English Electric Company
Production was concentrated at Strand Road, Preston with a hangar and slipway at Lytham St Annes, near Blackpool where the flying boats were tested.
In 1921, English Electric attempted manufacturing their own aircraft, albeit on a minor scale with the EE Wren at Strand Road. The Wren was designed by William Manning as an ultra-light monoplane for the Air Ministry, who were exploring applications for extremely light aircraft (gliders) for short distance reconnaissance roles. The 3rd aircraft went on to be the joint winner at the Daily Mail Light Aircraft Competition later that year.
Their 2nd aircraft was on a much grander scale with the English Electric Ayr flying boat (also designed by William Manning) although the project had to be abandoned in 1924. The design called for the bomb load to be beneath the waterline and it was found to roll to the right during take-off trials and more importantly it refused to leave the water.
The English Electric Kingston Flying boat proved equally problematic in 1926 as despite meeting the airworthiness requirements of the Air Ministry, it could not meet the requirements for seaworthiness and was not persued passed the prototype stage.
Aircraft manufacturing lasted at the Preston Factory until 1926 when all production activities ceased (although they restarted aviation activities in 1938). However, with war in Europe looming once more, the outdated buildings were demolished and then rebuilt in order to construct Handley Page bombers for the RAF.
During 1939 English Electric also constructed a 'shadow factory' and a new airfield at Samlesbury near Blackburn, Lancashire to assemble Handley Page Hampden Bombers from the components that were made in Preston – in total some 770 aircraft were built, which equated to more than half of the number of Hampdens ever produced.
During 1940 the runways at Samlesbury were extended and the factory expanded to produce the 4-engine Handley Page Halifax heavy bomber. A total of 2,145 Halifax's were built by English Electric with a peak delivery rate of 81 aircraft a month (achieved in February 1944).
In 1942, English Electric acquired the aero-engine manufacturer Napier & Son and extended the Design Department (which previously only existed to support the production facilities) to prepare for the development and production of a new Folland aircraft.
As it turned out the Folland project was cancelled although the Board of Directors had already decided that English Electric should remain as an aircraft manufacturer after the war - it also recognised that they would need to develop a new aircraft design of their own.
New runways had originally been constructed at Warton Aerodrome during 1940 and it had been intended that it would become a satellite airfield for RAF Costal Command, based jus a few miles along the coast at Squires Gate, Blackpool. Before completion however, it was allocated to the US Army Air Force and used as a Base Air Depot (BAD 2) processing thousands of aircraft on their way into active service over mainland Europe and North Africa during World War II.
When the USAAF left Warton in 1945, the site reverted to RAF ownership and became a non-flying storage depot until May 1947 when English Electric moved its Design and Experimental activities to the site alongside the River Ribble.
W.E.W. 'Teddy' Petter had been recruited in 1944 to lead the Design Team and all efforts were concentrated on that single design. After an extremely frustrating period of post-war austerity the English Electric Canberra was finally completed, making its first flight in 1949. It was an immediate success with the RAF who had already ordered 132 aircraft without even seeing it fly.
Meanwhile, Samlesbury concentrated on the assembly and flight testing of the De Havilland Vampire, constructing 1,300 aircraft under licence. Additionally, over 200 Avro Lincolns received major updates to their electrical systems and radars at Samlesbury.
In the meantime, Warton development of military aircraft moved on at a rapid pace with the design and first English Electric Lightning P.1A making its maiden flight on 4th August 1954.
The aircraft division of English Electric changed its name to English Electric Aviation Ltd in 1959 before it became an integral part of the merger which became British Aircraft Corporation in 1960.
The Preston factory remained within aviation until its closure in 1992.
Since the beginning of the BAC era both Warton and Samlesbury have played significant roles in the military aircraft industry through the EE Lightning and Canberra, BAC TSR-2 and BAC Strikemaster, SEPECAT Jaguar, Panavia Tornado, BAE Harrier and Hawk, and of course Eurofighter Typhoon.
