The best choice for double stroller if you have two year part kids.

I have 3month and 2 year babies. City select double stroller is the best. I like it most because i can use the stroller as single too if i take just one kid.

Love this stroller!
August 30, 2016
This stroller is simply wonderful! Before this one we had the uppa baby vista, also a great stroller but wasn't the best for two children. As we are expecting our second child I went on a hunt for the best stroller for two children and found baby jogger to have the best reviews. My 3 year old fits perfectly and the attachment tray is great for him! I love that the tray stays upright when moving it for the child to get out. No more food falling out! I have put our car seat on the stroller with my son in his seat and he had plenty of room. I also tried both seats at the same time and they work great together. Love al the options you have with this stroller. The stroller rides very smoothly and has no trouble going over bumps or anything else in the way. It s also very easy to clean with a wet cloth. We are very satisfied with this stroller!

Favorite double
August 11, 2016
I've had a lot of double strollers in my 5 years of motherhood, this one is my favorite. I have an extremely large (like 70 lb 50" tall) 5 year old. She asked to sit in this stroller recently and I let her for a short amount of time since the weight limit on the seat is 45 lbs I believe. While it was heavy to push with her and my younger daughter in it (100 lbs total of kid) it still was easy to maneuver through the cobble streets where were visiting. It doesn't do fantastic in sand, but we don't live on the beach so that isn't a concern of mine. I love the color of the teal and it matches our car seat perfectly which was an added bonus. Overall I am really pleased with the purchase, and look forward to the many years of use it will give us with 3 young kids.

Great Double Stroller with just one problem...
May 6, 2016
The stroller is very easy to push even with the two seats on. It can be either a great single or double stroller. When I was using it as a single stroller, my daughter loves the lying position and would sleep comfortably in it. With the two seats configuration, the stroller would be the best for two kids when they are both under 3 years old. After that, the optional gliding stand might be a good solution so one can stand and the other one can sit, but since my 2 kids are still using the seats, I'm not 100% sure. We use a Britax carseat and the adapter is easy to install. The only big issue is that this stroller doesn't fold with seats attached to it, so it can be a little bit annoying when you loading and unloading since it is heavy and bulky. When you are planning for a long-distance trip, it will take up a lot of space of your trunk, so it may not be the best option for long-distance travel if you have a lot of luggages. Another small issue would be it doesn't come with a complimentary cup holder and other accessories like kid's tray, so you have to pay a little bit extra to get all the convenient features. But for a good stroller, it is little enough for me to ignore.
Easy to push; Multiple configurations; Kids love it
Heavy & Bulky; Have to detach seats before folding
Best Uses:
Short trip; Daily use

Baby Jogger City Select... so many good things to say! Since we needed something more versatile, this stroller works great for us. It can be used as a single, or a double, even a triple if you add on the glider board. Our car seat easily attaches to it, changing the configurations for the seats is simple. My daughter just turned three and the adjustable canopy height, and generous weight/ height limit still allow her to fit comfortably. Be sure to read the user's manual to be sure that you are using this stroller to its fullest/ safest potential. When I am out with it, other parents stop me to inquire about it- it is definitely an impressive stroller. Thank you Albee Baby for carrying this item!

Runs well, but heavy
March 26, 2016
This stroller rides very well and smoothly, but it is heavy to carry. I know that it can be made lighter by taking seats off when folding (well, only one can be on the frame when folding anyways), but it is still a bit difficult for a petite parent. Nonetheless, because it is for two kids, that is understandable. I love the silver color because it is gender neutral and also very modern looking. The basket underneath is HUGE, which is great for bringing things around. Since I am petite, I have the handlebar pushed in all the way so putting on a parent console or my diaper bag on the handle is not a great option, meaning that a big basket is really important to me.

Great for twins
February 6, 2016
We have infant twins and a toddler so I needed a stroller that could accept two car seats. The push is great, it's very easy to change between a single seat or one seat and one car seat or two car seats. The basket is a nice size. It is quite long with two seats on but I can still steer with one hand. I'll eventually want a side by side but if you have twins this is one of the only options for two car seats. I love it as a single when we wear our babies and push the toddler. Can add a rider board but haven't tried it. Being able to parent face the seats is a huge plus. Some of the configurations don't work very well. Works great with my Uppababy Mesas with the adapters but it's a tight fit. Telescoping handle and hand brake are nice features.

Great Stroller
February 5, 2016
We received this item very quickly after ordering which was great. I've used it with my Britax B-safe 35 carseat and adapter and haven't had any problems. Very smooth ride, easy to push and maneuver. I've taken it for walks and runs on gravel trails and it's been perfect, my daughter falls right asleep, she doesn't feel the bumps at all. Would definitely recommend this stroller and have recommended it to friends.

We have a tandem double stroller before purchasing this one (the Britax B-Ready) so we got this to be able to have all three our children using it at once. I honestly couldn't be happier. This stroller was worth every penny. It's great quality, drives very smooth, was easy to assemble, folds easily, and I my kids love all the seating options!

Second stroller
November 12, 2015
This is our second city select. The only reason we bought a second one was because of your promotion ;) we sold our first one (two years old) and bought a new one! We love this stroller so much and would never ever change it.
We use your a double stroller. Can take apart and put directly in the wash.
A touch heavy. Not really suitable for children above two, or tall children. My daughter is average height and already cannot close the canopy.
Best Uses:
Love using as a double stroller. Lots of storage space as well.

Fantastic Durable Stroller
September 12, 2015
I have had this stroller for over a year. I use it on a daily basis on long walks for my 5 and 2 year old children. They are both very comfortable in it and can easily take naps in it when on the go. I love how easy the fabric comes off for easy washing in the washing machine. It also dries quickly.
Durable, easy to clean, comfortable for older kids
Best Uses:
Long walks, slight rough terrain, light jogging

Love the Product
August 6, 2015
I love the stroller. I also was very impressed with Albee's quick shipment. They also have a great description on exactly what you are going to get. This product was totally worth it. I have newborn and a 17month old. It was very important for us to have a great stroller. It is easy to transform from a single to a double depending on our needs for that day. This stroller also drives like a dream. I have taken it on everything from a mall adventure to a gravel trail. It is a little difficult on hills with my older child in the front. It also folds up smaller than my single jogging stroller that we had for our first child. This was a bit of a splurge, but I am glad this is the item I chose to splurge on.

