For immediate release: Tuesday, June 24, 2014
Statement by Barbara Dorris of St. Louis, Outreach Director of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (314 503 0003, firstname.lastname@example.com)
The pope continues to distance himself from the scandal-ridden Legion of Christ. And he's appointing a new adviser to the troubled order. We applaud this course of action.
It's smart public relations for Francis to stay away from the Legion. We share his apparent view that much reform is still needed in the Legion.
In any institution, reform must be preceded by exposing and sacking those who committed or concealed child sex crimes. The Legion hasn't done this.
When it comes to clergy sex crimes and cover ups, the Legion continues to be perhaps the single most secretive Catholic group in the world. When they post on their websites the names, photos, whereabouts and work histories of every current and former Legion who hurt kids - directly by assault or indirectly by complicity - then they may have the right to claim they've begun to attack their corruption.
(SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, is the world's oldest and largest support group for clergy abuse victims. We've been around for 25 years and have more than 20,000 members. Despite the word "priest" in our title, we have members who were molested by religious figures of all denominations, including nuns, rabbis, bishops, and Protestant ministers. Our website is SNAPnetwork.org)

I should be getting back to the chem lab, but I'm going to pull up a chair and watch you make some slides here for a while, okay?
Lab Partner 1: Seriously, what is that girl over there doing? She won't stop talking and she's messed up their samples like 6 times. Good thing she's not in our group.
Me: Is this what you guys say about me when I walk away?
Lab Partner 2: Nah, we don't have anything bad to say. Only good things.
Chemistry pick-up lines
Can I be the phasor to your electron and take you to an excited state?
Hey baby, will a little more alcohol catalyze this reaction?
Don't know if this counts as a pick up line, but I found it amusing.
I sprained my IT band in my right leg recently and had to wear a huge knee brace and rest my leg for five weeks while the muscle healed. Consequently, my outdoor environmental labs were kind of difficult for a while.
Toward the end of one such lab, I am clearly limping more and more heavily, and the guy who inspired this blog (see first post if you don't remember) offers to carry me the rest of the way up the trail.
You're like a proton and I'm an electron. I'm attracted to you very strongly and there's nothing I can do to fight that.
The best part was that he was being so dead serious while saying it. I pretty much melted into his arms at that point.

Remember the Ford Evos Concept vehicle we introduced to you last week (Ford Evos Concept: What Future Ford Vehicles Might Look Like)? Well, we want to show you that beauty is more than skin deep on this concept vehicle by giving you a deep-dive into the technology built into this concept.
The technology in the Ford Evos Concept reflects a new generation of driver interaction and awareness under development in the Ford Research and Innovation laboratories. Seamless connectivity between the vehicle and the driver's "personal cloud" of information is at the heart of its capabilities.
The following videos demonstrate how Ford researchers are focusing efforts on delivering four key customer benefits: personalization, enhancement of the driving experience, looking after the driver's well-being and smart electrified powertrain optimization.
These first two videos provide a look at what the cloud is and how the Ford Evos Concept uses that information to personalized your driving experience to match your lifestyle.
Are you spending more time in your car? If so, this videos shows ways that the Ford Evos Concept may be able to look after your health and wellness as you drive, responding to you without you asking it do anything.
Finally, the Ford Evos Concept can learn about your driving style and preferences, as well as using the cloud to gather data specific to you and your environment. The result is adaptive driving to provide an enhanced driver experience, custom-made for you.
The Ford Evos Concept is one of the Ford vehicle that will be on display starting next week at the 64th International Motor Show, held September 15-25, 2011 in Frankfurt. Come back to theFordStory.com for the latest updates from the show.

How the U.S. Food Safety Modernization Act Could Impact International Regulatory Practices
Modernize an outdated U.S. food safety system, improve the government's ability to decrease food-borne illnesses, and strengthen the authority of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to govern across the supply chain for both food and pet food. This is a significant statutory change in the food safety law with new FDA food safety that authorities have not seen since the passage of the Food Drug and Cosmetic Act in 1938. This Act is a major shift for the FDA from a reactive to preventive focus; it provides the FDA new authorities and responsibilities while also requiring industry to address new responsibilities.
Companies in the food chain, from "farm to table", should respond to these new FSMA regulations — some already enacted and some that may be introduced over the next few
years — to improve their overall food safety programs. Impacted stakeholders include:
- Growers/ producers
- Ingredient suppliers
- Processors/ packers
- Distributors
- Warehouses
Broad themes that apply across the value chain to support an enhanced food safety program include:
- Mandatory written food safety plan with hazard analysis and preventive controls
- Record keeping and records access
- Facility registration, inspection and compliance
- Effective response mechanisms for risks and recalls
- Supplier verification programs, quality of imports / third-party certification
- Food defense plans
The vast majority of the food supply chain — including U.S. trading partners — are uncertain about what in the new regulations for addressing preventative controls, performance standards, traceability requirements and user fees may require. Such definition may not be available until final regulations are published.
- What impact will US food safety policy as a result of FSMA have on international trading partner's food safety regulations and/or policies?
- What will be the impact on supply chain logistics and in the global marketplace?
- Define what Congress will do to support the implementation of FSMA in 2013 and beyond. Will FSMA be fully funded?
- What will be the impact of FSMA on developing markets?
- What is the impact of FSMA on small business owners and the work USAID supports in developing nations?
This paper provides stakeholders significant insight as to how they might approach FSMA in consideration of the how U.S. trading partners' regulatory agencies are dealing with food safety in light of new legislation.

