Photo Coverage: Ian Finkel Partners with More4Many for Book Launch!
Regarded as the World's Greatest Xylophone virtuoso, Ian Finkel (www.ianfinkel.com) expands his creative reach by partnering with More4Many books as they publish three works of fiction. The partnership was celebrated on Tuesday, May 20 at the Davis Room at The Warwick Hotel (65 West 54 Street).
Finkel's off-beat sensibility and keen ability to craft wonderfully dark comedic tales are on full display in his novels; Three is the Charm, Sex Stories My Wife Told Me and Transmutation Blues.
Following the lives of three working girls, Three is the Charm is a powerful and brutal account of street life in 1950's New York City. Humorously told, Three is the Charm is a love story packed with graphic sex and violence.
Harvey and Janie are the perfect couple. They have been married for years in sweet simplicity, raised a family and are now enjoying retirement. Suddenly sweet Janie begins writing stories of the foulest nature sending Harvey down a dark road. PartThe Exorcist and Part 50 Shades of Grey, Finkel's Sex Stories My Wife Told Me is a delightfully deranged tale of meeting someone again for the first time.
Dissecting the garbage cans in the back alleys of life, Transmutation Blues is about the journey of change. Transmutation Blues is a collection of twisted, funny and quirky tales of change that depicts the most honest human conditions.
Ian Finkel has covered much ground in the music world. He has appeared around the world and has written for such stars as Michael Feinstein, Sid Caesar, Ginger Rogers, Tito Puente, Larry Gatlin, Martin Mull, Madeline Kahn to name just a few.

TAMPA — A local Iraq war veteran will spend 6 1/2 years in federal prison and register as a sex offender for possessing child pornography, a judge ordered Tuesday.
"You are going to prison with your honorable service to this country," U.S. District Judge James D. Whittemore said before handing down his sentence. "It's unfortunate."
Julian Russell Clawson, 24, of Tampa, plead guilty in October to one felony count of possessing child pornography. After prison, Clawson must serve 10 years on probation. He remains free until a surrender date is set.
After Clawson's tour of duty in Iraq and discharge from the Florida Air National Guard, he worked as a contract system administrator at MacDill Air Force Base.
Federal investigators said he had more than 700 images of child pornography on his computer.
In court records, Clawson's public defender David Secular said Clawson had a difficult childhood that may have contributed to his behavior. Clawson became sexually active at 7 with two neighborhood girls and was exposed to pornographic magazines by his grandfather about the same age, court records said.
A psychologist testified that Clawson didn't pose a threat to the community and likely wouldn't continue viewing child porn. A separate psychologist previously diagnosed Clawson with depression and anxiety.
"Mr. Clawson is in no way different than any other person who faces this offense," Assistant U.S. Attorney Amanda Kaiser said.
In a five-page letter to the judge, Clawson quoted the Declaration of Independence, the Bible and Frederick Douglass as he expressed remorse.
"There's still a lot of denial in that letter," the judge said. "But it does tell me you are trying to address and understand these things and move on. And that's commendable."

Yesterday the long-awaited YouTube update for Apple TV arrived. Now Apple's television-synching box comes with YouTube functionality built in. Initially, we weren't hugely impressed with Apple TV, citing lack of UK content as a reason to award it only 2.5 out of 5.
So the inclusion of YouTube is a massive boost for the Apple TV in the UK. From having no content at all in the UK, to having the world of YouTube at your fingertips suddenly, is a pretty big step forward.
Installing YouTube on the Apple TV is a simple process. Click the 'Update' option and wait for the download. It took about five minutes to download and another couple of minutes for the Apple TV to restart.
At this point you'll find an option marked 'YouTube' on the Apple TV menu. Click on it and you'll be gazing over the following options: 'Featured', 'Most Viewed', 'Most Recent', 'Top Rated', 'History', 'Search' and 'Log In'.
The first three options take you to a selection of video clips selected by the YouTube community. There's a lot of random video here, of varying subjects. A lot of it tends to be obscure and cliquey in the way that internet groups can often be - it matches up with the YouTube website so you can take a look there to see what's on offer.
Like the YouTube website, you can search for, store favourites and rate video clips. Which is what the rest of the menu is taken up with. Of great relief is the fact that you log in to YouTube from your Apple TV and sync up with your YouTube online account.
This is particularly handy because searching for video clips directly from the Apple TV is a bit of a bind. While the Apple remote is widely praised for its simplicity (it's only a directional pad and two buttons), it's clear that using it to enter text on the screen is a hassle. Consequently the ability to sync up with your online account is invaluable: it enables you to do the searching and bookmarking from your computer, then use this as a springboard to watching video clips and searching for related videos from the comfort of your TV.
The amount of video clips available on YouTube also limits the experience. YouTube claims to have converted 10,000 video clips to the Apple TV format, and while this is certainly plenty of video to play around with, it's far short of the reported 5.5 million clips on the full site. You don't have to search very hard to discover the limitations of having a library of just 10,000 videos.

Critic and scholar Vivian Mercier once described Waiting for Godot as "a play in which nothing happens. Twice."
I went to the Bug Theatre's production of Godot with no particular expectations. The days when the play puzzled and infuriated the theater-going public, garnering equal parts derision and passionate support, are long gone -- although I can clearly remember the first time I read it, sprawled on a couch in a lover's apartment while he was away at work. I was determined to appreciate the damn thing (I was, after all, a literature major) whether I understood it or not. The amazing thing was that I did. The language caught me -- its spareness and its music -- and I fell in love with all things Beckett. I was astonished by his worldview, the sense of life as something endlessly dwindling and at its core a nothingness that might be -- in the most unsentimental way -- transcendent. "Where there is nothing, there is God," Samuel Beckett's countryman W.B. Yeats once said.
A couple of decades later, after having viewed a few too many bad productions of Beckett's plays, I started wondering if the gaunt, craggy, enigmatic old Irishman was really everything I'd thought him.
Waiting for Godot
3654 Navajo Street
Presented by the Bug Theatre through March 20, 303-477-9984, www.bugtheatre.org
He is. At the Bug, director Mare Trevathan Philpott works with an immediacy and clarity of vision that clears away the crust of time, fashion, opinion and academic analysis and lets us see the play's white bones -- and what a solid and extraordinary pattern they make.
Godot has its roots in the theater of the absurd. Two tramps, Vladimir and Estragon, meet daily in some indefinable place -- a road, a field, perhaps King Lear's blasted heath -- and stay together till evening. The landscape is empty of everything except a small tree. (At the Bug, however, we're reminded that the tramps are in a theater by the flushing of a john whenever Vladimir goes offstage to take a leak.) The two men are waiting for Godot. We don't know who Godot is -- critical speculation ranges from God himself to death to a French bicyclist named Godeau whom Beckett admired -- and anyway, he doesn't come. The tramps engage in some vaudeville-style business using their hats and a pair of boots. They experience physical aches and intense feelings of futility. The bickering, games, angry flare-ups and moments of sentiment with which they pass the time are interrupted by the entrance of Pozzo. He is leading the ironically named Lucky by a rope; Lucky is laden down with baggage. Vladimir experiences a moment of ethical concern -- "It's a scandal...to treat a man like that" -- but his scruples soon fade, and Estragon has no scruples at all. He wants only to exploit the situation for whatever he can get out of it -- food, money or the chance to kick Lucky. The action in the second act is very similar, with some significant differences.
Philpott has cast two excellent actors, Gary Culig and Brett Aune, as Vladimir and Estragon. Culig's Estragon is the sloppier of the two tramps, playful, sulky, gleefully malicious, wearing a loud checked jacket and a tie with huge circles spinning on it. As Vladimir, Brett Aune is almost dapper, pecking about the stage like a bird, a spry little figure in a neat black suit. Both men have slightly Chaplinesque walks, and both perform repetitive bits of music-hall business -- Aune with great meticulousness.
Many productions of Godot are heavy and portentous; sometimes the action seems endless (I suppose it can be argued that this is appropriate). Culig and Aune are hilarious, however, and the dialogue feels swift and precise -- and then, at the end, absolutely heartbreaking. Wearing a colonial-style pith helmet, Kevin Hart is an authoritative Pozzo; his endless fiddling with pipe, throat spray and watch mirrors the tramps' obsessive play with their bowler hats. Pozzo is a pathetic bully, by turns callous, sentimental, cruel or humbly imploring. As Lucky, Dennis Rodriguez is called on to stand for long periods of time with his mouth open, his eyes circled with black, his feet turned out and his knees slightly bent, looking like a clown, a puppet, something inanimate. The shocking thing is that while his first appearance on stage stuns us, our pity and concern -- like Vladimir's -- soon turn to indifference. "Habit," as Vladimir later observes, "is a great deadener." But when Lucky begins his lengthy, incomprehensible monologue, the result is electrifying. This speech must be at least ten minutes long, and it's a testament to Rodriguez's conviction and the deftness of the direction that we listen to every word, trying to piece these words together to make meaning, sometimes feeling we're successful or almost successful, sometimes giving up, even as Lucky sputters into complete physical and vocal incoherence.
Sam Deutsch plays, with touching solemnity, the boy who every night brings news that Godot will not come.
The setting for this production is ambiguous. We appear to be outside, but the little tree is patently artificial (the green leaves in the second act are small lights) and there are bits of what looks like broken scenery at its base. The offstage toilet is not the only self-consciously theatrical reference. Pozzo interacts directly with the audience more than once, encouraging members to laugh in order to prove his theory that "For each one who begins to weep, somewhere else another stops. The same is true of the laugh." At one point, Estragon decides to leave and heads for the horizon, which is poetically lit in sunset pinks and blues. He hits the stage's back wall with a thud.
Everything about this production coheres, everything is clean and defined. The groupings on stage are carefully composed, and the direction takes deliberate advantage of tricks of perspective as the actors move toward or away from the audience. Each individual performance is strong, and all the performances are calibrated to work together. Some bits of action are mesmerizing. For instance, there's a famous and very beautiful sequence when Didi and Gogo talk about the dead:
Vladimir: They make a noise like wings.
Estragon: Like leaves.
Vladimir: Like sand.