We recently purchased this stroller in anticipation of our 2nd child who is due in the next 3 weeks. We have already used it a few times with our toddler and love the fact we can turn him around to face us. I highly recommend this stroller either for 1 or 2 kids. I also love the fact that there is a skate board if we happen to have a 3rd little one in the near future. Then all 3 can be around the same stroller. It glides so nicely over different terrain also compared to our last stroller.

April 21, 2015
Very happy with my new stroller!! Smelled like a new car when I opened the box. Very excited. I love the color (sand) and the smooth ride. Very easy to put together. I researched a lot of double strollers and this was the best looking. I didn't want to have a super long dumpy looking stroller that would be too big to fit through doorways and I didn't want the second seat facing under the top seat. What child would want to stare at the back of a stroller seat?!! Love the different configurations. Great purchase!!
Great color, smooth ride, large under basket, great looking stroller
Should come with seat trays for the little ones and a cup holder for mom and dad. Those are sold separately.

Great versatile stroller for twins
April 17, 2015
This stroller is a high quality product with a lot of versatility. We use it for our twins with our Britax B safe car seats using the car seat adapters. It's sturdy, not too heavy, & rolls very easily. The grips feel great & the wheels have good tracking with easy maneuverability. We were recommended this by a friend with twins & highly recommended it for others. It's not the cheapest stroller but you get good value & it can continue to be used as the kids grow.
Good quality materials Multiple positions allowing kids to face different directions, each other, forward, back Easy to steer & maneuver Quality tires Easy folding
May be heavy for petite women to carry in the folded position May be slightly awkward to carry in the folded position

Great double stroller!
April 15, 2015
W e owned the Uppa Baby Vista with our first son however once #2 was on the way we knew that we would need a good double stroller. The best part about this stroller is the number of positions on the seats can move in. The only downfall for his stroller would be its weight, it is a bit heavy getting it in and out of the car.
many seat positions (toddler seat can face forward instead of facing towards baby's feet

I bought this stroller, and after 18 months of use, my seats started to rip! I contacted baby jogger and they told me it was too bad, they only offer 1 year warranty and I would have to purchase new covers for them! UNBELIEVABLE! I thought I was buying a quality product, and it turned out to be a piece of junk. I love the set up, and style of the stroller, but the quality is absolutely terrible. I would not recommend this stroller. Especially after dealing with them regarding my seats.

Terrible Stroller!
March 21, 2015
I live in Zurich, Switzerland and a good stroller is essential as this is the primary means of transportation for not only children, but groceries and anything else one who lives in the States would toss into their car. I purchased this stroller (in America) in July 2014 whilst pregnant with my second child thinking it would be ideal for our needs. Naturally the price was great considering what I would have spent in Europe. It was only after having schlepped this thing (as well as every conceivable add-on that goes with it) across the Atlantic that I realized when used as a double stroller there simply is NO ROOM 2 BABIES! The various configurations illustrated by Baby Jogger are complete misrepresentations of the capabilities of comfortably transporting a newborn and a toddler (my boys are 15 months apart). The bassinet is so small I could barely fit a warm blanket over my newborn when going for walks during the cold months in Zurich. Not to mention the fact that there ZERO LEG ROOM for my older son when I had both the bassinet and the toddler seat facing me. I could go on and on! I am in again in the states (and yes, schlepped this peice of junk stroller across the Atlantic AGAIN) and after struggling this morning to configure both seats for my now 4 month old and 19 month old, my husband and I have decided to bite the proverbial bullet and spend whatever it costs to have A DOUBLE STROLLER THAT ACTUALLY SERVES AS A DOUBLE STROLLER! Think before you buy folks. BTW. I currently own a Bugaboo Cameleon and love it! Too bad the Bugaboo Donkey is so darn wide.

Awesome stroller.
March 9, 2015
Great stroller. It handles well- very smooth ride, easy to maneuver, and my son happily dozes in it on walks. Large under stroller basket and generous canopy to block the sun. We have not yet used the second seat attachment as we won't need it for another 3 months. I'm sure it will make the stroller heavier (as will have two kids in it!), but overall we are very happy with this purchase. Well worth the money. This is our second stroller and we wish we had started with this one!

very disappointed
February 27, 2015
I normally don't write any reviews. But I feel I should, to counterbalance all great reviews this stroller got. I'm expecting my 3rd child and was looking to replace our Britax B-ready which was very heavily used in winter and summer and is in very bad shape. I wanted a stroller that would allowed me to attached a board for the oldest child to stand on and this stroller seemed to be perfect - narrow, double stroller with enough space left for 3rd child to stand on the board. This is true but there are some big flaws this strollers has in other places. First - when both children are facing outwards (the only way my kids will fall asleep - bc they stop entertaining each other) there is very little space left for legs. The child higher up is just squished and you are not able to tilted back even for an inch any seat. The angle at which the seats are attached makes my kids heads to fall forward which seems terribly uncomfortable and doesn't allow any longer nap. Second - with two seats attached this stroller is much longer than Britax B-ready any therefore difficult to maneuver. It's great with one - main seat, but again I'm reviewing it as a double stroller with possible board attachment. It's fine stroller but I'm very unhappy that I didn't stick with Britax B-ready, even if B-ready seems to leave less space for the 3rd child on the board... I really wish I could return this stroller and buy a new frame for Britax....

