IBEROSTAR Torviscas Playa
Our guests reviewsIBEROSTAR Torviscas Playa
Steven Bould says: 10 months
"Firstly there are too many people to thank I will name individuals where appropriate though. The grounds as usual were immaculately kept with the gardens and poolside cleaned everyday. I personally saw the cleaning ladies cleaning the toilets several times a day and the pool area tidied before the sunbathing commences. I would like to thank, particularly Elizabeth in the outside bar who had a happy smile every time I went for a drink(which with the temperature high)was quite often, although all the staff were very good. In the restaurant the food was of high quality, there has been an improvement over the last three years so congratulations on that. There are several people in the restaurant I would like thank, in no particular order Borja, Carlos V and Hugo their patience with my passable Spanish was greatly appreciated and their obvious delight with children also appreciated. Again we did not have a bad experience in the restaurant. At check in there were no problems and after a short wait our room was ready, the room was cleaned to a high standard every day so again thanks. My son who is 5 used the Mini club and really enjoyed his time with Kesha and Anna, special thanks to them from Seb. He also had a good time at the Mini disco with Starkey who I also had the great pleasure of guesting as. I have here a particular example of why I enjoy going to the Torvisca Playa, on our first full day I met, again, after last year Martina who not only remembered us but said this" welcome home" if you have any problems I will do my best to sort them out for you. Not very. Often does this happen and it was a great relief although I did not expect there to be one, and finally thanks very much to Dani who also remembered us and made my son Seb especially welcome, although this does not surprise me after seeing the way he made all persons welcome with his infectious personality. That saying the other people at the poolside were great too. Please pass on our gratitude for a great holiday to all of the wonderful staff I am deeply sorry that I cannot remember all of their names but we did not have a complaint with any of them. Hasta luego Steven"Rating: 10,0

Overall good but need simple improvements, don't impose take the guests views into accounts make changes accordingly on an ongoing basis.
"The hotel has very good features and many good staff. The let down was by some reception staff who unfortunately have an attitude problem and if only they listened carefully to the guests request and communicated properly the services would improve considerably, with very simple changes. Whilst the restaurant facilities are excellent and generally the food offering is good the specific requirements of vegetarian guests was not fulfilled properly the dishes were wrongly marked as vegetarian when the clearly contained meat,this is very serious point as the hotel must make every effort to respect people's moral requirements, note other hotels of similar and higher star rating have easily met the requirements, we travel every year and have visited many hotels all over the world. Offering of snack in between meals must improve, you only offered sandwiches tuna and cheese and ham nothing for vegetarian!!"Rating: 7,0

Well Worth A Visit
"This was our second visit to this hotel, which was even better than the first.The staff are excellent and cannot do enough for you. We stayed in a junior suite this time which was on the sixth floor and was well worth it. Lovely and clean, plenty room, comfortable bed, air conditioned. Our thanks go to Rosario who made everything extra special with all the neat towel decorations and snacks.The tray of fresh fruit and water we received every day was beautifully laid out and much appreciated. The rooftop pool was immaculate and nice and quiet apart from one day. A family of seven managed to get in by mistake and made far too much noise. We did report it but no one came. I would suggest that children under the age of ten are not allowed in this area. There were a couple of other children. But they were well behaved and their parents kept them under control. The entertainment in the hotel was very good and the waiters worked so hard bringing everyone their drinks to the tables. Even if you were sitting in the upstairs or pool bar. The staff were round to see what you wanted to drink. Excellent service. The restaurant was very nicely laid out and if you couldn't find something to eat. Then you shouldn't go to a hotel. Food was always hot and very nicely presented. Tables were cleared in no time and were always well cleaned. Plenty to do and lots of shops nearby. We loved our holiday so much, we have booked up for October and also for next August. Thank you so much Iberostar."Rating: 10,0

60 year old woman | Boonville, IN, USA | Seeking men 47-60 within 100 miles
Enough about me, let's talk about you. What do you think about me? Enjoying and exploring new opportunities, want to join me?
Independant, but dependable-loyal and moral kind of girl looking to find a partner who wants to have fun and experience new adventures. I am proud of my son and his family, and daughter. Both have educations and careers that make me proud of their achievements. I am grateful for their independence but also their closeness and time spent together. Family time is fun and entertaining when they are around. Also grateful for healthy parents who are both active and still here to join in family fun. My upbringing and values come from family and I am grateful for my experiences in the earlier years of family life. My hobbies include outdoor activities like gardening, hiking, walking, horseback riding, and anything to be in nature. On rainy days I can sit on the front porch swing and read, or in front of a winter fire and relax with a board game, or watch a good movie with some freshly popped corn and a partner to laugh with. I would like to find someone that is free to have intelligent conversations and discussions about life and life experiences. I would like to explore what life has to offer in a variety of ways. I would like to find an honest, ethical, trustworthy man with moral values that is looking for a partner to share life, and is open to new opportunities to make friends and possibly find a partner worth making future plans.

I like Horses
If you are interested in me, you must love dogs, as I have 2 rather large canines. They watch over my home when I am away. They alarm me when someone comes up the drive. Good to have around and great company.

Being with family, hanging out, 4 wheeling, kayaking, boating, hiking, live music, dancing, traveling and exploring new places, sitting by a fire-and more.
Anything out doors is fun for me, from boating on the lake, and laying in the sun, to hiking in the woods on a snowy day. I am creative, like to cook and do artwork in the form of creative crafts and decorating. I also like to garden.
Daily devotions, Women who do too much, The Shack, Oprah, design books. Don't sit much to read a lengthy book.