Estragon: Like leaves.
Twice during this recital, the two men tilt their heads to the side and listen. These are compelling and significant moments. Unfortunately, one woman in the opening-night crowd found them irresistibly funny and whinnied with laughter every time the actors paused. Fortunately, Brett Aune had the presence and intensity to still the cachinnation for Vladimir's moment of anguished revelation: "Astride of a grave and a difficult birth. Down in the hole, lingeringly, the grave-digger puts on the forceps. We have time to grow old. The air is full of our cries." Nonetheless, I'd like to see the play on a quieter night, when I could focus on those silent, empty spaces where Beckett's meaning lies.

The Stokke Tripp Trapp Chair looks beautiful in your home. It can be used from your child can use a high chair and many years onwards, as the seat and the footrest are adjustable. I had one of these chairs as a child and still have it in my home as an adult. It is sturdy enough for an adult to use it (though it is definitely more comfortable for a child).
It comes in many beautiful colours, so there should be one to fit exactly your style and home. The seat cushions also come in many cute colours and patterns.
For a baby, you need to buy an additional baby seat to use the chair as a high chair and keep your baby safe. This is made from plastic, which I do not think looks very good with the chair (you do not notice the difference in materials much with the coloured chairs).
To sum up the good stuff:
- the chair is sturdy, can even be used by adults
- the chair can be used by toddlers and older kids so they can easily reach the table, even when they are still too small for adult size chairs
- the chair keeps your baby safe with all of the necessary equipment
- the chair is aesthetically pleasing
To sum up the "bad" stuff:
- the chair is pricey, especially when you need to buy a lot of extra stuff for using it with your baby
- the plastic seat for your baby is not as aesthetically pleasing as the rest of the chair
Buying the chair, the baby seat, a cushion and maybe a tray adds up. But the chair is study, can be re-used by younger siblings, and - most important of all - it is safe for your child.
Child number two will soon be ready for his very first high chair, which based on our previous experiences will be this Stoke Trip Trapp. His elder sister was the recipient of a donated plastic item from Ikea, which was fabulous but did not suit our decor. We did use a clip-on, travel chair for some time. That was fabulous but so very difficult to keep clean.
Our experiences with the Stokke trip trapp are as regular visitors and weekend guests at a friend's home. When I first noticed her chairs (she has two), I was advised that they are not only trendy and extremely functional but indeed the best wooden high chair currently on the market.
This chair is designed for family-style eating. That is, the child eats at the table and from the table rather than the more common tray that is attached to the high chair.
This stylish adjustable high chair is suitable for children from approximately six months old up until a medium-sized teen or a small adult. It is well built and designed so that it cannot tip over. There are two adjustable sections - the seat itself and the foot rest.
Our daughter is a of an age and size between my friend's offspring, so the seat requires adjusting whenever we visit. This is done easily, although when I do it I always take my time as I would hate for it to collapse.
The entire chair is made from wood which is easily wiped clean. There are several different shades/types of wood available.
Our daughter loved this chair when she was three years old, and still does two years later.
At around one hundred pounds this chair is not cheap however given that it is a family piece of furniture rather than plastic baby junk, it is worth it in my opinion.
Stokke trip trapps are the trendy wooden high chairs that everyone says are brilliant and you feel under pressure to buy! But actually you should buy it! We have a Stokke Trip Trapp and also two of the cheaper alternatives and the difference is clear. Stokke design is unbeatable. These chairs allow your child to eat/sit at the table with the rest of the family and are adjustable to allow them to use them for years (6 months upwards). Being such a simple design, they are easy to wipe clean and cushions can be taken off easily to wash. My only concern when purchasing the chair was whether my son would push against the table and tip it over backwards. Stokke have realised this is a concern and you can add feet extensions to the back of the legs to make it even more stable. Another advantage of the Stokke over the other similar high chairs available is that these are not as bulky. They fit under most tables when pushed in and take up no more space around the table than a dining chair. Stokke advise that the chairs also have health benefits (good posture). Stokke high chairs can be adjusted as your child grows (only need an allen key to adjust the hight of the foot rest) and should last for years. We are still using ours for our 5 year old and he still prefers it to any other seat.
There are a multitude of different high chairs available these days, but finding one that isn't plastic and garish can be tricky! I think that this one is perfect because it isn't plastic, and isn't too big - I think that it would fit in perfectly in anyone's house, regardless of their decorative style (this is helped by the fact that it is available in a number if different colours).
Stokke have thought of everything with this chair and so it can be used from the day that your little one is born until they are an adult; this is achieved by adding different accessories and rearranging the seating platforms. This is a lovely concept, one that makes this high hair unique.
I have so far only used this with the newborn set but an issue that I perceive is the depth of the seat when using it for a teenager/adult as I tried to sit on it and wasn't overly comfortable.
Assembling the chair wasn't too difficult - though I do recommend doing it with another!
This highchair - and I have had many, is brilliant. I really can't fault it for look or functionality. It is stylish and comes in a wide range of colours. Your little one can sit right up at the dinner table with the family. It is height adjustable and the seat and feet plinths can be adjusted to suit the child's height and the table height. You have to buy the strap pack separately and that does seem pretty pricey at £28. I wanted to have a spare set so I could have one set in the wash.
You can buy padded seats and baby attachments, but I did not have or see the need for these. All the extras do work out quite expensive and seem quite disproportionate to the cost of the actual chair itself.
My little one enjoys sitting in it and can now get up on it himself with little problem, and strap himself in! Luckily he hasn't managed how to undo the strap! I did read some reviews that have stated there is an issue with the highchairs falling back if a child pushs away from the dinner table with their hands or feet, but I did not come across this problem atall. You can buy a separate set of gliders to add to the base of the chair if you are worried about this.
The chair can last until the child is in their teens. You don't need to use the straps and can use the chair more like a normal seat.
The Stokke Tripp Trapp seems to be one of those items that are either loved or loathed. When asking for a recommendation for a highchair, the two names that invariably come up time and again are the pricey Stokke Tripp Trapp or, at the other end of the market, the IKEA Antilop.
When the time came to purchase a highchair for BabyWisp1, we were dissuaded from purchasing the Tripp Trapp and so ended up with a more traditional style highchair with padded seat and attached tray. Oh, how we regretted that decision as we time and again cleaned food debris out of the seemingly hundreds of cracks and crevices on the highchair and tray (and BabyWisp1 was by no means a particularly messy eater). We breathed a sigh of relief when he rejected the highchair in favour of a booster seat on a normal dining chair.
So when the time came for reviewing the baby items we had and those we might need to purchase before the arrival of BabyWisp2, we were united in deciding that the old highchair had to go and a Tripp Trapp take its place. I was even more convinced when I discovered that the Stokke had added a Newborn set to the range, enabling the chair to be used from birth. Remembering how awkward mealtimes had been with a tiny BabyWisp1, I was delighted that this new accessory would enable BabyWisp2 to be with us at the table from the start.
The Tripp Trapp is manufactured by Stokke, a Norwegian company. The chair was designed in 1972 by Peter Opsvik and the aim of the chair is to allow people of all ages to sit at the same table in the same natural position. There are various accessories which enable the chair to be used from birth (if desired), through babyhood, childhood and beyond. There is a repositionable footrest, which ensures that feet and legs are correctly supported and don't dangle mid-air like on a 'normal' chair and the seat is depth adjustable, to ensure that the users back is supported by the back rest. The chair evolves as the child grows.
The Tripp Trapp is currently available in 11 different colours, including natural wood finishes and some lovely vibrant colours, so you should be able to find a version that fits in with your existing furnishings. There have been other colours available in the past that may still be available through some retailers, or second-hand. The coordinating accessories to adapt the chair for the different stages are purchased separately.
So what do you get?
The highchair is delivered as a flat-pack and I was quite frankly amazed at the compactness of the box - barely bigger than the side profile of the chair itself and around 12cm deep, no extraneous packaging with this product! The chair is constructed from two side pieces which look like the number '7' flipped upside down, a flat seat and a horizontal foot-plate, both of which fit into the various grooves on the side pieces and a curved back rest. In addition, there are two stabilising metal bars and an additional piece of wood that fits between the feet. The pieces are all fitted together via the typical bolt and Allen-key method and assembly is fairly quick and can be done by one person.
Has it worked for us?
We have been using our Tripp Trapp for over 10 months now and used it with the 'Newborn Set' (essentially a reclining bucket seat which clips onto the frame for babies unable to sit unaided) and now with the 'Baby Set', which adds a back support and side rails to the chair and harness. The verdict in this house from the adults is a resounding 'fantastic product'. I particularly like the fact that BabyWisp2 has always been sat right up at the table during mealtimes from his earliest days and now he is also eating solid food, he eats at the table just the same as everyone else, rather than being pushed away by the bulk of a highchair tray. My husband is thrilled by the easy of cleaning - a quick wipe over with a cloth at the end of the meal and even the worst yoghurt adventure is dealt with easily.
As for the opinion of BabyWisp2 - well he is currently pre-verbal, but he is always happy to use the highchair.
But the Price...
Yes, the Tripp Trapp (plus the various additional age-appropriate 'sets' needed) is expensive but it will last a long time. My top tip is to do some research if you are intending to by new, as you should be able to find a good discount or a good package deal from online retailers. In addition, there is a thriving second-hand market via eBay, Gumtee, local selling sites on Facebook and similar, so there are bargains available, particularly if you are not very fussy about colour. The second-hand market is, of course, very useful if you decide to sell your Tripp Trapp (or the various sets as they become obsolete) on, although how much you make back will depend on condition and potentially location.
Summary: Certainly an expensive highchair, but worth the money as the chair evolves over time according to the needs of you and your child and it has great resale potential.
When I was pregnant there was no doubt in my mind that we would be getting a Tripp Trapp! Having known several families who have used them I already knew what amazing advantages they had over standard high chairs.
There are a number of reasons why I think they are so fantastic. Firstly, they are far from unsightly! They come in several colours so you can match them to your kitchen. We have a pine table and chairs so we went for the natural finish which matches perfectly. When not in use it can be pushed under the table tidily just like a normal dining chair. Which for me is definitely preferable to having a huge plastic high chair/tray combination that doesn't really fit anywhere - even when folded!
Secondly, your baby can sit up to the table with the rest of the family which I find much nicer, both from a social aspect and a practical aspect. I find that assisting them with feeding is much easier as they are closer to you. I have never found the fact that there isn't a tray a problem. The food can be put on the dining table just as easily as it can a tray and as the chair is of a minimalist design it is very easy to wipe down.
Thirdly, this chair has indefinite longevity. There is nothing babyish about how it looks so children are unlikely to refuse to sit in it because its for babies (my nephew still uses his at the age of 9). The two sides of the Tripp Trapp have grooves in from top to bottom. There are two pieces of wood that fit into these grooves, one is the seat, the other is a foot rest. The idea is that as your child grows you move the seat and foot rest down the grooves meaning that they are always sat at the perfect height for using the table, the depth of the seat and foot rest can also be adjusted. Think about it....you would usually stop using a standard high chair long before your child is able to sit on a dining chair and reach the table comfortably. With a Tripp Trapp you don't ever have that problem. And this doesn't only make meal times easier, but all the other things children do sat up to the table....play dough, painting, drawing, homework, etc. Eventually you stop using the foot rest and place the seat at the height a regular dining chair seat would be positioned and you have a chair for adults! Adjusting the chair is a 5 minute job, there are 3 screws down each side which you loosen with an Allen Key, then you slide the seat and foot rest out and slide them back into the new position.
Yes, the Tripp Trapp is more expensive than a lot of the chairs on the market, especially once you include the cost of the extras. But, this is a chair that can quite literally be used for life! It is certainly made well enough to last that long so in my opinion it is worth the extra expense.
In order to use it from birth you need to buy the newborn set (something I never bothered with). To use it from 6 months you need to buy a baby set and there is also the option of buying a cushion cover for the baby set. The baby set constists of a taller, more supportive back rest and a front safety bar with a leather strap to go between baby's legs so they don't slide out, this has changed in design since we bought it so I cannot comment on the new design but it looks very similar to the one we have used. The space between the bar and the back rest is quite small so baby is always sat up nicely. Some standard high chairs are very spacious so baby is constantly sliding down/laying back. This doesn't happen with the Tripp Trapp. Both my children began using the Tripp Trapp before they could sit unsupported and I found it supported them adequately. We were given a cushion cover but I don't think I would have bought one if not. We gave up using the cushion for the seat very quickly. Hopefully they have changed the design on the new baby set but with the set I had in order to remove the cushion for washing, the screws on each side of the Tripp Trapp had to be loosened and the front safety bar removed in order to slide the leather strap off the bar and through the hole in the cushion. Considering how dirty this cushion would get on a daily basis this design is absolutely ridiculous! This is my one and only BIG criticism of the Tripp Trapp. We did however use the cushion on the back rest as this was simple to remove.
We removed the front safety harness when my daughter was a little over 14 months. As I said, the space between the safety bar and harness is quite small and we found it was getting increasingly tricky to get her in and out. Instead we used a harness which was adjusted to be a very tight fit to the chair so she didn't have enough movement to fall off the seat. This worked very well and she quite liked the fact that she was able to climb up to the chair herself.