Convenient, but Heavy... City Select vs. City Mini GT Double
February 24, 2015
We bought our City Select in 2012 when we were expecting our second son (our first was just under two years old). It was the perfect option for our growing family. I loved the big storage basket, the carseat adaptor, and all the different seat configurations for when both our boys were in bigger. I must say we put it to the test for the past two and a half years, It was great for trips... we would check one stroller seat and one carseat. Then, we would actually set one of the toddler carseats in front, facing forward, and put our other child in the CS seat facing us to stroll through the airport when we were leaving for vacation. That way we didn't have to lug the carseat all the way to the gate to use it on the plane. We used the huge storage basket as a shopping cart on many occasions and without any seats to transfer groceries from the car to the house. We used it on all terrains and it held up well. My major complaints came when folding it down... it is heavy. It's way easier to fold it without the seats so it would take me forever to take the seats off and fold it then put them back on when building it. When I'm in a parking lot and have two kids in the car, I want to get in and out as quickly as possible. Albeit, I'm not very strong and folding the stroller with the seats didn't seem to bug my husband much, but I was the one using it most. Next, the seats do not accommodate growing toddlers well, we just sold ours because our four year old was way too big for the seat. He could bend his legs and rest them on the foot bar but his head was over the back edge, and depending on his mood he would drop his feet and touch the ground to stop us while we were pushing. He's not a huge four-year-old by any means, slightly above average in height and weight. Also, the stroller had a smooth ride, but was pretty difficult to maneuver due to the length of the stroller and the weight of the kids. Definitely needed a ramp for even the slightest curbs. So, we just bought the city mini double GT since it has a larger capacity for both seats. My boys love sitting next to each other. The seats accommodate both of them perfectly (my four year old actually has room to grow!). They are super padded, recline completely, and have way longer sun canopies. Both boys nap in them almost every time we use it. It folds in one step, but is still pretty heavy. It is much easier to maneuver and push, and handles curbs like a champ. But, it is definitely a little wider so it can't fit into as tight of spaces as the city select. Most door ways are a bit of a squeeze, it feels wider than a standard shopping cart. Also, I'm missing the huge underneath basket the CS had. In addition, they weigh about the same, but the city select feels a lot more durable. The GT definitely suits our needs better now, but I'm glad we had the city select when the kids were small. And lets be honest, the City Select looks a million times better than the City Mini GT. Hope this review helps anyone debating between the two!

Fitzwater brings Piaf alive in Skylight's 'Onstage'
The music and life story of popular French singer Edith Piaf get under one's skin.
Singer-actress Leslie Fitzwater, who has brought Piaf to the stage several times over the course of her career, opened her one-woman "Edith Piaf Onstage" at the Skylight Music Theatre on Friday evening. »Read Full Article
First Stage's ambitious 'Promised Land' is a dream deferred
Ruth, an African-American girl in her early teens, is lost. Her father is long gone. Her overworked mother is rarely around. Her beloved brother is dead. It's 1969, and, while Ruth should be in school, she is watching TV instead.
In "To the Promised Land" - unveiled by First Stage Children's Theater on Friday night - playwright Jonathan Gillard Daly links Ruth's struggles with another coming-of-age story that unfolded in Milwaukee, where a young Golda Meir underwent her own journey of self-discovery. Daly places both girls in the same house on Walnut St., nearly 60 years apart. »Read Full Article

As a culture, it is about as far from Rugby League's as I can imagine, and I include Twickenham in that.
Rubbish. Its a flawless stadium. On a retail park (not industrial!) like most new stadii. And a short bus ride from the pubs of Bletchley and Fenny Stratford, which are traditional English town areas of MK. It would be the smartist move London RL ever made IF it happens. On the M1, 45 miles nearer the north and a proper local market to sell to.
Posted 18 July 2010 - 11:38 AM
if that did happen they could call themselves London Olympians Rugby League Club. a big plus for Rugby League IMHO which would make more people aware that Rugby League is played in London at the olympic stadium.
It's a nice idea (and I've thought that name would be great previously) but West Ham may move there and with the football season starting ever earlier I think they'd be too much overlap before you even consider rental costs etc. Plus a few of the GP RU clubs have already been sniffing around too.
Posted 18 July 2010 - 11:39 AM
Regents Park?!?!?!? Tell me more....
Posted 18 July 2010 - 02:08 PM
If it happened, it might be the smartest move Bronquins ever made but you could hardly say the same for London RL. Milton Keynes is not only outside London, it isn't even in the South East.
Posted 18 July 2010 - 02:19 PM
Milton Keynes is in the South East it is only 50 miles from London.
Posted 18 July 2010 - 02:22 PM
Technically speaking it is, the South East has a strange border that includes the Thames Valley area.

if West Ham move in they wont share with a union club as the wont want the pitch carved up, which the union game will do. IF they have share, they would sooner share with a Rugby League club as Rugby League does even less damage to a pitch that Soccer, and a majority of the Rugby League games would be played in the Soccer off season.
Posted 18 July 2010 - 05:42 PM
If West Ham move in they want it keeping/developing into a 55/60000 seater stadium which would make it a waste of time for Quins anyway
Posted 18 July 2010 - 07:05 PM
who knows, perhaps a move to the Olympic stadium might be the catalyst that brings in a lot more supporters to watch Qunins RL, or what ever they will be known as then.
Posted 18 July 2010 - 07:10 PM
50,000 more fans???
Posted 18 July 2010 - 07:43 PM
not overnight, but from little acorns mighty oaks do grow. i think Quins RL as they are known today have possibly one more move to get it right in London. i dont think gates are going to get much better if at all at the Stoop. the options as i see it for them are a move to the olympic stadium after 2012, or a move to a west London soccer staduim. i did live in London for a while a few years back, and i must admit that when the London Bronco's as they were then started playing out of the valley i did think that Rugby League in London would take off, sadly i was wrong.
Posted 18 July 2010 - 08:42 PM
Typical Wakefield fan - taking pride in another club's downwards spiral even though it's on a par with their own.
Posted 18 July 2010 - 11:01 PM
Only temporary stands in a link up with Saracens, if they can get the right permissions.

