Best Glider Rocker 2018
Last Updated: After comparing 11 different glider rocker brands brands, we pick the Dutailier Modern Glider Recline and Ottoman Combo ( . $477 on Amazon model C2081C693128) as the Best Glider Rocker 2018.
Scroll down for our picks for Best Budget-Friendly Glider Rocker, and Best all Upholstered Glider Rocker.

Made in Canada, Dutailier's glider rockers have been one of the most reliable recommendations we've had since we started writing about glider rockers back in 1994. This model (C2081C693128) has a back that reclines and Dutailier's patented "glide-r-motion" technology that relies on sealed ball bearings for a smooth motion.
At $500, you might be thinking—why spend that much money when you can buy a glider rocker and ottoman combo on Amazon for under $200? Three reasons: comfort, quality and durability.
Many of the super bargain glider rockers have cushions that are less than, well, cushiony. Others are too narrow in the seat. As for quality, read the 1-star reviews for the sub-$200 glider rockers. You'll note more than one person said the bargain glider fell apart after one (or there or six) months of use. Or they start to squeek.
Here's a picture posted to Amazon from a parent who purchased a StorkCraft $200 bargain glider rocker. After nine months of use by a skinny mom and dad, the chair looked like this:
That's the difference between those slapped together glider rockers and our pick, Dutailier: quality.
Yes, you spend more but it also won't fall apart. In fact, in our experience Dutailier rocker gliders can easily be reused for more than one child . . . and then repurposed to another room in the house down the road. The take home message: our recommended glider rocker is much more durable than the competition.
The Best Glider Rocker
Dutailier Glider Recline and Ottoman Combo, Platinum Sleigh
This brand sets the standard for quality and comfort in the glider rocker category. This rocker-glider /ottoman has a recline feature, which is major plus.
The Dutailier Glider Recline and Ottoman Combo, Platinum Sleigh is our pick as the best glider rocker for most folks. Here's a brief overview of the brand itself and more on why we picked this model.
Dutailier, the Brand
Quebec-based Dutailier (pronounced due-tal-yeah) is to glider-rockers what Google is to online search. Thanks to superior quality and quick delivery, Dutailier probably sells one out of every two glider rockers purchased in the U.S. and Canada each year.
Dutailier has an incredible selection of over 90 models, seven finishes, and 80 different fabrics. The result: over 37,000 possible combinations. All wood is solid maple or oak and features non-toxic finishes. You have to try real hard to avoid seeing Dutailier—the company has 3500 retail dealers, from small specialty stores to major retail chains. In the past year, Dutailier's Montreal designer has added a cool modern style chair ($800 and up) to match its Papaya crib, dresser and nightstand (see cribs for more info).
Prices for Dutailier start at about $470 (chair & ottoman) for their "Ultramotion" line sold at discount stores like Target.com. The Ultramotion gliders are entry-level: you get basic fabric cushions and exposed wood accents. Other models are exclusive to Amazon.com and priced around $420 to $530. Some fancier fabrics can run as much as $700 for the chair only. The good news about Dutailier at chain stores: models are often discontinued and then discounted—BRU often sells these chairs and floor models for prices in the $200′s.
You can spend much more than that—Dutailier's specialty store line lets you customize a glider-rocker to your heart's content . . . add a swivel base, plush cushions or leather fabric and you can spend $600. Or $1000. The latest rage: all upholstered glider rockers run $1000 to $1700 and come in leather or fabric.
If you like the upholstered look but don't have that much coin, Dutailier offers an option: chairs with fully upholstered arms (but open bases) for $600 to $650 with ottoman in six fabrics and five finishes. Basically, much the same look, half the price.
Realizing all these choices can be a bit daunting, Dutailier moved in the past to simply its offerings: now, all fabrics can be used on any chair. Dutailier's web site now divides its wood gliders into two categories: modern and traditional.
Dutailier offers an "auto lock" feature on some chairs—it's always locked when no one is sitting in it and then automatically unlocks when you sit down. Also new: a "nursery chair" for $430 with drop-down nursing pillows.
Quality here is excellent. We toured Dutailier's Quebec plant recently and were impressed with the high tech wizardry used in production—laser-guided water jets slice huge sheets of top-quality leather, computer-controlled ovens make sure stains are baked on chairs for an even finish and so on. At each step, quality is hand checked by an army of workers to insure consistency of fit and finish.
An optional accessory for glider rockers is the ottoman that glides too. These start at $150 at discounters, but most cost about $170 to $300. FYI: We've noticed more web sites selling glider and ottoman packages today with prices starting around $450.
One tip on rocking ottomans: we suggest skipping this and ordering an inexpensive "nursing" footstool (about $30). Why? Some moms claim the ottoman's height puts additional strain on their backs while breast-feeding. While the nursing footstool doesn't rock, it's lower height puts less strain on your back. (That said, we should note that some ottoman fans point out that once their mom/baby get the hang of nursing, that gliding ottoman is a nice luxury).
One safety note: don't leave an older child sitting in a glider-rocker. Many can be tipped over by a toddler when they climb out of it. (Safety tip: some glider rockers have a lever that locks it in position when not in use).
Flaws but not deal breakers
If we had to criticize Dutailier on something, it would have to be their cushions. Most are not machine washable (the covers can't be zipped off and put into the washing machine). As a result, you'll have to take them to a dry cleaner and pay big bucks to get them looking like new. A few of our readers have solved this problem by sewing slipcovers for their glider-rockers (most fabric stores carry pattern books for such items). Of course, if the cushions are shot, you can always order different ones when you move the glider-rocker into the family room—but that can be expensive, as replacement cushions are $150 to $300.
It can take ten to 12 weeks to order a custom Dutailier rocker (more for leather options), but the company does offer a "Quick Ship" program—a selection of around 15 to 20 chair styles in two or three different fabric choices that are in stock for shipment in two weeks. We have received occasional complaints about how long it takes to order a Dutailier—one reader special-ordered a Dutailier from a chain store, only to find out some weeks later that the fabric was discontinued. Other readers complain about fabric backorders, which cause more delays in delivery. Our advice: make sure the store double checks the order with Dutailier.
