The 25-year-old Switzerland centre-back has been linked with an £8 million switch to Napoli after dropping down the pecking order at Emirates Stadium. However, Swiss international Djourou moved to play down the reports.
He said on Twitter: "I just want to deny what has been in the press about my transfer. It isn't true at all. I have been at Arsenal for 10 years now and I am always committed."

Bill Granger's coconut loaf recipe
Find a Bill Granger-inspred cocout loaf recipe on Kidspot's New Zealand's best recipe finder. Coconut loaf is delicious served warm with a blob of butter.
Breakfast, Budget, Cakes & Baking, Cake stall, Lunchbox
- 2 eggs
- 300ml milk
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 2 ½ cups plain flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp cinnamon powder
- 1 cup caster sugar
- 150g dessicated or shredded coconut
- 75g butter, melted
Preheat oven to 180°C (170 if fan-forced).
Lightly whisk the eggs, milk and vanilla essence in one bowl.
In another bowl, sift flour, baking powder and cinnamon and combine. Add coconut and sugar.
Make a well into the dry ingredients, and pour in the egg/milk mix, stir gently until all combined, but don't overdo it.
Pour in melted butter and stir again until combined well, but again, don't over-stir.
Pour into greased and floured loaf tin and bake on middle shelf for 1 hour.
Leave to cool slightly, and then slice/toast to serve.
- This Coconut loaf makes a great 'special breakfast' option. And if you slice the loaf and freeze the slices with freezer plastic between each slice, it's an easy 'special breakfast' too!
- If you're thinking about making this recipe, keep in mind that it is super-easy to make: no mixer required, all ingredients are pantry staples AND it smells fantastic when it's cooking.
- Bill suggests a glob of butter on toasted slices of Coconut loaf and perhaps a light dusting of icing sugar – and this certainly works for me!
- You could take a slice to work and pop it into the toaster there – a perfect at-your-desk brekkie!
- This recipe was created by Melissa Klemke for Kidspot, New Zealand's best recipe finder.

After gathering feedback from its 550 member hotels on what their "dream" central reservation system (CRS) would include, HotelREZ has partnered with Trust International to develop the new CentralREZ system utilizing Trust's yourVoyager CRS. Trust will supply global representation provider HotelREZ's member hotels with a bespoke central reservations system, a customized web booking engine and direct connections to numerous online agencies. Multiple new PMS Interfaces will also be launched. HotelREZ's member hotels will upgrade to CentralREZ the first week of November.
CentralREZ is the first system to give hotels total control of their electronic distribution, from rate build to reporting. The new simplified rate builds are a key feature, enabling hotels to build a rate on the GDS (all in just one simple page) and make it live without having to queue the rate to HotelREZ for checking. The system has a new look and feel, including a dashboard to give hotels a snapshot of the property and how it is selling, as well as user friendly, on-demand reporting, with pre-formatted reports containing specific key performance indicators and market intelligence. The system also has simplified and integrated commission claims to reduce errors and streamline operational processes.

A Bunch of European Basketball Players Did a Crazy Swimming Pool Trick Shot Video
Turkish Airlines is running an ad in Europe where Euroleague basketball players pull off a bunch of crazy passes around a pool, and then one of them dunks the ball into a hoop as he jumps in ... all in one take.
It's like the trick shot videos you see on YouTube every summer. But the passes are better, and one guy has water-powered ROCKET shoes on, so he's hovering in mid-air.

New Evidence In Facebook Killing
Published September 19th, 2013
Loading Video...
There's new evidence in the case of the south Florida man accused of killing his wife then posting a picture of her bloody body on Facebook. Authorities say this home surveillance video shows Derek Medina walk away from a confrontation with his wife and returning a few moments later to fire a gun.
The weapon cannot be seen in the video. The footage also shows Medina retrieving a jacket and his phone, apparently stopping to take a photo of his wife's body and then walking out of the home.
Medina is charged with second-degree murder.

Date of Defense 2002-03-25 Availability unrestricted AbstractEstuaries are often the receiving basins for major river systems which makes them vulnerable to anthropogenic influences. I used Ecopath and Ecosim to investigate the structure of the Weeks Bay, Alabama, USA food web, and the responses of the food web to bottom-up perturbations. Four season-specific steady-state Ecopath models were developed and used to compare the production, biomass, consumption, biomass flows, and higher order indices of ecosystem functioning of the Weeks Bay food web under winter, spring, summer, and fall conditions. The season-specific Ecopath snapshots indicated that the structure of the Weeks Bay food web was resilient. Winter had the lowest biomass and production and heavy reliance on detritus, leading to high biomass and production in spring and summer, culminating in the most complex food web in fall. Ecosim simulations were performed that examined the responses of the Weeks Bay food web to single pulses of high and low flow years, more extreme seasonal variation of river flow, and interannual variation in river flow (two high-flow years followed by four low-flow years). Baseline simulations produced cyclic behavior at the lowest trophic levels that was gradually dampened as one moved to higher trophic levels of the food web. Lower trophic level groups showed the largest responses and quickest recovery from single pulses of high flow and low flow, while upper trophic level groups showed generally the smallest responses and longest recovery. More extreme within-year variation in river flow caused exaggeration of the seasonal responses predicted under baseline conditions, with little or no change in the average long-term biomass of groups. Interannual variation in high and low flow was mimicked in the biomasses of lower trophic level groups, with some of the upper trophic level groups responding with small, yet consistent, net changes in their long-term average biomass. Additional simulations showed that net changes in biomass were due to the magnitude, number, and temporal arrangement of high- and low-flow years. Results suggest that changes in nutrient influxes or precipitation patterns can affect the variation and long-term average biomass of key groups of the Weeks Bay food web. Files

