 PM" BUT THEN: "The 49ers played at 12" and what happened when they played at 12? THEY WON. So take your bias ass and shove it. The 49ers overcame the same "difficulties" Seattle did, and did it an hour earlier. And the Seahawks won because RGIII was screwed by Shanahan. And we overcame the deficit Atlanta gave us, and they didn't. Simple as that. #3. The best team in the NFL? On paper, maybe. But it's all about wins. And frankly, the Denver Broncos hold that title. Or Atlanta, if you feel inclined. I'm not going to be the guy that says "MY TEAM (49ers) WERE THE BEST NOT THE HAWKS" because they didn't have enough W's to earn that title. So once again, you are wrong. #4. Last thing. Congratulations to the Seahawks beating the 49ers in one regular season game. Kudus, really; you split the series with us. Now, do tell, what does that mean for anything? It's any given Sunday. 49ers tied the Rams. Does that make the Rams the better team? CERTAINLY NOT! It's a regular season win. Frankly, no one will talk about it 10 years from now. What they will, however, is how the 49ers made it to the Super Bowl. That is something the Seahawks failed to accomplish. I'm good with the trash talk. I love that Hawks and Niners fans can duke it out about this coming season. I respect most of their fans, too. I just cannot stand this author putting them at #1, and using poor reasoning to do so. The Broncos are the best team in the NFL, then maybe my Niners, then the Seahawks. But there is no way that they are the best team in the NFL.

Y'all too...I like the Chiefs...I think they're better than quite a few teams ranked ahead of them too...
Once Eric Berry's back, and with the additions y'all made, I think y'all will be good...hope A Smith can be good for y'all...

1)They plan on using Pitoitua at DE (do ur research on ur own team, lol)
2)Greene is terrible in short yardage situations (ask anyone who actually watched Jets games). 3)CJ WAS a top 5 back 2 years ago, not now (dances wayyy to much). 4)People said that KCs D was so young last year all they could do was get better (I assure you that did not happen) 5)No guarentee that Britt is ever 100% again, Wright showed flashes... But Locker's accuracy is terrible... regardless of how long he has to throw. 6)You sound exactly like all the KC fan freinds I had before the start of the year last season... Good luck, you will need it.

10-6, 11-5****
Also, didn't see your correction, so let's just call it even lol... I like the Chiefs too, but we're going to smoke check ya'll this season... Yall should have sucked another couple season and drafted Johnny Football... Now, with A Smith, yall are destined for mediocracy for a few seasons...lol Also, we stole ya'lls big DT Ropati Pitoitua... We now actually have some big boys in the middle with him and Sammie Hill...something us Titans fans are very excited about because our team was filled with undersized DT's...The Greg Williams effect is already taking place here.

6-10(even though they will EASILY win more than this) is still better than being ranked 29th....
Also, just because CJ and Greene are overpaid does not mean they aren't good RB's. The fact that Greene will be able to put all his effort into short down plays and CJ won't have to worry about that makes them even better... Also, why do you think Locker was turnover prone??? It was his first season as a starter and he had a horrible O-line. With Levitre(arguably the best pass blocking guard in the leaue) and the addition of a good rookie(Warmack, Cooper, Warford, B Jones, etc.) Locker will actually have some time to throw he ball....Also, not to mention, Britt was recovering from injury still last year and K Wright was a rookie..Also, not to mention, we had a horrible offensive coordinator for half of last season... I wish people would do their research before bashing a team and its' players.. Our defense(youngest in the league) can only get better too. Especially with Gregg Williams coaching them. Can't wait for everyone to eat their words when the Titans finish 10-5(not 11-4 like you claim I stated). Don't get me wrong, I could easily see us losing to Pitt at Pitt and getting swept by Houston, but I would honestly be surprised if we finished worse than 8-8 next season...
NFC West is Best

Seattle is getting a lot of attention this off-season, and rightly so, because the home field advantage they have alone is going to make it tough for anyone to come into their house and get the win. At the same time, Defenses have a whole season of footage on Russel Wilson and I just think that there are a lot of expectations being placed on a second year QB who has to work hard to create throwing space for himself. I think a lot of Pundits are also underestimating the role the rams could have on that division if they play in it as well as they did last year.