Best Budget-Friendly Glider Rocker
Ikea POÄNG rocking chair
Though not a glider-rocker, Ikea's POÄNG is a stylish, yet affordable option.
Best Budget-Friendly Glider Rocker. For sheer value, it is hard to beat Ikea's POÄNG rocking chair for $169-$229 (the more expensive version has leather cushion is $229). A matching, non-rocking footstool is $52.
Made of "layer-glued bent beech", the POÄNG comes in ten different cushion colors with a light brown frame. There is also a darker color frame available (IKEA calls this "medium brown").
The downside? Well, if you guess "I have to assemble it because it is IKEA", you are correct, sir! Like most things IKEA sells, you're going to need set aside some time to put the POÄNG together.
Also: The POÄNG is a rocker, not a rocker-glider (as we recommended above). What's the difference? Well, rocker-gliders have ball bearings to enable them to rock more easily. Rockers are simpler but require more omph to rock—if you have a c-section, it might be easier to use a rocker-glider than a simple rocker.
Despite these minuses, our readers report they are happy with the POÄNG as a stylish, yet affordable option.
Best Upholstered Glider Rocker
Best Chair Swivel Glider
Specializing in upholstered rockers with over 700 fabrics, Best Chair offers great quality and decent prices plus options like swivel and recline.
Best Upholstered Glider Rocker. If you have the budget for an upholstered glider rocker, we like Best Chair's offerings, most of which are in the $500-$700 range. The Best Chair Swivel Glider, pictured, is $600 at JCPenney. Best Chair is also sold in specialty stores.
Best Chair is an Indiana-based rocking chair maker that entered the baby biz in 2002, although they trace their roots to the 1960's. We were very impressed with their quality and offerings. Best specializes in upholstered chairs with over 700 fabric choices. They also make traditional glider rockers and furniture for other rooms in the house.
Cool feature: Best offers an optional 10-position glide lock that makes it easier to get in and out of the chair.
Delivery is four weeks and prices are decent for an all-upholstered look: compare these prices to the $1000+ Pottery Barn wants for their similar fully upholstered glider rockers.
Best is sold only in specialty stores and on JCPenney.com (Penney's carries quite a few models, in fabric and leather options).
Feedback from readers has been mostly positive on Best—a few complaints centered on Best models sold on JCPenney.com that had backs that were too short for some taller parents. Most folks had no problem, however and generally loved Best's overall quality and durability. For taller parents, it might be good to try out this chair in person before purchasing.
Why Trust Us
We've been rating and reviewing nursery furniture since 1994. In addition to hands on inspections of glider rockers, we have also visited manufacturer facilities and met with safety regulators—and when we travel, we pay our all of our own expenses. We also evaluate consumer reviews posted on our own message boards as well as on sites like Amazon.
Here's another key point: we don't take money from the brands we review. No free samples, no sponsors, no "partnerships." Baby Bargains is your independent and unbiased source for expert baby gear reviews. We've been writing and reviewing baby gear since 1994. Yes, that long!
How we picked a winner
We evaluate glider rockers with in-depth inspections, checking models for overall quality and durability. We also gather significant reader feedback (our book, Baby Bargains has over 1 million copies in print), tracking glider rockers on quality and durability. Besides interviewing parents, we also regularly talk with retailers of nursery furniture to see which brands are most trustworthy and other key quality metrics.
The reliability of nursery furniture companies is another key factor—we meet with key company executives at least once a year. Since we've been doing this since 1994, we have developed detailed profiles of major nursery furniture brands that help guide our recommendations. See below for links.
7 Things No One Tells You About Buying A Glider Rocker!
1. Yes, you can swap the cushions.
Glider rockers are certainly an investment, but there is one plus when you purchase one from a major brand like Dutailier and Shermag: you can order a replacement cushion to replace a stained one or just to change the look. Dutailier has a special part of their site dedicated to replacement cushions.
2. Better padding = happier parent.
Yes, there are some affordable $200 gliders sold out there—and we do like IKEA's version (see above). But other super bargain glider rockers have skimpy padding.
You'll be spending a good amount of time in this chair, from feeding to reading bed time stories and more. Our readers are unanimous: go for the better padding, even if it is another $100 or $200. Try out the chair in a retail store to make sure you are happy before ordering.
Also worthwhile: padded armrests, if that is an option for the model you are looking at.
3. Watch the width.
Some of the cheapest glider rockers are quite narrow, which might not seem bad if you are a small person. But remember you will most likely be using a nursing pil low with your newborn . . . and having the extra width to accommodate this pillow is most helpful!
4. Locks.
Consider a chair with a locking mechanism. Some brands (notably Shermag) have an auto-locking feature; when you stand up, the chair can no longer rock. Very helpful if you have a curious toddler who might end up with pinched fingers.
5. Focus on the chair, not the fabric or color.
With most glider rocker companies, you can choose from dozens if not hundreds of fabric colors. Hence the first job is to decide on the chair style. Certain styles can fit better than others—chairs with deeper backs are better for taller parents. Make sure your feet can comfortably rest on the floor when you are sitting all the way back in a rocker glider. Once you've decided on the best chair style, then consider fabrics and colors.
6. Cleaning: not so good.
The achilles heal of many rocker gliders is cleanability, or lack there of. Most cushions lack zip-off covers that can be machine washable. Hence, you're only choice is dry cleaning. One solution: you can buy affordable slip covers online for around $100. If your baby spits up a lot, this may be a wise investment!
7. Regular furniture stores may have better deals.
There is no federal law that says you have to buy a glider rocker for your nursery from a store with "baby" in its name! Upholstered rockers that recline are available from a wide variety of stores . . . and adult furniture stores usually have more generous sales than nursery store retailers.