Today they are heavily engaged in the ongoing development of Eurofighter Typhoon and are playing an integral part in the new F-35 Lightning II whilst work on the next combat aircraft, Team Tempest, is continuing to grow.

Argument recap: Justices grapple with the distinction between primary and secondary liability and what it means to "make†a statement under the federal securities laws
At oral argument on Tuesday in Janus Capital v. First Derivative Traders (No. 09-525), the Court addressed in the context of mutual funds and mutual fund advisors (1) whether a service provider can be held primarily liable in a private securities-fraud action for "help[ing]" or "participating in" another company's misstatements; and (2) whether a service provider can be held primarily liable in a private securities-fraud action for statements that were not directly and contemporaneously attributed to the service provider?
Arguing for Janus, Mark Perry portrayed mutual fund advisors as mere "service providers" with respect to drafting and issuance of mutual fund prospectuses issued by mutual funds, and he labeled the decision of the Fourth Circuit below as "nothing less than a frontal assault on this Court decisions in Central Bank and Stoneridge." Perry argued that these prior decisions foreclosed any possibility for service providers to have primary liability under the federal securities laws even if they are alleged to have been "help[ing" or "participating in" another company's misstatements. Justice Sotomayor challenged the proposition that Janus could avoid primary liability based solely on the fact that the statements at issue were attributed to the mutual funds instead of the advisors that drafted the statements asking, "Do you mean to tell me that puppets become a legal defense for someone who intentionally manipulates the market information?" Perry responded that Congress addressed such a situation in Section 20, which First Derivative was not invoking. When Justice Sotomayor noted that the misstatements alleged below had been made without the knowledge of the mutual fund's board of directors, Perry affirmed, "our position is nobody had scienter, and every adjudicator to look at these facts "" Judge Motz in the district court, the ALJ of the SEC, has found there was no scienter anywhere up and down the line."
Justice Kagan focused on the actual drafting of the challenged prospectus language, which was done by attorneys whose fees were paid by in-house counsel for the investment advisor. Perry responded that it did not matter which attorneys drafted the challenged language or who employed them because, "[i]n house counsel, outside counsel, once they draft materials and present them to their client, it becomes the client's statement when adopted by the client." He emphasized that the mutual fund's board of trustees had reviewed and adopted the challenged language. In response to a question from Justice Kennedy, Perry asserted that it would not have mattered if the challenged language had been drafted by the advisor's principal officers and managers "" rather than in-house counsel "" because "when the statement is adopted by the issuer, it becomes the issuer's statement. Only an issuer can make the statement."
Under questioning from Justices Kennedy and Sotomayor, Perry asserted that First Derivative Traders' allegations that the investment advisor controlled the day-to-day operations of the mutual fund did not change the result because, with respect to potential primary liability, "the mutual funds, are separately owned, separately governed"; with respect to potential secondary liability, First Derivative had not pursued a claim based on control person liability under Section 20. In response to a hypothetical question from Justice Breyer regarding whether the president of a company could have primary liability making a misstatement that was then issued in the company's name, Perry agreed liability could be possible but distinguished the hypothetical company executive from Janus because the mutual fund and fund advisors are separate legal entities. Perry's argument concluded with Justice Scalia redirecting the argument from whether the advisor had "control" over the mutual fund to the issue of whether "help[ing]" or "participating" in the misstatement of another company could ever be sufficient to support primary liability.
Arguing for First Derivative Traders, David Frederick responded immediately to questioning from Justice Scalia by narrowing the focus of the argument from broad potential liability for "help[ing]" or "participating" in a misstatement generally to the specific facts of the case before the Court. "We would submit this case is not about service providers, but it is about Janus Capital Management being the primary violator." In a further exchange with Justice Scalia, Frederick asserted that it was possible for a party to "make" a statement that is attributed to that party. He continued, "we address the definition of "make' under the SEC's interpretation, which is entitled to deference, as being to create or to compose or to accept as one's own." In response, Justice Scalia emphasized that "[t]he representation was made in the prospectus issued by the Fund, not by [the advisor]," and he described the fund advisor's role as "just like writing a speech for somebody."