Har Mar Superstar's new album is out now and it is FUCKING GREAT. I cannot recommend an album more. Holy Toledo!
(I just used the expression "Holy Toledo" so that should give you an idea of how serious I am about this.)
Get it!
Better than the new Daft Punk!
I listened to this guys podcast and had no idea he was actually a good musician. Huh. Based on his name I'd assumed he...
Food song
I haven't listened to the whole album, but the "Lady, You Shot Me" is one of my favorite songs of the year.
I have been listening to this NONSTOP. Obsessed.

New Mormon Message - "You Never Know"
One day
The love of my life will be coming home in one whole day… The moment I've been waiting for, for what feels like forever is finally here and I wish it wasn't.
How does one go see the love of their love knowing that it's not meant to be? My heart aches, the tears come every night..
I had envisioned the rest of my life with my best friend just to have that taken away .. How does one just 'get over that' and 'move on'
You left 2 years ago and you loved me, only to come home to be 'friends'
I don't know how to just be your friend. When you're all I ever wanted and dreamed about.
It hurts. I miss you and I'm looking forward to seeing after so long, just so I can say goodbye and watch you walk out of my life.
You were supposed to be my happily ever after, not just my once upon a time…
It seems Heavenly Father has other plans for us both. There are no more words to express this loss, the hurt.. And endless tears on my pillow..
Time, they say heals all.. I hope that it will come soon .. But it will happen, one day.
Yeah.. I need a life 🎹 #pianotiles #ninjafingers
Kareoke with my loves 🎤🎂 #aintnopartylikeakareokeparty #happybirthdaymama #ohana
Some blessings come soon, some come late… But for those who embrace the Gospel of Jesus Christ, they come. - Jeffrey R Holland

He is coming home in sixty days.
So much has happened in the past thirty days.. It's crazy to think how much more will happen or change in the next two months.
I'm more excited to see him now though.
My best friend is coming home really soon!!

This is your last chance, my friend
Roll the windows down and… take me in
Reach out!
Say what you're really about.
Are you coming here or not? Are you coming out?
Might paint something I might wanna hang here someday
Might write something I might wanna say to you someday
Might do something I'll be proud of someday
Mark my words, I might be something, someday.
Society. Society and its gender roles. What bull! So I'm a girl- that means I have to have long hair and wear girls' clothing in order for others to identify- no, label- me by saying "oh, she's a girl." Observation one, complete. So now what? Why does it matter? Does a person's gender REALLY make them who they are? I don't think so.
When I was extremely small, maybe two or three years old, I always told my parents (and anybody else who'd listen) that I wished I was a boy. I hated dresses and the color pink, and loved video games and hot wheels cars. We'd pull up to the McDonald's drive-thru window and I would call out "make sure you get a boy toy!" I was a huge tomboy, and therefore didn't have many other girl friends; they thought I was odd. Then I went to middle school and tried my hardest to conform, just because I wanted friends. I wanted to be normal, to be treated like everyone else. Just because I don't like the same things most girls do, I'm still a girl, dammit! Today, I have a very short haircut, and when I wear baggy clothes, I can easily pass for a young boy. My dad told me he doesn't approve, but why? Why does it matter? No matter what my interests are or what I look like, I'm still me- a 19 year-old GIRL.
If I ever have a child, he/she will NEVER feel pressured or forced to identify with one gender stereotype. Not that there's anything wrong with that- to all you girls who are naturally girly and to all you guys who are just like, "bro," that's awesome for you. Really, it must be nice! But there must be plenty more people out there like me… so this is for you guys! You're not alone, and I really hope that I'm not, either.
And I mean every time. :)
For realll, girlll. or calls or messages or comments on my facebook or anythingggg <3

FIRST LOOK ON SET: Terrence J JOINS The Cast Of "Baggage Claim" + Zoe Saldana DRESSED As "Nina Simone"
E! News anchor Terrence J has joined the cast of the film Baggage Claim. See him on the set with castmates inside and pics of Zoe Saldana as Nina Simone.....
Actor and tv personality Terrence J has signed on to star in David E. Talbert's Baggage Claim with Paula Patton, Derek Luke, and Lauren London. He tweeted,
"I just signed on for a new movie...." and "Super excited to join Paula Patton and the rest of the amazing cast of Baggage Claim!!! #Godisgood"
Terrence J joins a long list of Black Hollywood talent in the film which also includes Jill Scott and Djimon Hounsou. Terrence will play the fiance of Paula Patton's sister.
In other movie news.....
Actress Zoe Saldana was spotted on the set of Nina in LA yesterday.
Zoe's skin has been darkened/bronzed to give her a richer skin tone for the flick which will focus on Nina's rise to fame and relationship with her manager Clifton Henderson.
Because Zoe doesn't resemble Nina in the least bit, her acting chops will really have to surpass the negative press she's received for her casting.