I totally disagree with all of these "you're unappreciated/she's an ungrateful bitch" comments. She was having a bad day, people. If I was having a bad day, I'd be highly irritated by the end of the night too, ready to go to sleep and start a new day as quickly as possible. How would you like to be so close to getting to sleep, only to be woken up by your fiancé singing a song that your mum used to sing to you - only butchering it?
I know it was a kind gesture from the OP, but really I don't think this should be about her being ungrateful, or unappreciative. I know EVERYONE here has had at least ONE bad day in their life.
You guys tend to look at things one-sided.

I've had bad days. I'm just not DOUCHE enough to take it out on people tryin to be really nice to me about it.
I can see what you are saying, but I would think that he would have a general idea. I wouldn't start singing to someone if they were about to fall asleep anyways.
Even so, dear Pen, I still don't think that the OP's fiancé can really be considered ungrateful for having a bad day and therefore being moody, so I stand by what I said.

totally agreed. I know if I have a bad day and my husband knows it too. he just stays away from me and doesn't really say much. same goes for him too. people just don't understand that these days. and give women a bad name when it's just a bad day
Jewelofagal | 2
Bad days are one thing, using profanity against your fiance is another matter entirely. Even when tired or irritated, partners should not say such harsh, crude, and hurtful statements to each other. Should the OP marry this woman, she will be the kind of wife who routinely calls her husband profane names. It's just her personality. This kind of behavior helps to destroy relationships.

it's very hard for me to fall asleep, takes forever. so if my husband were to start singing to me as I was about to finally doze off I'd tell him to stfu too! regardless of whether my day was good or bad! lol, next time be more discerning op!

I agree with 93. While it is perfectly fine for her to be moody/tired/whatever, what she said to him is completely unacceptable and a gross overreaction. She's a witch. End of story.

Sounds mean I suppose, but if I were in a bad mood i'd probably tell you to shut the fuck up as well. Most people just want to be left alone if they're in a bad mood, otherwise they'll let you know, like "let's do something to get my mind off of things" otherwise, it's best to leave them alone. Or else you'll probably have a repeat of today.

When Junior Dos Santos attempted to write off his lopsided defeat to Cain Velasquez at UFC 155 as the result of "personal" issues, most of us just assumed that he was having a difficult time facing the fact that he was bested by a man he had previously destroyed. "Excuses are like assholes," commented at least one of you. "JDS was way to overconfident and paid for it," said a few others.
However, if the rumors currently circulating the MMA blogosphere have any truth to them, it was actually Armfarmer who provided the most astute observation of JDS when he declared that "Maybe he finally realized that he's married to a 2 when he could be pulling 10′s left and right. That realization would sure cause me some distracting personal problems.." A bit harsh? Surely, but according to Tatame's Guilherme Cruz, Dos Santos was in fact in the process of separating from his wife of ten years in the lead-up to UFC 155:
If you were wondering what JDS meant when said he has personal issues prior to Cain's rematch, he ended his 10-year marriage w/ Vilsana.
Dos Santos has yet to confirm or deny these rumors as of this write-up, although it would surely add some credibility to Dos Santos' claims that his head wasn't right in the weeks leading up to his title defense.
Now, we could easily use this opportunity to start lobbing pot-shots at Dos Santos' wife, but for once in our life, we're going to take the high road. Besides, we imagine that you readers will more than make up for our discretion in the comments section anyway. It's what we call having your cake and eating it too: a concept that Dos Santos' wife is no doubt familiar withDAMN IT ALL TO HELL.