Responding to further questions from Justice Scalia and Chief Justice Roberts, Frederick returned to the mutual fund industry and the specific allegations of the complaint, "They [Janus] created the fund, Justice Scalia. That's how mutual funds work. Managers create them, they lure investors to them, they get money by having a percentage of assets under management." The argument then turned from the mutual fund industry to situations of broader application. Justice Alito asked Frederick to distinguish between the case at issue and one with misstatements in a prospectus issued by "a corporation with thousands of employees and the prospectus is drafted by outside counsel." Frederick responded that outside lawyers "are distinguishable in a number of different ways." While outside lawyers might face, at most, an aiding and abetting action from the SEC, Frederick argued that the fund advisor remained analogous to the hypothetical oil executive described previously by Justice Breyer based on its ongoing control over the day-to-day operations of the mutual fund. Frederick concluded by emphasizing that under the interpretation of the federal securities laws advanced by Janus no primary violator would exist under the facts alleged notwithstanding the presence of material misstatements. He labeled that potential outcome a "road map to commit fraud."
Assistant to the Solicitor General Curtis Gannon argued on behalf of the United States as an amicus supporting First Derivative. He repeated the U.S.'s view that a party "makes" a statement "if they create the statement." Under questioning from the Chief Justice, Gannon confirmed that if the Court were to adopt Janus's interpretation of the law, under the facts as pled there would be no primary violator and neither the SEC, nor any other party, would have a claim against Janus for secondary liability. In response to questions regarding whether outside counsel could potentially face primary liability for drafting misstatements in clients' prospectuses, Gannon indicated that potential primary liability would be limited by whether such counsel or service provider were "sufficiently involved" as to justify primary liability. Gannon also confirmed that "attribution to the actor is not necessary for the actor's liability for his statement." Finally, in response to a question from Justice Kagan regarding the possibility of limiting any ruling by the Court to the mutual fund context, Gannon suggested that this case could be analogized to those in which a corporate employee drafts a misstatement issued by an employer because, " [i]n this instance the investment advisor is management for the company, and the fact that they happen to be management by virtue of contract rather than just the internal arrangements of the corporation shouldn't change that arrangement."
In his rebuttal, Perry argued for a "bright line" test for primary liability and asserted that neither First Derivative nor the United States had set forth an appropriate rule: "[t]hey can't articulate the difference between primary and secondary, between principal and agent, between aiders and abettors and anything else. This is an area that needs bright lines, it needs to be resolved on motions to dismiss."

All-new season premiering February 4 sees Homeland star Damian Lewis on the Top Gear test track plus US and Africa road trips
For the first time ever, BBC AMERICA will premiere Top Gear, the world's biggest car show, in the US only days after the UK. The all-new season sees hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May taking an incredible American road trip through Las Vegas and Los Angeles including a race against fighter planes before ending with a hair-raising run to the Mexican border. From Jeremy Clarkson's new hybrid Microcar creation to an off-road Bentley Continental GT, the hosts engage in a new collection of incredible adventures, absurd stunts and dream drives. Even Homeland's Damian Lewis joins in on the fun in the season premiere as the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car. Top Gear premieres Monday, February 4, 9:00pm ET/PT on BBC AMERICA.
Starting in the Ugandan capital Kampala, Top Gear heads out on a new legendary epic journey in which the hosts attempt to find the source of the River Nile using three rather tired station wagons and sometimes sketchy knowledge of African geography. Along the way they encounter crocodile infested rivers, suspension snapping terrain and the world's worst traffic jam.