The 6-foot-7, 205 pound signal caller out of Marietta (Ga.) Wheeler talked to two different Vandy coaches.
"Coach Bankins officially offered me the scholarship and I talked to him and Coach Franklin.
"Coach Franklin told me they really loved how I throw the ball, that they love my size, they feel I fit into their system, and they feel I am very coachable."
The Vanderbilt coaches got a good look at Staley up close last Friday when the rising junior camped there.
The left-handed quarterback impressed the staff at Vanderbilt and Vanderbilt impressed Staley.
"I really like the coaching staff; They are very personalbe, they are easy to talk to, and the head coach is great. He walked around with me during the tour and I really liked the school overall."
Staley is known more right now as a basketball prospect, but he is really starting to generate interest in football too.
Boston College, College of Charleston, Georgetown, Georgia, Georgia Tech, and Ole Miss have offered him to play hoops on their campus, but getting his first offer to play football really stood out to him Wednesday morning.
"It feels better than when I got my first basketball offer," Staley said about getting the first football offer. "I was so hype after I got off the phone and it makes me want to keep working for more. I want to be one of the top players in my class, so that is what I am shooting for."
Staley is very interested in Vanderbilt, but he is still keeping his options open.
Florida, Florida State, North Carolina, Ohio State, and Wisconsin are some of the other schools showing interest in him right now.

We allude to the famous Rochester mazer, made in 1532, and given to the refectory per fratrem Robertum Pecham.
That the original word, mazer, should have been retained, is not to be wondered at.
I give and bequeath unto my sister Elizabeth Wellyfed 40, three goblets without a cover, a mazer, and a nut.
Therewith he poured forth into the mazer, and handed it to Birdalone, and lo!
I give and bequeath unto my sister Elizabeth Wellyfed 40l., three goblets without a cover, a mazer, and a nut.
It is known that when the mazer bowl was made of silver, the old name was retained.
The old English and German vessel known as a mazer was made of maple-wood, often bound and tipped with silver.
mazer, a large drinking bowl (Skeat); trees seems to mean merely wood.
Ancient drinking vessels of wood such as the mazer, a drinking bowl much like a punch bowl, were decorated with silver bands.
Meantime Alan, one may believe, had consigned the mazer to a safe place, and joined in the congratulations of Johanne's friends.

It's very hard to run the ball when the defense is in the backfield before you take the snap, or of you don't get a single hole. Blame the O-Line on that.