One of the accusations often leveled at Apple over the years is that anything over the basic model often costs an arm and a leg. The cost of an essential item like Office or Photoshop was so expensive that many would rather hunt up a dodgy copy rather than forking out hundreds of dollars to Apple for the privilege of using the original. Things have changed dramatically in recent times however - seemingly due to the immense popularity of iPhone and iPad devices. Nowadays, there are a heap of different Office styled apps available for iOS as well as its ... Read more
There's been plenty of talk over the years about the cashless society. In an ideal world we would just need a swipeable card in our wallet or purse rather than having our pockets full of cash and coins. Unfortunately, the concept has stumbled over the last few years for a number of reasons. First and foremost being the reluctance of small business to get involved in yet another complicated piece of technology not to mention the fees - some hidden - that can be charged. However, with most of us owning a smartphone nowadays, the opportunity for anyone and everyone ... Read more
Over the years, the FeedMyApp review team has reviewed 1000's of apps - many of which have gone some way to making our lives simpler and easier. Business apps, in particular, have gone from strength to strength during this time, but have changed slightly over the period. In the early days of the app revolution, great innovation tended to pave the way but, of late, the emphasis has been on simplicity of use rather than groundbreaking lightbulb moments. This year there has been a plethora of CRMs aimed primarily at the freelancer or small business owner that have tried to ... Read more
One of things that has been holding back small business when it comes to having an online presence has been lack of technical knowledge. Many business owners are technically challenged by website builders and CRMs, feel that they just don't have the computer skills to maintain them properly or figure that they are just too damned expensive to justify. If they do attempt to enter the online world they will generally cherry pick cheap, individual services and hope that they will all work together somewhere down the line. OElite Platform offers a cost effective set of small business management tools ... Read more
We all love creative types, don't we? Their minds work in such a way that they can pluck an idea out of the sky and change our lives a little bit with their innovative gadgets and inventions. Many of these people are paid well and have teams to collaborate and expand their original concept. There are, however a growing band of budding entrepreneurs - who are getting younger and younger, I might add - that don't have the vast resources to develop this great lightbulb moment that they want to develop. Where do they find other like-minded individuals with the ... Read more
It's hard sometimes for small business to take the next step towards the better organization of their business management. While we have dipped our toes in the water by using programs like spreadsheets over the years, it's been a bit of a struggle to embrace complicated business management apps for many. So when an app as user-friendly as Drinkle comes along, it's worth taking note of it. This easy to use and unique project management application was designed specifically to help small business become more productive by organizing all your projects, tasks, leads and stock more efficiently. Drinkle is ... Read more
Control of your business data used to be reasonably easy in the old days of paper. There was probably a rickety old filing cabinet where all your photos and documents were kept and there was probably one person who knew exactly what was going on. But now that everything is digitalized, the management and organization of your important digital assets has got a lot more complicated - not to mention time consuming. IntelligenceBank Digital Asset Management. is a flexible, fully customizable and easy-to-use Digital Asset Management (DAM) application for business that is packed with great features.

The way business works is changing rather rapidly in the 21st Century. Rather than everything being purely centered around an office environment, more and more businesses are working with reps in the field - whether it be in the local community, nationally or worldwide. It used to be complicated to keep in touch and collaborate with mobile workers who would report in anyway they could but mostly via expensive phone calls, emails or by fax. I'm sure you remember those horrible fax machines. Some of you are probably still using them now. Thankfully, those days seem numbered when apps like ... Read more
The world is not a very happy place right now. Just look at the news. There's trouble in the Middle East and Europe, and Africa is a minefield just waiting to explode. The fact is, as individuals, we can't really have much control over what's happening in the word. We can have some control in our own individual happiness, however. MyHappiness is a social self-help application for iOS and Android that can be used as a personal happiness trainer as well as a platform to keep a record of your happy times and your not-so-happy times. This fun set of ... Read more
Mobile Web apps have come a long way to challenge their Native app counterparts and a debate has formed as to which method is best.

we had booked a transfer from the airport which was perfect. the serene hill is a very nice hotel with very nice stuff and a good breakfast. the way to the room was steep, but really ok. the view from our room was not that good, but you don t spend your time in the room anyway. the pool is nice. the place is quiet and has a beautiful nature. you need a bike to move or take the shuttle to lamai beach. its a good place to stay.

Very nice hotel and friendly staff. Only negative was a busy road to cross if walking to shopping and beach. However free of charge transport was offered as alternative. Lamai was nicer than Chewang as little less touristic and noisy but the sand was better in Chewang beach.

We stayed 6 days in February at Serene Hill Resort and it was really wonderfull. We lived in a wooden house - big and with a fantastic view over the city and the sea. The place is withdrawn from Lamai town where there is peace and tranquility. It takes approximately 10-15 minutes to walk to town and beach, or you may be running them free of charge by hotel staff. Hotel staff is fantastic - so helpful and friendly. Cleaning also impeccable. Delicious pool and pool area. We will definitely stay at Serene Hill again if we return to Koh Samui.

as always super.

What's better than one new Lamborghini? Three, obviously, with Captain Slow and 100 miles of empty roads...
Posted: 05 Aug 2011
Visibility is also a bit shonky, and at any oblique junction you really need a small boy walking ahead with a series of coloured flags.
I find a broader bit of tarmac and give it the beans. The acceleration is, of course, apocalyptic, and a fantastic and hitherto-unknown world of hairy overtaking opportunities presents itself. Something nice happens in the furious thrashings of the engine at around 3,500rpm, where a faint and faintly foreboding dark rumble asserts itself.