Ah Ha! Good man John.
It's great to finally see the great man himself & be able to check out his Banjos.
I have of course added the link above & also onto our list of makers on the Home Page.
There is a website from Dave Boyle now:
he wants to make a few more by the looks of it . he told me there will be a website up shortly
Thanks for that info. Billy, it's good to know!
Dave hasn't stopped, but according to my conversations with him when I was checking out availability, he's changed the way he he's producing them. He's making a batch then flogging them rather than taking orders. He's retired and I get the impression that he basically wants some time to spend on his other interests. So give him a call to find out what and when he's producing.

Recipe: Warm and Gooey Deep Dish Chocolate Chip Cookies
Recipes from The Kitchn
Fun fact: I got married at a BJ's Restaurant. During a six-month period when I lived in a Southern California suburb surrounded by giant, generic chain restaurants like Applebee's and Outback Steakhouse, my future husband and I developed an unexpected affection for the doughy deep-dish pizzas and hot-pink strawberry lemonades at the local BJ's. Not to mention the Pizookie, a cookie baked in a small cake pan, served hot and gooey with ice cream scooped on top. The Pizookie had a lot to do with it, come to think of it.

Madeleines. That little French butter cake that most (non-French) people think of more as a cookie. They have a classy, literary reputation, having served as Proust's muse in his famous Remembrance of Things Past. Like most muses, however, madeleines appear to be simple but actually require a fair amount of patience and careful following of instructions. In the end, though, you are rewarded with a truly unique little cake, browned and crispy on the outside and spongy and soft on the inside. A perfect accompaniment to your afternoon cup of tea.

On The Other Hand – Elmar den Exter's 1986 BMW E28 520iMike Burroughs
After a tour through Italy in an E28, a stock, red one no less, I found my inner "old man" starting to show. For the first time in my life, I've had the passing though of "now I can understand how these old men prefer their cars stock. It doesn't need to be changed." Luckily, it's a fleeting thought, and I am constantly reminded that there is something truly special about modified cars and their inherent sense of self-expression.
For many of us, cars are as much a part of who we are as the blood that flows through our veins. Over time, that love for cars often culminates with the affinity for one car in particular: our favorite car. Our favorites often fall into one of two categories – classics, or machines built to push the limits of automotive engineering. Sometimes it's both, and on occasion, it's neither.

Dont Miss: The 2009 StanceWorks Cross-Country Road Trip – Part I
We were three days into our all-but-agonizing road trip. Rife with troubles and issues, Andrew Sylvia and I had our fingers crossed that from Odessa, Texas, on, we'd have smooth sailing. Our sights were set on Tucson, AZ, to visit Nic and Steph Foster, our first true "stop" of the trip. With 8 hours of driving ahead of us, and wanting to make an early arrival, we were up and on the road at 4:00am.
The 2009 StanceWorks Cross-Country Road Trip – Part IMike Burroughs
In 2009, Andrew Sylvia and I set out on a cross-country road trip to end the summer with a grand finale: 7,000 miles of driving spent with friends, car lovers, and family throughout the USA. With Rusty, the now-famous E28 as our chariot, we had planned on a trip that would "redefine epic," as we put it. We were on a quest to create a journey for everyone that wanted to follow our progress, and more importantly, we were on a journey to make life-long friends along the way.
Timeless – Christopher Björåsen's 1987 Hartge 535iJeremy Whittle
Photography by Johan Holmquist
Our tastes change dramatically as we make our way through life. Things we thought were silly as a kid begin to appeal to us, living with financial responsibility starts to gain importance, and a good night's sleep becomes a necessity rather than a rarity.

Courage For the World Teaches Food Sustainability
Eating healthy foods from growers and ranchers using sustainable practices may seem like a daunting task but an organization called "Courage for the World" is making it easier. Using established networks, they are teaching people about food sources, the economic advantages to shoppers for buying locally even though it may cost slightly more, and the severe economic and environmental damage caused by multi-national corporate food factories and laboratories. Their message shows us how to go into a grocery store or farmers market and make informed decisions. These are lessons for everyone who eats food, drinks water, or wants a prosperous long-term economy for all people.

Guideline for AMS Oversight of Commodity Research and Promotion Programs
Conflicts of Interest in Research and Promotion Programs As a general matter of policy, the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) guidelines for oversight of all checkoff programs expressly require contracting procedures that "avoid any conflict of interest or a situation that could reasonably be perceived by a third party as a conflict of interest."1 The Beef Order includes provisions that reflect these principles, as well.

To my bitter disappointment, the many efforts at reform of the cattle markets over the past 16 years have been frustrated by meatpackers and their minions. Chief minion has been the National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA). This organization is believed by many to be on the side of beef cattle producers. However, it has opposed every major market reform initiative; most notably the ban on packer ownership of cattle, Country…Read more...