Florida Gators Football News: Regular Season and Preseason Updates
Florida Gators Football Tickets - Overview
1/24/13: The UF football program may be taking a big hit this offseason, as several underclassmen have declared for the NFL draft and defensive coordinator Dan Quinn is leaving the program to take the same position with the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks position came open when defensive coordinator Gus Bradley accepted the head coaching position with the Jacksonville Jaguars. So basically it was a trade. The Gators defense was much better than expected, and led the team to the Sugar Bowl, where they were exposed by the Louisville Cardinals - ironically led by former UF DC Charlie Strong.
1/10/13: There were more than a few respected 'experts' who picked the FSU Seminoles to fall to the Northern Illinois Huskies in the Orange Bowl. That did not happen. But virtually no one expected the No. 22 Louisville Cardinals from the Big East to upset No. 4 Florida. That did just happen. UF seemed lethargic and uninterested in the game, and quickly fell behind. The Gators tried to throw in some trick plays, but the Louisville defense was strong enough to hold on to the lead. Gators coach Will Muschamp said after the game that the team was outplayed and out-coached.
12/27/12: Like rival FSU, the Gators have several talented juniors who may declare for the NFL draft early. Sharrif Floyd, among the top defensive tackles in college football, could be a first round draft pick, while safety Matt Elam is a first team All American and will certainly get the interest of a few pro teams. Meanwhile, the rest of the team is preparing to face the Louisville Cardinals in the Sugar Bowl on January 2, 2013. The Gators are heavy favorites, and no one want a repeat of the Florida-Cincinnati thrashing from a few years ago.
12/20/12: Florida may be making preparations to play Louisville in the Sugar Bowl on January 2nd, but that is not stopping Will Muschamp and company from building for the future. The Gators signed three junior college transfers, who will presumably be with the team next season. Offensive linemen Tyler Moore (a former starter at Nebraska) and Trenton Brown signed, as did defensive lineman Darious Cummings. The three are expected to enroll in classes in January and be available for service in the 2013 season. Getting big men in the trenches is vital in the SEC, and it looks like the Gators have found a few monsters.
12/13/12: The Florida Gators have stopped complaining about not having a shot at the BCS Championship and are directing their efforts at preparing for the Sugar Bowl. The number three ranked Gators will play the twenty-first ranked Louisville Cardinals on January 2 at the Superdome in New Orleans.The Gators are coming off of an unexpected 11-1 season with the only loss coming at the hands of the Georgia Bulldogs. UF is heavily favored in the match up, and many fear this could be the same type of Sugar Bowl as a few years ago when Florida routed Big East Champion Cincinnati.
12/6/12: Due to the inexplicable unfairness of the BCS standings, the Florida Gators are headed back to the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans. The Gators finished second in the SEC East, behind Georgia. Georgia took Alabama to the final play in the SEC Championship Game, before falling 32-28. But Georgia's second loss counts in the computer rankings (even though Georgia beat Florida earlier in the year), so the Bulldogs got shut out of a BCS game and instead will go to the Capital One Bowl in Orlando. Florida will face Louisville on January 2 in the Sugar Bowl.
11/29/12: For all the good tidings beating archrival Florida State brings, UF fans are cringing that they will be left out of the National Championship. The Gators have one loss and have played one of the toughest schedules in the country. But that one loss was to Georgia, who sits one spot ahead of UF in the BCS rankings. Georgia and Alabama will play in the SEC Championship Game this Saturday, and the winner will likely face Notre Dame for the BCS Championship. If NCAA football had a playoff, then UF would likely qualify, but as it is, they may be forced into the Sugar or Capital One Bowls.
11/22/12: The computers love the Gators, primarily because of their strength of schedule and wins over South Carolina, Texas A&M, and LSU. UF has had two cupcake games in the past two weeks, and barely beat University of Louisiana-Lafayette at home. But now comes the big final exam, as the No. 4 Gators head to Tallahassee to face arch-rival No. 10 Florida State. A win could give them an outside shot at making the BCS Championship Game. A loss shows they are overrated, and probably earns a ticket to the Capital One Bowl. UF will have to figure out some offense if they are going to be in this game.
11/15/12: Maybe SEC teams are smarter than the rest of the NCAA. UF rival FSU was decimated in the press for starting the year against two 1-AA teams (even though one game was a last minute scheduling adjustment after West Virginia pulled out). But UF just hosted University of Louisiana-Lafayette and now hosts Jacksonville State. The Gators also hosted Bowling Green in their opener. Perhaps since it is mid/late season, no one cares, but the effect is still the same. In any case, this is merely a warm-up game before UF travels to Tallahassee to face FSU in the final regular season game of the year.
The Florida Gators play Division I college football for the University of Florida. The Gators play in the Eastern Division of the Southeastern Conference. The 2011 season will be Will Muschamp's first as head coach of the Gators. Florida plays its home games at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville, FL.