This season, Jeremy invents the world's smallest car, hybrid Microcar, and tests it out on the streets of London, James finds out what the Bentley Continental GT Speed is like on a rally stage, and Richard reaches eye popping speeds on the test track in the amazing, 720 horsepower Pagani Huayra. Plus the trio carry out one of Top Gear's famously thorough road tests on the new Kia Cee'd and race a Shelby Mustang GT500 against a train in order to find the fastest way to get from Britain to Italy in time for a soccer match.
Top Gear is directed by Brian Klein and executive produced by Andy Wilman. The new season will premiere on BBC Two in the UK on January 27.
In anticipation of the new season, BBC Worldwide Digital Entertainment & Games has launched Top Gear: Stunt School Revolution 2.0, which is available for free on iOS and Android. The mobile game lets players customize cars to the extreme with jet engines, bulldozer shovels, snow plows and more, delivering over-the-top tracks, stunts and cars to race in true Top Gear fashion.
BBC Home Entertainment is driving Top Gear: 50 Years of Bond Cars onto shelves February 12, 2013 ($9.95 USD).
In this first episode, The Stig puts Golden Globe(R) winner and Homeland star Damian Lewis through the paces in the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car. The new season kicks off with Jeremy attempting to build a car that's even smaller than the famous Peel P50 and then tests it out on the streets of London before putting his concept to the ultimate test of credibility in the fearsome UK investor television show Dragons' Den. Meanwhile, James is testing the latest Bentley Continental GT Speed by taking it on a rally stage and Richard is at the test track to unleash the sensational new Pagani Huayra hypercar before handing it over to The Stig for the lap of a lifetime. Episode 1 premieres Monday, February 4, 9:00pm ET/PT.
The hosts embark on an epic US road trip in three front-engined supercars - Jeremy Clarkson in a Lexus LFA, Richard Hammond driving the new Dodge Viper and James May choosing the latest Aston Martin Vanquish - a glorious soundtrack is guaranteed and so is a furious debate about which is best as the trio head from Las Vegas to Los Angeles and on to Palm Springs. Along the way, the three hosts take in racing circuits, airborne attacks and a race against the police before making a break for the Mexican border with a terrifying penalty for the last car to make it. Episode 2 premieres Monday, February 11, 9:00pm ET/PT.
Additional synopses will be released at a later date.

You know what's got to be pretty cool for a 5-year-old?
Building a model of the new Bay Bridge with Legos. And then getting the chance to go stand on the real one while it's under construction.
OK, fine. You got me. Do you know what's cool for a 35-year-old ….
So after this post on building Bay Area bridges with Legos to explain the dynamics of suspension spans to my inquisitive child, I get a call from the public information crew in charge of explaining bridge dynamics to all the children. They asked, Would you two like to come out and see the bridge and learn more about the new span?
Um … yes please!
I picked up my bridge-obsessed daughter and we headed out to bridge-building HQ — sort of near the toll plaza of the existing Bay Bridge — and we spent an hour or so checking out some scale models, the tools the bridge builders use and even a life-sized model of a tower piece. She loved this part. (More photos below …)
Apparently engineers had to build this wooden model before the bridge even began construction, just to give workers an idea of what to expect in the actual tower — sort of like giving them a practice run. But now that the tower is built, the model is no longer needed. So they spruced it up and now allow kids to climb inside. My daughter was stoked. She loved to climb through the honeycomb of portals, and I was surprised at how much actual room there was inside to move around. Steve Padilla, the public information guy who offered us this tour, said school groups can fit 20 or so kids inside. It got me thinking that if bridge workers ever gripe about stressful working conditions, they should consider the headache-inducing noise of 20 excited kids crammed into this thing.
The model of the tower was definitely the high point … until Steve let us drive our own car onto the new bridge.
