Hi girls,
I was wondering if anyone has had the same issue as we are having with our swift wheels/tyres? Loads of punctures and when fixing the puncture i have had to put the tyre back on the wheel and damaged the tyre, the rubber came away from the metal and now my pram has a wobble when pushing. I have purchased a new tyre and want to get that put on so i can use the pram again. Anyone ever filled their tyres with foam or anything to stop the actual puncture as i cant keep having my pram out of action? Its a great pram, nothing wrong with it i dont want to sell it, but its getting to the point where im thinking of selling just so i can get a different pram. So if anyone has any ideas please let me know. spottydog. #2Posted 11 January 2013 - 11:17 AM
We have an old MB Urban but never had problems with punctures etc. It is from 2004 though, so will be checking the wheels soon for the next batch of use expected.
#3Posted 11 January 2013 - 12:01 PM
Have you replaced all the tyres? If you have and they are still getting punctured, then maybe it's related to how you're using it? You're not exceeding the weight limit are you?
I have a 2007 Urban (NZ model). I bought it 2nd hand, and I have changed the tyres once. I do have to pump them up occasionally but they don't get punctured. #4Posted 11 January 2013 - 12:09 PM
2010 urban here, china-made and never had a puncture. Had to pump up a few times, thats it.
And i take gutters roughly and drive it pretty hard off road. #5Posted 11 January 2013 - 12:10 PM
How high are you pumping the inner tube? The wheels say 35 psi but the guy at our bike shop told us inner tubes at that size are very sensitive and not to go above 25. We haven't had a problem since.
#6Posted 11 January 2013 - 12:14 PM
Have a 2011 Chinese made one and the tires are a piece of sh*t!!!! The more I have investigated, the more I have discovered bad reviews for the new mb tires
#7Posted 11 January 2013 - 12:49 PM
Thanks everyone,
Its a NZ one, from 2009. We dont pump up the tyres too much, and they are defenatly punctures from things like thorns or glass etc, we generally use it at the shops, a day out to the park etc. DD was 15kgs last time we used it and wasnt being overloaded. I think we were just unlucky. I have only bought one new tyre and two new inner tubes I think i may take it to a bike shop to get the new tyre fitted and if i get more punctures pop into the bike shop and have them replace it for me, as it was too expensive to buy a new tyre, (the metal from the inside of the tyre is what came away if that makes sense. Thanks. #8Posted 11 January 2013 - 12:55 PM
I have a 2010 china one and never had a problem. Only had to pump the tyres up once in that time.
#9Posted 11 January 2013 - 01:05 PM
I wonder if i should just see how i go? If i get punctures ill sell it lol and move on.
Maybe it was just bad luck. 1 user(s) are reading this topic0 members, 1 guests, 0 anonymous users |