Crash 3:16 share if you still believe this team can weave straw into gold.. Remember in the gloomy years when the Yankees always won & we could never even crack .500? I sat through some lean years. -You qualify if you remember players like Karim Garcia (as the Right fielder we got instead of Vlad Guerrero,) his buddy & fencing partner Shane Spencer soon to follow. Ricky Gutierrez as our opening day 2b. A guy that was billed as an awesome #5 starter, who they later tried to sell us as a #2 or 3 starter, Steve Tracsel. 2 fun facts about him: 1) He remains 10th on the all time Wins for the Mets with 66. Bartolo Colon his closest competition on the active roster, Jon Neise on the DL is closest among present Mets. (Will be happy in 2-3 years when names like Thor, Harvey, Degrom, Matz & co flood the top of this list leaving only the Doc & Tommy the Terrific Marine remaining.) & 2) He was an active member of the team in 2006 & on full rest when the playoffs started. Yet when the postseason began we found ourselves in dire need for a game 1 starter. Pedro was hurt, Glavine was on way short rest & El Duque was a last minute scratch due to a gluteal injury. Nobody said why but Tracsel was not even on the possession roster. Jon Maine got the ball & stepped up & took game 1 and the clincher. No reason to my knowledge has ever been given to why he was not available. Nor was he ever part of the team or Baseball again. A secret kept from the great NY Media that remains buried to this day... Boy did I just digress.
Do the names Kevin Apier, Pat MaHolmes, Braden Looper, Ricco Bronia, Darren Reed, Bobby Jones from the Left, Bobby Jones from the Right, Pat O'Brian, Mike Marshall, Jorge Toca, Tommy Herr (as a Met) Lenny Harris, Lance Johnson (& I am alarmed by how many more I can name.) mean anything to you? Me neither, but I routed for them. Because I believed in my team. Thanks to Men in Black & the 90 subsequent trivia games that asked for Bernard Gilkey's name you likely remember him. Of course if you share my thinking you are still scratching your head asking "How do you have a name like Butch Husky & suck at anything?"
Those were the lean years that's prominent feature was taking place behind closed doors where a deal was being struck to change the names on the stationary from Doubleday to Wilpon. We suffered for that too.
If you have read this far you likely have asked yourself this question several times: What if the Wildcard system as presently constituted had been like this for 30 years?
2015's subtitle was declared "Tears of Joy" Subtitled Until We Saw #33 come up the steps to pitch the 9th... then it was tears of blind "Bring it On Rage" then... just tears. But I would never trade the memory. We were that close but fell short to the team with 7 more games of World Series experience. Moral victories still ours.
This year... "The Uniforms that Made a Playoff Run with Outcome Pending" Guys like Seth Lugo or Robert GSelman would be as obscure as names listed above had it not been for this system & the diamonds hidden in the rough of our system. "Noah's Arc" if we make it back to the last dance. & Who knows?
I always force myself to believe. Last year was impossible even by my most optimistic standards. Yet it happened.
Next year will be the return of the Beasts, The Horses & The Warriors. For now let's enjoy whatever we get because in the end this is only the second year in a row where we aren't checking next year's free agent class & making pipe dreams for what likely won't happen. At the very least they took us to the end of September again. Did so with a MASH unit. (Mattz now officially done for the year.) We will remember this season fondly no matter when the clock strikes midnight. And I ask again... Who knows? Maybe the chariots turn back into pumpkins at the exact time when we start to pick pumpkins.. Mid to late October... I Still Believe.

Hampton High managed to accomplish what few teams had of late: Keep Kecoughtan's Rodney Bullock under wraps. What the Crabbers didn't count on was getting hurt by guard Lawrence Williams and center Kaelin Poe.
Williams and Poe scored 14 of their combined 20 points in the second half as the host Warriors overcame the Crabbers' smothering defense for a 54-49 win Tuesday night. Kecoughtan (10-2, 8-0) took sole possession of first place in the Peninsula District standings, with at least one (and most likely more) rematch remaining.
Bullock, the PD's leading scorer coming in at 22.1 points per game, was held to 10. But in addition to 15 from guard Greg Alexander, the Warriors found huge games from Williams and Poe.
"We knew their idea would be to stop Rajay and deny him the ball after the game he had the other night," Kecoughtan coach Ivan Thomas said, referring to Bullock's 31-point night vs. L.C. Bird. "But the other guys performed for us tonight.
"Williams gave us huge minutes off the bench, some huge points, and some huge rebounds and defensive stops. And Poe had been in a slump the last two games, but he had a breakout game tonight."
Williams, also a receiver on the football team, provided two of the night's biggest highlights. The first came with Kecoughtan leading 38-35, when he took a long rebound and went coast-to-coast for an "and-one" layup, then hit a free throw. In a flash, the Warriors' lead was doubled.
After Hampton (10-2, 8-1) trimmed the lead to three in the fourth quarter, Williams got a steal and converted a difficult layup on the other end to make it 43-38 with 6:05 left.
But it was Poe, the Warriors' 6-foot-8 center, who helped clinch it. With Kecoughtan holding a one-point lead, Poe scored off an offensive rebound to make it 50-47 with 1:39 left. After Anthony Barber missed the front end of a one-and-one, point guard Marcell Haskett scored on a follow to make it a five-point game with 46 seconds left.
Though it had a decided height advantage, Kecoughtan didn't control the offensive glass until the fourth quarter. The Warriors had three of their four second-chance baskets in the final five minutes.
"We talked a lot about the 50-50 balls," Thomas said. "We came up with them in the second half."
A big advantage for Kecoughtan came at the free-throw line, where it went 17-of-23. Hampton had only nine attempts, converting four.
HAMPTON (10-2, 8-1): Baker 6, Barnes 2, Barber 23, Melvin 2, Perry 6, Royal 10. Totals: 20 4-9 49.
KECOUGHTAN (10-2, 8-0): Bullock 10, Williams 9, Haskett 9, Alexander 15, Poe 11. Totals: 18 17-23 54.

Widgets and social networking features are the highlight of Samsung's newest touch-screen phone, the Reality. The handset will be available later this week exclusively through Verizon.
The Reality features Samsung's TouchWiz interface, allowing multiple widgets on the screen that can be expanded with a single touch on the 3-inch WQVGA screen.
It includes a full, slide-out Qwerty keyboard with instant messaging, mobile Web, personal and corporate e-mail, and Bluetooth capabilities. There's also a 3.2 megapixel camera built in, with video capturing and a special Night Shot Mode.
Like many of Samsung's other phones, social network connectivity is a large part of the Reality. Social network widgets are pre-installed to the phone and users can easily upload pictures and videos to their Facebook or YouTube accounts through a centralized interface.
It is also compatible with Verizon's VZ Navigator direction service and Visual Voice Mail.
The device will be available in Piano Black and City Red when it launches on Thursday, April 22, at a contract-subsidized, after-rebate price of around $80. The mail-in rebate is for $50, meaning the up-front cost for a Reality will be $130.