When I became pregnant for a second time, again there was no doubt in my mind that we would be needing another Tripp Trapp! So now both my children have matching Tripp Trapps.
I have used the Stokke Tripp-trapp for both of my children and have been very impressed with the product. I would happily recommend it to other parents, even though at over £100 it is one of the more expensive options on the market.
It comes in different types of wood finish, and various colours so you can match the chair to your décor and other furniture. When used with the baby set (available separately for around £20), you have a choice of different fabrics for the cushion too. These cushions, which fit to the back of the seat and the seat itself, provide comfort for your little one, although they do not provide any support. For this reason, the model of chair that I have is for use by babies that can sit up. However, Stokke now do a version with a 'from birth' attachment too.
Assembly is very easy, which is important as removing the cushions for washing involves loosening several of the bolts. It is all done with an allen key (provided), so it very simple and safe. The chair can be adjusted easily too, and provides a 'made to measure' chair for all stages of your child's growth. The chair is also sturdy enough to be used by an adult.
One negative aspect is the lack of a harness. It is easy enough to attach a harness yourself, but this does spoil the look of an otherwise stylish chair. Also, my children have both banged their heads on the side uprights. They are not sharp or angular, but in my opinion could be designed better in order to avoid this.
I first bought my Trip Trapp about 4 1/2 years ago for my first son. Before the Trip trap I had a Mamas and Papas high chair which cost over £100 but was the biggest and bulkiest piece of equipment I had ever seen. It was a huge mistake and led me to my new belief that baby items should not ever be made out of plastic! If they are steer clear! My desire for a new smart high chair, not made from plastic led me to the trip trap. A fantastic piece of furniture.
Back in 2006, when I bought my chair, the trip trap was available with a wooden baby set, which allowed babies from 6 months to use the chair. The entire chair is made from wood with adjustable seat positions which allows you to adjust the chair as the child gets bigger. The chair can then be used all the way up until adulthood. The wood is wipe clean and allows you to keep the chair in a spanking condition.
I have now started using the chair for my second son and it again is serving its purpose. I have never used the cushions so cannot comment on these however, I know they are now available. I have also discovered that there is also now an attachment which can be bought which allows you to use the chair from newborn. THis is a fantastic idea and one I wish I had discovered earlier.
The only gripe I have with the chair is that it can be hard to adjust however, I only need to do it once a year so it isn't really an issue. I personally don't think its that expensive as other plastic high chairs from reputable brands cost a similar amount. THis one is then ok for use for as long as you want it.
When my 2nd child was born, we were sill using our highchair with my 1st child, who wasn't yet quite big enough to sit in a proper grown up chair.
Luckily, a friend was about to get rid of a Stokke Trip Trap and gave it to us.
The Trip Trap is a very modern looking high chair. It is made of wood and comes in a variety of colours, mine is the beech wood colour. It measures approx 31 inches from floor to top of back rest and is 18 inches wide. It is surprisingly compact and takes up much less space than a traditional high chair. The shape of the Trip Trap can best be described as being like an upside down number 7
The Trip Trap has a back rest which is slightly curved for your child's comfort. It has a seating platform and a footrest platform which are both adjustable in height. The Trip Trap has little slats all the way down the legs, which either the seat or footrest can be put into, so you can have the seat and footrest as high, low, close together or far apart as you want.
Although I have not got the baby set for the Trip Trap, they are widely available to buy. The babyset gives you the option of having a security bar across the front of the chair, to stop your baby falling off. The chair has slots in the back rest and seat to allow the bar to be slotted in.
You can also buy a cushion set and harness to go with the chair.
The chair does not come with a tray as it's based around the idea that children should sit at the table from an early age. I personally prefer my young babies to sit in our other highchair with plastic tray, as they can dump as much food and liquids as they like on there!
My daughter started using this chair at around the age of 20 months. We did not use any attachments, so she sat in it, at the dining room table and once she had been warned to be careful not to wriggle around too much she got on fine with it.
The beauty of the Trip Trap is that it looks like a funky piece of furniture, rather than a piece of baby equipment.
My 2 eldest children are now big enough to sit in adult chairs, but we have no intention of getting rid of the Trip Trap. It's great as an occassional chair and we often have adults sitting on it. It takes an adult weight no problem.
The design of the chair means that it would be impossible for a child to tip it over backwards, but they have on occassion tried to use it as a ladder and had it fall on them from the front. However, with sensible use, this would not be a problem.
I do think this chair is expensive, at around £99 for the basic model, without any of the extras. However, if you plan to use it with more than one child, or could do with an additional adult chair it is probably worth the investment.
My husband wanted to buy the trip trapp and I have to say I wasn't convinced. Pay over a £100 for a high chair that is going to get covered in food, sticky stuff and juice and doesn't even come with a tray!
I started to change my mind at a baby show where I saw a fully grown man stand on one, it took his weight without any problems. Let me explain what else about this chair made it one of the best baby buys that we have made.
The trip trapp is well made, the wooden chair comes in a number of stains and colours that you can choose to suit your kitchen/dining room decor. It's ergonomic design is attractive and the chair is designed to slide on most surfaces rather than tip backwards.
It doesn't come with a tray, but this means that your child sits up to the table with the family and feels more a part of things. This chair has definately encouraged us to eat meals as a family as my children eat more when we are all together.
The chair is relatively easy to clean, but probably takes a bit more effort to clean than some other designs on the market.
The Trip Trapp grows with your child and is likely to be the only chair they will ever need - (useful for us as we only had two chairs to go with our very large table). For the first stage (baby) you will need the baby set that goes with the chair - this unfortunately does cost you extra, but comprises of a back support, baby bar and cushions to help your child to sit up comfortably whilst being fed - the cushions are machine washable.
As your child grows you remove the back support and cushions, we left the baby bar on the chair for quite a while as it helped keep our child at the table whilst eating, although they did figure out how to climb in and out of it eventually - enter Trip Trapp harness. Again this item is an add on, but you might not need it if your child isn't a climber.
The seat bottom and foot rest are moveable in the seat frame with the help of an Allan key, so as your child gets bigger and grows you lower the seat base and foot rest to accommodate them. This chair will seat an adult - i've sat on it and stood on it and it manages my weight (and after 2 children in under 2 years I'm not as light as I used to be!).
We have had our first chair for 2 years now and it still looks as good as ever, our child sits up to the table to eat, colour and paint, and drags to the sink to wash hands. That's right, we bought another one when we were having our second child, obviously just the chair on it's own as we already had all the add-ons.
If you are looking to buy one, shop around the prices vary alot - don't get sucked into over paying on ebay. I bought my second one earlier this year for £105 brand new - free delivery. It arrived flat pack within days - assembly instructions included, husband had it put together that night.
The best thing about this chair is it looks fashionable and does not make your dining room look like a nursery.
There is no humuliation or segregation for the child too. This may be the case with a stand-alone chair with his/her own table. However, with the Trip Trap, your child can dine with you. That's how it should be.
The chair promotes good posture and it's great that we can use it for many years.
It is very easy to construct and to dismantle if you ever need to move home.
The only disadvantage is that it is not that easy to clean and food does tend to go in every nook and cranny. We also have to put a large sheet on the floor to protect the carpet. I've seen other highchairs with things under the seat to collect food. It's a shame that the Trip Trap does not have something similar.
All-in-all, a fantastic purchase.
I have 2 children, both in highchairs and really wanted something that could be used at the table only rather than a great big plastic thing that stood alone. Really doesn't suit our home style at all. I was given the trip trap in Cherry wood from my sister in law, very grateful given it costs 135 pounds including the seat liner. Its simple by design and really tucks under the kitchen table neatly. I was a little worried that it would not be comfy for ,y 6 month old as it does look very minimal. My son LOVES it. its deign is such that he fits right up to the table with us and feels a real part of meal times. The unit is easy to move around one handed, and very sturdy as my little boy now likes to push onto the table to survey the amount of mess he has made on the floor!! The only real negative I would highlight is the additional seat cushion is a nightmare to get off for washing as you have to bend the wooden bar that crosses the front of the child to get it off which makes me think its going to break at any given time (It hasn't) It washes well in the washing machine at 40, and even tumbles. I would highly recommend this highchair, but it is a costly item. Worth it in my opinion. It really needs the additional cushion.
If you are a parent and looking for the best highchair for your little one, then look no further than this one. As I am someone who has looked after many children (in nurseries and as a nanny,) felt that when I had my first child I wanted things that would last him, and any others that may come along:-)
I have seen many products in the past that don't clean up well or break after a few uses. I therefore searched for hours to find products that I would happily buy myself.
The Tripp Trapp is the best one I feel you can buy, I bought it a while ago now for £125 which included the baby set (bar, leg strap, seat cushion and back cushion.) you get a choice of wood colours - rosewood, pine, natural, black, cherry, orange, lime, red, white, walnut and turquoise. Baby sets can be bought to match or mix two colours, harnesses and cushions come in a variety of colours to suit your tastes too.
The main aim of the chair is so your baby/child can sit up at the table with you, (there is no food tray) therefore encouraging your little one to join in with the family and feel a part of what is going on. The way the highchair has been designed means that it doesn't take up much space, depending on the height of your table, it can be pushed under when not in use, It is solid so won't tip over easily, unless your child manages to push hard with their feet, but you shouldn't leave them unattended.
The chair is pleasant to look at so doesn't have to be hidden away. The main design with the seat and foot plate is that they can be moved up or down to accommodate your child's size, encouraging them to sit up straight and with their feet on a base rather than hanging freely. Most highchairs I've seen, the child ends up sitting slouched or has slid down and ends up in a twisted position.
The wood is easy to clean, and the covers are washable, although it is harder to take the seat cushion off!!
When your child has grown up, you just remove the baby parts, and alter the seat accordingly; you can then use it as an additional dining chair for an adult to use, therefore getting your monies worth from it.
The only little niggling thing we have found through usage is that when you need to alter the seat or foot plate, you need the 'Allen key' and loosen most of the bolts before moving. This is also the case when removing the seat cushion.
I had a play with the seat today, as Toby can climb into it himself now, with only a little guidance from me, but gets his legs stuck one side of the leg strap. So I loosened all the bits, took the strap off, gave it a really good clean. (More than just a wipe over after each meal) and it looks just as good as the day we first bought it. Toby used it from around 7/8 months old and he's now 21 months, how many other things can you say you have got great use out of for this long and still looks like new?
I gave up with the seat cushion a while ago, as it just got too dirty, and the effort of fixing it and removing it was too much hassle.
I know the cost may put you off buying it, but I can assure you, its money well spent!
Thank you for reading
(originally posted on Ciao under my other name - nicolaks1. although this review has been added to and altered slightly)
Nicola xx 1/2/08
Whilst pregnant, I spent lots of time writing lists and lists of things my baby would need (I am sure all other pregnant lasies do this also!!)top of my list was somewhere for my baby to sleep!! I originally wanted a moses basket and a cotbed but pricing these up it seemed a bit silly to spend loads of money on a little bed that my baby would only sleep in for a few months....
...I then found the Stokke Sleepi Cot.
Supposedly shaped in a curved design as to represent the mothers womb, my first love of this cot was the look of the crib, it was small enough to be snug for a new born baby but then the whole thing then turned into a cot, then a cotbed, then a junior bed and finally into two armchairs - ingenius or what.
The thought that my child may trot of to university one day with 2 chairs that had been with her from birth sent my sentimental hormones raging and the decision to buy the stokke sleepi was made!! I have not regretted it.
Things I like about it:
1. the fab shape and design - looks great in the nursery.
2. the fact that it is an investment piece of furniture and it grows with your child, thus making the transition from cot to bed very easy.
3. the crib is a little bigger than your average moses basket and therefor lasts longer.
4. the cot will sleep a child up until the age of 2.
5. the junior bed will sleep a child up until the age of 10!!!
Things I don't like about it:
1. hard to buy bedding for
2. quite expensive
3. Instructions were a little complicated as there were no written instructions just pictures.
The Stokke Crib/Cot costs £500.00 from mothercare or daisy and tom, however I hunted about online and got it for £450 from www.twoleftfeet.co.uk they delivered within 2 days and it came with full manufacture guarrantee. for £450 I got the crib and mattress (the drape rod wasn't included but could be purchased extra) and the attachments to turn it into a cot with mattress. The conecting part to turn it into a junior bed (with mattress) and the chairs costs an extra £180 and you can buy this whenever.
When the whole thing arrived in two fairly compact boxes I wondered for a couple of days where the cot mattress was - I eventually contacted the supplier who explained that the matress was vacuum packed and rolled up tight in protective plastics for storage purposes.
I suppose that that is one of the drawbacks regarding the system as you have to store the next parts somewhere.
I was quite disapointed with the selection of bedding that was specially made for the crib (due to the curved shape) it was very thin, quite boring and not good quality - which is surprising as the cot itself is very solid and high quality. I ended up having my own bedding made for it to match the nursery, although I do believe that there is a wider selection of bedding available.
I suppose that it is a lot of money for a cot etc but when you add up the individual costs of alternatives, with mattreses it works out around the same.
My daugher has always been settled in the Stokke Sleepi and I can't wait to send her off to university with her 2 armchairs which have been with her since birth!!!! I know - I'm a sucker for sentimentality!!!