Venstar ColorTouch Firmware 3.12 Update Delivers New Runtime Graphics, Enables Temperature and Humidity Email Alerts
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) CHATSWORTH, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 04/09/14 -- Venstar®, a leading thermostat and energy management systems supplier, today announced the release of its new Firmware 3.12 update for its ColorTouch® residential and commercial color touch screen, programmable thermostats. This update delivers practical new enhancements to the industry's top-ranked residential and commercial thermostat, including new updated runtime graphics and bandwidth-saving features as well as temperature and humidity email alerts.
"At Venstar, we are dedicated to giving ColorTouch users an easy upgrade path to the latest, most innovative features with firmware updates. This allows our current ColorTouch users to enjoy all the new features of the latest ColorTouch thermostats simply by downloading a convenient firmware update," said Steve Dushane, CEO of Venstar. "Venstar is committed to continually creating new technology to ensure that ColorTouch users, installers and contractors always have the very best in indoor climate control." Updated Runtime Graphics Enable Users to Easily View Energy Usage Updated runtime graphics give users an instant view of runtime statistics on the ColorTouch screen. Runtime graphics enable users to easily view and evaluate energy usage so they can consider conservation options. Understanding energy patterns gives users the opportunity to decrease energy costs.
Users can view heating or cooling runtimes by stages. Being able to view runtime information allows users to determine if there are excessive runtimes, which can indicate that it may be time for equipment maintenance. Having easily accessible runtime information helps users determine that their HVAC equipment is working efficiently.
Temperature and Humidity Email Alerts Advise Users of Possible Issues ColorTouch users can now get temperature and humidity email alerts, which allow users to be aware if temperatures go too high or too low, even when they are away from home. Having the ability to get temperature and humidity alerts gives homeowners the peace of mind that their home is comfortable and safe for their visitors, kids, pets, and plants.
For temperature alerts, an email will be sent to the designated email if the temperature exceeds pre-set parameters. For example, if the temperature rises or drops below a specified number, the user will receive an email alert.
For humidity alerts, an email will be sent to the designated email if the humidity exceeds pre-set parameters. For example, if the humidity rises or drops below a specific percentage, the user will receive an email alert.
New Weather Feed On/Off Switch Allows Users to Lower Costs Live weather information is a practical feature of ColorTouch thermostats. At a glance, users can instantly see the outside weather and the forecast. However, sometimes data can be a cost issue. For example, at a remote vacation home, the user may have to pay for data used. With this upgrade, users can now turn the weather feed information off so they are not charged for this data use when the home is unoccupied.
Additional Comfort Features of the ColorTouch Thermostat One-touch Home and Away Buttons for Convenience and Energy Savings: For residential ColorTouch thermostats, new "Home" and "Away" buttons make it easy for users to instantly set their ColorTouch thermostats to pre-set settings with just one touch. Users simply press the "Home" button when they arrive home, and the ColorTouch instantly goes to the pre-set occupied, comfort settings.

Is that horsemeat in your hamburger? Grocers turn to DNA testing
Troubled company Tesco to start tests; other chains could follow suit.

Share via Email
DUBLIN—Horsemeat might not be bad for you to eat, but it's definitely bad for sales of products labeled as beef.
But Ireland's surprise discovery of horsemeat traces in many factory-produced burgers is boosting business for one trade: Forensics labs able to use DNA fingerprinting to tell pig from fowl.
Until now, supermarkets and food processors have not employed DNA testing of their meat products to confirm whether there are traces of other species in products marked as chicken, pork, beef, lamb or fish. That's because such findings have no bearing on food safety, only the integrity of labeling.
But a string of food processors and retailers say they're planning to introduce such testing after the Food Safety Authority of Ireland — determined to confirm whether food labels on meat and fish are honest and accurate — has used DNA testing to show that "pure" processed meat products often contain traces of other animals slaughtered in the same facilities or carried in the same vehicles.
Worse, the agency's testing found that bargain-brand burgers produced at the Silvercrest food processing plant for sale by British supermarket king Tesco contained up to 29 per cent horsemeat, a revelation that government and Silvercrest officials eventually pinned to a powdered "filler" ingredient imported from Poland.
Tesco, which saw its shares slump following the news, announced Wednesday it will become the first supermarket chain to perform DNA tests on its meat products.
"These checks will set a new standard," Tesco, the largest grocer in both Britain and Ireland, said in a statement. "We want to leave customers in no doubt that that we will do whatever it takes to ensure the quality of their food and that the food they buy is exactly what the label says it is."
Industry analysts expect other supermarket chains in Britain and further afield to follow suit, because the cross-contamination detected in Ireland is likely to happen in processed meat products worldwide.
"This sort of species testing simply has not been done in other nations. It looks like that's going to change," said Patrick Wall, the professor of public health at University College Dublin and former chairman of the Food Safety Authority for the 27-nation European Union.
Beef is Ireland's No. 1 food export, and Tesco is Ireland's No. 1 customer, accounting for nearly one tenth of the country's annual €1.9 billion ($2.5 billion) in beef exports.
Silvercrest supplied most of the supermarket chains in Ireland and Britain. After the Irish findings that more than one third of its burgers contained horsemeat traces below 0.1 percent — and one batch of Tesco burgers contained 29 per cent horsemeat — Silvercrest withdrew about 10 million burgers from those stores. It suspended operations once a second round of DNA tests found more horsemeat traces in recently produced burgers.
In a statement Silvercrest's parent company ABP Foods said it understood Tesco's decision and said it had already decided to begin its own practice of random DNA testing of products at all its facilities in Ireland and Britain. Other Irish processors say they, too, plan to follow suit.
Food policy experts say meat labels may eventually be changed in many countries to reflect the kind of warnings already familiar for people allergic to nuts: This beef product may contain traces of other animals.
Wall said consumers shouldn't be unduly unsettled by the Irish findings, which included results showing that most cheaply produced "beef" burgers also contained minute elements of pork. He said such molecular transfers were almost impossible to prevent though, until now, they hadn't been measured.
"People need to understand how sensitive these DNA tests are," Wall said. "This thing will pick up molecules. So if horsemeat traveled in a refrigerated lorry one day and beef was carried in it the next day, molecules would travel over. If horsemeat was boned out on a premises, and if beef was subsequently boned out, you could get carry-over of molecules."