I'm excited. I think Ted Lilly in particular has a chance to have a great year. The Bronson Arroyo's and Mark Redman's of the world, in their first year of going from the American League to the National League, and particularly in Lilly and Arroyo's case with going from the tough American League East to the National League, it should be an advantage. Usually when pitchers switch leagues, they have a little more of an advantage over a hitter that switches leagues. Aside from the fact that Lilly is a flyball pitcher, we should note that the wind does blow in quite a bit at Wrigley. Being a flyball pitcher when the wind is howling off the lake is a good thing at Wrigley. I think he's going to have a very good year as a solid No. 2 guy.
In the case of Jason Marquis, I think durability is the key word. He's going to give you probably 190 innings plus or 35 starts. He had a bad year last year; there's no question about that. But he's young enough to get it together and has very good stuff. When you consider how much money other guys are making, if Marquis were coming off a really good year, the Cubs would not have been able to get him for $7 million per year. The most important thing for the rotation as I look at it is the Cubs are going to have five guys. We don't know exactly who all five are going to be depending on the health of Mark Prior. Depending on the other guy, you're going to have the Rich Hill's, the Lilly's, the Carlos Zambrano's and Marquis's – guys who can take the ball every other day, and hopefully Mark can be one of those guys. If not, maybe you have a Wade Miller or a Sean Marshall, but just five guys that can give you six or seven innings every time out.
If you have a better offense and a bullpen that's already one of the best in the big leagues, then just having durability in your starting rotation is very underrated. The Cubs have addressed that I think in the off-season.
You spoke of Prior just now. What have you heard with regards to his current health status and off-season progression?
I don't really have an update. I haven't monitored his progress or been told anything. I think he's been throwing. I would like to think that Mark hopes to go into Spring Training with a pretty good chance of being on the Opening Day roster. The thing for Mark is that the last three Spring Training's, I think he's made a total of one Cactus League start. It would be nice if he could go in with everybody else and not kind of be behind the eight ball in that regard. The Cubs are going into it thinking that if he's not ready, they're still going to be OK. I think that's a big difference from the last couple of years.
What have you heard from the Kerry Wood camp and how his progression has gone?
I've heard he's in great shape and that he's lost weight. I look for Kerry to have a huge year. He's going to be in the bullpen all year. Where he'll pitch is kind of still up in the air a little bit. You have Bob Howry in the eighth and the Cubs are going to go into Spring Training with Ryan Dempster in the ninth, so Kerry could pitch in the seventh, the eighth or even the ninth if needed. I don't think you want to go into the season putting Wood in a spot where he has to be the closer, though. You just want to kind of ease him in a little bit to where he can air it out. My guess would be that his velocity would be terrific in short spurts. He has the mentality to be a terrific short reliever. What I've heard is that Woody could have gone somewhere else and made a lot more money, but he showed a lot of loyalty in coming back to the Cubs. I look for him to have a very big year.
What does the acquisition of Neal Cotts bring to the table in your opinion?
He brings versatility. If you need him as a starter, he could possibly do that. He gives you another left-handed option and the Cubs have a lot of balance right now with Cotts, Scott Eyre and Will Ohman on the left side. And they're stacked with the right-handers. I mean, Michael Wuertz had a terrific end of the season. He was a guy that did not have a good Spring Training. He pitched in the minors quite a bit early on in the year, but I thought Michael looked as good as he's ever looked in the big leagues during the second half of last year. Kerry Wood is now going to the bullpen, and with Howry, Dempster, Roberto Novoa and Carlos Marmol possibly relieving, the Cubs had a plethora of hard-throwing right-handed relievers. David Aardsma is going to be a terrific big league pitcher and I think he will help the White Sox, but I think the Cubs were able to use that surplus and acquire a left-hander who can bring some versatility. The Cubs hope that Neal Cotts can get back to the form he showed in 2005.
Turning to the offense ... Alfonso Soriano got one of the biggest deals in this sport's history. How much does he alone automatically make the Cubs a better team?
With the power, the speed and the fact that his on-base percentage was around .350 last season, he is one of the elite leadoff hitters in the game today, and he instantly makes the Cubs better. He's a superstar player and the key for me is that he continues to get on base at a .340, .350 and hopefully a .360 clip. He is going to strike out, which I'm fine with as long as he takes his walks. Last year, I think he was almost up to 70 walks, which is pretty good. You don't want to see Alfonso Soriano in the 30 to 40 walk range. That's not going to be enough for the leadoff hitter. They need this guy to get on base where he can steal bases and make some things happen. He's a terrific player and has a chance to go down as one of the great Cubs of all-time considering he signed an eight-year contract. He's going to be here awhile.
Mark DeRosa was given a three-year deal to play second. Does this affect Ryan Theriot's chances of making the ballclub in any way?
No, I think Ryan is going to make the team. He's going to be a super utility guy that can play all over the diamond and it takes a lot of pressure off of him. One of the things with young players, and maybe we saw this a little in Ronny Cedeno and possibly Matt Murton early in the year – although Murton had a really good second half – was that you don't want to put too much pressure on guys playing on a full-time basis for the first time at this level because they're going to go through some struggles. In the case of Cedeno, defensively he went through a spurt where he struggled. Offensively, he just had stretches where he couldn't make good contact.
In Murton's case, he hit third at one point because of the injury to Derrek Lee and some other things in the order. You don't want to have to count at this point in Matt Murton's career on him being in the best spot in the lineup, the spot where your best hitter is, and that's No. 3. He should be a supplemental player right now. In the case of Ryan Theriot, let him relax, be an energy guy, get his 250 to 300 at-bats, be a pinch runner and play a little second, short, third or the outfield if needed. The Cubs had enough money to go out and get a veteran presence at second base in Mark DeRosa. I don't think it's an indictment in any way of Ryan Theriot. I just think that in the end, you have more depth now. They signed Daryle Ward, so the bench should be better now, and they re-signed Henry Blanco. The Cubs on paper right now are a much better club than they were at the end of the season.
Part two of our sit-down with Len Kasper will appear later this week.

The Old Trinity Church is located at:
4 Van Deusenville Road
Housatonic, MA
Originally built as the St. James Chapel in 1829 in the Berkshires, and later expanded in 1866 when it was renamed the Trinity Church, The Guthrie Center has had a long and fascinating history. Anyone who has seen the film "Alice's Restaurant" will know the story of how Arlo Guthrie, the son of Woody Guthrie, a well respected and talented folk musician, came to visit and eventually settle in this location. The Trinity Church, where the song "The Alice's Restaurant Massacree" began and where the movie "Alice's Restaurant" was filmed, continues to service the local and international community.
If you have not seen the film or heard the song, both American classics from the 1960's, you should. Those who are familiar with Arlo and his adventures will be happy to know that he is offering The Summer Concert Series at Trinity Church, which begins late spring and runs through the summer. The goal is to "keep the local and global traditions of folk and acoustic music alive and well".
The Guthrie Center keeps the philosophy of Woody and Marjorie Guthrie, to provide a place to work with the issues of our times. Their primary interest is in "developing a deeper understanding of the world and its peoples – through the music which gives our unique qualities a voice".