The wind didn't seem to bother the Valencia boys tennis on Tuesday as the Vikings beat the Golden Valley Grizzlies 16-2 on a blustery day at Golden Valley High.
Three days after losing 8-3 to Chad LeDuff in Valencia's Spring Smash, Brandon Yu got to take another crack at the Santa Clarita Valley's top singles player.
He lost 6-1 but his match against Valencia's No. 2 Joey Fernicola might have been the match of the day.
Fernicola took an early 5-1 lead against Yu but allowed him to rally to within a point before finally beating him 7-5.
"Brandon had some really great matches against Chad and Joey," said Valencia head coach Annie Kellogg. "Joey and Brandon's match was really close. It was windy all day but they were ripping shots all over the court."
Valencia's lead doubles team of Sam Rebele and Nick Joyce swept its sets as did its No. 2 team of Ravi Jayanthi and Nabor Cabanillas.
And even though his team lost, Golden Valley head coach Josh Stimac can see his team growth as it finds its confidence.
"There were a lot of close sets," he said. "I think our doubles teams were playing less cautiously today. They were going for their shots. They went out and played bravely today."
Valencia is now 2-0 in league play while Golden Valley is 1-1.
Hart 17, Saugus 1
Hart's doubles teams swept all nine of their sets over Saugus on Tuesday. The teams of Luke Distad and Michael Lange and Sam Delgado and Zach Killian only gave up one game each in their sets.
Hart's singles were led again by Elliot Miller, who won all three of his sets without losing a game. Cole Berlioz also swept for Hart, which is 1-1 in league.
The Indians will host Golden Valley on Thursday where Miller will face Yu in another matchup of two of the SCV's best singles players.
"The kids stepped it up today," said Indians head coach Chris Mansfield. "The matchup between Elliott and Brandon will be exciting. We're battling for playoff spots early in the season."
Saugus is now 0-2 in league play.
West Ranch 18, Canyon 0
West Ranch played with some new doubles lineups in its 18-0 win over Canyon.
Evan Yoon and Kevin Lin swept their doubles sets as did Logan Boute and his partner, Kia Aref.
In singles action, Lucas Ruiz won his sets, 6-4, 6-1, 6-1.
"It was a team effort today," said West Ranch head coach Eric Spiecker. "Everyone played very well. I'm happy with how we looked."
West Ranch improved to 2-0 in Foothill play while Canyon fell to 0-2.