Press release from CNW Group
XM Canada Reports Sustained Double Digit Year-over-Year Revenue Growth in the Second Quarter of 2011
Tuesday, April 12, 2011
XM Canada Reports Sustained Double Digit Year-over-Year Revenue Growth in the Second Quarter of 201113:34 EDT Tuesday, April 12, 201113.4 per cent increase in revenue compared to the second quarter of 2010, driven by continued growth in self-paying subscribers and ARPUMerger with SIRIUS Canada is on track for June closingTORONTO, April 12 /CNW/ - Canadian Satellite Radio Holdings Inc., parent company of XM Canada ("CSR" or the "Company") (TSX: XSR), Canada's leading satellite radio company, today released its financial results for the second quarter ended February 28, 2011.Second Quarter 2011 Financial HighlightsQuarter ended February 28, 2011 versus quarter ended February 28, 2010Increased revenue by 13.4 per cent to $15.8 million from $13.9 million marking the 22nd consecutive quarter of revenue growthAverage Monthly Subscription Revenue Per Subscriber (ARPU) increased $.30 to $11.44 from $11.14, marking the third consecutive quarter of ARPU growthIncreased self-paying subscribers by 11.1 per cent from 402,900 to 447,600"As we move towards a merger with Sirius Canada Inc., we continue to maintain solid results and revenue growth," said Michael Moskowitz, President and Chief Executive Officer of XM Canada. "With the economy gaining momentum we are seeing growing interest in our high-quality programming and content. We are extremely pleased with the growth in ARPU and feel optimistic about increasing this metric for the remainder of the fiscal year."Recent Business HighlightsAt the February 17, 2011 annual general meeting, CSR shareholders unanimously approved the proposed transaction to combine operations with Sirius Canada Inc. The merger of equals was announced on November 24, 2010 and the combined company is expected to have a subscriber base of more than 1.8 million. The combination is expected to yield synergies of approximately $20 million on an annualized basis within 18 months by allowing the combined company to better manage costs through improved efficiencies and greater economies of scale.On February 23, 2011, the Competition Bureau issued to the Company a No-Action Letter under the Competition Act, and announced that it did not intend to make an application to the Competition Tribunal to challenge the proposed merger with Sirius Canada Inc. under the merger provisions of the Competition Act, recognizing that the proposed transaction would not likely give rise to a substantial lessening or prevention of competition.On April 11th the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) issued its ruling authorizing approval of a transaction that will result in CSR owning 100% of both of Canada's two satellite radio businesses, XM Canada and Sirius Canada which are both licensed under the Broadcasting Act. The ruling follows CRTC hearings on March 7 and 8 in which shareholders and management of both CSR and Sirius Canada participated, as well as presentations by other broadcasting industry stakeholders.CSR commenced refinancing of approximately $130 million of its long term debt through; ○an exchange of US$69.8 aggregate principal outstanding 12.75 percent senior notes for new 9.75 per cent senior notes due 2018 and ○a concurrent offering of additional $62 million issuance of new 9.75 percent senior notes on a private placement basis to accredited investors. The refinancing will lower the Company's borrowing costs and net proceeds will be used to repay amounts owing under the XM credit agreement and outstanding subordinated promissory notes as well as for other general corporate purposes. The refinancing is expected to close on the same day as the merger transaction.XM Canada's third annual The Verge Music Awards on February 1st, 2011 was a resounding success. As part of the company's ongoing support and promotion of Canadian music talent, $55,000 was awarded across three categories: Artist of the Year (Windsor, Ontario natives Michou); Album of the Year (Toronto rockers Zeus); and Emerging Artist of the Year presented by FACTOR (Vancouver singer-songwriter Hannah Georgas).Financial PerformanceRevenue increased by $1.9 million, or 13.4 per cent, to $15.8 million from $13.9 million for the second quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase was attributable to the Company's growing subscriber base and an increase in Average Monthly Subscription Revenue per Subscriber (ARPU).ARPU was $11.44 and $11.14 for the second quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively. ARPU increased $.30 in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010 due primarily to the Music Royalty fee, which was introduced in May 2010 offset by: an increase in automotive Self-Paying Subscribers which have a lower ARPU and an increase in subscribers committing to multi-year plans as a result of promotional discounts.Adjusted Operating Loss, excluding $2.0 million of merger related costs incurred during the quarter, improved by $2.0 million on a year-over-year basis due to a $1.9 million increase in revenue and a $0.9 million reduction in general & administrative costs offset by an increase in cost of revenue of $0.9 million. Adjusted Operating Profit (Loss) after merger costs remained flat at a loss of ($2.9 million) in second quarters of 2010 and 2011.EBITDA (excluding merger costs) improved by $2.6 million or 74.1% to ($0.9 million) from ($3.5 million) in second quarters of 2010 and 2011. EBITDA (excluding merger costs) improved compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to a $1.9 million revenue improvement, lower general and administrative costs of approximately $0.9 million offset by higher cost of revenue of $0.9 million.Pre-Marketing Adjusted Operating Profit excluding merger related costs of $2.0 million improved by $1.8 million compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to a $1.9 million revenue improvement, lower general and administrative costs of approximately $0.9 million offset by higher cost of revenue of $0.9 million. Pre-Marketing Adjusted Operating Profit after merger costs decreased by $0.2 million, or 12.2% to $1.5 million from $1.7 million in the second quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively. This quarter is the eleventh consecutive quarter in which we have generated Pre-Marketing Adjusted Operating Profit. As we continue to grow our revenue and manage programming and general & administrative costs, we expect Pre-Marketing Adjusted Operating Profit (Loss) to continue to improve on an annual basis.Per Subscriber Acquisition Cost (SAC) was $45 and $43 for the second quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively. The slight increase in SAC is attributable to higher subsidies and distribution costs in the automotive channel.Cost per Gross Addition (CPGA) was $103 and $107 for the second quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively. CPGA decreased year-over-year as a result of lower advertising and marketing costs.The non-GAAP measures above should be used in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the analysis provided in the interim consolidated statement of operations and deficit.About Canadian Satellite Radio Holdings Inc.Canadian Satellite Radio Holdings Inc.