Watch The World's End: 20 years after attempting an epic pub crawl, five childhood friends reunite when one of them becomes hell bent on trying the drinking marathon again. They are convinced to stage an encore by mate Gary King, a 40-year old man trapped at the cigarette end of his teens, who drags his reluctant pals to their home town and once again attempts to reach the fabled pub, The World's End. As they attempt to reconcile the past and present, they realize the real struggle is for the future, not just theirs but humankind's. Reaching The World's End is the least of their worries.

Leading Breeders by Earnings for Ten Consecutive Seasons
Leading Breeders by Earnings for Ten Consecutive Seasons
The Johannesburg Ready To Run festivities kick off at Sandton's Inanda Club at lunch time today with the sale commencing at 4:30pm. Here is a summary of the public voting (Top 5 Colts and Fillies) as at 31 October 2014.
Come the first Saturday in November, they'll be running for near enough R50,000 a second when the gates slam open. That makes it the richest 85 seconds in African sport, and even the best of us couldn't sniff at that.
The Summerhill Team looks forward to welcoming you to the Johannesburg Ready To Run Sale Friday at the Inanda Club, Sandton. Lunch at 13h00 with the sale commencing 16h30!
The Breeders' Cup announced Wednesday that for the first time ever it will be integrating a live social media stream in its real-time video coverage during the 2014 World Championships.
Here are Tarryn Liebenberg's selections for the 2014 Johannesburg Ready To Run Sale.
The 2013 Breeders' Cup World Championships took place on November 1 and 2 at Santa Anita Park in California. It was the event's 30th running.
You never want to have to write an obituary, but there's an old saying in the horse business that if you've got livestock, there's an inevitability to it. While covering a mare on Sunday, second-season sire Await The Dawn succumbed to a freak accident which cost him his life.
It's true, we all like to think our geese are swans, but it's a fact that at last week's gallops, the judges panel were pretty unanimous in their belief that this was as good a crop of Ready To Run horses as have ever left Summerhill; given the history, that's some statement.