The Nov. 2 election ballot in Santa Cruz County will ask voters to make a number of choices on candidates for local school boards.
In some of these school elections, the candidates are running uncontested. In others, such as the Pajaro Valley, the campaigns are hard fought.
While the Sentinel has made recommendations in almost all of the state, county and citywide elections on the ballot, we haven't made similar endorsements in the school elections -- mainly because we've been unable to meet all the candidates, and get answers on pressing issues such as school finance and school reforms.
Because of these limitations, we're unable to make recommendations in local school board races. You -- the voter, parent or adult student living in a particular school district -- know which candidates best represent your hopes for education. If you don't, then research the candidates using our online election resources at santacruzsentinel.com/elections.
In campaigns for two school boards that affect the entire county, however, we have been able to discuss education and budget issues with some of the candidates. Here are our recommendations based on these discussions:
For the Santa Cruz County Office of Education board of trustees, incumbent Aaron Hinde is our choice in Trustee Area 1, which covers San Lorenzo Valley, Bonny Doon, Davenport and part of Scotts Valley, over challenger George Martinez. While Martinez is a respected veteran teacher and union activist who has impressive ideas about education, we're a bit troubled by how politicized this supposedly nonpartisan race has become, especially with the heavy union and Democratic Party backing he's been getting. Hinde is a Scotts Valley businessman and parent who has done a good job of helping balance the county education budget -- and is endorsed by county schools Superintendent Michael Watkins.
The other seat is an even tougher call. Unfortunately, one challenger, Robert Chacanaca, who also has strong union and Democratic Party backing, did not return messages requesting a meeting with the Sentinel Editorial Board. Thus, we're recommending, with reservations, another first-time candidate, who did show up: Gina Locatelli, who, like Hinde, is endorsed by the local Republican party. She's a businesswoman and parent of a son with learning disabilities. While we're concerned about her potential ties to a conservative political agenda, she's done her homework and appears prepared to represent Trustee Area 7, which includes Corralitos, the unincorporated parts of the Pajaro Valley and even some of North Monterey County.
Two seats are up for grabs for the Cabrillo College board. The choices here seem clear-cut: Incumbent Alan Smith, an attorney who has been on the board for 16 years, is our recommendation in Trustee Area 6, representing Aptos and Corralitos; our choice in Trustee Area 1, San Lorenzo Valley and Scotts Valley, is Donna Ziel, a former associate director of student outreach and recruitment for San Jose State University. Both Smith and Ziel have the background and expertise needed in trying budgetary times for the community college system. Incumbent Gary Reece is running unopposed in Area 2.