We believe that Adjusted Operating Profit (Loss), as opposed to operating profit (loss) or net profit (loss), provides a better measure of our core business operating results and improves comparability.This non-GAAP measure should be used in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the analysis provided in the Statement of Operations and Deficit. We believe Adjusted Operating Profit (Loss) is a useful measure of our operating performance and is a significant basis used by our management to measure the operating performance of our business. While amortization and stock-based compensation are considered operating costs under generally accepted accounting principles, these expenses primarily represent non-cash current period allocation of costs associated with long-lived assets acquired or constructed in prior periods and non-cash employee and service provider compensation. Costs paid by parent company are non-cash costs related to the licence application process and are not related to ongoing operations of the business. Adjusted Operating Profit (Loss) is a calculation used as a basis for investors and analysts to evaluate and compare the periodic and future operating performances and value of similar companies in our industry, although our measure of Adjusted Operating Profit (Loss) may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.Adjusted Operating Profit (Loss) does not purport to represent operating loss or cash flow from operating activities, as those terms are defined under generally accepted accounting principles, and should not be considered as an alternative to those measurements as an indicator of our performance.EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation & amortization, revaluation of derivative and foreign exchange gains and losses. EBITDA excluding merger costs is then calculated by deducting any merger related costs from EBITDA.Pre-Marketing Adjusted Operating Profit (Loss) is defined as Adjusted Operating Profit (Loss) adding back total marketing expenses. We believe that Pre-Marketing Adjusted Operating Profit (Loss) is a good measure of operating performance before investing to acquire new subscribers. This non-GAAP measure should be used in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the analysis provided in the Statement of Operations and Deficit. We believe Pre-Marketing Adjusted Operating Profit (Loss) is a useful measure of our operating performance and is a significant basis used by our management to measure the operating performance of our business.

Last night we tried to put my 5 month old to sleep without swaddling (mainly because it was so hot, but also because we think it might be time since she's rolling both ways and I don't want her to roll in the swaddler. She flailed her arms and kicked her legs and it took forever holding her to finally be able to put her down successfully. Once she was down, she rolled on her tummy and slept peacefully until she had to nurse a few hours later, and then I put her in the swaddler because I could not get her to sleep otherwise. This morning for nap she fell asleep in the ergo and we tried to transfer her without swaddling, but failed. Does this mean she's not ready to be unswaddled for sleep, or am I just making the transition to abruptly? She is usually swaddled in a miracle blanket with one arm out (so she can suck her thumb) and she does fine. Should I maybe switch swaddle blankets to something less constrictive? Any advice/experience would be appreciated!
I wouldn't be in a hurry to lose the swaddle. We swaddled DD for naps until almost 10 months. I tried having her nap without the swaddle on occasion and eventually it was clear that she didn't need it to settle anymore.
Not sure about the concern about rolling over, though. We didn't swaddle overnight since we co-slept until that time and I wasn't concerned about her while she napped. I would have been more nervous overnight. Has she tried rolling over in the swaddle?
I'm trying to contain my jealousy that was too hot to swaddle. I feel like spring will never arrive!
what about swaddling with both hands free for awhile (a week maybe?) and then lose the swaddle completely.
We will be in the same boat soon with DD.
We swaddled for quite awhile after DS could roll over. We used sleep positioners (the kind with breathe holes and placed low around his body, like at waist level) to ensure he wouldn't roll over, which worked well for us. I was planning to wean from swaddling by doing the one arm out, then two, then without a swaddle....but DS decided quite abruptly from one day to the next (he was 5 mo) that he wouldn't tolerate bring swaddled anymore so there was no weaning involved, lol!
As for the heat, Ds was born in May and we had several massive heat waves over the summer so we had to swaddle through that....we used the Aden & Anais muslin swaddle cloths and they were great! Not too hot, and big enough to swaddle real tight. The only complaint about them is that you really need to learn how to swaddle well, which I couldn't always do and it sometimes frustrated me.
Mama since 2010
Multicultural living in Europe
She did roll over in the swaddle, which is what I'm nervous about. Luckily she's got great head control and woke right up, so it wasn't a big deal. But I can't have her rolling over while swaddled, especially at night. We co sleep, but I do swaddle her at night since she goes to sleep at 7-8pm and I go to sleep closer to 10pm. Do others swaddle mobile babies? Is that safe? I just don't want her to smother herself in her sleep rolling over while swaddled, but maybe that isn't a worry?