We took a secret route under the current, working bridge and looped under the new one until we came to an access point and suddenly found ourselves on the skyway, the long portion of the new bridge leading away from Oakland toward the new suspension portion. I asked Steve if workers ever thought about flooring the pedal, given all that traffic-less open space calling ahead, and he just smiled. Apparently Volvo was allowed to film a commercial on the skyway, and he said cars were jamming — up to 120 mph on the empty road. I don't blame them. I was in a family car, with my daughter in the backseat, and I wanted to punch it.
It was surreal to be on the empty road. The skyway is split into two bridges, one going eastbound and one going westbound, and we drove on the westbound side toward the suspension span. The road felt incredibly wide with none of the lane markings of a usual freeway. It felt like we were almost hovering over the bay. When the bridge finally opens, people are going to go bonkers for the views.
When we got home, we spent a lot of time on the Bay Bridge web site, checking out information about how the crews are beginning to string the cables over the tower. Pretty cool stuff for anyone interested in bridges. But the really fun part should come this spring, when Padilla said there's going to be a big push to get more school field trips out to the site. I'll do an update when that happens, because getting up close and personal with the bridge is exciting beyond belief. For the children. Yeah. The children.
MIKE ADAMICK writes at Cry It Out! (www.mikeadamick.com). He wants to rock climb the tower.

Rustics Love It Box1
Rustics is a small subscription box company with a difference, as most of the items in the box are lovingly handcrafted using eco-friendly materials, by the very talented Nic. She also tries to source products locally where possible, and all boxes are packaged from her home studio.
Every box contains around seven to ten items, such as stationery, craft kits and gift items, with an approximate value of £30. The items inside the box are kept as a surprise, but Nic releases sneak peeks of the contents on her website and social media (you can find her on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram).
A limited number of boxes are launched at 8pm on the 1st of each month. The first box – a heart themed Love It Box – was launched in June, and I was lucky enough to receive one through my letter box (the boxes are the perfect size to fit through, so you don't have to worry about missing a delivery!)
The first thing that struck me when I opened the box was how nicely it was packaged. The box was sealed with monochrome heart washi tape, and the contents inside were carefully wrapped with tissue paper. The monochrome heart theme continued with the items inside, and there was far more crammed into that little box than I was expecting!
So what did I get? Well, inside was two handmade heart greetings cards, a hand printed cotton tote bag, a decopatch wooden heart craft kit, two mini wooden heart tags, a heart pencil, a handmade jasmine tea bag, a 'You Are Something Special' print, and some heart-shaped confetti.
Everything in the box is fantastic quality, and the theme is impressively consistent and carried off well. There's nothing in the box that I don't like, and it's hard to pick a favourite item, but I must say I'm really looking forward to having a go at the decopatch kit when I have a free weekend!
There are three payment options for the boxes – a buy now single payment is £17, a monthly subscription is £15 a month, or a three-month single payment is £40 – and all come with free delivery. But however you choose to pay for your subscription, Nic will donate £1 from each box to a different charity each month.
I'm so impressed with Nic's boxes as they're so different from any I've seen before, and it's obvious how much love and thought goes into every single item. If you want to bag one for yourself, check out the Rustics website.

HOUSTON – After just a few weeks Andrew Driver is proving to be a quick study – the former Hearts winger has adapted quickly since his move from Scotland to Houston and is adjusting to the Dynamo culture seamlessly.
Driver has made three substitute appearances, twice against Santos Laguna in CONCACAF Champions League play and in his MLS debut against FC Dallas last weekend. With a few run-outs under his belt, Driver has shown that his straight-line, no-nonsense approach can add an extra element to the Dynamo mix.
With Houston's starting wingers Brad Davis and Boniek García away on international duty, Driver could see the next stage in his quick progression in Houston as a likely candidate to take up the post on the left side of the Dynamo formation on Saturday against the Vancouver Whitecaps (8:30 pm ET, MLS Live).
READ: PRO issues statement on Kenny Cooper's goal against Houston
"Everyone can see he's a good player," said Giles Barnes. "He's an out-and-out winger. He's got great feet and good pace and, for me, he's a great deliverer of the ball as well."When you're missing Brad and Boniek he's a natural replacement. I think he's here to prove a point and he's started out pretty good."
The winger came to Houston fit and in shape, a hurdle that has delayed plenty of newcomers in the past. With no fitness work to be done, Driver was able to focus on picking up the system and showing his skill, similar to García's seamless arrival last season. His readiness led to a quick debut less than a week after joining the club against Santos.
"That's massive that the manager has a belief in me to do that," Driver said. "Football's all about confidence and if the people around you have confidence in you, you thrive off that."
That confidence showed Sunday when he made a big splash, notching an MLS Goal of the Week candidate to spark a would-be comeback in the Texas Derby.
"He's a little bit different than what we've had," said Scottish-born Adam Moffat, who made a journey similar to Driver's, coming to the US from the SPL's Ross County. "He's a little more direct like an old-fashioned winger. He gets the ball down and looks to run at guys and it's always good to have someone like that."
READ: Dynamo's Davis on USMNT selection: "It's been a whirlwind few days"
It is that straight-ahead soccer that has brought attention to Driver's play. "Coming from Scotland that's what the football's like, 100 miles per hour. I don't want to change anything about it," he said.
And Driver's approach has people excited about his ability to affect the game in a positive manner. With a spot open this weekend against Vancouver, Driver could be in line to show that he can make the same effect from the opening kick.
"He took a gamble and a risk in coming here," head coach Dominic Kinnear said. "Anytime he steps on the field he's shows something positive. I think his play does the talking. I don't think there's too much of a difference between MLS and the [Scottish Premier League] and he's fit in pretty nice."

In addition to natural lands preserved through the development process, several land acquisition programs have been sponsored by the county and various municipalities through bond referenda strongly supported by the registered voters.
In 1978 a $73 million bond referendum was approved and acquired many of the larger County parks including those with significant natural resources such as Fern Forest and West Lake Park/Anne Kolb Nature Center. In 1989, the Environmentally Sensitive Lands Bond was approved for $75 million which focused specifically on natural lands and included Miramar Pineland, Woodmont, and Hillsboro Pineland Natural Areas. In 2000, the Safe Parks and Land Preservation Bond Program was approved for $400 million to upgrade the County parks and acquire additional natural lands. The program successfully acquired by the end of 2010 more than 1,000 acres of conservation lands, green spaces and open spaces.
The Protected Natural Lands Inventory has recently been posted on the County website under the Land Stewardship Program. Preservation efforts within the County have resulted in a total of 322 sites, consisting of 16,420 acres (or 25.66 square miles) of natural areas available for wildlife habitat, aquifer recharge and public enjoyment. 6% of urban Broward County's 410 square miles now consists of protected natural lands.
A format has been chosen that will allow anyone on a computer with internet access to utilize this interactive tool see the site name, owner and management entity, which may be different, the municipality in which it is located, the number of acres of natural lands within the site, and the vegetative community that has been preserved. The County's natural land preservation efforts are a significant investment in improving the quality of life and enhancing the economic value of adjacent properties and communities.

JPMorgan Chase announced on Tuesday that it's investing $1 million in education grants for veterans. Funds have been awarded to Florida State College at Jacksonville, University of South Florida, The University of Texas at Arlington and San Diego State University, with an additional round of recipients to be announced later this year.
"Education is a path to sustainable employment as well as family and financial stability," Maureen Casey, director of military and veterans affairs for JPMorgan, said in a statement. "By supporting educational opportunities for veterans and their families, we will cultivate and empower the next greatest generation."
The funds are part of JPMorgan's larger initiative to provide education for veterans, which includes the Syracuse University's Institute for Veterans and Military Families, a national center co-founded by JPMorgan that focuses on social, economic, education and policy issues that affect veterans and their families post-service; the Veterans Career Transition program, a tuition-free program that helps post-9/11 veterans and spouses transition to civilian life; and the 100,000 Jobs Mission, a coalition of 10 companies that committed in 2011 to hiring 100,000 veterans by 2020. The coalition, now numbering 131 companies, has since met that goal and doubled it to pledge to hire 200,000 veterans by 2020.
Schools can use the funds for programs that "that impact and improve veteran performance, retention and graduation rates in higher education," Shannon O'Reilly, communications director for military and veterans affairs at JPMorgan Chase, told ThinkAdvisor in an email. Funds will be given to schools with programs to help student veterans in three areas: orientation and bridge programs, student services and classroom experience.
Casey testified before the House Committee on Veterans Affairs on Tuesday to share ways JPMorgan has helped veterans find employment after leaving the military.
"When JPMorgan Chase launched our program in 2011, the unemployment rate for post-9/11 veterans had been at least two percentage points higher than the national average for four consecutive years. While that number has improved, it is estimated that approximately 1 million servicemembers will transition out of the military in the next several years as our armed services face an imminent downsizing of the force," she said, according to testimony published by the committee.
Casey said that one of the biggest challenges to hiring veterans is the "knowledge gap" between military and civilian culture. "For example, most servicemembers who have spent their entire careers in the military have had their career path planned for them. Many haven't had to network with their peers or even write a resume for the purpose of finding a job. In fact, teamwork is so ingrained in the military ethos that servicemembers rarely have an opportunity to market themselves — always putting the team first. As a result, transitioning veterans often have a hard time in job interviews translating their military experience in ways that civilians can easily understand."
JPMorgan has a team of recruiters, many of whom are former servicemembers themselves, dedicated to hiring military veterans. These recruiters help translate job applicants' military experience into civilian jobs, and offer feedback on resumes and advice for interviews.

(Pocket-lint) - Onkyo, the audio expert, has showcased its latest products, including a 2.1 channel home speaker system and a six-channel Bluetooth and iOS docking system at this year's IFA event in Berlin.
The Onkyo LS3100 Living Speaker System is geared towards improving your television experience but is just as adept at streaming audio from your smartphone and tablet devices.
The 2.1 channel speakers are powered by a digital amplifier which, when coupled with the active wireless down-firing subwoofer, will improve your audio experience dramatically, especially if you use a flat panel TV that can lose some of its depth.
The system itself is compatible with most TV remotes and as such can be turned on, switched off or have the volume changed in the same way as you do your telly.
Our favourite feature is Onkyo's TruVolume tech that alters the volume automatically when it suddenly changes unexpectedly, say when an advert break commences. The Dialogue Mode is another highlight, detecting voices and making them crisper and sharper.
Compatible with other Bluetooth 2.1+ EDR devices, the Onkyo LS3100 Living Speaker System will be available from November for £300.
The Onkyo RBX-500 Six Channel Docking System aims to provide a 3D sound experience. Onkyo achieves this by putting in place a delaying mechanism on each of the six channels. This in turn means audio reaches the listener at very slightly different speeds immersing them in the sound.
The six channels are again positioned above a down-firing subwoofer, sending noise in all directions for a surround sound effect. Though the Onkyo RBX-500 Six Channel Docking System is compatible with Bluetooth devices, both the iPhone and iPod can be docked directly into the system, which in turn will top up their juice levels.
The Onkyo RBX-500 Six Channel Docking System will be available from October for £300.

Paula Deen coming back in a big way on the Web
Paula Deen's comeback continues.
She plans to launch "The Paula Deen Network," a subscription-based Internet network in September, she says on her website, pauladeen.com.
"I am working around the clock creating new healthy and quick recipes, shows and content," Deen told USA TODAY on Wednesday.
She had offers to launch a new show on TV but saw the Web as a way to reach her fans directly and to take ownership and control over her career and intellectual property, she told The Wall Street Journal. Pricing hasn't been set.
The warm, down-home cooking star known for her Southern recipes loaded with butter and sugar, saw her empire all but crumble last year after admitting she had used a racial epithet. She lost numerous product endorsements and her show on the Food Network.
At her lowest, Deen says, she took comfort in the kitchen. "I made eight cakes in six days," she told People magazine in February. The crazed baking prompted her husband of nearly 10 years, Michael Groover, to tell her, "Honey, I don't know if I'm going to survive this," she recalls.
"I used to have dreams that I lost everything," Deen said. "And when it finally happens, you think, 'I'm still alive.' " As for what she's learned, she says, "Michael told me, 'You've learned how badly words can hurt and how powerful they are.' I have been hurt by them, and I unintentionally hurt others. But I don't want that to define who I am."
Deen is one of a growing number of TV personalities, including Katie Couric and Jerry Seinfeld, who are finding new careers on the Web.

Dark horse: Non-politico eyes UVA election sweep
Published February 24, 2005, in issue 0408 of the Hook
"We think in America that it is necessary to introduce the people into every department of government as far as they are capable of exercising it, and that this is the only way to insure a long-continued and honest administration of its powers."–Thomas Jefferson to Abbe Arnoux, 1789
That's what Greg Scanlon wants to know, and last semester the fourth-year psychology and government major hatched a plan to do something about it.
"We were just thinking how great it would be to get someone who's not really interested in it to run," he says, "like a Wesley Clark sort of thing."
That someone turned out to be third-year Curran Jhanjee, who soon found himself the subject of first the "Run Curran Run" campaign– dedicated to convincing him to run for Student Council President– and then the "Win Curran Win" campaign, which kicked off after he accepted the nomination.
It now aims to help him sweep the elections that start on Friday the 25th, in part by peppering sympathetic Wahoos all over campus with campaign stickers saying, "Hi, my name is: Curran."
"The thing about Curran is he's ludicrously modest," says Scanlon. "He was never really into this."
That's the whole point, according to Chris Wilson, the campaign's chief of staff. "The only great president you could have is someone who isn't in it for themselves," he says.
Recent graduate Brian Cook, who found himself drawn back to UVA by the campaign, agrees. "When student politics is concerned, too often people are running for things for their own reasons," he says. "They crave the title, they want the office, they like feeling important."
It's these very same ambitious politicos, chronically angling for rooms on The Lawn and ever eager to spout off Jefferson quotes, that inspire Win Curran Win's campaign slogan: "A tool of the people."
In short, they're everything Jhanjee isn't. "I'd love to win," the reluctant candidate says. "It would be fun." It doesn't sound like any law school applications are riding on this one.
"No one will really get excited if things are too serious," says Wilson. "If Curran doesn't pull this out, no one's going to go home crying."
The catch is that Curran might just take home the trophy. A smart move early in the campaign was creation of a Jhanjee group in UVA's corner of Thefacebook.com, a popular website that illustrates social networks on college campuses. Even though it's not a scientific measure, the "Win Curran Win" camp is cheered that Jhanjee's group has more registered supporters than the other candidates.
"We're doing oddly well right now," says mastermind Scanlon. "It's taken on a life of its own."
Jhanjee is similarly amazed by the swell of support. "We've had a couple of campaign meetings, which mostly consist of us sitting around and playing cards," he says. "I never figured it would get this far."
The only person who doesn't seem to be surprised is Wilson. "I was looking through the 1974 archives of the Cav Daily, and that's when Larry Sabato was president of Student Council. It's absolutely staggering what he was able to accomplish," he says. "We need to restore grassroots student activism, and what I love about Curran is that the people have really come together behind him.
"He works at Newcomb Hall at the desk on the third floor," Wilson adds, "which is right across from the student council office, so when he wins this election, it's just going to be a move of about 25 feet."
Wilson clearly seems confident, but does the pointedly nonchalant Jhanjee share the euphoria? Does he think he can win?
"I think so," he laughs, "I've been working out."