My 8 month old daughter is a very busy girl. She is so busy that she doesn't really slow down to nurse or have a bottle during the day. When I am with her, she doesn't really ask to nurse, I just make sure and do it every few hours to keep up my supply. My parents (who take care of her while I work during the day) say she doesn't ask for a bottle either. They give her one because I tell them to.
I don't think we are missing her cues. She does nurse pretty much all night. Neither I nor my dh has an issue with her night nursing as she is also co-sleeping for much of the night (pretty much midnight to morning) and we like it that way.
She is gaining weight, but she is small (approx 16 lbs). She has at least 5 wet and 1 poopy diaper during the day. She is eating solids (and loves it). She does burn a lot of calories by crawling around all day.
I really don't think I need to worry, just wanted to check. My only other child (now 10) was a constant nurser and I never seemed to be able to pump enough for her so I'm not used to this.

The space shuttle Columbia has exploded on approach to its landing this morning, Feb. 1, 2003 at approx at 8:09 Central time. Contact with the shuttle was lost by mission control as the shuttle was making its approach to its landing.
Amateur film of the shuttle shows a white streak indicating the shuttle had exploded over Texas on landing approach to Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
God be with the astronauts and their families at this tragic time.

NOW maybe they'll look at their antiquated launch systems with a more pragmatic eye.
But it's a desperately sad day for all concerned. Of course I feel for the astronauts' families, but I also feel very sad for the ground crews and mission control people. Losing a spacecraft on your watch must be as bad as losing a family member.
It's perhaps even more ironic that it happened on ST-107, because it was a pure science mission - no spacewalks, no satellite launches, no hush-hush aspects. Just plain science, trying to expand the boundaries of human knowledge.
It makes me WILD that NASA felt that they had to state that there was no reason to suspect terrorism as almost their first announcement. There are enough things that can go wrong with one of those babies without any outside help, that's for real, and using a 22-year-old prototype is hardly a safe proposition, is it? Having said that if I was offered the chance to go up in a shuttle, I'd be camped at 39B within a day to ensure that I made the flight.
From the news reports, my guess is that the shuttle lost attitude during the reentry phase, because it was far too low when it flew over Dallas and Plano, creating sonic booms along its path. They have an attitude leeway of less than 5deg, and no realistic way of recovering if they get out of shape. I don't have any idea of why it might have lost attitude, though. I hope they can find out.

Here's a link to the MSN reports:
Beef-up security, Israeli aboard...that's why NASA had to come out immediately and state whatever it stated about no terrorism [and I, too, shuddered when I read the word]. I haven't seen NASA's statements on the matter, but it makes sense something would have been stated under the circumstances. Sharon hasn't said anything public yet.
It's all too terrible--hard to think of anything to say at all. Just want to know more about what went wrong.
Thanks, D., for your input here.

The Crew of the Columbia: In Memoriam
Richard P. Feynman's Minority Report to the
Space Shuttle Challenger Inquiry
Conclusions: (abridged)
If a reasonable launch schedule is to be maintained, engineering often cannot be done fast enough to keep up with the expectations of originally conservative certification criteria designed to guarantee a very safe vehicle. In these situations, often with apparently logical arguments, the criteria are altered so that flights may still be certified in time. They therefore fly in a relatively unsafe condition, with a chance of failure of the order of a percent.
Official management, on the other hand, claims to believe the probability of a failure is a thousand times less.
This difference has unfortunate consequences, the most serious of which is to encourage ordinary citizens to fly in such a dangerous machine, as if it had attained the the safety of an ordinary airliner.
For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled.
~ Richard P. Feynman 1986

Some wretchedly depraved soul was offering a piece of the wreckage on eBay today for $5,000. I hope the Feds nabbed him. (eBay ivalidated the auction and took all the info down, except for the main menu).

This is the patented chair that is mounted to a pair of waterskis, allowing beginners and experts alike to ski from a stable seated position. Introduced almost 50 years ago, the chair consists of a backless seat connected to broad, widely-spaced skis by a pivoting steering mechanism. Leaning to one side in the chair automatically causes the skis to carve the water in the same direction. The chair only requires riders to hold a tow rope and maintains its balance even when crossing a boat's wake. Experienced skiers will find the chair maneuverable enough to perform many of the same tricks they attempt when standing. The vinyl-covered chair is padded with 2" of closed-cell foam that absorbs the jolts encountered when riding waves. Tubular stainless steel frame and hardware and wood/laminate skis ensure years of use. Made in the U.S. Assembly required. 71" L x 31" W x 13" H. (28 lbs.)

Hi - my DD is almost 8 months and for the past few weeks has had me up pretty much all night every night......
History : Started at 4 weeks with huge amounts of green BM in a day, diagnosed with silent reflux, still on meds and was dairy intolerant. Has been on solids since 6 months, just onto 3 meals and dairy now - have done it very slowly and gradually. Still BF on demand - at least 6 feeds in a 24 hour period. She does 4 - 6 wet nappies a day and at least 1 BM usually more. Seems upset when doing BM but they are loose. Last few days these have been very green but I assumed that's usual after solids e.g. spinach
She's had a bad cough/cold recently and can't seem to shift it and last night was continually coughing for minutes - she couldn't seem to breath and I was on the point of taking her to A&E. During the day she's ok until about 6pm. Even co-sleeping doesn't help settle her, only letting her sleep upright on my shoulder works. She arches her back and squeals and passes a lot of wind, even BF doesn't seem to help.
Any suggestions? She stopped getting very loose BM with dairy so thought she was ok to go into it?