Nomura analysts believe the markets are not yet expensive. There have been two key drivers of market performance from the bottom in early September 2013 significant improvement in the markets macro ecosystem and election-led euphoria, which does discount expectations of some pick-up in growth. However, the markets earnings multiple is still not expensive, in our view, Nomura said in its report No Longer Limping.
As per Bloomberg data, the Sensex currently trades at a price-to-earning multiple of 18.36, which is the third most expensive within the emerging markets.
Analysts add that a higher growth trajectory would lead to a re-rating of markets. Our new target is based on a conservative 12% earnings CAGR for FY14-17F (vs consensus at 15.5% earnings CAGR) and ~9% re-rating of the markets earnings multiple to 16.4x from the current 15.0x, Nomura analysts Prabhat Awasthi, Nipun Prem and Sanjay Kadam said in their report.
The Narendra Modi-led government is expected to reverse the growth slowdown. We note that sequential acceleration in growth for most data series started around the beginning of the year, and because most of these series include data until June/July when the Modi-led NDA government was a mere month-and-a-half old we expect to see this momentum picking up further in the coming months as the new government finds greater traction and becomes more confident with its mandate to reverse the growth slowdown, the report said.
The Sensex has gained 8.42% since Modi was elected PM on May 16, 2014. YTD, the BSE benchmark has gained 22.43%. Auto sector and industrials are expected to pick up in the coming days. We are upgrading our underweight stance on autos and industrials (infrastructure, construction and capital goods) to overweight, Nomura said.
Among other brokerages that have raised their target prices recently, Deutsche Bank sees Sensex at 28,000 by end of 2014. BofA ML has a more conservative target of 27,000 points by end of 2014. Ambit Capital sees the Sensex at 30,000 by March 2015.

The 22-year-old Danville woman has spent the majority of her young life in one form of community service or another, culminating in spending the next 27 months serving a little further afield than the Bay Area.
Porter will be living and working in Cambodia for the next two years, as a member of the Peace Corps.
"I first heard about it at Howard University," she recalled. "I was just floored. I had never even heard of it."
One of her business instructors had spent time in the Peace Corps during the 1960s and told the students about the experience. That same year, two volunteers who had returned from their two-year commitments came and spoke about it.
"After that I was pretty much sold. At 19 years old I used to tell my family, 'I'm going into the Peace Corps.' No one took me seriously. They all said, 'No, you're going to get a job, you're going to grad school,'" she recalled with a laugh.
Regardless, the thought remained crystal clear within the young woman's mind as she finished at Howard, getting a degree in business. After that it was time to start the application process.
"I had to go through a very, very arduous and tedious application process. It's kind of worse than applying to college," she explained.
Peace Corps Public Affairs Specialist Nathan Hale Sargent said there are a limited number of volunteer positions and the competition is fierce. Presently there are 7,876 Peace Corps volunteers serving in 76 countries.
The process took nearly a year from when she first applied, and required several background checks and letters of recommendation. But in May 2009, Porter received her invitation.
"I wanted to cry, jump, scream. It was just so amazing because it's been in the works for so long. This has been the one clear thing I've had in my mind for so long, to see it come to fruition is just amazing," she said.
Porter credits her parents with getting her involved at an early age. She recalled serving food with her family at Glide Memorial in San Francisco, fundraising for various charities, and even making backpacks for the homeless.
Mom Terri Porter said being a part of the community and taking part in service organizations is something they always did as a family, but she said it was obvious from the start that for JaNise the urge to serve went deeper.
"We raise them with the belief that if much is given, much is expected," she said. "JaNise kind of took it on as her personal mission in life. This was in the seventh grade. Even at Carondelet (High School) there was always the belief that you should give back."
JaNice echoes her mother's philosophy. "I'm extremely blessed. Two parents who support me in anything I do. A tight knit family, a good life here in Danville. So, I just think it's necessary."
While she is very proud of her daughter, Terri said she has misgivings about her being away in Cambodia for two years.
"We were at a family shower and she told me she'd figured out what she was going to do after college. I had a meltdown, saying, 'You've got to be kidding me!' We have always given back, but this was a whole different level."
Porter said what concerns her is that they don't know what the conditions will be where JaNice will be stationed. "There's a lot of unknowns. Her living conditions- she's going to be living with a family but she doesn't know if there's going to be electricity or Internet so we can talk," she said.
JaNice left in late July for assignment. She is spending the first three months living with a host family while she undergoes training for the role she'll play in the village where she is assigned. Part of the training will be in learning the Khmer language and part will be preparing for life in a village and the differences between Cambodian life and American.
"It's going to be very different," she said. "Cambodia is still developing. They don't have western toilets. No electricity or running waters in some places. That's going to be my experience."
After her three months of training she will spend the next two years working as a Youth Development Director, helping teach Cambodian children English as well as working in other areas. One area she expects to be teaching is HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention.
Despite the two-year commitment, Porter is already planning for what happens beyond that point. Graduate school at an East Coast university and then working. She added that being a part of Peace Corps has opened her eyes to more possibilities.
"Like becoming an ambassador to the United Nations," she mused. "Even to intern there you have to be in grad school. I guess we'll see."