To this day I still have warm memories of being in grade school and going with my mom to the local drug store to pick out a box of Valentine cards to write out to my fellow classmates. In class, we would each decorate our own tissue paper box with heart cut-outs and patterned paper, then set it out on our desks to wait for the "mail" to come. At the end of the day we would open our boxes up to go through the assortment of cards, little envelopes of cinnamon hearts, and foil wrapped chocolate that we had received. Now that I'm "all grown up", I still find V-day to be a great excuse for the over usage of red and pink and indulging in all sorts of heart-themed sweets! But who says that hearts and the colours of bold red and bright pink need to be put away right after February 14th? Here are some sweet ways of keeping up that little bit of love through out the rest of the year with your little one (Find all sources for images on my Nursery Pinterest board).
Heart headpiece!
Gap's heart ruffle one-piece swimsuit is really as cute in real life as it looks. I spotted this itty bitty cutie over the past weekend in a Gap Baby store, and even though we haven't been able to find out the sex of our baby yet (He/she wasn't in the ideal position during the last ultrasound), I was tempted to snatch this up!
Another easy nusery decorating idea that I am contemplating about after seeing it on fashion and lifestyle blog, The Doctor's Closet.
Stork Craft would like to send a warm "Welcome to the world" to little Grayson Quinn. Born at two and a half weeks early, this little bundle of joy is the son of Amanda Vrtis from Saving 4 Five, our Mom of the week back in December, and also PTPA reviewer of Stork Craft's Carrara 4 in 1 Crib, Aspen Combo and Tuscany Glider!
Now with a total of four children and a husband, Amanda definitely has her hands full! So how does she handle it all? We've followed up with her to see if she has any pointers for moms-to-be, and to give us a glimpse of how her family has gone through the transition of welcoming a new born into their home.
-New Arrival's Name: Grayson Quinn
-Age: 2 weeks
SC: Congrats on the birth of your little one! With three other children, most people would think that you would be a pro at the whole birthing process and all. But has this fourth delivery been any easier or more difficult?
Amanda: I think it's easy to assume I'm a pro at having babies, but something I try to remember is all deliveries are different! You can't always plan out what's going to happen. This delivery had a couple hick-ups. It wasn't at all what I thought it was going to be.
SC: Any pointers for mothers who are nervous about going into labour?
Amanda: My best advice to mothers who are nervous about giving birth is don't be afraid to ask questions, understand that anything can happen, and do what is best for YOU! You're the one having a baby, not your family or friends. Also stay away from Google! That is one sure fire way of scaring the heck outta yourself.
SC: For families that are thinking about giving a sibling to their child, any advice that you have for preparing the family for a new addition, whether in prepping your current child(ren) emotionally, or allocating resources like time, finances, etc.?
Amanda: Being that this is number 4 for us, it has gone different ways with each. This time around my Daughter at 19 months was the youngest to get a sibling. The others were a bit older. I noticed that at about 2 and older the children seemed to be excited for another baby, but my 19 month old not so much. I've just tried to understand where she is coming from. I praise her when she loves on the baby and try not to scold her too much when she is being jealous. She is coming around though- Giving more hugs and kisses now than getting mad and jealous.
SC: As a mother to four children now, how do you find time for yourself or your husband? Any tips for doing so?
Amanda: I don't find time for myself LOL. Well ok I do. I tell my husband that I'm going to take a bath. Going to the store for dinner is also my away time. My husband and I get our time together once all the kids are in bed. So having a set schedule is a must in this house. Even if it's just a couple of hours watching tv together, it's just us, and I love my quiet time.
SC: As soon as your new little one is/was ready to go out, where is/was the first place that you will take/have taken them to?
Amanda: Being that it is flu season the only time he has been out is his checkups. I think though once spring hits he may get an outing to the park. I know the older kids will love to get out and about! We also have a season pass to our local zoo. Maybe we will go there.
With just little over three months to go and a guest room that is acting as default storage room for all our "I'll figure it out later" items, I am starting to feel the pressure to clean things up for the nursery. At the same time, we are currently renting a place until we confirm where we would like to settle down, so I am hesitant to do any permanent fixures or even to repaint . Decorating for this baby's room will need to be kept simple.
Right now I am loving the idea of using On to Baby's latest free printable nursery art. Pick a theme colour, setup that laser printer, finish off with a classic white frame and it's good to go! This will work to add that splash of colour without having to drastically alter a room. And in order to squeeze in more than the one print and colour, an option is to spell out baby's name and use descriptive words to fill in after "is for". Ex. A is for awesome, etc.
Now, on to narrowing down a name…
Is it just me, or has children's clothing come a long way from what I remember growing up? Walking past the Zara window display made me do a double take. They were all outfits that I wouldn't mind having myself! Little pea coats with faux fur collars, blazers, and even a little bit of leopard print. Talk about the wonderful options that are now out there for dressing a mini me!
Here are some my week's Pinterest picks for children's outfits (Sources for images found there). They all have some classic pieces that will look put together, and give a parent versatility when helping the little one get dressed in the morning. At the same time, they're easy and comfy enough to let children simply be children.
With the Christmas season behind us, the winter lull can get a little long, especially for those of us located in colder climates. Vancouver, British Columbia, home of Stork Craft Manufacturing Inc.'s headquarters, is one of those cities that can see a lot of rainy days and early evenings that get dark by 4:30pm during the winter months. Good news is that this city offers some great options to take your family to shake off that cabin fever.
1) Vancouver Aquarium: Rain or shine, the Vancouver Aquarium is the place where little ones (and big ones!) will enjoy spending a day. The recently installed penguin exhibition has received raving reviews for their adorable African penquins and "A 180 degree view [that] will allow you to see these penguins in action as they waddle on the rockwork and swim in the surrounding water."
Looking for more than just a day experience? The aquarium also offers Family Themed Sleepovers. How cool is that? "After everyone has gone home and the Aquarium has closed its doors for the night, join us for an exciting night of exploration, complete with special activities, tours, presentations and guest speakers. After a delicious evening snack, we continue on the second half of your adventure in our behind-the-scenes marine lab. Touch local invertebrates, including sea stars, sea urchins and anemones." I did this with a youth group back when I was around 10 and a few decades later, I still remember the experience of whispering up a storm with my friends in our sleeping bags, and eventually drifting off to sleep with the glow of the huge killer whale tank in front of us.
2) Science World: Housed in the unmistakable silver sphere, Science World is the destination for all curious minds. No need to hush-hush your kids or tell them "do not touch". Let your children get hands on with the exhibitions and galleries that change seasonally. After the energy is spent, sit back and relax to a OMNIMAX film that will take you on a journey to the ends of the earth. Currently playing is To The Arctic.
3) La Casa Gelato: Needing a sweet pick-me-up after a day's activity? Housing 218 flavours on location at a time, La Casa Gelato is the go-to place for Vancouver sweet-tooths. With so many options to choose from La Casa invites customers to "Come on in and try a few of our 218 flavours, and then make your decision – we have to warn you though, it will be a difficult one."
4) Cypress & Seymour Mountain: One of Vancouver's greatest winter features is the skiing. With Cypress and Seymour as local mountains, both locations are an easy drive up for a day in the snow. For first-timers, big and small, lessons are available (here and here).
Got the need for speed? Looking for the rush, but minus all the gear? Tubing and toboganning are available as well.
5) Granville Island: Located in the heart of Vancouver, Granville Island will delight your family's senses with it's fresh produce, bakeries and restaurants, especially during Winteruption. Grab a bite, listen to various street performances, and survey the vendors that offer everything from locally sourced honey to hand made arts and crafts.
The kids will go ga-ga at the Kid's Market with its "30 shops, services and activities for children and their families. Kids Market is housed in an old factory which is over 100 years old, two annex buildings and a train caboose". Colourful and eclectic, you can be sure to find quality classic toys, as well as the latest, much sought after ones here.
(Stork Craft Monza I and Monza II cribs)
Did you know that a crib requires care and maintenance? Just like any other baby gear or item that is used on a daily basis, it is advised for all caregivers to frequently check for loose or worn out parts. Loose pieces should be tightened and worn out parts should be immediately replaced. Do not hesitate to call up the manufacture to ask about how you can go about aquiring new parts (Read about Stork Craft's warranty and replacement parts policy here). Should your item already be out of warranty, the manufacture may have a fee for the part or for shipping and handling, but for the safety of a child, it will be worth it. In the meantime, here is a quick Q&A for Stork Craft's pointers on crib and furniture maintenance.
What is the best way to clean my Stork Craft item?
When cleaning your crib or dresser, please always use a soft cloth. A damp cloth may be used if necessary, but make sure to dry the furniture with another soft dry cloth afterwards. Avoid use of any chemical products.
How do I get rid of smell in units?
It is possible that the characteristic smell of the wood from a new product may be noticeable for a while. The smell usually disappears after one or two weeks with some airing out from the original carton and packaging materials. Keeping the pieces in a well ventilated room can speed up this process.
All Stork Craft products are built to comply with the Consumer Product Safety Commission in the United States and Health Canada in Canada, and meet or exceed North American regulatory standards for juvenile furniture safety and performance.
Stork Craft products are made with non-toxic paint and materials.
What is the best way to store a crib?
When storing your crib for future use, save the instructions and keep them with the crib. Often, manufacturers post or attach instructions to the mattress platform so that they are easy to find when the crib is re-assembled for later use. If you misplace your instructions, please contact Stork Craft toll free at 1-877-274-0277 (Monday to Friday, 7 AM to 3 PM Pacific Standard Time) or email email@example.com (Email size should be at 4MB and under).
What size crib mattress should go with my crib?
The mattress size should be at least 27 1/4"x 51 5/8", and should not be more than 6 inches thick. The mattress should be of such length and width that the gap between the mattress and the sides of the crib is not more than 1-3/16 inches when the mattress is pushed into the corner of the crib.
Are conversion rails included with the Stages Cribs?
Stork Craft cribs do not include the metal rails required to convert to a full size bed. To convert a Stork Craft convertible crib into a full-size bed, use a metal frame with a double ended attachment. These rails can be purchased separately from any bed rail retailer.
We're always on the lookout for fresh nursery decorating ideas and we have jumped on the bandwagon for bunting! One of the cutests ways to add whimsy and colour to a room, it's simple to make, and easily customizable into any size, length or theme colour that you can imagine (Easy no-sew instructions here). Not up for DYI? Etsy offers some great options in paper and fabric.
Etsey, The Spotted Barn. Fun, bold and graphic.
Etsey, The Spotted Barn. Pretty vintage prints.
Etsy, All The Trimmings. A nautical theme for that little sailor.
So what are some ways to use them? Well, pretty much anywhere in a room, strung up high on a ceiling or wall. Our recommendation is to take care not to hang anything directly on the crib or furniture, and keep away from any place that is too close to where a child can pull the decoration down, whether in a crib or while crawling around in the room. Just like any decoration or accessory in a nursery, make sure to secure them properly so that it will not fall. Here are a few examples of inspirational places and spaces using bunting (Sources for images below can be found on my Nursery Pinterest board).
There are days when I can't get enough of Pinterest. It's the place to find quick inspiration for, well, just about anything! Here are some of my top favourite pregnancy style pins for this week. These hot mamas show that style is not dependent on the measurement of a waistline or the numbers on a scale. Style is still about selecting the right pieces for your current body shape, and staying true to your own tastes and comforts. But my favourite thing about these particular outfits is that they can be made up of items already found in your wardrobe. No need to be dismayed about having your current collection accumulate dust for nine months, or go out of the way to buy a brand new one. Note the summer maxis, a boyfriend blazer left unbuttoned, a pair of low sitting black leggings, or empire waist dress. These are probably all items that can already be found in your closet.