"This is a long-term battle that everyone's going to watch. Other teachers unions in the United States are wondering if they should follow suit." - Eric Hanuskek, a senior fellow in education at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University , after Chicago teachers walked out of the classroom Monday, taking a bitter contract dispute over evaluations and job security.
Do Strikes Work? Expert Says Seldom, But WNY Scorecard is Mixed.... Art Wheaton, a labor education expert in the Buffalo extension office of Cornell's NYS Labor Relations School says while striking workers often feel a walkout is their only option, they seldom win by striking. "I think it's always bad for any union to go on strike unless you are absolutely desperate. You can't predict what will happen, " he says. Locally, in the past year, CWA workers at Verizon and Teamsters at Sorrento Cheese's South Buffalo plant both struck.
In the Verizon case, they came back without a contract and still need to get one months later. At Sorrento however, workers preserved health benefits and jobs in a short July strike.
"We've seen mixed results for what happens when people attempt to go out on strike. Usually who wins is the competition," Wheaton says. |
The unions are taking a major stand on teacher evaluations, one of the key issues in the Chicago dispute. If they lose there, it could have ripple effects around the country.
Exclusive WBEN Audio
On The WBEN Liveline
WGN Reporter Brandon Campbell in Chicago
and after briefly discussing 9/11
Dave Levinthal, Politico.com
Members of the Chicago Teachers Union — the AFT's oldest local — walked off the job Monday for the first time in 25 years over issues that include pay raises, classroom conditions, job security and teacher evaluations.
They are pitted against Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, a powerful Democrat — and former chief of staff to President Barack Obama — who wants to extract more concessions from teachers while the school district faces a nearly $700 million deficit.
Major teacher strikes have been rare in recent years, compared with the 1960s and 1970s, when teachers went on strike frequently for better pay and improved bargaining rights. While unions generally got what they wanted in the past, they face a tougher climate today.
Issues in the Chicago teacher strike; health benefits, teacher evaluations, job security sound strikingly similar to ones raised with far less urgency in Buffalo in recent years and even weeks.
"It's terrible. It's Terrible. But sometimes you have no choice," Rumore says adding that no one wins in a strike " It's the last resort but sometimes when your back is against the wall, you have no choice." |
With the weak economy, unions have seen massive teacher layoffs, increased class sizes and school districts unable or unwilling to boost teacher salaries. Like other public employee unions, they are also under attack from Republican governors like Scott Walker of Wisconsin, who signed a measure last year to curb collective bargaining rights and limit benefits for state workers.
The 2.2-million member NEA has lost more than 100,000 members since 2010, as fewer public school teachers are hired and more charter schools open, most of which are not unionized. At the 1.5 million-member AFT, years of steady growth have leveled off.
''They certainly are on the defensive,'' said Richard Ingersoll, a professor of education and sociology at the University of Pennsylvania. ''They are under attack. A lot of times they are demonized. On the other hand there's really smart and progressive elements in the teacher's movement who want to get out ahead of this and do it in a way that's fair.''
In the past, teachers unions could count on a Democratic White House to fight back on their behalf. But Obama's education secretary, Arne Duncan, is a former head of Chicago Public Schools who has pushed for many of the changes that unions oppose.
''In many ways the Obama administration has signed onto the very conservative set of reforms that the education community is imposing on teachers,'' said Richard Kahlenberg of the Century Foundation, a nonpartisan think tank in Washington.
Both the NEA and the AFT have strongly endorsed Obama's re-election despite his administration's support of policies to expand charter schools, weaken tenure and base teacher evaluations on how much student performance improves.
The Chicago union argues that the new teacher evaluation system relies too heavily on standardized test scores without considering outside factors such as student poverty, violence and homelessness that can affect performance.
Hess said the Chicago strike has become an important test case after unions lost their effort to recall Wisconsin's governor.
''If it looks like the union folds, especially on the heels of Wisconsin, it's a huge blow for the unions,'' Hess said. ''If the union seems to win, that's going to be a blow to reform-minded mayors and puts some wind into the sails of unions.''
There are major differences, though, between the cases in Wisconsin and Chicago.
While Walker effectively challenged public employee unions' collective bargaining rights, both sides in Chicago have been negotiating over traditional labor-management issues. The district proposed a 16 percent raise over four years and the two sides have essentially agreed on a longer school day. But job security and a new teacher evaluation system remained in dispute.
''This is a long-term battle that everyone's going to watch,'' said Eric Hanuskek, a senior fellow in education at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University. ''Other teachers unions in the United States are wondering if they should follow suit.''
Teacher unions also are growing nervous about how they are portrayed in an upcoming Hollywood movie called ''Won't Back Down,'' set to open in theaters on Sept. 28. The film tells the story of a mother's quest to take control of her daughter's failing elementary school.
AFT President Randi Weingarten has blasted the movie as ''using the most blatant stereotypes and caricatures I have ever seen'' and unfairly blaming unions for the nation's school woes. Union leaders were even more outraged that the movie was screened at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., and that Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa — the convention chairman — attended the screening.
Villaraigosa is a former union organizer who has spoken out in favor of greater accountability for schools and teachers.