The Big Year: A Tale of Man, Nature, and Fowl Obsession
By Mark Obmascik
Audible.com, download, unabridged nonfiction, nine hours and 49 minutes, $22.95, read by Del Roy. Also available abridged from Random House Audio, five CDs, six hours, $29.95, read by Oliver Wyman; or on four cassettes, $25.95, read by Mark Wyman.
There is almost nothing as satisfying as popping the latest book from a favorite author into the stereo and settling in for the evening. Except, perhaps, realizing that his latest audacious, fantastical adventure, ''The Well of Lost Plots," may just be the best in a growing series.
Set in about 1986, this is the third Jasper Fforde novel to feature Literary Detective Thursday Next. She landed herself in trouble while trying to save her husband from eradication in her last outing, ''Lost in a Good Book," and is now hiding from her enemies while awaiting the birth of her child. She takes refuge in the Well of Lost Plots, 26 subbasements of the Great Library, where all fiction is stored.
This is Fforde's most complex novel to date, filled with plots within plots within plots. His setup is a marvel. Next joins the Jurisfiction Character Exchange Program, allowing her to jump into a novel and fill in for the sidekick to a clichd detective in a trashy police mystery. She is supposed to rest there, but that soon proves to be impossible, since a ''mispeling vyrus" has been released into the Well, nursery-rhyme characters are on strike, the Minotaur has escaped and is hiding out with the cattle in a Zane Grey novel, and a murderer is stalking Jurisfiction police.
Fforde piles it on so thick that it takes quite a while to figure out the main plot, but once you get the hang of his complex worlds, you are in for quite the literary ride. Not one character from literature is safe. Heathcliff meets regularly for mandatory ''rage counseling" with the other characters in ''Wuthering Heights," and Lucy Deane from ''The Mill on the Floss" suffers from a ''repetitive character disorder" and must be regularly replaced.
Narrator Elizabeth Sastre, having also read ''The Eyre Affair" and ''Lost in a Good Book," has become Thursday Next, easily expressing her amusement, horror, and exasperation. Difficult names slip from Sastre's tongue without effort, and we have no trouble understanding the misspellings launched by the ''vyrus."
Aside from giving us something to laugh about in tough times, the Capitol Steps have kept comedy albums alive and well. ''Between Iraq and a Hard Place'' is their latest collection of songs and skits aimed at President Bush, his critics, Ted Koppel, environmentalists, Disney, and almost anyone or anything else of recent cultural relevance.
Most members of the group have worked on Capitol Hill and know their stuff. And they set that stuff to music. For instance, ''Korea" is set to the tune of ''Maria" from ''West Side Story," as in ''We learned there are nukes in Korea," while ''Condoleezza" is a takeoff on ''Mona Lisa." It is all funny, relatively inexpensive compared with most audiobooks, and provides new laughs on each hearing. The group's 24th album, ''Papa's Got a Brand New Baghdad," was scheduled for release yesterday.
Birding doesn't sound exciting. And the annual contest to spot the largest number of species sounds even less exciting. But in the hands of journalist Mark Obmascik, the race to be the best bird-watcher in North America, recounted in ''The Big Year," becomes an engrossing story.
Obmascik interviewed the three main contenders of 1998's Big Year contest: Sandy Komito, a contractor from New Jersey; Al Levantin, a businessman from Colorado who has the money and time to spend chasing elusive birds; and Greg Miller, a Maryland computer programmer who is fulfilling a dream with this quest. By the time the winner is announced, we have traveled with these men to British Columbia, New Jersey, Alaska, Massachusetts, and Texas. We get a little of the history of birding, including John James Audubon. Obmascik's descriptions are vivid -- a yellow rail is the ''Greta Garbo of the bird world" -- and he delves into the backgrounds of these men, and what drives them. It is also about the human need to conquer and categorize -- and crow.
Narrator Del Roy has a comforting, somewhat unusual voice. He sounds pleasant and a bit bemused. His voice is a little gravelly and not polished, which quite fits this audiobook. The unusual tale of three possessed men and the birds they adore needed someone who sounded a little quirky. Roy fit the (ahem) bill.

text: I have a picture, that because of the way the car is working, looks awesome and my friend is pumped and wants to enlarge it. I am wondering if there is a way through Photoshop to "blur" the background and keep the car and track around it in focus? I wish I could install the Photoshop that I spent all that coin on, on my Mac at least then I could fiddle with them better.. I also want to know, I see action shots all the time, with the background blurred and the car in focus, I know nothing about photography really, I just have an eye, can focus fast, and have decent gear... I have never been trained, or book learned anything, it's all been trial and error... LOL So the question is, how do I make that happen? I have it happen at night sometimes as the light fades, so it may be light related? But there must be a way I can set up the camera to have that effect? Any Idea's? Or anyone know of a good website for simple tips for photography... I may need to start reading to get the results I want now... LOL Here is the Picture I want to blur the background on... Made smaller in photobucket, I want to change the full sized orginal. Any idea if it can be done?

THE DOCTOR'S WORLD; Rise in Asthma Deaths Is Tied to Ignorance Of Many Physicians
By LAWRENCE K. ALTMAN, M.D.
Published: May 4, 1993
THE death rate from asthma has more than doubled since 1978 in the United States. And worried officials of the National Institutes of Health attribute the trend in part to the lack of education and training of the primary-care doctors who treat the overwhelming majority of asthmatics.
Dr. Michael A. Kaliner, chief of the allergy section at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, did not mince words in criticizing the medical care that most asthmatics receive and the lack of understanding by many doctors about new treatments for the disease.
At a news conference sponsored by the American Medical Association last month and in an interview this weekend, Dr. Kaliner said there was too wide a discrepancy between the care delivered by the 3,000 allergy and asthma specialists and that provided by the more than 210,000 primary-care doctors, like pediatricians, family doctors and internal medicine specialists in this country.
"No asthmatic should die, and if properly treated very, very few asthmatics would die," Dr. Kaliner said.
Primary-care doctors tend to underuse the specific treatments that allergists regard as the first line of attack against asthma, Dr. Kaliner said. He added that primary-care doctors tend to rely on drugs that provide only symptomatic relief for asthma and do not address the underlying triggers, thus leaving asthmatics at greater risk for death.
Rarely has a representative of the institutes so directly scolded a group of practitioners or medical educators as Dr. Kaliner did.
Yet even the American Medical Association, which is the largest organization of doctors in the country and which shares responsibility for overseeing the education and training of young doctors with several other organizations, said there might be something to the criticism.
The Association of American Medical Colleges agreed that the institutes were correct in calling attention to the gravity of the growing asthma problem, but disputed the criticism of medical education. "It's a false indictment," said Dr. Edward J. Stemmler, executive vice president of the association.
The medical association and Federal health officials describe asthma as the only chronic disease, except for AIDS and tuberculosis, that is on the rise throughout the world. Deaths from asthma have increased to nearly 5,000 a year in the United States, with an increase particularly among blacks and the elderly. For unknown reasons, more elderly women than men die from asthma. But with a death rate of 1.9 per 100,000 per year, according the National Center for Health Statistics, Americans still have one of the lowest death rates from asthma in the world.
The number of American asthmatics has risen sharply, to more than 15 million, a 66 percent rise since 1980, Federal health officials said. Blacks are hit hardest, and are three times as likely as whites to die from the disease. Asthma is the leading cause of admission of children to hospitals in this country and the leading cause of absenteeism from American schools.
Allergy is the most common underlying cause of asthma. But, Dr. Kaliner said, only half the medical schools in this country have an allergist on staff and most American doctors are taught little about the diagnosis and treatment of allergies in medical school and in residency training.
The American Academy of Allergy and Immunology in Milwaukee agrees. It found that 39 of the 124 medical schools in the United States did not have an approved graduate teaching program in allergy. The academy is surveying medical schools to identify the weak and nonexistent programs and to sponsor educational lectures at those schools.
Dr. Stemmler said it was an exaggeration to assert that medical schools did not teach about asthma because allergists might be based in divisions with other names.
But Dr. M. Roy Schwarz, senior vice president of the American Medical Association, said, "The allegation that physicians are not as well as trained in managing asthma as would be desirable probably has some merit."
Young doctors are taught much about asthma, but the instruction is often disjointed. "You could safely conclude that even with limited knowledge, we still do not do as good a job on it as we should," Dr. Schwarz said.
"It's easy to say there is a failure in asthma education," he added. "It's a lot harder to say how do you pick, in the limited time you have got in the curriculum, between emphasis on asthma and, say, prevention of tobacco use. How do you trade those off? What do you cover and how much?"
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by periodic attacks ranging from mild shortness of breath to terrifying wheezing, and in the worst case, sudden death.
One unknown about asthma is its cause. Another is why statistics have worsened despite major advances in the treatment, prevention and understanding of the disease. Asthma death rates have risen in many countries in recent years. In this country, the death rate among blacks and other minorities suggests that restricted access to health care may be a factor.