I didn't read this before posting. Thanks for the tips! I think I'll keep swaddling, maybe try for 2 hands free, and wait it out to see if she weans from it naturally without worrying about the heat. I'll also look into other types of swaddlers that may be cooler. Thanks!
We stopped swaddling around 5 months because it seemed like DS stopped liking it anymore. We moved from a tight swaddle in A&A blankets to a Woombie, then from there to a sleep sack. We also made the changes at naptime first, then started doing it at night. He let us know whether he wanted the swaddle or not.
Well, DS is 8 mo and still swaddled. His arms and hands are soooo active when he nurses and falls asleep. He is constantly clawing at me and himself so that he can't focus (I guess!) on falling asleep. Since he sleeps on his tummy, I swaddle him for his nurse/rock to sleep, get him sleeping, lay him down on his tummy and loosen the swaddle so he can get out if he moves.
Every week or two I leave one arm unswadddled to test him but he CANNOT fall asleep. Still.
I'm fine with this for now. Whatever! He's safe and sleeping so he's going to stay swaddled as long as he needs.
Also, we co-sleep and I still have to loosely swaddle him at night otherwise he'll wake every 30 minutes. Crazy wonderful baby!!
Me: Sarah, married to: J, mommy to: C (8/10) and E (11/12)
you might decide it is easier for the babe to have loose feet first, and just swaddle the top half?
or i heard someone around here just put their babe in a footed one peice outfit and leave their arms inside the main body and zip it up, she did it cause she liked the wombie that has legs. i can see that as a great trasition outfit!
as for rolling, yeah i would block her body down below her elbows and keep her safe that way
i swaddle my twins, currently 4 months, and wonder what i will do over hte next few months as well, we just got wombies for something more summerish and flexible but so far they are too flexible, we have had to swaddle over the top of them, they dont like being able to move that much yet
So what if I don't fit cleanly into a defined parenting style, my kids don't fit into a personality archetype either!
I had a swaddle addict on my hands. What we did is we would always try and get her out of it, but then if all else failed, then we would use it. It wasn't worth it for us to lose massive amounts of sleep.
What we did that helped: I would rock and nurse her in a blanket that would act as a swauddle. I would wrap her up tight and then after she was asleep, then I would unwrap her and lay her down. If she woke up and couldn't go back asleep, than I would just swaddle her and go with it. It was slow going and I really didn't ever think she would get out of it. We had to stop swaddling her because we felt like it was bugging her, but she still had trouble sleeping without it.
If you are worried about the rolling over, you could always swaddle more loosely. That is what we did with DD. Then, if she needed to, she could get her hands out. That seemed to help and whenever I came in to get her, she always had her hands out. I felt like it was a good transistion to no swaddle. I swaddled my mobile baby, even though she could turn over. She had really good head control and I didn't ever worry about her. And she could always get her hands out.
What really helped me get my baby out of a swaddle was tummy sleeping. We didn't start doing tummy sleeping till DD was eight months old because that is when I felt like she could easily roll over, but once we did that, she could easily sleep without a swaddle. I remember reading that babies who don't like sleeping on their backs will tolerate it with a swaddle, so i think my babe just wanted to sleep on her tummy. Once she could, it was much easier getting her 100 percent swaddle free.
I think Emma would do much better sleeping on her tummy, but every time I lay her down on her tummy she wakes right up. Any tips on putting down a sleeping baby on their tummy?
We live in Hawaii, where it is hot, so when I quit swaddling at 4 months because he was rolling, I switched to a Peke Moe (http://www.pekemoe.co.nz/). He LOVES it, he gets excited when we get out his sack and it's perfect for restraining his grabby arms while not making me afraid if he rolls over. My son is 7 months now and I am planning to keep him in the Peke for the next 6 months at least.
I swaddle until they pretty much stand up, hand me the blanket, and ask to stop.
Not quite, but close. ;)
My kids have swaddled to 1 year, 15 months, and my current 10 month old is still swaddled. This time, I use a hemp jersey blanket that I love, so it's become a bit threadbare (and thus, not too hot). We're in Georgia, so not cool weather, either. I'll continue to swaddle until he stops falling asleep with it. My first was a tummy sleeper, second two were back sleepers.
I'd say it depends on the kid. DS stopped liking it at around 3-4 months and transitioned into his sleeping bag (Alvi brand from Germany). DD is still in a swaddling blanket (the kind with velcro, she could break out of any muslin square we swaddled her in, she needs the velcro!!!!). I think now that she is going to outgrow the straightjacket as we call it, I will try to put her in DS's old sleeping bag (still in pristine condition) and see how she likes it... Rolling never was a concern with DS, he was literally so fat, he couldn't roll over until 12 months (he could crawl at 9 and walk at 12 months, but still had trouble rolling over, all the little milkfat rolls were in his way)!
All three of my kids abruptly stopped liking it and made it clear they did.
I agree with the suggestion to just loosen it some after she's asleep so if she needs to get out, she can.
this is what we recommend for the babies we work with( i use to be a night nanny for multiples)
We stopped swaddling around 5 months because it seemed like DS stopped liking it anymore. We moved from a tight swaddle in A&A blankets to a Woombie, then from there to a sleep sack. We also made the changes at naptime first, then started doing it at night. He let us know whether he wanted the swaddle or not.