Moms will attest to the fact that once you have children in your life, mommy's needs, rightly or wrongly, tend to take a backseat to those of the family. The best of resources, whether it is in time, energy or finances, are allocated first to children and partners. So does this mean that moms are relegated to sweatpants, pony tails, and staying in until they wave their children off to college? According to website Elizabeth St, "Where Stylish Moms Meet", definitely not! While not everyday may hold a fancy date night, Elizabeth St. shows how moms can incoporate style with their daily life of errands and car pools. On top of insprational street styles that are taken around the world showing trendy moms and their little mini-me's, Elizabeth St is a lifestyle site that feature tips on decorating, healthy living, and interviews with mothers, including singer and academy award winner Jennifer Hudson. While mothers will always appreciate dinner recipes, pointers on ridding diaper rash and the benefits of opening an RESP account, it's refreshing to be reminded that even with a family and home to take care of, women can actively maintain the role of style mavin and mommy extroidinaire.
Our customer service department receives so many safety related inquiries from parents and caretakers that that we have come up with a short Q&A for our customers. With the New Year just begining, make it a habit to take a few spare moments to check all your baby gear over to make sure that everything is in good working order. Whatever parts require a quick evaluation and/or adjusting is worth doing on a regular basis in order to keep baby safe, and mommy and daddy at ease.
Are Stork Craft's products compliant to safety regulations?
Your child's safety is our greatest concern. Stork Craft strives to exceed your expectations in the areas of safety, performance, usability and style. All products meet or exceed North American regulatory standards for juvenile furniture safety and performance.
All Stork Craft products are built to comply with the Consumer Product Safety Commission in the United States, and Health Canada in Canada.
Stork Craft is JPMA certified.
How can I check to see if my crib is recalled or not?
For customers located in the United States, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (http://www.cpsc.gov/) can be contacted directly. Their toll-free Hotline, 1-800-638-2772 is available 24 hours a day and can be used to find out whether a product has been recalled and how to return a recalled product or arrange for its repair.
For customers located in Canada, please contact Health Canada (http://cpsr-rspc.hc-sc.gc.ca/PR-RP/home-accueil-eng.jsp).
My baby often sticks his/her limbs between the slats. What are the regulations for crib slat spacing?
Crib slats or spindles should be spaced no more than 2 3/8" apart, and none should be loose or missing.
My baby is teething on the rails. Is the paint safe?
You are not alone when it comes to a young child wanting to chew on their crib. Although many children only gum their cribs, there are some who will continually chew until they are removed from the area. Stork Craft products are made with non-toxic paint, which has no lead in it. Please keep in mind, however, that wood as a natural product will deteriorate if subjected to continual gnawing as teeth are harder than wood.
As a manufacturer, there is not much we can do to prevent this behaviour from occurring, but we do to suggest to parents to seek the advice of their paediatrician on what can be done to help limit this behaviour.
All Stork Craft products are built to comply with the Consumer Product Safety Commission in the United States and Health Canada in Canada, and meet or exceed North American regulatory standards for juvenile furniture safety and performance.
Up to how many pounds will a Stork Craft crib hold?
The limiting factor for using the crib is not weight, but by height. The maximum height for a child to use a crib is 95cm.
How can I evaluate my baby's crib for safety?
Make every night a good, SAFE Night! When a crib is assembled to the manufacturer's instructions and properly cared for, it provides a safe and comfortable environment for baby. To ensure the safety of your crib for current and future use, follow these guidelines:
Still have more questions which were not answered above?
For any further questions or inquiries, please feel free to contact Stork Craft customer service directly either by email or telephone.

The writers here at the FanSided Sports Network are now on day nine of our NHL season preview. I'd like you to skate over to each of our sites daily and see what our talented hockey writers have to say about their teams' upcoming season. Remember, we're all fans and we have high expectations for our team, and previews are what they are…..previews. It will be interesting to see what the gang here has to say about their respective clubs. Will the Washington Capitals finally challenge for the Cup, what will happen to the Boston Bruins as they try to defend their championship, and can the Vancouver Canucks survive the "heartbreak" of losing in the Finals without tearing up their city….again.
Yesterday Joe Reader one of the staff writers at Fire That Cannon began his preview by asking a very common question: Is it October yet? While we know the answer is no, people in Columbus are anticipating this upcoming season with their eyes wide open after the flurry of activity of the summer. With the addition of Jeff Carter to bolster the offence, Rick Nash now gets that real number one center that he's always wanted. By giving up the sometimes lethargic, yet very talented Jacob Voracek along with a couple draft picks, Columbus looks to have won this deal. On defence they added The Wiz, James Wisniewski, who will spruce up the power play, and add some toughness. The Wiz however has a careless habit about him of sometimes being too aggressive. It will be interesting to see if he can validate the 6 year $33 million dollar deal he received.
Joe had this to say about James and the team's defensive changes:
James Wisniewski should give the Jackets a solid offensive boost on the blueline, coming off a 51-point scoring season. He represents a pretty tremendous upgrade from the departed Jan Hejda, who left for Colorado with little effort by Columbus to keep him in town. It should also be noted on the defensive end of the ice that the Blue Jackets re-signed Marc Methot (four years) and Fedor Tyutin (six years) to long-term deals since last season, two guys the organization clearly thinks pretty highly of in terms of their ability to contribute to the success of the team.
Columbus no matter what will have a tough time in the West. They hung around last season fighting for the playoffs until they just ran out of gas in early March. Besides Nash they have some decent players such as Antione Vermette, Derek Brassard and roookie hopeful Ryan Johansen. In goal they have former rookie of the year Steve Mason as the number one guy. Mason who bounced back from his sophomore slump needs to find that consistency that's so hard for a young netminder. He's a workhorse though, and like most goalies, the more work he gets the better he performs.
For the "rest of the story" go to Fire That Cannon where Mary O'Malley and her crew bleed "Union Blue". And by the way, Krissy (Useless) Huselius is still recovering from sugery.