Lippan/Chittar Kaam, also known as Mud and Mirror work, is a traditional mural folk art form from Gujarat, a western border state of India. Gujarat's Rann of Kutch (The Great Salt Desert) that lies between India and Pakistan is home to several desert communities, many of which do this mud relief work in their own distinct style. One such, the nomadic Rabari people, are especially associated with it. Desert life is tough, but the indomitable spirit of human beings is perspicuously at display in the art these people choose to create, despite harsh, inhospitable environs. Lippan Kaam is usually done inside, and sometimes, outside the mud huts (bhungas) in far-flung villages.
Traditionally, a mixture of camel dung which is rich in fibre is mixed with mud and molded between fingers before being stuck directly on walls. Kutchi motifs such as peacocks, birds, animals, human figures, trees and geometric patterns are sculpted freehand in bas-relief. Muslim communities stick to geometric patterns since depiction of human or animal form is considered un-Islamic. Each pattern in embellished with mirrors (aabhla), of various sizes and shapes – round, diamond & triangular. Authentic Mud and Mirror work is almost always colored in white clay, or at best, in shades of neutrals. The white comes from the sand of the Rann desert, rich as it is in salt content.
With increasing numbers now living in concrete homes, and with the younger generation trading traditional arts and crafts for lucrative city jobs, the preponderance of Lippan Kaam is decreasing in villages (see video below). However the upside to the story is that the art form has gathered some traction over the years, and made an entrance into mainstream art world of India. Onwards from bhungas into fancy city homes and spas… and now, Manhattan!
This is my first attempt at Lippan Kaam and I've attempted to stay as authentic as possible, trying to retain the rustic look and white tones these murals sport. Since the designs are traditionally handmade, their lines are seldom precise and the end result is almost never factory-like perfect. I love these little nuances, and incorporating them in my work was important to me. But there are a few adaptations made, mostly with regards to the materials used. A detailed list is given in the end. This artwork has been created on Hardboard so it can be mounted on walls.
To start, I researched traditional motifs and patterns and came up with a final design; a process that involved multiple iterations. Then, after applying two layers of Gesso to the hardboard, it was painted with thin acrylic paint. The decision of staying with a white palette was one I took rather early on and that helped with planning the work as it proceeded. Once the acrylic dried out, the design was penciled.
With the design traced, I glued-in mirrors. All circular mirrors used are glass mirrors whereas the other shapes are cut out of Tim Holtz Mirror sheets. I loved working with the latter because of the freedom of being able to craft out any shape, and also, because the sheets come with a transparent cover which is very convenient when working alongside materials like clay and color. It keeps the mirrored surface free from fingerprints, colors etc.
Apoxie® Sculpt substituted regular clay for two reasons. One, it offers the benefits of sculpting clay and two, it has the adhesive power of epoxy so I did not need glue to stick clay to the board. It is smooth and putty-like in consistency, relatively simple to mix and use, even for first timers like me.
The Apoxie self-hardens (no baking required) and cures hard in 24 hours to appear with a semi-gloss finish. [Tip: I mixed small batches at a time, covering small portions of the larger design, since leaving epoxy out for long durations makes it hard and unwieldy.] The clay work was followed by sticking of cowrie shells. This is entirely my touch, don't think shells are traditionally Lippan Kaam materials.
I'll be honest, coloring was the trickiest part, for multiple reasons. First of all, conjuring multiple shades of white/neutrals was more difficult than I'd anticipated. Trickier still was avoiding coloring over tiny mirrors. Tedious. And last but not the least, ensuring that details of clay designs stay visible (and not get washed out by white acrylic color) took most time. If you look closely, I applied a wash in terracotta color over these just to give the details a pop, and followed that with a super diluted wash of white acrylic, in-line with the white overall look. Very. Tedious.
Once any art work is nearly done, the last bit is all about refining – bringing out the hits and covering the misses. In this case, since I intentionally wanted to leave the work rustic, this last step was more about drawing lines on where to stop..despite instinctively wanting to go on.
The end result is here for you to see.. I love it since it's a little piece of the Rann hanging on my wall. The interesting thing is, while I lived in India, I knew not much about its rich artistic heritage. However post settling abroad, I feel a need to connect to my roots be it the philosophy, religion, sociology, arts or crafts. Don't be surprised if they make an appearance here, often!
List of Materials used:
–Round Glass Mirrors, Assorted Sizes, 25-Pack
–Mosaic Mercantile 8-Ounce Adhesive
–100 Pcs Bulk Cut Sea Shell Beads Cowrie Craft
–White acrylic paint and Gesso. Any good brand will do, I used Liquitex and Blick
Here are two links. 1: shows a village woman, Valuben, making this work of art the traditional way. 2: is a short read on the Rabari people.
Hope you enjoy!

For some reason it seems like people begin to observe their body and find ways to lose weight more during springtime. Many people are already fantasizing about the hot summer days and the fun they'll have in some of the many beautiful beaches out there. However, there are also many of them who are worried about their appearance because the winter months are usually the period of the year when people gain weight.
It's not a secret that many women have a hard time getting rid of fat around their hips thighs. In case you want to eliminate extra fat, then you must be prepared to introduce some changes in your lifestyle.
Increase water intake, consume healthy foods, stay away from sugar and sugary products, reduce the intake of processed foods and most important – get physically active. You should exercise on a daily basis and you must get involved in some intense exercising if you want to get some results.
It is not necessary to go to the gym because you can do the exercises at home. All you have to do is to exercise only 12 minutes a day, and you will decrease 1 centimeter in the hips and thigh for one week.
However, you should be prepared for a really intense 12-minute exercising.
There is an intense 12-minutes workout shown in the video bellow, and it has helped many women around the world. Check it out and enjoy.