Oh goodness, you won't like my answer.. we have tried multiple times to wean DD from swaddling, but here we are at 14 months and she still needs her A&A blanket around her top half to fall asleep. We hold her and try to sway or rock her w/o swaddling sometimes but the hands end up flailing all over the place and we cannot get her down. Swaddling has saved our sanity and I eventually just gave up weaning because I felt that she needed it. Heck, we all need it even still. I also never worried about DD getting stuck while trying to roll over because every single night since she was about 4 months old, she has found a way to unwrap herself or free a hand out of the swaddle and still stay asleep (she's a tummy sleeper). Don't know how she does it because I tend to put her in a tighter swaddle.
The nice thing about using a swaddle to get to sleep is that over the past 6 months, DD hasn't needed it to stay asleep. Actually, probably since she was about 5-6 months old she just needed it to fall asleep. She's a very busy baby and it's so hard to get her settled!! So it's a good compromise that we don't have to repeatedly swaddle her at night. What I would do, and what I did is pat DD back to sleep or rock her if she woke up instead of swaddling. It does depend on your sleep situation, however. We easily nursed back to sleep for almost a year, and that helped curb her need for a swaddle.
The Aden and Anais swaddle blankets at Target are muslin cotton and super thin. We used them exclusively for the past year and they are amazing. We just put her in a onesie with light socks, plus the swaddle blanket and she never got hot even here in VA.. And if you're looking for something less restrictive, maybe it's time to switch to a swaddle blanket w/o velcro so baby can move around and free herself more. They are super huge so you can get a good fit. I don't wrap the first side completely under her; I just tuck it so that if she does roll over, the swaddle undoes itself and she's got one arm free. It has worked out very well, actually.
Thanks for reading my short essay!! Hope some of it helps.

SIDS happens.
Thanks for all the input! Upon reading everyone's comments and reevaluating Emma's situation, I don't think she's ready to be weaned from the swaddler. We are going to try to get her to two arms out (she already sleeps with one arm out) but I'm not going to push leaving her unswaddled to sleep because she just sleeps SO much better when swaddled and I think I was being a worrier about her rolling. I'll just loosen the swaddler before putting her down, or try to get her to be ok with both arms out and we'll go from there. Thanks for all the tips!
Heh, my DD2 was swaddled til she was 20 months old. When she started rolling in her sleep I would just loosen it so she could get out of it easily. Eventually she became too long for my super-sized swaddling blanket so her feet were loose, but I was never successful at getting her to sleep with even one arm out. One day she just decided she was done being swaddled, crazy girl.
always missing our (11/04, 4/07, 8/07, 5/10)
really starting to ponder this all, my twins are 7 months and still swaddled during all nights and most all naps. but my little girl particularly is getting really mobile and can almost flip herself, so the swaddle will need to go.
a question for those that swaddle"loosely" my gut says that is even more dangerous, cause them wigging out will mean a lot of loose blankets right around there neck and face, what am i missing here?
So what if I don't fit cleanly into a defined parenting style, my kids don't fit into a personality archetype either!
(Hi Adorkable- from the 30's TTC threads!)
This is just my gut, but I agree that loose swaddling a mobile baby is more dangerous than tight swaddling a baby that can flip on their own. DD is 9 mo and is TIGHTLY swaddled for all night and naps. She definitely needs it still. We use the velcro swaddlers super tight and she can't get out of them. The looser ones or blankets we've tried and as soon as she can move her arms or hands, they are OUT of there and she's instantly awake. Sometimes she'll wake up in the morning and be on her side, tummy, or back. I don't worry about it. She can turn her head to the side and breathe just fine and there's no extra fabric around her head/neck to get in the way. She can also flip back to her back from her tummy, so it's fine.

After all, frontman Robert Pollard never truly went away. Pollard officially disbanded the group at the end of 2004 following its "final" album, Half Smiles of the Decomposed, and a "farewell" tour. But in the seven years since, the impossibly prolific rocker has released 13 (!) solo recordings.

A new camera to see deeper into the dark of the Universe
Mosaic of images from DECam. Each rectangle is a single CCD array; in total, the image contains 570 megapixels, spanning 2.2 degrees on the sky (a little over 4 times the width of the full Moon).
Dark Energy Survey Collaboration
Dark energy stands as one of the biggest mysteries in modern cosmology. Since 1998, we have known the expansion rate of the Universe is increasing, but have had no idea what is causing this acceleration. "Dark energy" is merely the name we give our ignorance. However, a new instrument called theDark Energy Camera (DECam) may help measure many of the properties of cosmic acceleration, including whether it has always been present in the Universe, or if its effects evolved over time.
DECam on the Victor M. Blanco telescope. The camera itself is the black cylinder at the image center. Light from distant galaxies is focused by the 4-meter-diameter mirror at left into the camera.
Dark Energy Survey Collaboration
DECam is mounted on the Victor M. Blanco telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) in Chile, where dark energy was first observed in 1998. As the name indicates, it is a camera, albeit a far more sensitive one than is available to consumers. The business end of the camera is a set of 62 charged-coupled devices (CCDs), yielding images of 570 megapixels. Unlike the CCDs present in ordinary digital cameras, those in DECam are sensitive to extremely low light levels, and it can image well into infrared wavelengths, thanks to a new detector design developed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The largest lens on DECam is 98 cm in diameter and weighs 380 pounds (only slightly smaller than the lens on the Yerkes Observatory, which still holds the record at 102 cm).
The first images from DECam were released yesterday, and focused on many familiar astronomical objects to ensure the equipment was operating properly. Over the next 5 years, DECam will image approximately 1/8 of the entire sky as part of the Dark Energy Survey (DES), taking high-resolution pictures of roughly 300 million galaxies. The survey should discover an estimated 4000 supernova explosions, which can be used to measure the acceleration of the Universe to greater precision than ever before.

