making the crib mattress more comfortable

In my FTM (first time mom) SIDS phobia obsession, I bought probably the hardest mattress on the face of the earth - the Colgate Classica Foam (Baby Bargains was my bible). The mattress is seriously hard as a rock. DD (dear daughter) and I have been co-sleeping for the past month or so (long story) and I need to transition her back to her crib. Of course, I'm sure she's gotten used to the much more comfortable regular mattress now - If I was her, I certainly wouldn't want to sleep on that hard surface.In an effort to ease the transition back to the crib, I'd like to use a pillow top or a cushy mattress cover or something to make it more comfortable. Anyone use anything that they like/recommend to make LO's mattress more comfortable? The water proof mattress pads I sintered have (all 3 of them) basically don't do anything to add much comfort. There's a slight "quilt" to the ones I have, but the mattress certainly doesn't feel any soft

An Ontario-based printing company has expanded into Hamilton with its 11th store. Reprodux, a printing, copying and management solutions company, recently opened its doors on Catherine Street North to meet the needs of its clients in Hamilton, said branch manager Jason Morse. "It was a convergence of circumstances and partly because it was good timing," he said. "We'd like to get our footprint downtown; there's some exciting things starting to happen and we felt that there's enough of a case to be here and generate some more business with clients by actually being here rather than serving it from outside." The new location aims to better provide services for its clients already in the city, as well as new clients, rather than from its Burlington branch. Reprodux is a full-service printer, but it also produces engineering graphics aimed at architectural, engineering, manufacturing and construction industries. It also does large format graphics, stationa

Purple Mattress Reviews and Prices

Purple - The All-New Purple Mattress3.8 out of 5Created by brothers with more than 30 cushioning-related patents used by brands like Nike, Johnson & Johnson and Dr. Scholl's, Purple's founders Tony and Terry Pearce invented a machine (the Mattress Max) that can produce a gridded cushioning mattress layer at a consumer-friendly price. In 2016, they introduced the Original Purple Mattress, priced at $999 for a queen. What differentiates Purple in the direct-to-consumer mattress market is that its mattresses are made of a "hyper-elastic polymer" rather than powerbank memory foam. The polymer consists of recyclable, food-grade materials and uses a grid-like structure to absorb and transfer pressure from the hips and shoulders, so you get cushioning and support where you need it, depending on your sleep position. Purple also rolled out the All-New Purple Mattress, a hybrid foam-innerspring product that U. S. News 360 Reviews rated as one of the Best Hybrid Mattresse

Go Green - The Eco-Friendly Alphabet

In the very near future, green design will be the standard by which houses are built, finished and decorated, not some tree-hugger trend. Here is your alpha to omega reference for going green. A is for Antique. Nothing says reduce, reuse, recycle like antiques. B is for Balance. Tending to the needs of the environment can sometimes impact the growth of an economy. As the pendulum swings, the balance will eventually be achieved and buying products from manufacturers with an environmental conscience will be common place. C is for Certified wood. Wood certified by a third-party which has been grown and harvested in an environmentally responsible manner. Certified wood is available in flooring, cabinetry and furniture products. D is for Durable. By increasing the product life time we increase its usability and keep it out of the landfill. The problem most john of us experience is we get tired of products long before they wear out. E is for Energy consumption. Since we cannot hol

8 Easy Welding Projects For Beginners!

Image
googletag.display("div-ad-articleLeader");Before we discuss the actual projects you can do at home or in a small shop, we need to discuss safety. When it comes to welding it's important to work safely at all times. You will be using powerful and dangerous machinery that can hurt you or someone else in any number of ways. So choose a project you feel comfortable taking on, one that falls within your specific skill set. More complex projects can be certainly taken head on once you've put yourself through the paces by completing easier, more novice-level projects. Be smart and always wear your protective gear while working on these welding projects. Welding can be a lot of fun, rewarding and quite profitable, particularly if you have a passion for this hobby or profession. Getting started with your own projects at plaque home or even running a welding shop can be fun and challenging. If you're just starting out, here's a good way to go about it: invest in some

lateralised motor control: hemispheric damage and the loss of deftness

Abstract Objective: To learn if the left compared with the right hemisphere of right handed subjects exerts bilateral compared with contralateral motor control when performing precise and coordinated finger movements. Methods: The study investigated intertask differences of manual motor asymmetries such as speed, precision, and independent finger movements, in patients with unilateral lesions of the left (LHD) or right hemisphere (RHD) necklace and normal controls (C). Results: Normal subjects showed the greatest right hand preference on a task that required rapid coordinated and precise independent finger movements (coin rotation). Both hemisphere damaged groups revealed contralateral motor deficits, but the magnitudes of asymmetries were found to be significantly different (RHD>C>LHD) with contralateral and ipsilateral deficits for LHD subjects. The greatest ipsilateral deficits for the LHD subjects were on those tasks that require precision (grooved pegboard and coin rotatio