1. can you leagley own one in your state?Originally Posted by ArmyCop
2. if yes to #1, then look up the dealers in your area that stock NFA weapons. If nobody does, you can check out GA, Auction Arms, Gunbroker. BUT you need a guy in your state that's a NFA or Class3 to accept the gun.. or supressor for you.
3 There is a 200.00 tax stamp imposed on the transfer..
4. you need to fill out a Form 4 (which your Chef, or local Sherriff MUST sign off that says you're a good boy), along with 2 FBI print cards (prints done and signed by the LEO who took the prints), copy of your current drivers' license, Handgun permit, and two Pasport color photos of yourself (shoulders up to head photo, preferably with tie on)
5. Reason for issue: "Advanced Weapons Collector"
(this sounds much better than "cuz I want one" )
6. bring everything back to the Dealer, along with a Certified funds check for 200.00 and the dealer will send everything out.
7. When you get approved (in about 4-6 months) you can go get your Supressor or NFA weapon, with your paperwork.
Sounds like going thru hell, but it's well worth the trip.
If it's the FFL (Dealers License) then you go directly to the BATF for that.
I'm pretty positve that should you try to get info from the Sherrif/Chief, you'll find they have less info on the whole procedure than yourself

~ Graco Open Top Swing ~
My children as babies have had bouncy chairs, rocking swings etc, and when I had my last little one he was no exception. I bought him a lovely bouncy chair and take along swing in the Fisher Price Rainforest theme but whilst browsing on my local ebay bargains I found a large Graco Open Top Swing for £12. I really liked the simple look of this swing as it was nice and light in colour unlike the last one we had which was navy blue. I bid, won and collected it and was thrilled with it. I of course stripped it down and washed it by putting it in the machine on a 30degree wash and the seat came up lovely. It simply fits over the seat frame and little poppers pop together to keep it in place.
The colour way/ design we have is the Graco Lovin'hug Geometric. The frame is finished in sliver with pearly white plastic trims and fittings. The seat cover is mostly a very pale cream/ivory colour with geometric lime green and orange patterns, the bit where the baby sits is coloured in lime green with an orange trim as is the head hugger with this having a padded surround in the cream/geometric patteren.
It's very asthetically pleasing and very cute and sweet.
The seat has a tray which has two round indentations in which you can place baby's bottle and a longer bit in the middle in which my little one likes to have his bananas or sometimes a few wotsits!
The tray has two very sweet looking characters attached, one being a zebra with a push down head that makes his tummy beads jiggle and the other being a cute giraffe with little rings around it's neck.
The tray is hinged on one side allowing you to simply pop it up to place baby in and then clip it back into place by putting it back down and pushing on the edge until you hear it click into place.
It also came with a removable mobile at the top which has three little teddy bears wearing green dungarees dangling from it. It's very sweet!
The swing has numerous functions, it has six speeds of swing and has a musical option as well as a nature sounds option. The music consists of a lot a classical tunes and lullabies, the nature sounds are waterfalls and birds and the like.
On the one side of the swing you have a little oval pad which is where you will find the buttons, the top buttons consist of the speed buttons ranging from 1 to 6 and in the middle you will see the on/off button. Below these are three yellow buttons, one allows the nature sounds to be activated, the other is a timer which has pre-set times and the last one allows you to activate the sounds/melodies. There are another three buttons under this these are the volume controls, +/- and a mute button.
I really like this swing, my little one didn't really like being put down to sleep ... Silly mummy! But he never minded being put down in his swing, I generally used speed 2, as I found this ample enough to get him off to sleep without swinging him too madly!
He is 9 months old now and sits in his swing to have his morning bottle and that is pretty much it! It was however a great use to us when he was a baby for the above reasons which of course were my fault for snuggling him all the time!
The swing folds ... I don't really see why as the seat part doesn't fold, so folding it down doesn't make it all that much smaller, however it easy to do with the simple pushing of two buttons.
The swing had a four position recline seat and I think it lies back enough without it being absolutly flat, it also sits quite upright which is useful now when he does go in it when I mop the floor. He will sit then and watch a little bit of Mickey Mouse! It also has a 3 point harness.
Overall I have found this a great swing. It's nice and sturdy whilst being comfortable for baby.
I purchased my Graco Playtime Swing before my second son was even born. With my first born I was given an older version, and to me it was the best thing since sliced bread. How parents coped before hand I don't know, they must have had a lot of patience and tired arms!
If I need to do some work or just have a few mins to myself the swing comes out and keeps my son entertained for a good half hour at least. The best thing is that most of the time it sends him to sleep.
The Graco playtime swing, winner of practical parenting, pregnancy and baby magazine awards, is suitable from birth. The swing is great for rocking your baby to sleep, or for him/her to just sit in it and play.
The swing folds, for easy storage, you just simply press in two buttons, and then the swing can be easily stored or even transported for when you have places to go!
The swing can be used until your baby weight reaches 11kgs.
The height of the swing is approximately 105cm and the net weight is approximately 6.71kg.
The swing is powered by 4 size D batteries. These are placed in the control panel which is on the right hand side of the swing. Here also are the buttons that control the speed, music and a timer button. The swing has six speeds, three low, which are the powered by the green button and three high which is the red button. The music button is blue.
The seat has three reclining positions to suit your baby, and the covers, which are padded, are machine washable, which is great for sickly or messy babies. For younger babies a head cushion is provided to give that extra support, but this is removable when it is no longer needed.
There is a secure three point harness to fasten your baby into the swing, and a good sturdy tray, which also stops baby from sliding out the bottom. There is a little toy bar that attaches to the tray, and a detachable mobile that clips to the top of the swing.
To put baby into the swing you simply click the tray upwards at one side and strap him/her in, the click the tray back down.
On purchasing my Graco swing, I took it home and put it together. The swing is flat packed but is very easy to assemble. I did it by myself!
Max used the swing straight away. When he was first born the head cushion nicely supported his head, and the lowest speed setting was enough to rock him to sleep. This was great, it gave me the time to make bottles or play with Leon.
As max got older, and gained more weight, we increased the speed to let him rock at a nice speed. It doesn't always make him go to sleep, but it entertains him for a while, and now he likes to sit in it and watch telly and eat bananas!
We have never really used the music bit on the swing, there are 15 songs which I think are just nursery rhymes, the toy bar is another thing we haven't really used. Max was never really interested in it, so we just detached it.
The detachable mobile was great when he was younger, he used to watch it and slowly drift off asleep (it no longer works unfortunately!)
One thing I am disappointed with is that the batteries don't seem to last very long, we bought as stated but they do seem to run out quite quickly.
With the swing folding to half the size, I store it under the stairs; it's nice that when people come round there aren't loads of baby toys or items clogging up the living space. I have never used the timer control either, but you can set the swing to go for a certain amount of time.
I think the Graco Playtime Swing is a great investment to any parent. It's easy to keep clean with washable covers, I think now you can chose from two different colours. It's great for rocking baby to sleep instead of doing it by hand or the dreaded car! But also it's great for them to sit in, when they get to that age where they just like to know what's going on around them.
I purchased my swing from Toys r' us I paid £69 for it, as it was on offer. I'm not sure if you can get it from there any more as it is not on the website. I think you can expect to pay up to around £99 for the swing. To me it is worth it, and if you keep it in good condition it can always be sold on.