RBS in the firing line as Lloyds boss waives his bonus
Antonio Horta-Osorio will not take payment of up to £2.38m while customers and shareholders are suffering
The chief executive of taxpayer-backed Lloyds Banking Group will take no bonus for 2011, piling pressure on rival bankers including Royal Bank of Scotland's Stephen Hester to heed the Prime Minister's recent call for fat-cat pay restraint.
Antonio Horta-Osorio, who went on two months' sick leave at the end of last year after suffering from exhaustion, could have been in line for a bonus of up to £2.38m. But he has turned it down because, he said, customers and shareholders are suffering.
He told the board of Lloyds, which is 41 per cent-owned by the taxpayer, that he does not want to be considered for an annual bonus.
Mr Hester could be in line for an £8m payout this year after receiving £7.7m last year. But after announcing almost 4,000 job cuts this week, he has been widely called upon to show self-restraint.
Mr Horta-Osorio said: "I believe my bonus entitlement should reflect the performance of the group but also the tough financial circumstances that many people are facing.
"I also acknowledge that my leave of absence has had an impact both inside and outside the bank, including for shareholders. On that basis, I have decided to request that the board does not consider me for a 2011 bonus."
Under the terms of his contract, he was entitled to receive up to 225 per cent of his annual pay of £1.06m as an annual bonus. But given Lloyds' share price has more than halved in the last year and that annual profits will be below the £2.2bn it made in 2010, Mr Horta-Osorio was never likely to get the maximum bonus.
However, his decision to waive his payout will put pressure on other chief executives, particularly those at rival banks, to consider what rewards they accept for last year. At the height of the banking crisis, Barclays' then-chief executive John Varley and his successor Bob Diamond waived annual bonuses. Mr Hester followed suit, refusing his 2009 deal. That forced a reluctant then-Lloyds chief Eric Daniels to follow suit.
Mr Horta-Osorio said: "I joined Lloyds Banking Group to rebuild the pride in the bank. My goal remains to restore the bank to profitability enabling us to support the country's economic recovery sustainably and giving taxpayers the opportunity to get back their money."
A spokesman for Lloyds denied he had come under any political or boardroom pressure. He added: "Antonio recognises the general concern that there is about executive remuneration at a time when much of the country is struggling."
Sir Win Bischoff, the chairman of Lloyds, said: "Under Antonio's leadership, the bank made significant progress last year in its transformation against a very difficult economic backdrop. However, given the economic circumstances, the financial challenges that many people are facing and his recent leave of absence, Antonio felt it appropriate not to be considered for any award he might receive under the group's annual bonus scheme for 2011. The board has accepted Antonio's request."
Lloyds said it would determine other directors and executives' pay and bonus levels in the next month.
Bankers Who Said No
Lloyds: Antonio Horta-Osorio: £2.4m (2011)
RBS: Stephen Hester: £1.6m (2009)
Barclays: Bob Diamond: £4m+ (2008, 2009)
Barclays: John Varley: £2.9m+ (2008, 2009)
Lloyds: Eric Daniels: £2.3m (2009)
HSBC: Michael Geoghegan: £6m (2008, 2009 inc. £4m charity donation)