Remember Me
The "quiet one" in Led Zeppelin was also the one responsible for many of that band's innovative nuances, not to mention his strata shaking low end brilliance. We adore every little thing about John Paul Jones - his musicianship, his versatility, his gentlemanly ways. JPJ is everything good about serious rock musicians, and he embodies much of the underlying philosophy here at JamBase, where a dedication to great music – of whatever stripe – and live performance fuel our efforts. Happy, happy, happy birthday, sir!
We kick off our salute to Jones with his solo instrumental "Tidal" captured at the Hard Rock with Extreme's Nuno Bettencourt throwing down admirably.
Alrighty, let's get some Zep. JPJ's bassline on "Black Dog" is rumored to be a cure for erectile dysfunction. Here's rock's greatest blimp live in 1975 at the end of a five-night run at Earl's Court in London. When their honey drip we really can't keep away.
Jones is a wicked mandolin player and he always seems down to pick with young bands. Here he is with The Duhks at the 2007 Merlefest. The clip begins already in flight and eventually lands in "Whole Lotta Love."
Next, Jones rehearsing "Dazed and Confused" with Ben Harper and ?uestlove before their 2007 Superjam performance at Bonnaroo.
Jones and his pal Jimmy Page popped over to Wembley to join the Foo Fighters for a few Zep tunes last year, including this pleasant run at "Ramble On." Could Dave Grohl look any happier to have these two onstage?
One of the more out there collaborations from Jones' post-Zeppelin years was with avant garde singer/general freak Diamanda Galas. Here's their short-lived band performing live on TV in 1994. You may recognize the program's host.
Next, a sweet lil' acoustic instrumental version of "Going To California" performed by Jones and Paul Gilbert.
Back to Zeppelin with an early TV performance of "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You," where Jones shows both barbarian heaviness and feather lightness in his stunning bass work. What a baby face on Robert here!
We wrap with Jones alone with a triple neck guitar on 2000's Zooma. What a lot of sound from one man, but that kinda goes without saying with JPJ.
a very happy birthday to you sir
2008 xmas jam was a funtime
this dude is one of the most under rated musicians of all time, zep would not be themselves without him
Happy Birthday JPJ
my brown sunburst fender jazz with tortoise shell pickguard is named JPJ Jr. for a reason!
sweet! Happy Birthday Mr. Jones. :)
all of those videos were amazing just got better and better
John Paul Jones was SICK at X-Mas Jam in Asheville... Soul shine with Warren and then Going to California acoustic... not to mention the all the other silly collaborations that happened that weekend
JPJ is, and will always be, the man.
Happy Birthday John Paul Jones you are "A True Legend" and Simply The Best Bass Player EVER ! That 5-25-75 Earl's Court footage is AWESOME.
Happy birthday JPJ, you are living proof that there's no such thing as labels if you have the passion of music running through your veins. You surely do, and I will always admire you and aspire to one day play music like you. Esp the mandolin!!
only ?uest can rock it like Bonham. :)
Will anyone go to see Led Zep sans Bonham and Bob Plant? What if tixs were $50?
as a bass players point of veiw-- sir Jones was one of the greatest four string player of all time. He was the glue that held zep together, he threw down some of the greatest rythems and basslines of all time. My hat goes off to you mista Sir John Paul Jones, thank you for everything you have done for musicians like myself, and have one hell of a fucking birthday!
wishing you many more JPJ.
Hooray for JPJ! Huge contributor to our scene. Thanks so much!
You tha man!!! Thanks for the great memories, and KEEP ON TRUCKIN!!
Happy Birthday John Paul Jones! Fans of music everywhere are thankful for your love and dedication and ridiculous talent... music would not be what it is today without your influence over the years. You are a true legend, and here's to many more years of health, love and rock-n-roll!
Happy Birthday Brady Patrick Boyle 1-3-09!!!!!!!!!!-
From your very proud father, you are are in very fine comapny... Stephen Stills, J.R.R. Tolkein and John Paul Jones!
What the hell does a Revoluntionary War naval commander have to do with music? Happy birthday anyway.... thought you be older though.
thanks jambase. you really know how to give us the stuff we want

Fingernails take beating when warm weather arrives
They are cracked, broken and dirty — not the outdoor containers, but my fingernails.
Ah, the first sign of spring. All winter my nails are a decent length, but one deliciously warm day in the garden and my nails are shot. The nails suffer even when I wear gloves.
Most of the outdoor work has involved raking dead foliage from late blooming fall perennials and picking up debris in the yard.
Over the winter, many small branches and a few larger ones had broken off and littered the gardens. Having grandchildren pick up the sticks is a great way for them to earn a little spending money and saves me from having to stoop over a hundred times.
Other chores include raking fall leaves away from the foundation, removing dried flower heads left in place for winter interest (hydrangeas and sedum), and cutting back the extremely large clumps of ornamental grasses.
After using a power saw or hedge trimmer to cut through the tough stalks, Master Gardener Ernie Hicks uses the pampas grass stalks to stake tomato plants.
When performing routine maintenance, remember the growing habits of perennials. Leave intact the Dutch iris and grape hyacinth foliage that emerged last fall and may have turned brown on the tips.
This is the opportune time to examine outdoor containers. The lightweight ones that are showing wear after two or three years may be repainted. A terra cotta pot left outdoors probably will lose its bottom or may be cracked in several places and should be discarded.
Years ago, my husband mended a decorative terra cotta pot that had broken into two pieces, and it's still in use. Successful mending will depend on the break, but it's worth a try.
After several warm days, the temperature dipped a few degrees, and the indoor plants became the center of attention again. I decided to tackle the houseplants with the same vigor I give our established gardens.
Starting with a good pruning, I shaped a few of the plants and took cuttings from new tips, setting them aside in glasses of water to root.
To keep houseplants from sitting in water, the saucers had been filled with gravel to elevate the pots. When cleaning the saucer, I emptied the gravel into a sieve and washed the rocks thoroughly. The plants were watered, leaves cleaned with a damp cloth or soft sponge, containers reassembled and the plants were then ready for spring.
When night temperatures reach 50 degrees, the plants may be set outdoors as-is or combined with annuals/perennials in outdoor containers.
Because today is the first day of spring, get as many indoor garden projects completed as possible. All gardeners want to be outdoors on a pleasant day.
Garden dos the next two weeks:
n Plan a trip to the Missouri Botanic Garden to see the marvelous spring bulb display.
n Paint or repair outdoor containers.
n Begin dividing large clumps of perennials. Be careful where you walk in the gardens.
n Check houseplants for aphids and spider mites.
n List needed garden supplies, especially mulch.