Thanks for reading!
I bought my Graco swing 18 months ago as I had a half price offer on the swing. My daughter used it for about 8 months and it has since been passed on to two friends for them to use for their babies. It is one of the best baby buys and has proved to be great value for money and very hard wearing. What Exactly Is The Baby Swing? *^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^* The Graco baby swing is a battery operated swing suitable for babies from birth up to 11kg, which is about 9 months. The swing has six different swing speeds, 3 recline positions, 10 different musical tunes, volume control, timer and a toy bar. It is by far one of the best baby buys I made. The idea is that you put your baby in the swing to soothe them, rock them to sleep, entertain them, or to just keep them somewhere safe while you do a job in another part of the room. The swing has an open top which is excellent as it makes it very easy to put your baby in and out of it. Not all swings have an open top but I found this a very useful safety feature. Where Can You Buy It From? *^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^* I bought the baby swing from Verbaudet for the bargain price of £50 ? catalogue first buy offer! It can be purchased from Mothercare, Toys R Us, and many independent nursery stores. It is worth shopping around for a deal as the prices do vary. How Is It Packaged? *^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^* The swing comes in a huge, some what heavy box (about 5kg). All the pieces were well wrapped in cardboard and bubble wrap and it comes with clear instructions, both written and pictured. It takes about five minutes to unpack the box as it is all well wrapped. It took two people about 20 minutes to build it. It is fairly simple to do, though you need good eyesight as it requires so precise fitting. The swing does not come with the four D batteries that are need to operate to automatic swing or music. Is It Easy To Use? *^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^* As the swin
g does not have a top over it is simple to put your child in and out. I found it best to fully open the play tray to 180 degrees so it is in front of the swings leg so the swing can not move while you put your child in. There is a safety harness which must always be used. When you have safely strapped your child in you put down the play tray, being careful not to trap your childs legs as it goes inbetween their legs as an extra measure to stop them from falling out. It clicks in to place so you know it is safe. To select a speed for the swing you press either the green or red buttons and the swings starts up, gradually obtaining more speed. There are three lights on the side of the swing to indicate what speed you have selected. There are three green speeds, which are the slower, and three red speeds. The red speeds are too fast for any young babies but older babies find these more fun. To choose music you simple press the music button and adjust the volume to your chosen level. The swing gradually builds up speed until it reaches the level it is set at and then remains on this. This takes about 1 minute. You are able to recline the seat into three different positions though I rarely used this. I found it difficult to do when Kayleigh was in it as it was fiddly to move the metal bar into another setting in a smooth action, it was always to fast and sudden and startled Kayleigh. You can set the swing on a timer to turn off at between 10 ? 30 minutes. This is useful if you are putting your child to sleep in it and easy to set. The lights flash to tell you it is on timer and then automatically turns itself off when finished. To get your child out you turn off the swing and open up the play tray via two tabs that you have to hold in. This is awkward at first but you soon get the hang of it. I always have the pay tray pinned in front of the swing legs so it does not swing while I am trying to get her out. Then simply undo the strap and get them out.
Does My Daughter Like It? *^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^* Kayleigh did not take to her baby swing straight away. I first tried her in it at about a week old. Although this swing is suitable from birth I would not suggest it for children under 1 month. Kayleigh hated it when I first tried her in it, and looking back on it, it was a fairly silly thing for me to do. Although the swing comes with a head support for younger child it is not enough for such a young and small baby to feel safe. From about 6 weeks this swing proved to be a life saver and give me a little time and space to get things done in another part of the room while Kayleigh is entertained and safe. As the swing is only suitable up to 11kg Kayleigh was out of it at 8 months. Not only because she was nearly 11kg but because she decided it was more fun to hold on to the side of the swing and stop it moving rather than swing happily. We do not use the play bar that came with the swing as we found it boring, it simply had three large balls on it, not very much fun. What About Storing It? *^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^* The swing is quite big standing at about 80cm tall and 60 cm wide so you do not want to keep it up all the time as it does take up a lot of room. You can fold the swing legs together which reduces its width and lets you store it behind items. To fold the swing you push the tabs in either side of the top of the swing and you bring the legs together. I found it easier to bring the front legs to the back as it is easy to stand it and more compact. I kept it behind the sofa when it was folded as it is quite heavy and I wanted to keep it in the room I used it in. Always make sure you have fully opened the swing and it has clicked into place as I once opened it up in a hurry, put Kayleigh in it and turned it on and ones side collapsed. This was completely my fault and a harsh and very dangerous way to remind me to always make sure that it is fully open and se
cure before putting my daughter in. Is It Easy To Clean? *^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^ All the fabrics on the swing are machine washable, though I had to wash them alone as they tended to run. They are easy to take on and off. The head restraint is not attached to the swing and the seat padding is just clipped underneath so it is easy to remove. As with all babies, my daughter has been sick in the swing from time to time but it is easy to clear up with the seat going in the machine and the rest of the swing plastic, which can be wiped cleaned easily. Is A Baby Swing For Me? *^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^ This was definitely one of the best baby buys I got. I have since lent the swing out to friends with new babies and it is now on to its third family. I didn?t want to sell the swing as I wanted to have it for my next so I have been lending it to various friends who may have not been able to have afford it themselves. I found it entertained my daughter whilst giving me two hands to get on with my jobs and relax a little knowing she was having fun. It was also great for rocking her to sleep. I really could not have coped without it as I was getting very tired as my daughter rarely slept for more than an hour over the first couple of months. I give it four out of five, losing one point for collapsing on me once. Though it was my fault and could have been easily avoided it should not have been so easy to do. Do not let this put you off though as neither myself nor any of my friends have had this problem since and I warned them about it before I lent it to them. Thanks for reading and i hope you will have fun with this, Em XX
I bought this swing when my daughter was 1 month old. My daughter uses it frequently for fun and nodding off. My only problem with this product is that it has a removable toy tray which simply clicks onto the tray. The toys on this tray are dangerous as my daughter 7 months (now exploring everything) keeps getting her fingers stuck in the toys and even i have trouble removing them whilst she screams the house down. I now leave this tray off for safety reasons and scatter a few toys on the tray instead but most of these get thrown onto the floor and out of reach. The swing has 4 recline positions but there only looks like 2. When it is layed down the harness is too low for an older baby. All complaining aside it is still a great product but i dont think it will be long before my daughter will have outgrown it.