Medical Marijuana in the U.S.
Nationwide, the use or possession for use, sales or trafficking, growing or transporting marijuana is still illegal. This is in direct opposition to those states across the country that have decriminalized medical marijuana, and/or made it a legal substance, available by prescription, and grown by citizens who are given permission to do so in that state.
Marijuana laws vary regarding both recreational marijuana and medical marijuana. Since the early 1970s, states have revised laws to reflect popular demand for legalization of marijuanaa. Some states began to decriminalize marijuana if possessed in small amounts, usually less than one ounce. The first to do so was Oregon in 1973. In 1975, California, Ohio, and other states followed suit. Some cities across the nation attempted to pass laws regarding marijuana, but most were unsuccessful to maintain, due to political pressure and state laws that overrode their statutes.
Times Are Changing
Today, there are even stronger challenges to federal marijuana laws. In groundbreaking voting this past election (2012), two states legalized marijuana, Washington and Colorado. Today, the laws of these states are undergoing revision for those who grow, market and traffic in legal marijuana. More states across the country are allowing legal medical marijuana usage and some have decriminalized recreational marijuana as well with more expected to follow suit.
Justified Usage
The shift toward accepting and prescribing medical marijuana as a legitimate means of reduce paining and increasing appetite in persons suffering from debilitating rounds of chemotherapy and other illnesses has been seen by reputable doctors. It remains, however, illegal in the US to use, possess or sell marijuana for any purpose, despite state laws that conflict. The enforcement of those said laws are questionable. However, those who use medical marijuana run the risk of exposing themselves to prosecution for violating these laws, whether or not they benefit from the use, whether or not they agree with the laws, and whether or not it is legal in their community to do so.

Cesena wins playoff at Latina to return to Serie A
LATINA, Italy (AP) — Cesena beat Latina 2-1 on Wednesday to earn promotion to the top flight of Italian football, winning 4-2 on aggregate.
Cesena will join Serie B champion Palermo and Empoli in the top tier next season.
Alessandro Bruno gave Latina hope when he scored in the 13th minute to level the aggregate score — after Cesena had won the first leg of the playoff final 2-1.
But Gregoire Defrel equalized nine minutes after halftime and Emmanuel Cascione drove home a stoppage-time penalty to secure matters after Karim Laribi fouled Guido Marilungo.
Cesena has spent the past two seasons in Italy's second division following relegation from Serie A in 2012.
It finished fourth in Serie B this year, two points behind Latina.
Cesena beat Modena 2-1 on aggregate in the semifinals.

James Joyce Quotes (displaying: 1 - 10 of 304 quotes)
Reading two pages apiece of seven books every night, eh? I was young. You bowed to yourself in the mirror, stepping forward to applause earnestly, striking face. Hurray for the Goddamned idiot! Hray! No-one saw: tell no-one. Books you were going to write with letters for titles. Have you read his F? O yes, but I prefer Q. Yes, but W is wonderful. O yes, W. Remember your epiphanies written on green oval leaves, deeply deep, copies to be sent if you died to all the great libraries of the world, including Alexandria? Someone was to read them there after a few thousand years, a mahamanvantara. Pico della Mirandola like. Ay, very like a whale. When one reads these strange pages of one long gone one feels that one is at one with one who once ...The grainy sand had gone from under his feet. His boots trod again a damp crackling mast, razorshells, squeaking pebbles, that on the unnumbered pebbles beats, wood sieved by the shipworm, lost Armada. Unwholesome sandflats waited to suck his treading soles, breathing upward sewage breath, a pocket of seaweed smouldered in seafire under a midden of man's ashes. He coasted them, walking warily. A porterbottle stood up, stogged to its waist, in the cakey sand dough. A sentinel: isle of dreadful thirst. Broken hoops on the shore; at the land a maze of dark cunning nets; farther away chalkscrawled backdoors and on the higher beach a dryingline with two crucified shirts. Ringsend: wigwams of brown steersmen and master mariners. Human shells.He halted. I have passed the way to aunt Sara's. Am I not going there? Seems not.

Medora in Billings County, North Dakota — The American Midwest (Upper Plains)
Hunting and Trapping
The Little Missouri Badlands have always been ideal habitat for wildlife. American Indians hunted these lands for centuries. The first known white explorers, the La Verendrye brothers, ventured into the badlands in 1742.
Trapper Jean Baptiste La Page descended the Little Missouri River in late 1804 and joined Lewis and Clark in winter camp on the Missouri. Their expedition ushered in the Upper Missouri fur trade, which flourished in the second half of the 19th century.
The Little Missouri drainage was hunted for buffalo, bear, elk, deer, antelope, wolves, cougars, beaver and many other species. The badlands became a haven for adventurous sportsmen, such as John Palliser of Britain, who hunted the area in 1848, and Irish nobleman Sir St. George Gore, who led a large hunting party through in 1856.
Construction of the Northern Pacific Railroad in 1880 provided easy access to this hunter's paradise. Among the many who came to hunt was young Theodore Roosevelt in 1883. Roosevelt adopted the badlands as a second home and helped popularize the area through his prolific writing.
This area continues to be a popular destination for hunters, including those who prefer to hunt with a camera or a sketchbook.

It seems like this moment has been building up forever, but the cast of Twilight were finally all together on the red carpet for the LA premiere of 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1' last night.
As the gorgeous face of Donna Karan, Ashley Greene was always going to take to the red carpet in a look by the designer.
This was true as she glided down the red carpet wearing a custom gown.
Her fiery red lace strapless gown with spiralling chiffon strips was the perfect look for the actress.
This is the second time I have adored her on the red carpet, and as if by coincidence it's the second time she's worn a custom Donna Karan dress.
This pairing looks to be a match made in fashion heaven.
A glossy rich lip and nail colour complemented her gown whilst wavy curls tumbled down her shoulders.
Hopefully there are many more custom Donna Karan looks to come from Ashley.