"God is God. Because He is God, He is worthy of my trust and obedience.
I will find rest nowhere but in His holy will…
a will that is unspeakably beyond my largest notion of what He is up to."
-Elisabeth Elliot
In exactly one week I turn that age. 25. I'm not where I thought I'd be, but I'm glad for where I am. The past year was the worst most wonderful year, and as I look back it's hard to believe everything happened in only 365 days. I was broken and persevered, and as Mr. Charles Spurgeon said, "I have learned to kiss the wave that throws me against the Rock of Ages." I wouldn't trade that for the world. Here are some wonderful things I learned or experienced in 2012:
» Forgiveness is essential, but it takes time.
» I am blessed and so grateful to call some of the dearest people friends.
» My biggest fears are of what I want the most, so I need to be myself and not fear man.
» WWOOFing was an incredible experience, but I now know I'm not cut out to be a farmer :)
» Guys and girls can't be "just" friends. Haven't you seen When Harry Met Sally?! *
» Classes started today, but I didn't have to go. I can get used to this whole college graduate thing!
*No need to watch if you haven't :)
Recipe time! These little bowls are equally refreshing as they are creamy. Citrus season is in full swing, so grapefruit, lemon, mandarine orange, and clementine would all be delicious!

4 navel oranges
1 c coconut milk
1/3 c honey

Pioneering—the knowledge of ropes, knots, and splices along with the ability to build rustic structures by lashing together poles and spars—is among the oldest of Scouting's skills. Practicing rope use and completing projects with lashings also allow Scouts to connect with past generations, ancestors who used many of these skills as they sailed the open seas and lived in America's forests and prairies.

Claes Nilsson is President of Volvo Trucks and he does not hesitate to stand on a truck dangling more than 20 metres up in the air as he stars in a film where Volvo's new construction truck is put to the test.
"Well, I have to admit I had butterflies in my tummy and I certainly did wonder more than once about what I'd let myself in for. I'm no mountain-climber and I don't like heights. But I'd promised to do the stunt so I couldn't very well back out," says Claes Nilsson.
He had to spend almost two hours standing on the front panel of a Volvo FMX construction truck that had been hoisted more than 20 metres above the water in Gothenburg harbour.
"Of course there were many retakes and filming is a time-consuming process. It was fairly cold - about 8 degrees above zero - and the wind was blowing about 10 metres a second, so my hands got pretty cold after a while. But it all went very well. Safety was 100 per cent all the way, so I was never really afraid," continues Claes Nilsson.
"The idea behind the film - called "The Hook" - is that we wanted to show that the truck's front towing hook is dimensioned to handle far greater stresses than those to which it is normally subjected. It's all about spotlighting the strength and quality of our construction trucks. And you can't do that more clearly than by hoisting the 15 tonne truck up into the air via its own towing hook," explains Claes Nilsson.
The film was shot from a helicopter. Everything had been prepared in advance down to the tiniest detail.
"The difficulty is to shoot the entire film in one take from a helicopter. I'm really impressed by Claes Nilsson, who stayed cool and focused throughout the two hours while hanging 20 metres up in the air. I tried it myself, but just for 15 minutes. It was pretty scary I can tell you," says Filip Nilsson of Folke Film, who directed the film.
This is not the first time Volvo Trucks has filmed spectacular tests featuring their trucks. "The Ballerina Stunt" was a viral success the world over when it appeared on the Internet in August last year. Nowadays 7 million people have seen the film on YouTube in which Faith Dickey balances on a slackline between two trucks driving at full speed. The aim in that film was to demonstrate the improved stability and steering of Volvo's new long-haul truck.
"Since then we've introduced another four truck models. Our plan is to subject them to a variety of tests in the upcoming months, all with the aim of demonstrating the improved characteristics of each model. These are not any run-of-the-mill tests we're doing - I can assure you that nobody in the truck world has ever done anything like this before," concludes Claes Nilsson.

The exact words(phrase)
Søren Marentius Syvertsen (?? - 1923)
Syvertsen was the machinist on Roald Amundsen's Maud expedition in 1923, but he died the first year.
Søren Marentius Syvertsen started in the navy in 1904 as a constable and advanced to become a machinist in the submarine corps. He was hired at the beginning of May 1923 as machinist when the Maud was to leave Seattle on the last voyage 1923-25. Amundsen described him as "an excellent man ". Unfortunately he died in July of what Wisting thought was inflammation of the brain . His body was committed to the sea.
"Victory awaits him, who has everything in order - luck we call it. Defeat is definitely due for him, who has neglected to take the necessary precautions - bad luck we call it"

Emma is 29months old. She LOVES to nurse and always has. She hasn't done much in the way of weaning on her own. Since she was around 17months I have slowly cut back her daytime nursing sessions, as I saw she was ready. When she was 18months I night-weaned her, which went well and she was fully night-weaned at 21months. This was all my doing, although she did o.k. with it. When I was hospitalized in the beginning of January she was nursing 3 times a day - morning, nap, and bedtime. This seemed to be o.k. with her and it was great for me. She continued nursing during my hospital stay, 10 days total. She napped with me there so she nursed then and 1 or 2 other times in the afternoon/evening before going home. After her brother was born (10weeks early) I let her nurse a little more often, maybe 3-5 times a day depending on the day as it helped my milk come in and I preferred doing that to pumping as much. As it got closer to him coming home from the NICU, I cut her back to the 3 times a day. A little while after he was home I cut her down to 2 times a day - morning and night, which is where we're at now. I didn't nurse her in the evenings and mornings when I realized Owen and I had thrush in the middle of April, and she was pretty much o.k. with that.
Sometimes I really don't want to nurse her, other times I don't mind it, and other times I like that we still do that. I feel like I can handle nursing her 2 times a day, but lately she has been hounding me to nurse her more often. And when I say she can nurse at bedtime, or in the early morning hours when she asks I tell her when the sun comes up, she gets really upset. She'll hit me and whine a ton! She'll say "sing Twinkle Twinkle one time" as that's what I did to help wean her down from other nursing sessions. Occassionally she gets upset when I'm nursing Owen and she asks, and I tell her at bedtime or in the morning. I don't mind tandem nursing, but I don't want to nurse them both at the same time all the time (although the few times I've nursed them together, she's LOVED it). I'm not sure what to do - I don't like that she's getting aggressive and hitting me when I tell her she has to wait. Part of me feels like it's o.k. for her to have to wait - that's an important thing for her to understand about lots of things in life. And part of me feels bad that I don't want to nurse her as often as she seems to want it. The more she hounds me, the less I want to nurse her at all. I have this really strong feeling that I need to make sure Owen gets the milk he needs, that it's beneficial to Emma but that's secondary. I read books or play with her when Owen's nursing and I get time with just her every day and we do something special together every week. I'm just frustrated. I really want her to self-wean from these two last sessions and it's important to me that our nursing relationship end on a good note, but I feel like our nursing relationship is one of frustration with each other. Oh and fyi, Emma is VERY strong-willed, she has a very strong personality and is really controlling. I love her dearly and want to meet her needs but I feel like she's so needy with nursing right now and it's too much for me to constantly be hounded.
Any ideas on how to handle this?