Advice vs. experience: Genes predict learning style
"Researchers at Brown University have found that specific genetic variations can predict how persistently people will believe advice they are given, even when it is contradicted by experience.
The story they tell in a paper in the April 20 issue of the Journal of Neuroscience is one of the byplay between two brain regions that have different takes on how incoming information should influence thinking. The prefrontal cortex (PFC), the executive area of the brain, considers and stores incoming instructions such as the advice of other people (e.g., "Don't sell those stocks.") The striatum, buried deeper in the brain, is where people process experience to learn what to do (e.g., "Those stocks often go up after I sell them.") (…)
People are guided more by advice at the start. Their genes determine how long it takes before they let the lessons of experience prevail.
"We are studying how maintaining instructions in the prefrontal cortex changes the way that the striatum works," said lead author Bradley Doll, a graduate student in Frank's lab. "It biases what people learn about the contingencies they are actually experiencing." (…)
People with a variation on the gene DARPP-32 that affects the response to dopamine in the stratium allowed people to learn more quickly from experience when no advice was given, but also made them more readily impressionable to the bias of the PFC when instruction was given. Like a "yes man" who is flexible to a fault, the striatum would give more weight to experiences that reinforced the PFC's belief, and less weight to experiences that contradicted it. Researchers call this confirmation bias, which is ubiquitous across many domains, such as astrology, politics, and even science. (…)
Ultimately the people with particular genetic variants were the ones who stuck with wrong advice the longest, and in a later test they were more likely to choose symbols that they were advised were correct over those that in reality had higher likelihood of being correct. Using a mathematical model, the researchers found that the extent of this confirmation bias on learning depended on their genes. (…)
Tradeoffs of adaptability
It may seem like having the genes for a strong-willed prefrontal cortex and an overly obsequious striatum could make people dangerously oblivious to reality, but Frank said there's a good reason for brains to be hardwired to believe in advice: Advice is often right and convenient.
People inclined to follow instructions from others, albeit to varying degrees based on their genes, can make sensible decisions much more quickly than if they had to learn the right thing to do from experience. In some cases (e.g., "Danger: high voltage") experience is a very dangerous way to learn. But in other cases (e.g. "The cable guy should be there at 1 p.m." or "This slot machine pays off"), believing in advice for too long is just foolish.
"It's funny because we are telling a story about how these genes lead to maladaptive performance, but that's actually reflective of a system that evolved to be that way for an adaptive reason," Frank said. "This phenomenon of confirmation bias might actually just be a byproduct of a system that tries to be more efficient with the learning process."

The St. Louis neighborhood JeffVanderLou is bounded by Dr. Martin Luther King Drive and Delmar Boulevard on the south, Natural Bridge Avenue on the north, North Jefferson Avenue on the east, and North Vandeventer Avenue on the west. And this nabe once housed Sportsman's Park and is now home to the Herbert Hoover Boys & Girls Club. But none of this really says who the neighborhood is. For that, you'll have to head over to the Public Policy Research Center Photography Project Gallery on the University of Missouri-St. Louis campus (1 University Drive at Natural Bridge Road) from noon to 1 p.m. on Tuesday, January 22, for the opening of Point-of-View: JeffVanderLou, a photography exhibit. For this show students from schools in and around JVL took pictures of their neighborhood that mimic photographs from last century; these pairs of images will be displayed along with stories about the district until Sunday, April 6. This same exhibit will also be on view in JVL at the Scott Joplin House State Historic Site (2658-A Delmar Boulevard) from Tuesday, January 29, through Saturday, March 15. Call 314-516-5273 or visit pprc.umsl.edu for more about the exhibition, the opening receptions and for gallery hours.

Petitioner Draws Ire of Twin Cities Women
Chehalis resident Michelle Watson sat along Louisiana Avenue near the Twin City Town Center Monday among friends, family and signs, all of which were beckoning passing motorists to embrace civility in the ongoing debate over the so-called "everything but marriage" act. The demonstration, attended by about a dozen local women and their children, was a reaction to a run-in with a paid petition gatherer for Referendum 71, Watson said.

Saints getting away before draft next week Aaron Wilson
The New Orleans Saints have planned a weekend trip to Las Vegas in advance of the NFL draft, according to ESPN.
No, they're not looking to relive "The Hangover."
The idea is to relax a bit before a draft that's taking place two weeks later than usual this year and a response to the idea that the additional preparation time is unnecessary.
The Saints, per the report, feel confident they've already gone over all the prospects many times and will get back to work Monday on the draft.
The Saints have done other things to break up the routine in the past with their players, including going to water parks, paintball or go-karts.
Why is the NFL draft being held in May? Ostensibly, it's because there was a scheduling conflict with an even at Radio City Music Hall. That didn't happen, though, due to lack of interest. The NFL said it was too late to shift it back to April. There's been plenty of views expressed that the NFL just wants to have the draft in May to increase interest.
The additional buildup doesn't seem to have had that effect, though, mostly just leading to impatience.