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Solaris Grille Restaurant Review: An oak barroom gives way to a bright pastel-hued dining room that in turn looks to a garden room. It's a contemporary setting where chef John Anderson delivers well-executed, straightforward fare to a loyal following of Chestnut Hill neighbors and city folk. They may start with Parmesan-dusted calamari or a vibrant toss of Boston lettuce with Granny Smith apples, blue cheese, spicy cashews and honey-sesame vinaigrette. Entrées run the gamut from steaks and fajitas to a good selection of seafood including a mixed seafood brochette and an herb-marinated salmon. The appetizer menu reads like a great tailgate party and for Monday night football, it's the place to be. Solaris features live music and offers wine tastings.

Marcus Luttrell found his dog lying in a ditch. She'd been shot in the left shoulder. Calls continue to come into the Walker County Sheriff's office from around the country -- total strangers are expressing their disgust and outrage over what happened, as well as concern for Luttrell who has already lost so much.
At McKenzie's Barbecue in Huntsville, a local war hero's heartache is all the lunchtime crowd can talk about.
"I'd hate to say it, but if I were in the position he was in, I would have shot them or shot at them," admitted lunch patron Ralph Lawson.
Last week, former Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell, the lone survivor of a fierce fight in Afghanistan, found himself at war with a different kind of enemy -- a group of men he says shot and killed his beloved dog. She was a white Labrador named DASY -- an acronym for the SEAL team members he lost in battle.
"Some people think dogs are dogs," said Luttrell. "This was my rehab dog that I got after I got shot up in Afghanistan. It's not just a dog. To me it's like my daughter."
Luttrell got in his truck and chased the vehicle and its four occupants more than 20 miles through three countie, driving at speeds over 100 miles an hour before making a citizen's arrest near Onalaska. He stayed on the line with a 911 operator the entire time.
911 operator: "Are you chasing them because they shot your dog?"
Luttrell: "Yeah, that's right."
Operator: "Do you know who these people are?"
Luttrell: "I have no idea."
Two of the men in that car -- Michael Edmonds and Alfonzo Hernandez -- have been charged with cruelty and torture to a non-livestock animal. Investigators tell us they are suspects in at least three other similar cases.
The senseless killing of this war hero's dog is drawing nationwide attention. Luttrell says while he's touched by all the support, all he wants is justice.
"I want them prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law," he said. "I mean, they murdered my dog. That's a member of my family. That's murder."
Both suspects have bonded out of jail. Detectives with the Walker County Sheriff's office will eventually present the findings of their investigation to the Walker County District Attorney's office, who in turn, will present this case to a grand jury.
Luttrell received his dog from America's Vet Dogs, a group that provides service and guide dogs to members of the military. The dog services are provided at no cost to veterans. Earlier this year, a service dog was taken to Iraq to live with military members there to help reduce stress.

VIGO COUNTY, Ind. - Four adults are facing charges after a 9-year-old boy suffering from cerebral palsy starved to death. He weighed only 15 pounds at the time of his death.
Hubert Kraemer, Chad Kraemer, Robin Lee Kraemer and Sarah Beth Travioli, all of Fontanet, Indiana were arrested on charges ranging from felony neglect to failure to report child abuse.
Hubert and Robin Kraemer were the guardians of the child and have had him since he was three days old.
The boy, Cameron R. Hoopingarner, was transported to Union Hospital and was later pronounced deceased after paramedics received a call reporting that he'd gone into cardiac arrest. Hoopingarner was 9 years old, had cerebral palsy and was blind.
Two other children, ages 5 and 3 were removed from the residence and were placed in protective services.

Consumers are often very concerned about the risk of fraud on their debit and credit cards, and new data shows that there are a number of troubling trends on the rise.
Instances of credit and debit card fraud increased in some categories across the U.S. in the period between January 2010 and September 2011, according to new research from the credit reporting bureau FICO's Falcon Fraud Consortium. While only about 1 percent of credit and debit cards issued around the world are hit by fraud, those consumers who find themselves victimized often suffer considerably as a result.
"More online shopping has created a shift towards more online fraud, which is proving to be a popular, relatively safe and anonymous means for fraudsters to exploit any weakness in fraud systems," said Doug Clare, vice president of product management at FICO. "Consumers and issuers should remain diligent when using cards for point of sale and ATM transactions."
For instance, the amount of card-not-present credit card fraud - that is, accounts that are ripped off with transactions made online, through the mail or by telephone, rather than by the crook presenting the card in person - rose at twice the rate of counterfeit use, the report said. This is likely due to criminals recognizing that card-not-present fraud gives them a greater chance to cover their tracks and otherwise avoid being discovered. These transactions accounted for more total fraud both in terms of dollar value and the overall number of bogus transactions, but fell short of counterfeit fraud in terms of the average cost per compromised account.
Meanwhile, the amount of losses as a result of debit card fraud increased more significantly than did their credit counterparts, largely the result of 15 percent more authorization of these purchases, as well as more prevalent use of skimming techniques, the report said. Interestingly, though, about 11 cents of every dollar lost to this type of fraud was spent overseas.
Consumers who are worried about instances of credit and debit card fraud affecting their finances may want to make sure they check their monthly statements and bills regularly for any sign of transactions that were completed without their knowledge. Often, it's easier to clear up fraud on credit accounts than on debit cards, because of the time limits banks place for reporting bogus purchases on the latter payment type.

Monitor Folder on Your Hard Disk with File Router
We all download a lot of stuff from the net and by default most of its gets downloaded in the Download directory. And if you don't organize the stuff regularly, the Download directory will end up containing a lot of files like documents, zip files, music, movie files etc. File Router is a free application that will monitor a path on your Hard Drive and will move the files to appropriate locations based on certain matching patterns.
You can configure it to move the movie files automatically to a Movie Folder. In this way, you wont have the hassle of managing the folder your self. The application is basic and easy to setup. Run the application and in the source field, specify the directory that you want to monitor. You can then specify the mappings. Just type the file extension that you want and type the destination where you want to move them. Multiple extensions can also be moved to the same location. You can use extensions like ".avi, .wmv, .ppt" etc and the program will automatically move them to the destination that you specify. In the taskbar icon, you can make the program "Watch New Files" automatically or you can also perform a manual scan.
The program is very simple and quite helpful if you are looking to save some time. The program is free and runs on Windows. It requires .Net Framework.

Legendary pioneers of folk punk
Before there was Americana, folk punk, or any other fusion of roots music with rock's forward edge, there were Violent Femmes, who were discovered by Chrissie Hynde playing on the sidewalk of a Milwaukee venue where The Pretenders to appear (she invited them on stage, and the rest his history). The band has split up and reunited several times since then, each time with Gordon Gano as the lead vocalist—and it seems as though they've found continuing demand for their music simply because in many respects the rest of the rock world still hasn't caught up with them. That, and they've recorded ten albums, all of them fresh and vital (along with a version of the SpongeBob SquarePants theme. Violent Femmes come to Michigan with a new album, "2 Mics and the Truth." Folk punk singer-songwriter Brett Newski opens.

Jacques Vergès was a celebrity lawyer in France. Jacques was born to a mixed race couple. As a result of Jacques and his twin brother's births, their father was forced to emigrate to another country to keep his government job. Vergès grew up proud of his multi-ethnic heritage, and as a teenager voluntarily enlisted in the military. After an extended service during the war, he enrolled in law school in Paris. He found his vocation as a student leader, first representing students of color and then the youth wing of an international political movement. After several years of political agitation work in another country, Vergès returned to Paris to practice law. One of his first controversial clients was a woman accused of participating in violent resistance to the colonial occupation of her homeland. After Jacques successfully saw her conviction pardoned, he married her. He was briefly imprisoned and lost his license to practice law as the state tried to discourage him from representing clients facing terrorism charges. After a mysterious and lengthy hiatus from both his public and private life, Vergès returned to Paris and continued to defend a number of notorious clients, including former heads of state and accused war criminals. After a lengthy career in the public eye, Vergès passed away from natural causes.
In 1942, at age 17, the adolescent lad traveled to England to join the 'Free French Forces' led by Charles de Gaulle. He then fought as part of the anti-Nazi resistance forces.
In 1945, Vergès joined the 'French Communist Party'. Later in the same year, he enrolled at the 'University of Paris', studying law.
He became president of the 'Association for Colonial Students' (AEC), in 1949. He thus met fellow AEC member Pol Pot.
In 1950, moved to Prague to lead a Communist youth organization. There he met Erich Honecker and Alexander Shelepin.
Vergès then moved to France in 1954 to pursue a career as a lawyer. He quickly gained infamy for his eagerness to take on controversial cases.
The budding lawyer first obtained national fame in 1957 after agreeing to represent Djamila Bouhired, a woman facing terrorist charges for her alleged connection to the bombing death of 11 people in Algeria. Although she was convicted and sentenced to death, she was later pardoned and freed following public outcry generated by Vergès.
In 1960, Jacques was sent to jail and had his law license stripped for "anti-state activities". After two months, he was freed and his license was reinstated.
In 1962, the lawyer obtained citizenship in newly-independent Algeria. He then changed his first name to Mansour, the Arabic name meaning 'Victorious'.
In 1968, Vergès and his wife founded a magazine entitled 'Revolution'.
In 1970, the legal executive mysteriously disappeared from public view. He left his wife and cut off all ties with friends and family for eight years. He has never explained his activities during this period.
After returning to practice law in France in 1978, he defended a number of individuals accused of terrorism, including Georges Ibrahim Abdallah and members of the 'Baader Meinhof gang'.
In 1982, he defended Magdalena Kopp, the romantic partner of the terrorist Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, better known as 'Carlos the Jackal'. Twelve years later, the attorney briefly worked on Sanchez's defense team.
In 1987, he achieved worldwide notoriety after defending Nazi leader Klaus Barbie. Barbie was later convicted on 341 charges of crimes against humanity.
In 1999, the legal practitioner sued 'Amnesty International' for his client, the government of Togo. The Togolese government was upset about the non-profit's report on Togolese governmental massacres ahead of local elections.
He sued an author of a book, in 2001, on behalf of the heads of state of the Republic of the Congo, Gabon and Chad. The author successfully defended his work at the 'European Convention on Human Rights'.
In 2007, a documentary about the attorney was released entitled 'L'Avocat de la terreur' or 'Terror's Lawyer' in the English version.
In 2008, he was hired as part of a legal team to represent several former leaders of the Iraqi government. That same year, he wrote a play about himself entitled 'Serial Defender' and performed as himself at the 'Theatre de la Madeleine' in Paris.
In April 2011, Khieu Samphan, the former head of state of the Khmer Republic, was represented by Vergès during Cambodia's genocide tribunal.
Jacques Vergès is internationally known for representing controversial clients, the most notorious of which was convicted Nazi war criminal Klaus Barbie in 1987. The legal practitioner developed a trademark style dubbed as the 'rupture strategy', wherein he defended his clients by charging the prosecution with the same offenses.
Jacques Vergès was born on March 5, 1925 in Ubon Ratchathani, part of Rattanakosin Kingdom in Siam. His mother was Pham Thi Khang, an ethnic Vietnamese woman, while his father, Raymond Vergès, was a French diplomat. His mother died when he was 3 years old.
Jacques spent the majority of his childhood in Reunion, the French island. He had a twin brother named Paul. As a young boy, his father taught him how to throw stones at older bullies.