Gas Gas Gas
Here we are again. Gas is low everywhere but here. It's $3.22 in most towns. These stations here are out to suck us dry! I still get 99 percent of my gas in other towns. How about you?
Have you been taking care of your animals?
I say animals because some of you don't consider them as pets. Pets are loved and taken care of. You know like: food - water - shelter - shots. If you don't do all these, you flunked as a human being. If you can't afford these, don't get them. Cute as puppies - boring as adult dogs - yes?
Set a good example: spread love not hate
One more gripe: If everyone would quit talking about everybody else. Keep your opinions to yourself and don't assume things you don't hear. Like people in a long line. Whisper something in an ear. As it goes down the line it turns into gossip, slander, verbal assaults. These hurt friends, relatives and in the end the person who started it won't take the fault. Some people my develop a health problem due to the pressure. Why would you want to cause a death because of your mouth and actions? The truth is don't add to it to hurt someone because you don't like them. Everybody get together and love one another, so we can set an example for the younger generation and run this city.

Surprise: Aussie Carbon Tax Contributes To Business Insolvencies
One would think that Australia's politicians would have gotten the hint that their "carbon tax" and cap and trade programs are really, really, really unpopular after the Queensland elections in early 2012, where the Labor Party, the major force behind all the legislation, was reduced from the the leader party to not having enough seats in Parliament to be considered a recognized political party. Alas, no, they want to continue down this stupid "green" path, which is contributing to companies going under
(Daily Caller) As U.S. lawmakers debate imposing a tax on carbon dioxide emissions, evidence is emerging that Australia's carbon tax has hit businesses hard.
News Limited Network reported the country's carbon tax was contributing to a record number of firms facing insolvency. Data from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission showed that a record 10,632 businesses faced insolvency for the 12 months to December 31 2012 – up from 10,481 for 2011.
Australia's largest manufacturing firms asked the central government to scrap the nation's carbon tax as it disadvantages local companies that are attempting to compete on a global market.
Looks like the carbon tax will reduce CO2 output by helping companies go out of business, leaving manufacturing idle and Aussie's sitting on the couch jobless and without the money to pay for electricity.
Origin Energy managing director Grant King said that the carbon tax as well as other green programs made up as much as 30 percent of small and medium sized businesses' electric bills.
Warmists do not care, they are saving Gaia from a minor increase in global temperature, and rather than practicing what they preach, they force everyone else to suffer.
Australia's tourism industry has also been impacted by carbon pricing. A study commissioned by Tourism Accommodation Australia says the carbon tax will add $115 million in costs to hotels and motels.
Those costs will go directly on the consumer. Well, in those cases where it's allowed, since parts of the law make it illegal to pass on some costs to consumers. The companies have to eat the costs. All supposedly to stop the mostly natural cycle of being in a warm period.

Beethoven & Beyond
All of Beethoven's symphonies plus nine newly-written pieces, talks, exhibition, food and drink. That's Beethoven & Beyond!
At four events over the course of twelve days we will be paying homage to one of history's greatest composers – Ludwig van Beethoven. In addition to performing all nine of his symphonies in numerical order, we have also commissioned nine contemporary works inspired by the originals.
The following nine composers are participating:
• B Tommy Andersson (b. 1964)
• Tobias Broström (b. 1978)
• Kim Hedås (b. 1965)
• Fredrik Högberg (b. 1971)
• Mats Larsson Gothe (b. 1965)
• Katarina Leyman (b. 1963)
• Kent Olofsson (b. 1962)
• Sven-David Sandström (b. 1942)
• Mirjam Tally (b. 1976)
All the performances will also be attended by Sweden's leading Beethoven expert, Åke Holmquist, who will share facts and tell stories about Beethoven, his life and works.
Good music makes you hungry, so the gourmets at Duå have created a special Beethoven sausage, which will debut at the performances for sampling.
Last but not least, for Beethoven & Beyond we have filled our exhibition space Vita kuben, with Beethoven memorabilia, including letters, manuscripts, and masks etc.
We hope you will join us at this fantastic start to the Capital of Culture year.

Powerball ticket worth $1 million sold in Minn.
The two grand-prize-winning Powerball tickets were sold in Arizona and Missouri, but seven tickets sold in Minnesota qualified as nice consolation prizes.
State lottery officials say one ticket sold in Minnesota matched all five numbers but not the Powerball. That ticket is worth $1 million.
Six other tickets matched four of the five numbers along with the Powerball. Each of those tickets is worth $10,000.
If you played Powerball, the numbers you should have played for Wednesday's drawing were 5, 16, 22, 23 and 29, and a Powerball of 6. The drawing was worth $587.5 million.
The next Powerball jackpot will be worth $40 million.

