there is an old song that my mom sings to me that her mom sang to her.. it goes
swinging in the hammock, underneath the trees
you and me together swaying in the breeze
as we go high, low playing peek a boo among the stars
high, low in a castle made of dreams come true
for me and you
nearest thing to heaven that i ever seen was swinging in the hammock only you and me
does anybody know the name or the rest of these lyrics or anything? i would like to surprise her and get the song

Background
China is already the third largest medical device and equipment market in the world, after the United States and Japan. Within 5 to 7 years, China will surpass Japan and become the second largest medical device market in the world.
Meantime, the exports of the medical device and equipment are also hot. In 2007, China exported 12.7 billion USD worth of medical device to the world, is three times the amount of imports. One of the typical products is medical bed.
Introduction
A medical bed apparatus is provided that has a body frame, a hoisting assembly and a hammock supported from the hoisting assembly by hanging strings. The body frame is positioned over a hospital bed or the like and a person is placed on the hammock.
A pair of drums is provided in the hoisting assembly so that the hanging strings may be hoisted or wound on the drums in a first direction to lift the hammock. The drums are preferably cone-shaped such that the head portion of the hammock is initially lifted at a rate that is faster than the rate the foot portion of the hammock is lifted.
Once the person’s upper torso is substantially upright, the lifting rate for the head and foot portion of the hammock are substantially equal. Once the person is lifted, the hoisting assembly is horizontally movable in both the x and y directions so that the person may be maneuvered away from the bed and positioned in an upright sitting position over a urinal, bath or chair. The lifting and maneuvering procedure may be reversed so that the person is repositioned over the bed and returned to a substantially horizontal position by reversing the hoist direction of the drums. The hanging strings are maintained in a substantially vertical orientation by moving the drum hoisting the head portion and the drum hoisting the foot portion of the hammock toward each other as the person is lifted and moving the drums away from each other as the person is lowered.

Owners often don’t realise how much entertainment some cats need, especially when young. Bengals, particularly, can become overly demanding and even aggressive if not given enough to do. Bengals like to practise their hunting skills so anything involving furry or feathery toys is much enjoyed.
Toys on elastic which bounce around are very useful. Also walk around the house dragging them behind you. I have even tied one to my foot for one very difficult youngster who had great fun stalking the toy around the house. Bengals like fetching in the way dogs do. They don’t all do it, but lots of Bengal owners tell you that their cat retrieves. A small ball with a bell in is the best starting point. Roll it across the floor and try to get the cat to fetch it. If it isn’t sure, go to it and roll it back to your starting point.
Toys on elastic can also be tied to door handles for entertainment value. Each time someone uses the door the toy swings and attracts the cat repeatedly.
If you have ever had your cat attack your shopping then you know boxes and cellophane are no boundary. You can use this to give your cat a new toy. Get a small box and punch several holes in it. Put a small piece of ham or chicken in it and let your cat play with it on the floor. Bengals particularly love destroying things so they can let out that feeling by ripping up the box.
There are a few commercial toys on the market for cats that can help. There is a small cat treat ball. It has holes in it and you put some tasty treats in. As the cat bashes it around, food falls out randomly and the cat can play for ages trying to work out the trick. If you put some dry treats in it, also put a few tasty morsels in to keep the cat trying harder to get the better food out.
There is also a toy called a “Babble Ball”. Usually available on the internet. This is a hard plastic ball that speaks random phrases when pushed and cats love toys that do something.
Cats like climbing so scratching posts, hanging hammocks they can swing on are a must. You can also make life more interesting by buying tunnels. Most stores do these now and they are usually nylon ones, some with a side hole half way along. Buy several and watch your cat charging through them. One thing they especially like is if you pin one end to a window sill. This means they can slide down it like escaping from a plane.
If your cat is quite young, you may have to use all of these ideas to fully occupy it. Vary the toys, put some away and swap them every few days. This works better than having lots of toys always available.
Don’t forget the scratching posts! Even if your cat goes out it appreciates a good post, often several around the house. The type they can sit on with platforms are popular, it brings out the lion in them!
Cats often like the simplest things. A screwed up sweet wrapper or foil ball seems to really get some of them going. They like to play with you, so you must find time, especially for the young cat.
Use your imagination and understand that your cat will eventually grow up and calm down although that may be several years away……

If you dream of relaxing on a beach, swaying gently swaying on a rope hammock, you are not alone. This is an image well all dream of, especially after a hard days work. There are a couple of styles of hammock to choose from - rope and fabric. People will tell you what they think is the best but it is up to you to decide for yourself.
Rope Hammocks
Rope hammocks are the traditional “desert island” hammock we generally think of. These hammocks can be made from either natural materials (which might be hemp or cotton) or synthetic materials such as nylon or polyester. Whatever you choose both natural and synthetic ropes are designed to withstand the weight of a fully grown person. So there shouldn’t be any risk of your hammock snapping.
Synthetic Rope Hammocks
The main reason you would want to buy a synthetic rope hammock is because they are more durable if left outside to the elements. If you plan on keeping your hammock outside then it is definitely a good idea to buy synthetic, otherwise you should store it away in a garage or shed.
Unless you have two poles or trees in your garden positioned hammock-length apart from each other, you will need to buy a hammock stand. Quite often hammocks come already packaged with a stand but you should make sure before buying. If you buy a stand it means that you are not just limited to using your hammock in your own garden - you can take it with you to the beach or to a friend’s house for example.

to have me wash your car in nothing but a banana hammock…
I need to swing my next house payment and I need some quick-big money

Hammocks are a source of great relaxation, as you float and swing from side to side either reading a book or enjoying some time alone. Hammocks can be placed anywhere you choose, from the porch to the garden and balcony in order to have a relaxing view, fresh breeze and quiet.
The Art Of Crochet
Crocheting is known as the practice of creating different types of fabrics from thread with the help of a special crochet hook. The thread is traditionally made of cotton but can be of any other material such as, wire, yarn, silk and nylon depending on what you are trying to achieve. Crocheting was usually used to produce different types of lacey accessories for the house of wardrobe such as, enhancing a dress, curtains, bed shams and hammocks to name a few.
Even though every design and pattern in crocheting is done with one crochet hook, there are several patterns to choose from; depending on the purpose of the item you are about to produce.
Choosing A Crochet Hammock Pattern
When you are looking for a crochet hammock pattern, you must keep in mind the weight that will be placed in the hammock and the amount of weight the pattern is going to allow. The crochet hammock pattern you choose must be enforced and done with a strong thread, such as nylon, which has elasticity with a mixture of cotton for comfort.
There are many crochet hammock patterns to choose from and if you are looking to make one yourself you should consult a crochet book or online sites where they will walk you step by step through the procedure keeping in mind all your needs.
You can also find a ready made crochet hammock both online and in local physical stores where you can actually try the hammock to see how it fits and test the comfort levels. Crocket hammock patterns are usually chosen by the weather in the location you live, the place where you will hang it, who will be using the hammock and how often.
Usually, most hammocks are made for rough use because you will not be able to help yourself from using it once you have it in the house; however, some hammocks are made with material for indoor use and other for both indoors and outdoors.
Make Your Little Place Of Relaxation
Swinging, sleeping or just spending time in your hammock will bring you great pleasure and relaxation whether you do it in the evening over a cup of coffee or in the afternoon with a book and your pet curled next to you; you will find that your hammock will not only be a place of maximum comfort but also your little refuge to absolute bliss.

when I got the hammock I sprayed it with rustoleum - but it rusted.
It has the stand that is in pieces - so I took it apart sanded the edges and the rusty spots (the edges/joints and the spots where it touches the grass) and again sprayed it with rustoleum and again it rusted!!
Is there something else I can do? It is a rather heavy stand and it takes a lot to sand and respray this and I would rather not have to do it each year!! Please help!!