I have a better idea...
how about, instead of making crappy remakes or stupifying people's childhood, how about making something original? Is it that hard? Or is Hollywood just dumb now? There are a lot of other properties to jump start into a movie, and there are a lot of creators that could put the past to shame. Stop destroying our childhood and make something new! |

What? something original? Hollywood doesn't know the mean of that word. The only reason why I'd like to get a remake is to get some new toys, but that's about it. |

And thus Voltron has been spared from becoming a shitty live action movie.
However, Voltron, as simply being a mash-up of two different, unrelated anime, still doesn't have any integrity in the first place that it stood to loose from said shitty film being made. Unlike, of course, Dragonball which is an all time classic and a rather legendary manga/anime. Which, as most people know is set to be anally raped early next year by incompetent filmmakers, and ignorant, money-hungry, idiot Hollywood executives that don't care about mutilating an influential anime classic and utterly destroying it's legacy as long as they can try and bleed a few dollars from the anime turnip. Which, hilariously, will only cover 40% of what it cost to make, anyway. So yay. Voltron, which was an American creation made possible by senslessly hacking up and merging two different shows, well over 10 years ago has been spared from being made into a horrible film. Woohoo? Honestly? Big freakin' whoop. Dragonball stands to lose a lot more than Voltron ever did. Same as Speed Racer did, and same as other moderately popular titles will, along with any other property that the rabid Hollywood dogs are eying like cowering sheep for the kill. What really gets me is that we're unable to put a stop to this. The way Hollywood keeps stating it's intention to keep going to the anime well to steal ideas and licenses from. It's like watching random members of your family be slaughtered by wolves, every couple of months. And then, they have the nerve to expect this very same kind of thing to become a huge success by insulting their expected fanbase and slapping them in the face. And get all shocked when these films do horribly at the box office and lose their precious (and apparently disposable) millions. They refuse to learn from their idiotic mistakes, and we're the ones who really suffer, watching our favorite things be disgraced and turned into worthless garbage in front of us. Over and over and over. I don't know when the madness will end, but apparently when Dragonball becomes the biggest box office bomb in the last 10 years, they'll still be planning to "adapt" 30 other anime, and make 4 Dragonball sequels. It's the epic injustice of it all that gets to me more than anything else. Last edited by KarmaRocketX on Tue Nov 18, 2008 6:27 pm; edited 3 times in total |

Yeah, I don't get what's going on with that. If WEP contracted with Toei for the American release, and then a third party is trying contract rights, then how exactly Toei is having to get the bad end baffles me. |
Back to top | ||||
Tempest ANN Publisher & CEO Posts: 8602 Location: Do not message me for support. |
WEP believes that, due to prior contract, it has the right to produce and/or sell the rights to produce a live-action Voltron. They believe that TOEI's actions have been incorrect and have cause WEP to lose revenue. Therefore they are suing to 1) get the rights cleared up so that they can continue with their plans 2) possibly get financial restitution for lost revenue. Basically, the way WEP sees it is this, "TOEI sold us specific rights, and now they're interfering with our attempts to legitimately capitalize on those rights, so we're suing them." The way TOEI sees it is "We sold WEP specific rights and those don't include the right to make a live-action movie. They should talk to us before proceeding." -t |

In other words, both parties are too big-headed to settle this out of court and actually clarify what each party's contracts say. How lovely. |

Well, supposedly the script for Voltron is supposed to be excellent. I've read a script review on one site that said it would be phenomenal. Here's the link: http://www.latinoreview.com/script-reviews/?id=65
I mean, I'm a fan of live action adaption in general, so maybe I'm not the best to be saying this, but I'd actually like to see this. Hopefully, the law suits get sorted out and the movie continues to be made. |

A great win for RSL. The defending wasn't good in the first half, but RSL settled down after the goals and was able to absorb the pressure. LA had good chances, but RSL did just enough to win.