What do you guys think of this combo. buffalo horn handle, honduran rosewood spacer, green camel bone ferrule
What do you guys think of this combo. buffalo horn handle, honduran rosewood spacer, green camel bone ferrule
+ 1 on the interesting materials.
I think the spacer gets kind of lost, but as you know I always like a little "flash"!
Well done but would not be my combination of materials.
Looks really cool.
I think it's interesting, but not really my cup o' tea.
There's really nothing I like about that handle. It doesn't look clean. The horn part might work with other ferrules and spacers...
I think the handle and spacer look absolutely great, but the ferrule kind of just sticks out. Like dijon mustard on... steak.
I like it. I'm a wood guy but thinks it looks really cool.
I really like it, its very naturalistic and sculptural. Not sure your photo shows it off as nicely as it could. I guess it needs to be on the right knife.

FLY-HALF Dorian Jones has been told he has big boots to fill after making the move from Ebbw Vale to Cross Keys.
The 20-year-old will line up for the Swalec Cup holders in the Premiership rather than the Division One East champions next season.
Jones will follow the lead of his dad Kingsley, the former Wales skipper, in lining up for both Ebbw and Keys.
With Steffan Jones unlikely to be released from Newport Gwent Dragons duty very often next term there promises to be a battle for the start at fly-half.
Dorian Jones will attempt to wrestle the number 10 jersey away from Dean Gunter, who played a vital role as Keys won the first piece of silverware in their history at the Millennium Stadium earlier this month.
"It should be a great battle for the start between Dorian and Dean," said head coach Greg Woods.
"I don't think we will see much of Steffan and his are pretty big boots to fill after all that he has done for us over the last two seasons.
"But Dorian has a fantastic kicking game and has matured greatly with Ebbw Vale in the last few years.
"They have done terrific work with him and I know that the decision to leave was a very hard one for him.
"Their cup run (Vale were beaten on try count by Keys in the semi-final after beating three Premiership sides) showed that he can play at a higher level and I know that he is really keen to make an impression here."
Keys have added a pair of experienced Premiership campaigners to their squad in half-back Ryan James and tighthead Anthony Lott.
James returns to Pandy Park after a season with Newport while Lott, who made a solitary Dragons appearance in 2008's Anglo-Welsh Cup after impressing while with Ebbw Vale, signs from Bargoed.
"Both players will add real edge," said Woods. "We have brought in another strong scrummager in Anthony while we know all about Ryan's leadership qualities."
Also joining the ranks at Pandy Park will be Abercarn pair Sean Higgins and Leon Burgess, a lock and back row forward, and rapid Glamorgan Wanderers full-back/wing Elliot Jones.
The young trio all impressed on permit at the end of last season.
Meanwhile, the Scarlets confirmed yesterday that they have signed Keys lock Lewis Rawlins on an academy contract.

Watch Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters Movie Online
Watch Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters Online, Watch Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters Movie Online : I saw 2010's Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters: The Super Robber but for the lifestyle of me I don't keep in mind what happens and after viewing Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters I still can't item the whole of the first movie together(Watch Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters Online). However, the only essential information the viewers seems to need to know are 1.) Percy Jackson is the demigod son of Poseidon; 2.) Percy did something excellent in the first movie by capturing the Super Thief; and 3.) Henry (Jake Abel), the son of Hermes, is a bad guy. If there's more to know, I'm sorry but I'm at a reduction, not that it really problems. I could study my evaluation of the first movie as a refresher, but that seems like unfaithful kind of like how the studio room is unfaithful anyone that will pay to see this blunder.
Watch Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters Movie Free : An variation of John Riordan's second Percy Jackson guide, now around Fox has decreased further down the directorial steps, making Frank Columbus behind and choosing Resort for Pets and Journal of a Wimpy Kid helmer Thor Freudenthal to take a second cut at beginning a series flame, which should, at the very least, provide you with some concept of the viewers this movie is designed for. Be sufficient to say, logical considering, or any considering for that issue, is extremely looked down upon.
Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters Watch Online Free
Watch Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters Online : The tale follows Percy as he and his demigod group Annabeth Grover (Brandon T. Jackson) and his newly found, cyclops sibling Tyson (Douglas Smith) pursuit after Henry and his minions to obtain the legendary Fantastic Wool before Henry gets to it and resurrects Kronos (in situation you didn't get enough of him in Anger of the Titans) with the objective of overthrowing and ruining the Gods. Really, basically Henry has father problems that need working with.
Watch Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters Movie online : As a outcome, Sea of Monsters becomes an prolonged pursuit series, resulting in the titular location, which just so happens to be the Barbados Triangular. Will Percy and his buddies obtain the Fantastic Wool and preserve everyone or will Henry get it and Kronos will control once again, ruining the World and the Olympians in the process? Oh, the stress is too much to bear!
Watch Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters Online : The levels are nil and the choices that are created are useless. At once we observe as a exceptional sea equine must be called to take Percy and buddies out to Luke's luxury boat, but later we understand Percy can call for a tidal trend and drive it wherever he is very pleasing to. Oh, I was also advised the kids of Poseidon are endowed with the capability to cure through get in touch with with h2o when injured, don't ignore that little factoid while you observe.
Download Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters Movie : At one factor Percy cuddles his sibling for a strong 20 a few moments where in that same period of your energy and effort he could have avoided an whole series of awful activities from going on. It's frustrating and no shock the program was published by Marc Guggenheim whose most latest initiatives consist of Natural Lantern and X-Men Origins: Wolverine. How anyone could have study this program and believed Yup, we got it! is beyond me. Films such as this should not be created and yet they keep go into manufacturing every day as if it's a task to see which studio room can spend the most cash.
Watch Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters Movie Free : I experience sorry most for Logan Lerman who once again experiences under the bodyweight of such a tedious personality. Lerman had a bit of a splitting out time last season with The Advantages of Being a Wallflower and fortunate for him this movie won't be seen by enough individuals to stop his profession as he has Darren Aronofsky's Noah next on his launch schedule along with Bob Ayer's Rage.
Watch Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters Online Free
Watch Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters Movie Online : On the other part of that, Mike Abel has now been engaged in two of the seasons most severe movies, this and The Variety. He's a bad guy's Kevin Bread who comes off as if he's trying to be Kevin Bread in contrast to developing his own identification.
Watch Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters Online : The probability of developing a movie series is something companies search for, but they are reluctant to put the perform in to create them effective. They search for the services of hackers to skin out their scripts and the outcomes are hardly ever worth the phrase "mediocre", a term Sea of Monsters desires it certified for. This is a absolutely travesty with little to no redeeming value at all. The simple reality it has a few elegant visible outcomes is no messiah for the awful reason of a movie it truly is.