Take a break from Rome's big-city bustle to discover the fascinating history of Pompeii and Mt. Vesuvius on this full-day guided tour from Rome. Perfect if your time in Italy is limited, this is the only day tour from Rome that visits both Pompeii and Vesuvius on the same day. Numbers are limited to a maximum of 25 people when exploring Pompeii and Vesuvius, ensuring you'll receive personalized attention from your knowledgeable guide.
- Comprehensive tour of the city
- Soak up the atmosphere on a walking tour
- Step back in time on a history tour
- Perfect introduction for first-time visitors
- Pickup from a centrally located meeting point
After your transfer from Rome by air-conditioned coach, your tour into Rome's ancient history begins high above the city and Bay of Naples, on the crater of Mt. Vesuvius. Europe's only active volcano, Vesuvius is infamous for causing the destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum in 79AD and has erupted many times since – today it's regarded as one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world.
Lava flows have scarred the sides of Mt. Vesuvius, and are visible on the winding road up to the summit. Hiking the active volcano is the only way to truly experience the magic of Mt. Vesuvius. The 20-minute upward hike to the crater takes you through soft volcanic ash and pumice, and the views from the top are worth the effort! Alternatively, you can stay on the ridge of the volcano and admire the views. After your adventurous morning, it's time to take a break and enjoy a leisurely lunch (included). Relax as you experience the world-famous pizza Naples is so well known for.
Next stop is Pompeii, sitting in the ominous shadow of Vesuvius. During your personalized tour of Pompeii's remarkably well preserved ruins, you'll discover why this UNESCO World Heritage Site continues to shock and fascinate over 2.6 million people who venture here each year.
The now ruined city of Pompeii was once a sprawling metropolis of shops and residences, restaurants, gyms and brothels. You can walk Pompeii's main streets just as the ancient Romans did – the stones are still worn with tracks from the drawn carriages that used them nearly 2,000 years ago. You'll also visit the forum, the center of Pompeii's political and social life, and view the startling plaster death casts of the victims of the catastrophic eruption that destroyed the city of Pompeii.
Traveling between November and December? Mount Vesuvius is inaccessible, so you will visit the National Archeological Museum of Pompeii instead.

Two struck an open area south of Jerusalem, with Hamas militants confirming they had fired rockets toward that city.
Alarms went off, too, in Tel Aviv, prompting people to scurry off beaches and into safe locales, witnesses said.
From a seaside restaurant, Elian Karen said the rocket went into the ocean about 10 to 15 meters deep, caused water to rise briefly before black smoke began rising from the water. Within 10 minutes, people were back on the beach -- sitting, eating, playing and seemingly determined not to let the conflict disrupt their lives.
"Everyone is on the beach right now, very normal (and) no stress," Karen said Friday. "We want to have a normal life and enjoy life."
Rejecting the idea of a temporary cease-fire Israel had requested because of the Egyptian prime minister's Gaza visit, the militant group al-Qassam -- the military arm of Hamas -- reported on its Twitter feed that it had fired a Grad missile Friday on the southern Israeli city of Beer Sheva.
In Ashkelon, about 17 kilometers (10 miles) north of Gaza, local officials said rocket strikes had increased dramatically in recent days. Such attacks are nothing new for residents accustomed to hunkering down in bunker rooms, but the emptiness of the town's marina and streets suggested the uptick had left people on edge.
"It is really frightening," Shiraz Wieselhof said. "I cannot sleep at night."
This violent back-and-forth comes after the Israeli military's start Wednesday of an operation it calls Pillar of Defense, which it launched to target those behind the high number of rockets fired at Israel over the past year.
Israeli authorities said the military campaign has hit more than 600 targets for what it calls terror activity and stifled rocket launches out of Gaza, a claim denied by al-Qassam.
Photos from Friday showed fiery rubble of where Hamas' Interior Ministry building once stood.

Best spot for wind turbines
My fourth-grade class is studying about wind turbines. When I saw a picture on the computer of wind turbines on the mountains, I said, They dont look good up there! Then I said to my teacher, They should be on farms. She showed me John Sales letter to the editor in the Jan. 2 Times Argus. John Sales agreed with what I think.
I think turbines should be on farms, not near animals, but in cornfields or hayfields. John Sales wrote in The Times Argus, In a farmers field a turbine might displace a cow or one row of corn equivalent, but not much more. If we put turbines on mountains we are going to have to displace a lot of trees and lose air. If Vermont were to put more turbines in, I think they should be on Champlain Valley cornfields or hayfields. The Champlain Valley winds are as high as on the mountains, according to John Sales.
In my opinion, if Vermont were to keep on building turbines they should be on the Champlain Valley farms because there is about the same amount of winds and we dont have to cut down trees.

2012 TRACKER® Bass & Panfish Mod V Boats
Whether you're on the prowl for panfish or competing in a bass tournament, a TRACKER® Mod V boat provides the features and spacious casting decks you need to get the job done right. The Mod V hull design features a one-piece hull with a modified V shape up front that transitions to a flatter V at the rear. This design plus a lower profile in the water provide a near-perfect mix of handling and stability.
The legendary Revolution Hull™ comes standard on all our Pro Team™ boat models. Designed for serious anglers who know performance, the aggressive V profile of the bow gives you the smoothest, fastest ride to your favorite fishing spot. No one beats the handling or ride. It's so smooth, it's backed by our Smooth Ride Guarantee™.
The tough, all-welded hull construction results in a unitized structure that's rock solid from the start. Unlike riveted boats, or welded boats of lesser quality, every TRACKER® all-welded hull is backed by our DuraTrack™ Limited Lifetime Warranty.
Check out the different models and you'll find every TRACKER® fishing boat is a full-featured boat with unmatched value and quality built right in. Comfort items and details like the custom-matched boat trailer make any day fishing better than any day on land.

May is Melanoma Awareness Month! Check out more information in this thread : http://www.etiquettehell.com/smf/index.php?topic=77387

I think I need the intensive manners course.I'm so clueless.
If you could see or learn how to act in certain situations, what would those situations be? How to respond to a rude question? Proper introductions?
I have trouble in finding the words when something unexpected happens like for example if someone says something totally rude or mean spirited, I tend to go home and think of something I should have said. I dont think well right on the spot like that...I get overwhelmed, I think because I am sensitive and part of me can't believe the other person would say/do such a thing and it's very hurtful, so I may freeze up, stammer something out, and then later at home I go 'ohhh...that's what I should have said'.

Series: Harmonizing Science, Ethics, and Praxis
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.

Series: What I Wish My Pastor Knew About... The Life of a Scientist
Andy Crouch examines the life of a scientist based on his experience of walking alongside his wife Catherine, an experimental physicist. That relationship has shown him that a life in science is a journey "into a set of virtues," of cultivating a specific character suited to the particular demands of research and investigation. Crouch's hope is to persuade pastors and others in the church to prayerfully support the scientific endeavor as a reflection of God's image in humankind as well as offers some suggestions for ministering to their needs.
Does Evolution Compromise Human Morality?
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
Awe in Science
If we can understand the experiences of the people who work every day in the lab, our dialogues concerning science and religion will be far more fruitful.
Series: To Serve and Preserve—Genesis 2 and the Human Calling
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
Katharine Hayhoe: Evangelical Christian, Climate Scientist
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.
Can Science Ever Know Enough?
To say something is poetic is not to declare it ultimately untrue, futile and meaningless—it is to say it is more profound and meaningful and true than many other modes of expression.
Science and Faith on a Secular Campus
While many Christian colleges actively seek to help their students engage issues of faith and science constructively, few secular colleges are active in promoting the conversation. As a professor at a secular school, how can I encourage my students to authentic engagement and dialogue on science and faith issues?
Series: Asa Gray and Charles Darwin Discuss Evolution and Design
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
David Lack and Darwin's Finches
Considering the immense popularity of "Darwin's finches", it is quite surprising to learn that Charles Darwin himself had very little to say about them. In fact, it was actually David Lack, one century later, who conducted the critical research that immortalized the finches in biology textbooks and popular lore.
The Beauty of Being a Scientist and a Christian
I am a Christian. I believe that God is the ultimate reality and that the world, including me, was created by God. But this is not just an idle affirmation, a faith statement to be recited in church on Sunday.
What is Scientism?
Scientism is a rather strange word, but for reasons that we shall see, a useful one. Though this term has been coined rather recently, it is associated with many other "isms" with long and turbulent histories: materialism, naturalism, reductionism, empiricism, and positivism.
Series: Scripture and the Authority of God
N.T. Wright explores the context and manner in which Scripture is authoritative. He does so by questioning the meaning of an authoritative book as well as the application of such authority. Wright encourages us to flee from the controlling "list" mentalities that belittle the richness of God's Word, and rather to understand it as a narrative inspired by God and recorded by ancient persons. Ultimately, God "organizes" his people through his Son Jesus and by the Holy Spirit, and not through extracted rules from the Bible.
A Lively God
In today's video, Rev. Lincoln Harvey discusses our desire to "domesticate" the liveliness and abundance of God. Harvey notes that the Trinity highlights both the manyness and oneness of God, which can be hard to Christians to fully understand.
Science or sola Scriptura?
So, for Driscoll, the choice is a simple dichotomy: Scripture or science. Scripture is the highest court of authority in all matters, and the role of believing scientists is to affirm Scripture. To fail to do so is to "exchange the truths of Scripture for the truths of science".
Dead Bones with a Living Message
In this video, Pääbo covers a lot of ground, noting several lines of genetic evidence for the evolution of modern humans from earlier hominids in Africa, as well as for the interbreeding between early humans and Neanderthals.
The Source of Human Value
In this video, physicist Ard Louis describes that our value and purpose do not come from whether or not we were created by an evolutionary mechanism. Evolution may tell us something about how we were created, but it is not the source of our worth.
The Truthfulness of Scripture: Inerrancy, Part 1
Against the repeated claim that the doctrine of inerrancy arose first with Protestant orthodoxy, we could cite numerous examples from the ancient and medieval church. It was Augustine who first coined the term "inerrant," and Luther and Calvin can speak of Scripture as free from error.
Series: From ID to BioLogos
In this series, Dennis Venema describes his personal journey that took him away from the Intelligent Design arguments toward the evolutionary creation worldview. Through careful and honest research, he discovered ID scientific reasoning to be analogy-based, in sharp contrast to evolutionary science, which was supported by concrete data. After accepting this view, God's presence ever strengthened him as he explored the compatibility between the Bible and God's creative mechanism.
B.B. Warfield, Biblical Inerrancy, and Evolution
During the late 19th century when critical views of Scripture came to prevail in American universities, Warfield was responsible for refurbishing the conviction that the Bible communicates revelation from God entirely without error. Yet while he defended biblical inerrancy, Warfield was also a cautious, discriminating, but entirely candid proponent of the possibility of evolution.

JANUARY 19. 1022 NUMBER 18 niEY^VE RUN IT OP^TEN, WOW! Local Basiceters Have Won Throe Games Hinre Lust Report, MakinK Ten Straight Wins CAN THEY BEAT LOUISVILLE? Friday night the high school trlm- luisium was the scene of some of the beat basketball playing ever uncork¬ ed by a Flora team when Lawrence¬ vllle went to tbe wall and Flora won their eighth straight start by a score of 37 to 15. Lawmceville, without que.stion has a fine team, but Flora was Just as much a better team on Friday night as the score tadlcates, teamwork, passing and basket shoot¬ ing was far and away ahead of that put out by the lanky boytfrom Law- renc^town and the orange and blue outfit had things abovi. their own wav. The first three baskets Flora regis¬ tered were rung up In one-two-three 'order, all three of them being made in a minute's playing. FVom that time on Lawrenecville waa never In any proximinily to being the winner. Flora was weakened somewhat by Simmons' suffering froni a severe cold, the gritty little guard started the game in spite of his having to whoop 'er up about every ten sec¬ onds, and stayed in until the first three quarters were over, giving way to Frank Smith who played himself a nice game for the quarter. The work of all tbe boys In this game was beyond criticism, every one of them playing a tip top game. Carmi Furnishes Ninth 8tnil|{ht Win On Saturday night Carmi's basket ball squad showed here and were beaten In the worst played game of the season, by a score of 17 to 11. The Flora, team was off "way off. and It was a wonder that they gal¬ loped home ahead of the hounds. At that, it was more ot a jog than it was a gallop, for the usually peppy five had Just about as much pep as the most ancient inhabitant of the Old Peoples' Home. Several times in the course of the game the locals were bunched up on the floor, like they were contestants in a walking debater's team, while a Carmi man •would grab tbe ball, work it down tbe floor and miss the basket by a margin smaller than the proverbial frog's hair. Our lads cannot be taken to task for their failure to run up a big score on Carml, the fact that they won should he consolation enough for us. after haying walloped Lawrencevllle *«o handily the night before. Sim¬ mons was III, Venable was worse and Knight was feeling wobbly, too. Carml has a fast team, play good team work and carries in the per¬ sonnel a player about the size of 'Bye Baby Bunting, but who plays a game like Jack, the Giant Killer's •victim could have played had there been basket ball teams In those days of skyscraper beans stalks. The Carmi boys played a clean game and will,be welome here next year should tbey be scheduled. Xenia Team Tenth Victims On Tuesday night Coach Fogler, In company with Knight, Bestow, Golds¬ by, Pittman, McDonald and Simmons, went to Xenia for the return game with X. H. S., whom they had defeat¬ ed in the first game of the season 26 to 1. Illness preyented the tak¬ ing of the entire first team, but It wasn't necessary as those who mar'p the trip were more than enotigli to bring home the. bacon, 36 to 12. The game started with Simmons on the side lines and McDonald play¬ ing his position.Ed showed a tenden¬ cy to freeze onto the ball like whis-.| kers on a chin, so Pogler gave him the hooks early In the game and'Slm- mons took his plaqe In the team. The first quarter ended with Xenia tn the lead 4 to 2. Flora done a little better In tbe second frame and the half end¬ ed 10 to 7. Flora got started In good shape in the third trame and Knight went to the bench while Mc¬ Donald was given another chance in the game. The final score was 36 to 12 in favor of Flora. Lonlsvllle Oame to be • Hard One On Friday night Flora will go to Louisville for a game with the speed¬ ing county seat five. Louisville's team must not be underrated, tor f few weeks ago Olney won from them at Olney by a margin of only one point and would not have done that it Lonlsvllle bad shot any fouls. All the Louisville scouts who have seen the Flora five in action report that they will give us a fine walloping on Friday ntght. With the regular Flora line up in the field we would have little to fear from Lonlsvllle; but with Simmons' cold and Blotter's and Venable's Ill¬ ness on hands Flora's offensive game Is seriously impaired. However Flora will play her best and will try to run the string ot victories to eleven. Let's pull one of them there "VenI, VII, Vici" things at Loutsville. CITY NIGHT "WATCHMAN Last week Ed Adduddell, who has been living at E^ast St. Louts, came to Flora and secured about 40 sig¬ natures of business men to a sub- scrlption list, agreeing to pay him so mnch monthly as salary to act as night watchman, and he has entered upon his new duties.

Tell me what you see on "TV!" This clever electronic learning game employs kids' love of clickers to build sharper observation skills and support early learning. How it works: kids study the Arthur™ themed scenes on the talking, toy TV screen, then answer questions by clicking the remote. Who's playing the drum? Who's wearing a yellow scarf? Teaches colors, quantities, locations in space, and more, while helping kids learn to focus and observe. Includes nine scenes, printed on interchangeable, reversible cards. Includes 120 questions and also plays music. Batteries included. For ages 2 and up. See Product Details

Look at that its just like the one we had in the kitchenette rented flat we had in London back in the 70s...It was horrible....rusty...paint peeling off really weary looking but yours looks like its twin but in super super condition. Very nice...I like the shade of green on your other cabinet too.

Wow! That was a lot of work to restore it to this pristine condition. You did a fantastic job on it!

Hi Jessie,
Your cabinet is so cheerful and I love all the Pyrex inside! - 29 May, 2012
I grew up using the same kind of Pyrex bowls. All of my mother's bowls burned in a house fire so about 10 yrs ago I purchased replacements on eBay. I absolutely love them. I can only make homemade banana pudding using them, it makes me feel closer to my mother. She passed away 26 yrs ago & each time I use them, I think of her.

I love the green shelving it looks so sweet beside the ditsy flower wallpaper. I'm pretty sure I have some fabric just like it :o)
The kitchenette is great, we used to own a green one and store our food in it. Rather silly one day when emptying shopping bags and put all the goodies on the pull down, the cupboard tipped, only the quick movement of Mr B stopped me being crushed under it. Totallt m own fault! They're great and the pastry slab keeps lovely and cool.
Only just came upon your blog and love it so am now a follower and subscriber.:o)

How can I obtain a "no show" letter for my insurers from Ryanair? |
Most insurance companies require a passenger to provide proof from an airline that they did not travel before the claim can be assessed. Ryanair will provide "No-Show" letters to passengers who did not travel on their booked flights. To offset the substantial admin costs associated with processing "No-Show" letters, we charge an administration fee of £8.50/€10.00. To obtain a "No-Show" letter you will need to contact the local Ryanair call centre to pay the administration fee. |