After 70 years, sword given to soldier during WWII goes to Hungarian Embassy
tags: World War II, Hungarian embassy, Hungarian Revolution...On Friday, Young and several of his relatives gathered at David and Patricia Young's residence, set to fulfill Guiffre's request by giving the sword to Hungarian officials in a ceremony at the Hungarian Embassy in Washington. An event after the ceremony honored the 165th anniversary of the Hungarian Revolution and Freedom Fight in 1848-49.
Andras Szorenyi, political and public affairs officer with the Embassy of Hungary, said in an email the saber is a ceremonial sword that dates back to the 19th century, and is therefore an important part of Hungarian history.
"The experts need to do further research to link it to a specific event or period of time but we appreciate the symbolic value of receiving it from Mr. Young," Szorenyi wrote. "It is a good example of the excellent people-to-people relations between our countries. ... We will do our best to find the most fitting venue for the sword to be displayed and contribute to telling Hungarian history."...

Comments about Jessica London V-Neck Sweater In Ribbed Cotton:
I purchased this sweater in several colors to add to my winter wardrobe. I love the fit, however the sleeve length may vary. On a few of them, the length of the sleeve is perfect. On the other two, the sleeve length is a bit short. I will keep them, because I bought them on sale. I also love the colors I bought: Black, Orange Spice, Strawberry, and Green

By Power Shopper

I loved the sweater when I first tried it on, but after one washing (in cold water and air-dried) the sweater was too small. I would recommend buying one size larger than your normal size. I can't say anything about the comfort of it as I never had the chance to wear it!
Nice Sweater
By Picky Shopper
from Windsor, CT
This is a nice sweater. I love the color I chose (pink). The length is perfect for me, as I am tall. You could dress this up with a scarf for a date night or for work. The only drawback is that it loses its shape and becomes a little stretched-out looking (as with most cotton sweaters). Otherwise nice, especially right after washing.
By Barb
from Pittsburgh, PA
Way tighter, and somewhat shorter than I expected. And I sized up, in recognition of the fact that it is ribbed. Can't even wear til I lose some weight. Color and fabric are nice, though.

V-Neck Sweater in Ribbed Cotton
By Oxysmoron
from Cincinnati, Ohio
Love the colors, and the feel of the fabric. I would wash this in cool or cold water, and dry on low heat. It will shrink if I let it dry completely, so I only dry it on low for about 10 minutes and take it out to hang dry. I wear these under sweater vests, or tuck them inside slacks and wear a button down cardigan. I have not had any problems with bleeding color or fading.
Not all that.
By curvy gemini
from Florida
The color is awesome. I washed the sweater but did not use the dryer to dry it, I never do for my work clothes. It is just so much thinner than I expected it to be for the money. It did not keep it's shape very well either

Cal sophomore Anderson will try NBA draft
BERKELEY, Calif. -- Cal sophomore forward Ryan Anderson, a first-team All-Pac-10 selection who led the league in scoring, announced Thursday he has made himself eligible for the 2008 NBA draft. He will not sign with an agent, leaving him the option of returning to Cal for his junior season.
Anderson, who averaged 21.1 points and 9.9 rebounds, set a school record for most points by a sophomore with 697. He also became the first Cal player to have 600 points and 300 rebounds (328) in a season.
"I am excited to have the chance to see where I stand in the eyes of NBA scouts," Anderson said in a news release. "This is a great opportunity for me to get out there and get feedback on my game and see what I need to work on to improve myself as a player. I am still attending classes, so this will not affect my standing at Cal; I will use the information I gain from this experience to make a more educated decision on my basketball future."
Anderson has until June 16 to withdraw his name from draft consideration, should he choose to do so. Until then, he can work out for NBA teams at his own expense. The 2008 draft will be held June 26 in New York.