Graco is the well known company which produces a range of baby goods such as prams, baby walkers, swings, car seats etc. My experience or should I say my baby's experience?? is in relation to their baby swings. There are three types of baby swings Fun time, Play time & Happy time the first two types are electronic & the Happy time swing has a wind up mechanism i.e no batteries. Fun time & Play time are basically the same type of swings but differ only by the design of the seat cover. They both have 4 recline positions from lying down to allowing the baby to sit right up & choice of two swing speeds from low to high, the high speed is actually quiet fast & is the one which I used most as my baby preferred this now that he's slightly older a low speed would probably suit younger babies. The Happy time swing has just two recline positions althought the speeds are the same. The swings are suitable for babies from birth upto 9 months or 25lb. We Bought the play time swing when our baby was about 41/2 months old we had tried our upmost to avoid making this purchase as it was quiet expensive. But he was a very colicky baby & wouldnt sleep without being rocked. It was extremely difficult to put him down as he refused to play or sleep on his own!! we tried just about everything & non of the advice offered seemed to work & that's when we decied to buy a baby swing as I personally felt it would give me hands free time at the same time I would know he was safe. The swings are priced from £50 right upto £100 plus depending on wher you purchase them we bought the play time swing from kiddiecare.com for £57. the best price we could find for the swing although the happy time swings are slightly cheaper compared to the electronic swings. When we bought the swing we had assumed that as soon as he sat in it he would love the rocking motion just like the advert on Gracos website baby's love being rocked dont they?? well not f
or my little one as he would start screaming as soon as we would put him in the swing, We tried just about everyday & at around 5 months he would sit it in for about 5-10 mins & thats whne he discovered how to hold on to the post on the swing & stop the swing from moving!! he'd hold one side tighltly which would just stop the swing from moving until he let go. Recently (he's 6 months now although we were told it was suitable for babies up until 9 months!!)) he has found a way to lean completly on to either the left or the right which luckily I noticed as the swing continued moving which resulted in his head being hit on the post on the side he had leaned over needless to say he has never been back in the swing. I rang the helpline for kiddiecare.com immediately from whom I had bought the swing informing them as to what had happened & their advice was just to buy him a baby walker!!! as he could sit upright now, surely this was'nt the answer as it could easily have been a dangerous accident had I not been there & what guarantee is there that it wouldnt happen to other babies. Well that's a completely different opinion on Kiddiecare! Finally If you do decide to buy a baby swing make sure your baby does enjoy it & it is safe for baby
What can I say? Where would we be without this wonderful bit of kit? I had one of those babies that would not sleep. I longed for just an hour of peace during the day. The graco battery operated swing was an answer to our prayers. Set on the fastest setting, it was the only thing that could lull our baby to sleep. It was possibly the best £90 we ever spent. The only drawback is the fact that it is battery operated, although to be perfectly honest we never had to replace the batteries and we used it daily for a couple of hours for at least four months, and the bloody music. I still have nightmares about that music. My toddler loved it and kept turning it on, much to our annoyance, but hey, it was a small price to pay. It's not something that I would have considered prior to having a baby, but it is incredibly useful. I have a massive problem now in that I gave it away and now have another baby that won't sleep ....
Graco Advantage 11 open top swing. A real advantage for new mums!! This a battery operated baby swing designed from birth to around 9 months. With varying speeds and seat positions, the swing is suitable for the tiniest baby. (Even low birth weight) Supplied with a set of play beads that affixes to the front of the tray the swing retails for about £90, and is available in most nursery shops. We bought our swing when my toddler was a tiny baby, it was my dream piece of equipment, and when the baby came home, and so did the swing. There were quite a few differences between the three Graco swings on sale in Mother care at the time. One was wind up, which was totally out of the question, because I was certain that the older children would over wind it. The next a battery operated swing, did not look that substantial, did not recline much, and did not have an open top, neither did it play music. Although the others were much cheaper than the Advantage 11, the features really did not sell them to me. On opening the box on our return, we were horrified to find loads of pieces; I wish that they had told us it was self-assembly. The instructions were a nightmare, and the pieces not labelled, but we finally managed to put it together. The seat cover is padded and comfortable with two sausage shaped cushions which slip easily into the pockets on the back of the seat cover, to provide support for younger and smaller babies and it is fully machine washable. The whole seat frame and swinging arms are removable by pressing the safety buttons positioned at the top of the arms, and the whole swing folds in half by pressing the buttons on the musical part of the swing and pushing the legs together. The legs are constructed of painted steel, and are extremely chunky; they also cover a large amount of floor space, by joining the front legs and the back legs respectively by the joining bars, which to my mind is far more
stable than just four legs on the floor. On the seat is a lift up tray, which can be raised by pressing the small clip underneath the right side of the swing (facing you), and lifting, allowing very easy access for your child. There is a piece of plastic underneath the tray, which acts as a crotch restraint. A waist and crotch, clip lock clasp and harness secure your child safely in the swing. A large selling point of the swing to us was the fact that it was open top and there would be no chance of bumping the babies head when I lifted her out. Our swing only has one tune (very infuriating), but I believe that future models included a choice of several, however our volume is adjustable and it is possible to run the swing without music as the controls for the swing speed and music are totally separate. Our swing only has three speeds, the slowest to lull your baby to sleep up to the fastest which is designed for playtime. As the seat reclines and sits up in varying positions, it is particularly suitable for older babies too. The tray provides a space on which your baby can play. Included with our swing was a set of play beads, which I have to say are totally useless for tiny babies, but my 7 month old is now starting to show an interest in them. It is easy to remove them, they simply hook over the edge of the tray, and it is of no consequence whether they are fixed to the swing or not. The swing is extremely economical on batteries. We used the same two D size batteries for the entire duration of use. (9 months). It was only when my daughter then nearly 10 months and started to make a grab for the bars that we ceased using it. Our Advantage swing has been in constant use for over 2 years now (we lent it to a friend who returned it when our new baby was born), and is still as good as the day that we bought it. In conclusion I feel that this swing although expensive is a worthwhile consideration,
it has all the features that you need for soothing and entertaining even the fussiest child. There is a disadvantage though, that flipping music that you are certain that you can still hear wherever you are (LOL)
When my daughter was born an electric swing was top of my shopping list although at the time, two years ago, there wasn't the choice there is now. Having said that, I think we got the best available and have yet to see a swing that could top it.The Graco Open Top Swing is a three speed, four position with music although there is a two speed without music available too. I very quickly discovered that two speeds would have been more than adequate as we actually only used setting 2 the whole time the swing was in use. The music has three volume settings but we prefered it in "off" mode, it really was awful. My daughter and I loved it. She took all her naps in there and it was a terrific "babysitter" if I needed to put her down. Like most babies she loves to be on the move and the gentle action soothed her even when she was at her most fretful. Being so small we didn't find the tray useful as she was never able to reach it but it is a good size for placing small toys or a snack on. Suitable for babies from birth up to 25lbs in weight the swing was in daily use (three hours a day sometimes) for almost two years. It takes four size D batteries which can be expensive if you use a brand name but I only had to change the batteries three times. The one thing that lets this product down is the noise of the motor. Although it didn't bother my daughter I found it annoyingly loud. Overal, this has to be one of my best buys.
The open top on this baby swing aims to allow easy access to the baby. Choice of speed settings, battery operated. Frame folds for storage.