Dana Jumps Most in 8 Years After Egypt Payment: Abu Dhabi Mover
Dec. 25 (Bloomberg) -- Dana Gas PJSC, the energy producer that restructured debt last year due to delayed payments, rose the most in eight years after it received $53 million from Egypt, stoking bets of better cashflow.
The stock surged almost 15 percent, the most since December 2005, to 86 fils at the close in Abu Dhabi. More than 311 million shares were traded, almost nine times the three-month average daily volume. Egypt has paid Dana $130 million this year of $330 million owed to the Sharjah, United Arab Emirates-based company, it said in a statement to the Abu Dhabi bourse yesterday. The company said it is working with Egyptian authorities to expedite repayment.
Egypt delayed payments for energy supplies after the 2011 popular uprising slowed economic growth and as local gas output declined, putting pressure on the government's price-cap policy. Dana restructured about $1 billion of Islamic bonds last year because of remittance holdups caused by political unrest in Egypt and Iraq.
"This may be the beginning of resolving the company's cashflow problems," Montasser Khelifi, Dubai-based senior manager for global markets at Quantum Investment Bank Ltd., said by phone. "It helps the company live up to its own debt obligations and gives more security to investors because there's real engagement by the Egyptian government."
Dana's shares have advanced 91 percent this year, compared with a 59 percent gain in the benchmark gauge. Five analysts recommend buying the stock, while one advises holding and another selling, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Dana was the biggest gainer on the ADX General Index today, which climbed 0.6 percent.

I think unleashed he is pretty close to alien status in his own right.
But if Cyril has been "playing poker well", then I guess its hardly a surpise that KTM have done this. A good way of calling his bluff and seeing whether he really wants to go (to Honda?) or not.
As much as I would like to see Honda win, I dont think thats going to happen for another year or two still. That bike still needs so much development and anyway they are redesigning the wheel it seems. I think it would be silly for Depres to switch now...surely?
One n00b question for ya Doyle: Does what youre saying imply that Speedbrain is going to become a new stand alone production bike in a year or so?
If so that would be so, so cool. Im still pretty devastated that Husqvarna is now now longer...so maybe this could replace it?
To the contrary, I hear KTM has resigned Faria so he's good to go with KTM. It would be interesting to see how he really does go unfettered to support someone else, but I suspect he still will not be a #1 rider even if Despres leaves. I don't think it's as much that KTM wants to cut Cyril loose as much as it is he is driving a hard bargain for a new contract with them or Honda.
Speedbrain owns nearly all the rights to the current TE449RR. They are completely separated from Husqvarna now and with the split from BMW, the bike essentially becomes a bespoke effort from the team and they become a small manufacturer similar to Bordone Ferrari and their Mi1. As I hear it, the bike will drop the Husky name and simply become a Speedbrain 450RR while the mechanical makeup remains the same.

LAKE GEORGE - Focusing on environmental improvements both in the Adirondacks and statewide, the state's top environmental officer joined officials from several area green groups in observing the 40th anniversary of Earth Day Monday with a press conference held atop Prospect Mountain.
Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Pete Grannis cited improved wastewater treatment, a rebound in wildlife, cleaner waterways and reduced acid rain levels, and closed landfills as achievements over the past four decades.
"Forty years ago, the Adirondacks were environmentally threatened because of acid rain, poorly located and outdated landfills, substandard wastewater treatment facilities and potential fragmentation of large timber tracts," Grannis said. "Since then, we've made impressive gains - our mission is certainly not accomplished - but this anniversary gives New Yorkers a chance to take stock of how far we've come."
Grannis, who helped organize the first Earth Day in New York City in 1970, is now touring sites around the state that exemplify the environmental progress New York has made over the past 40 years, DEC Spokesman Yancy Roy said.
Grannis said that 28 of the 48 lakes in the Adirondack monitored for acid rain have shown substantial declines in acidity, and all of them show reductions in sulfate and nitrate. Also, the number of fish species has increased from three to four, he said.
He also noted that moose, Bald Eagles, Peregrine falcons, ravens and ospreys have established themselves in the North Country after long absences. Beaver, otter and fisher populations have flourished to the point that there are now trapping seasons have been resumed. Wild turkey populations have also multiplied, enabling a hunting season.
Grannis noted that over the 40 years, 82 unlined landfills have been closed in DEC's Region 5, which encompasses Warren, Essex, Hamilton, Washington, Saratoga, Franklin, Clinton and Fulton counties.
Since 1970, he said, more than 700,000 acres of Adirondack lands have been protected under conservation easements. The vast majority of this acreage, he said, represents working forests where logging activity continues. Easements also provide public recreational opportunities on lands and waters previously closed to the public, he said.