NBC's Richard Engel reports from Turkey where two car bomb explosions in the town of Reyhanli near the Syria border killed at least 40 people and injured at least 100, raising fears Syria's civil war may be crossing the border.
Two car bombs exploded near the Turkish border with Syria on Saturday, killing at least 40 people and injuring scores more in the town of Reyhanli.
"Two cars exploded in front of the municipality building and the post office in Reyhanli," Interior Minister Muammer Guler said in comments on Turkish television.
Reyhanli, in the southern Hatay province, is in an area known to be home to many refugees. There are more than 300,000 Syrian refugees in Turkey, most of them in camps along the volatile border.
President Bashar Assad's administration was the "usual suspect" in the attacks, Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc said.
"We know that the people taking refuge in Hatay have become targets for the Syrian regime," Arinc said in comments broadcast on Turkish television. "We think of them as the usual suspects when it comes to planning such a horrific attack."
There was no immediate claim of responsibility. Nor was there any comment from Damascus.
Turkey PM: Red line has been crossed
Speaking to reporters during a visit to Berlin, Turkey's Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said the country would protect itself if threatened.
Turkey supports the uprising against beleaguered Assad and has been a vocal critic against the regime.
"There may be those who want to sabotage Turkey's peace, but we will not allow that," he said. "No one should attempt to test Turkey's power; our security forces will take all necessary measures."
The United States condemned the attacks and vowed solidarity with Turkey in identifying those responsible.
"The United States condemns today's car bombings and we stand with our ally, Turkey," read a statement from Secretary of State John Kerry. "This awful news strikes an especially personal note for all of us given how closely we work in partnership with Turkey, and how many times Turkey's been a vital interlocutor at the center of my work as Secretary of State these last three months. Our thoughts are with the wounded and we extend our deepest condolences to the families of the victims."
"The United States strongly condemns today's vicious attack, and stands with the people and government of Turkey to identify the perpetrators and bring them to justice," U.S. Ambassador to Turkey Francis Ricciardone said in a statement.
NBC News Correspondent Richard Engel and Reuters contributed to this report.

Assignment: Education - Motorcycle Fabrication
La Crescent High School Students Build Motorcycle for S&S Cycle
High School shop class has gotten an over-haul. Motorcycle Fabrication is now offered at La Crescent High this year.
"It's a class where kids can pursue any interest they want that would be associated with the motorcycle industry," said Scott Martin, La Crescent High School shop teacher.
The school also started an after school Chopper Club for interested students to practice the lessons being taught in their core classes.
"With this they can actually apply math, physics, business, their English; just about any class," said Martin. "So, it's a way to actually apply it and have a hands on experience and get them excited about it."
And this year the students are all geared-up for something extra special.
"We're building a bike for S&S Cycle's 55th anniversary," said Hunter Frick, La Crescent High School 9th grader.
"S&S contacted us because we're a school that actually does stuff with motorcycles, and they wanted to see what our kids could do," said Martin.
The class at La Crescent High School is just one of a handful of programs being offered across the country. So S&S Cycle chose La Crescent as one of five schools to take on the challenge of building a bike.
"So, we donated five engines and five frames to the schools in order for them to get their builds started," said Jeremy Gilbert, S&S Cycle product analyst. "And then the schools went out and sought funding and outside assistance from local sponsorship to finish the builds."
"The students had to either build, beg or do whatever they could to get the parts," said Martin.
"We had to make a lot of phone calls and call different companies," said Brandan Fuchsel, La Crescent High School 9th grader.
"There were quite a few people who were not real interested in donating," said Martin.
"We got a lot of nos," said Fuchsel. "But there were people that were really interested in our program that decided that they want to help those kids out."
"I think those guys know that if they would have had this when they were in high school they would have had a leg-up on what they're doing now," said Martin.
These kids have had that opportunity to learn new skills and how challenging they can be.
"It's a lot more difficult to put an exhaust together,' said Frick. "A lot of little things that you wouldn't really... like... you just think it just goes together, but it's a lot of work to get it to go together and fit right."
"The kids were able to work as a team," said Martin. "To come together. To put their ideas together. And actually accomplish a goal. It's something they'll have to do for the rest of their lives whether ... whatever job they're working at."
And they got to do it on a project they're excited about.
"I like being able to go up to people and say, 'hey, I built a motorcycle once and I'm only 15 years old,'" said Fuchsel.
"It just feels amazing to know that you are one of the very few kids that get to work on something like this," said Frick. "This is like a once in a lifetime opportunity kind of thing."
And S & S Cycle helped kick-start the project.

The man wanted for the Sunday night stabbing of his mother in Elk, Wash. was arrested by police in Kalispell, MT. Monday.
Matthew Swancara, 24, was arrested by Kalispell police Monday afternoon without incident.
His mother, Sally Swancara, 56, was stabbed to death in her home Sunday night. The stabbing happened Sunday evening around 8:30 p.m. Deputies were called to a home for a domestic violence report and when they arrived found Swancara dead from multiple stab wounds.
Matthew Swancara fled from the home moments before Pend Oreille County Sheriff's deputies arrived.
"At this point we would consider him armed and dangerous," Pend Oreille County Sheriff's detective Jon Carman said Monday morning.
A Juanita Lane neighbor describes Matthew Swancara as a troubled young man who was trying to turn things around.
"He had a reputation of doing some bad things. Not necessarily violent but, but he changed. He actually, we thought, became a nicer person," the neighbor, who asked to remain anonymous, said.
Sally Swancara was a school bus driver for Riverside School District and appeared to be on the verge of starting a new career.
"Sally went away for a while to truck driving school and came back maybe two weeks ago," the neighbor said.
The Washington State Patrol crime lab was called to process the scene hoping to find what sparked the confrontation. Then detectives caught a break when Kalispell Police arrested Matthew Swancara Monday afternoon in Montana.
There is no word yet on when he will be extradited back to Washington.