Interpretive Summary: Citrus canker is an economically important disease and is the target of an eradication program in south Florida. Little is known about the physical and biological processes of dispersal, deposition and infection. This information is important to our understanding of the epidemiology of the disease, to the eradication program and for the future management of the disease. This paper reports on the results of some experiments that were done to compare a number of different sampling apparatus to investigate which were most suited to sampling bacteria of citrus canker in wind-blown spray. The results showed that the PAS450 collected no detectable sample, the Burkard cyclone consistently collected spray, but was found to be less effective than panels or funnels, which collected the greatest volume of splash. Panels sampled the greatest volume, and effectively collected bacteria-laden wind-blown splash. Greater sampling area of the panels allowed a more representative sample compared to other methods tested. Panels or funnels are likely better methods to sample wind-blown spray compared to the two volumetric sampler types used. Panels and funnels are being used to investigate the dispersal of bacteria of citrus canker.
Technical Abstract: Four techniques were evaluated to sample wind-blown splash from canker-infected citrus plants. Two volumetric cyclone samplers (PAS450 and Burkard Cyclone) and two passive samplers (funnels and panels) were evaluated. The PAS450 collected no detectable sample in any trial. The Burkard cyclone consistently collected spray, but was found to do so even when powered off. Thus the Burkard cyclone essentially functioned passively negating the advantage of a volumetric sampler for this kind of sampling. Panels collected the greatest volume of splash followed by funnel traps. Colony forming units (CFU) of bacteria per ml collected was significantly different between Burkards and panel samplers, but panels and funnels collected similar concentrations (Burkards, funnels and panels collected 1182, 1426 and 2667 CFU of bacteria per ml, respectively). Positive correlations were found between the volume collected and the total bacteria collected, and between CFU of bacteria per ml and total bacteria sampled for panel and funnel samples, but there was no correlation between CFU of bacteria per ml and volume sampled for either sampler. The Burkard sample showed a strong positive correlation (P>0.01) between volume sampled, the total quantity of bacteria sampled and CFU of bacteria per ml. The CFU per ml collected by the panels and funnels were more similar (coefficient of determination, R2=0.97) compared to the relationship between the Burkard and panel catches (R2=0.68), or compared to the relationship between the Burkard and funnel catch (R2=0.62) catches. Panels sampled the greatest volume, and effectively collected bacteria-laden wind-blown splash. Greater sampling area of the panels allowed a more representative sample compared to other methods tested.

For most home buyers and designers today, the small master bedroom ideas is one of the most important features of the House can have? Kitchen, bathroom, master suite and easily top a list of the most important features for home buyers.

The great one about having a separate master suite is that it can be made with your own style; that said the style of the decoration and the scheme does not necessarily have to match the rest of the House.
To be sure, some master suite do, but because the master suite are often separate, private, and closed-off, it's not important to have a flow with the rest of the House as it would be for the kitchen and dining room flows, for example.

In Reply to: RE: Yes, it really is a cactus needle cantilever posted by Rob Doorack on July 21, 2012 at 16:58:23
Perhaps one day Mr. Ledermann might have the cactus needle cantilever option in his re-tipping services if he figures out how to do it. I wouldn't put it past him. As for the Hyperion, I'd love to hear one. Someday, perhaps....
Follow Ups:
imagine the endless discussions and flame wars that will brew between the adherents and detractors of various species of cacti from different geographical locations and from different areas of the cacti itself:
"The mid-bass attenuation of the cantilever made from the needle from the very top of the barrel cactus found just southwest of Tuscan ..."
The debate would extend to the political arena because of inferior foreign-sourced cacti with cheaper needle-picking labor overhead :)
In the 78 rpm days there were many who preferred cactus needles to the more commonly used steel. As I recall, they were usually good for one play.
Apparently there is some vindication for their preference.
And, yes, there were discussions of which were the best, and cactus needle lovers were often quite selective. Fortunately, the cactus needles cost something less than $7500.
the cactus huggers who will demand government intervention to stop the "Pricker Pluckers" from cannibalizing the cantilevers.
Sounds like an MSN headline.

The Battle of Kashyyyk - Kachirho Beach Assault
In Stores
NOTE: The beach is not on the main picture because having the entire set in it would make the picture too unclear/blurry.
In the last year of the Clone Wars, the CIS launched a massive invasion of the Wookiee homeworld Kashyyyk. While Kachirho's beaches are attacked by separatist droid forces, a droid gunship is being shot down by a Wookiee ornithopter. Will the combined strength of the Wookiees and Clone Troopers be enough to hold back the invaders?
This set includes a section of Kachirho's beach with two barricades, three platforms over the water, as well as a HMP droid gunship and a Wookiee ornithopter / fluttercraft and 10 minifigures. It could also serve as a giant battlepack to boost your Wookiee, Droid and 41st forces.
The third in a series of sets on the Battle of Kashyyyk. At least 3 more will follow, so stay tuned!
2x 41st Legion Trooper a.k.a. Sarlacc Battalion Trooper