Myers' Hip Not Feeling Too Hip
There seems to be a plague of hip problems around the majors leagues. Mike Lowell, Chase Utley, Alex Rodriguez, Alex Gordon, Carlos Delgado . . . all have undergone the knife recently for hip injuries. Brett Myers may be joining that list soon. Myers had an MRI which revealed fraying and a possible tear of the labrum, and is planning to get a second opinion before making a final decision.
With so many hip issues flying around, sometimes I think we're talking about a kennel full of golden retrievers and German shepherds, rather than a team of baseball players. Maybe they could have avoided problems by taking this:
Oh, wait a minute … that is for dogs. How about this instead:
The label says it's good for shoulders and hips, too.
Speaking of Brett Myers, his hip began bothering him during Wednesday night's loss to the Marlins. After taking two of three from the Yankees (and really, it should have been a sweep but for Brad Lidge's implosion on Saturday), the Phils dropped two of three to the Marlins. Aaargh. Before leaving the game, Myers gave up long balls to two of my least favorite Marlins, Dan
Ugly, oops, I mean Uggla, and Cody Ross, who always reminds me of a Christmas elf.
See, don't you think he looks a bit elfin? (kind of a scary elf, actually)
So, let's recap. Phils drop two of three to the Fish and fall behind the
Mutts Mets, Myers may need surgery, and oh yeah, my husband is going to the game this Saturday (that makes two for him, none for me so far). What can make me smile and chuckle? It's time for the…
Strange Photo of the Day
How about this picture that was on the front of the Inquirer sports page today?
Kevin Kolb goes through a drill. He enjoys rookie camp because it
provides work normally reserved for the No. 1 quarterback.
OK, so it's football, not baseball. But what kind of drill looks like this? The "end zone celebration" drill? The "I'm about to take a dump" drill? The "shake a tail feather" drill? Is he doin' "Da' Butt"? The possibilities seem endless.
Up Next
The Phillies open a weekend series at home against the Nationals tonight. Though on the surface that would seem to be a good thing, given the Nationals' woeful 13-33 record, for some reason the Phillies often have trouble against them. J.A. Happ will take the mound – if he pitches as well as he did against the Yankees, I'll be a "happ"y girl.

Where did you find those products? There must be a cream or an ointment for every ailment these days! But you're right about the hip syndrome. It does seem like it's the latest body part to get injured around the majors. I wonder if it's because of the new training programs or what.
Jane, actually I just searched Google images for "sore hip" and those popped right up (along with some really yucky looking stuff, too). It just seems odd that there's been such a rash of hip problems lately – obviously whatever the trainers are (or aren't) doing to keep the guys in shape needs to be looked at.
Ex Dodgers come back to haunt us like Cody Ross so he is one of my least favorites tooM. Another that came back to haunt us today was Coyle Hill. Those ex Ddgersm
I think that I can understand the hip problem..mine are starting to bother me after working a 12 hour shift. Occupational hazard just like the guys!
If that is Kolb's touch down dance then I think he needs some more practice! lol! And yes, very, very scary elf.
Ooh, I like the "I'm about to take a dump" drill. That's totally what it looks like. And I'm pretty sure you've scared me away with that picture of the elf… that looks evil.
Emma – I know what you mean. Why does it always seem players do better after they leave your team, i.e. Wes Helms in the Florida series earlier this week? One of those things that eternally frustrates me.
Cat – 12-hour shifts, yikes! My knees and feet are hurting just thinking about that!
Julia – Considering Kolb had minimal playing time last year and no TDs, he definitely needs work on his touchdown dance!
Emily – I'm beginning to think the Inquirer has a photo editor with a warped sense of humor like mine; there have been several strange photos of butts and crotches in recent weeks. And Cody would definitely be a South Pole Elf (if you've ever seen "Elf" you know what I mean)🙂

The U.S. military is using small spy aircraft disguised as private planes as it expands secret intelligence operations across Africa, The Washington Post reported late Wednesday.
The surveillance missions are part of a "growing shadow war against al-Qaida affiliates and other militant groups," the newspaper said.
Citing a former U.S. commander, the Post said about dozen air bases have been set up for the unarmed spy planes in Africa since 2007. The newspaper said they include sites in Burkina Faso, Uganda, Ethiopia and Kenya as well as in the Seychelles.
The report added:
"The surveillance is overseen by U.S. Special Operations forces but relies heavily on private military contractors and support from African troops.
The surveillance underscores how Special Operations forces, which have played an outsize role in the Obama administration's national security strategy, are working clandestinely all over the globe, not just in war zones. The lightly equipped commando units train foreign security forces and perform aid missions, but they also include teams dedicated to tracking and killing terrorism suspects."
The Post said that the U.S. Africa Command declined to comment on "specific operational details."
However, the command confirmed that it worked "closely with our African partners ... to conduct missions or operations that support and further our mutual security goals."

Dummy Medicine, Dummy Doctors, and a Dummy Degree, Part 2.2: Harvard Medical School and the Curious Case of Ted Kaptchuk, OMD (cont. again)
"Strong Medicine": Ted Kaptchuk and the Powerful Placebo
At the beginning of the first edition of The Web that has no Weaver, published in 1983, author Ted Kaptchuk portended his eventual academic interest in the placebo:
A story is told in China about a peasant who had worked as a maintenance man in a newly established Western missionary hospital. When he retired to his remote home village, he took with him some hypodermic needles and lots of antibiotics. He put up a shingle, and whenever someone came to him with a fever, he injected the patient with the wonder drugs. A remarkable percentage of these people got well, despite the fact that this practitioner of Western medicine knew next to nothing about what he was doing. In the West today, much of what passes for Chinese medicine is not very different from the so-called Western medicine practiced by this Chinese peasant. Out of a complex medical system, only the bare essentials of acupuncture technique have reached the West. Patients often get well from such treatment because acupuncture, like Western antibiotics, is strong medicine.
Other than to wonder if Kaptchuk had watched too many cowboy 'n' Native American movies as a kid, when I first read that passage I barely blinked. Although the Chinese peasant may have occasionally treated someone infected with a bacterium susceptible to his antibiotic, most people will get well no matter what you do, because most illnesses are self-limited. Most people feel better even sooner if they think that someone with special expertise is taking care of them. If you want to call those phenomena the "placebo effect," in the colloquial sense of the term, fine. That, I supposed, was what Kaptchuk meant by "strong medicine."
Turns out I was mistaken. Let's briefly follow Kaptchuk's career path after 1983. In the 2000 edition of The Web, he wrote:
