Last Wednesday night, the University of Nottingham's elite badminton team emerged triumphant victors over East Midlands rivals Team Derby in the AJ Bell National Badminton League Final in Milton Keynes with a 3-1 score.
The final marks a brilliant climax to an incredibly strong second half of the season for the UoN team who, after struggles in the league at the start of the campaign with narrow defeats to Suffolk Saxons and Birmingham Lions, were able to turn their form around in spectacular fashion.
This too was only the third year of the tournament and the University of Nottingham's success has set a new benchmark for future badminton players at UoN to strive for. They have demonstrated that the Green and Gold are more than capable of competing with other leading sports universities for national trophies.
It was a final defined by comebacks though, both in the overall scoreline for the finals and within each match. UoN endured a nervous start as Team Derby's Kate Robertson and Lauren Smith were able to win the women's doubles in straight sets against Nottingham's Jess Pugh and Li Lang Yang.
Team Derby however failed to capitalise on their lead as Nottingham's Keiran Merrilees was able to see out a victory against Scott Evans, despite a late charge from the three-time Olympian.
"Victory for the Green and Gold in the end came in the women's singles final, as Li Lian Yang won in straight sets against Team Derby's Lyddia Cheah Yi Yu"
With the scores finely balanced, it was the turn of Nottingham-born GB Mixed doubles number one Chris Adcock and his teammate, Olympic silver-medallist Nina Vislova, to face Lauren Smith and Marcus Ellis in the mixed doubles final.
Despite going a game down at the start, Adcock and Vislova fought back to win 3-1 and set the University of Nottingham up for a great comeback victory in the finals overall.

Victory for the Green and Gold in the end came in the women's singles final, as Li Lian Yang won in straight sets against Team Derby's Lyddia Cheah Yi Yu, triggering scenes of jubilation for the Nottingham squad whilst invoking despair for the team from Derby, having appeared in all three of the tournaments' finals, only to go home in second place now for three years in a row.
Derby's Lauren Smith, who has appeared in all three of those finals, was quick to praise the freshly crowned champions though, commenting, "Nottingham are such a strong team, they've got real depth, so we were up against it, we did all we could, but unfortunately it wasn't enough."
"For badminton at the University of Nottingham, this is a huge win and a real statement of intent"
When reflecting on the season as a whole after the match, Chris Adcock remarked, "We didn't start the season that well, it took us a little while to get into it, but the momentum that we carried towards the end has been spectacular."

For badminton at the University of Nottingham, this is a huge win and a real statement of intent. The society is one of the largest at the university and boasts a tremendously impressive pool of talent for the university's elite team and BUCS sides to draw upon, enabling them to successfully compete on multiple fronts.
"For now though, Nottingham can look back with pride at this year's achievement and enjoy the celebrations as they prepare to defend the title next season"
Along with the tournament victory, the new facilities available for the society such as treatment rooms and the larger available court space that the David Ross Sports Village now provides has helped enhance the society's prestige nationally and will help the university to further attract top level badminton players.
This then will all help enable badminton at the University of Nottingham to develop further from this foundation of the success in this year's tournament. The new facilities will give future badminton teams from the university further likelihood to be competing at the very top of the National Badminton League on a consistent basis.
For now though, Nottingham can look back with pride at this year's achievement and enjoy the celebrations as they prepare to defend the title next season.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 2 (UPI) -- Antonio Reid, top industry producer and former president of Arista Records, may soon join Island Def Jam Music, the New York Times reported Monday.
Reid, who abruptly left his post at Arista two weeks ago in light of financial losses, is reportedly in negotiations with Island Def Jam.
If Reid, who at Arista was responsible for the careers of Outkast and Pink, takes the job at Island Def Jam, he will replace Lyor Cohen, who left his chief executive spot last week for Time Warner Music.
At Arista, Reid replaced the legendary Clive Davis in a controversial shake-up four years ago that resulted in BMG, Arista's parent company, offering Davis his own label as a peace offering.
During his stint at Arista, Reid was known as a savvy hitmaker, but also as a big spender, which reportedly contributed to his dismissal two weeks ago.
Island Def Jam is known for hip-hop performers like Jay-Z and Public Enemy, though the label has also expanded its roster to include artists like Mariah Carey and Bon Jovi.

German air traffic controllers on Monday voted for strike action in support of pay demands, but negotiations with employers were still underway, their trade union said.
Some 95.8 percent of the 5,000 air controllers belonging to the GdF union voted for all-out strike action, union president Michael Schaefer said.
But the union will not decide on a strike before Tuesday when it considers a last-minute offer by management made on the eve of the vote, Schaefer said.
The union is demanding a 6.5-percent pay increase for its members, along with better working conditions.
It has never engaged in an all-out strike.

The present invention relates to a virtual studio and in particular to a position, sensing system for such a studio.
In virtual studio systems a chroma-key background is provided in front of which an actor stands. In the TV picture seen by the viewer the chroma-key background is replaced by a virtual scene. Such a system is described in PCT patent application No. WO95/30312 to the present applicant.
In the above known system the position of the camera is calculable by using a coded pattern on the chroma-key background. This enables the position of the camera, as well as its orientation and the lens zoom, to be continuously calculated and thereby the perspective of the virtual 3D set can be adjusted correctly to suit the camera position.
This works perfectly for cameras which have a fixed focus and zoom or a fixed position but problems can be encountered in situations where the cameraman is free to simultaneously change the camera position and the lens zoom. For example, when the camera's optical axis is perpendicular (or almost perpendicular) to the patterned wall, the changes in the captured pattern due to zooming of the lens or to changing the distance of the camera from the wall are identical (or almost identical) and the system cannot extract the correct solution from the captured pattern.
In order to overcome this problem in the present invention, the camera is provided with an independent means for indicating the position of the camera which means are used either alone or in conjunction with the coded pattern and the pattern recognition apparatus to ensure correct interpretation of the position of the camera.
The present invention therefore provides a virtual studio positioning system comprising a chroma-key background panel, a television camera situated in a defined front studio area in front of the background panel for imaging a foreground object in front of the background panel, at least one fixed mounted detection unit said fixed detection unit having a field of view to cover the defined front studio area, an emitting device mounted in a fixed relationship with respect to the TV camera or foreground object said fixed detection unit receiving emissions from said emitting device, and producing a detection output signal, processing means for processing the detection output signal of the fixed detection unit to provide at least x and y co-ordinates for the TV camera or foreground object in relation to a given origin position in the studio area.
This assumes that the emitting device is in a fixed and known height defining its z value. Preferably the chroma-key background panel comprises a coded chroma-key panel and includes further processing means for processing data extracted from the coded chroma-key panel.
The position information derived from the invention is then used with the information derived from the pattern recognition system to calculate the accurate perspective information for the background.
Preferably the emitting device is an LED, preferably operating in the non visible part of the elctromagnetic spectrum. Preferably the fixed detection device is a static camera, also preferably sensitive to the non visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum region. Preferably both LED and camera operate in the near infra-red.
Preferably the LED is not on continuously but is switched on for a defined time period.
In a specific embodiment the LED emission is coded to provide better distrinction from background noise and emission of other LED's.
Preferably the detection device is also gated to receive emissions during a further defied period which is synchronous to the defined time period.
Preferably the defined time period is shorter than the further defined time period and both periods are synchronised to the frame synchronisation of the studio equipment.
Preferably in a specific embodiment the LED is active for a period of approximately 200 μsec and the detection device for a period of 100 μsec. Preferably the fixed mounted detection unit is mounted at a height above the background panel.
In a further embodiment for a case in which the height of the emitting device is not fixed, a second fixed mounted detection unit is provided.
The invention also then provides means for triangulating the positions given by the first and second detection units to determine the x,y and z positions of the studio camera or the foreground object.
The invention also provides a position sensing system for a TV studio, the system comprising an emission device mounted on an object in a defined area, detection means to detect the radiation emitted by said emission device and providing an output signal, processing means for processing the output signal of the detection means to provide an x,y positional map of the object within the defined area provided that the emission device is in a fixed and known height.
Preferably the emission device emits radiation within the near infra-red.
Preferably the emission device emits non-continuous radiation only in pulses of defined width.
Preferably the detection means is provided with spectral filter means to collect only radiation in the emission spectrum of the emission device and also with temporal filter means to collect radiation only within a defined time period, said time period being synchronised to the pulse output of the emission device.
In a preferred embodiment for a case in which the height of the emitting device is not fixed, a second detection means is provided having a second output signal, the first and second output signals being used to define the position of the object in the x,y and z directions.
In a further preferred embodiment the positioning system for the studio comprises a position sensing system for a TV studio further comprising a defined structure of at least three LED's positioned in a fixed relationship with respect to the camera to enable calculation of all camera parameters (x,y,z pan, tilt and roll) and further including a zoom-focus sensor attached to said camera, the system enabling the use of a uni-color background panel for displaying a virtual background.
In an alternative embodiment the zoom-focus can be provided from a coded chroma-key panel.
Embodiments of the present invention will now be described, by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 shows schematically a television studio incorporating a virtual studio positioning system according to the present invention;
FIG. 1A shows a pulse timing diagram for the system of FIG. 1;
FIG. 1B illustrates diagrammatically the arrangement of the LED of FIG. 1.
FIG. 1C shows diagrammatically the camera arrangement for the fixed camera of FIG. 1.
FIG. 2 shows in block diagrammatic form circuitry for the system of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 illustrates the 3D positioning system;
FIGS. 4A and 4B illustrate the output of the two cameras in FIG. 3 illustrating the 3D system of the present invention;
FIG. 5 shows a TV camera illustrating the calculation of panning movement;
FIG. 6 shows the camera illustrating the calculation of rolling movement; and
FIG. 7 shows the camera illustrating the calculation of tilting movement.
With reference now to FIG. 1, the system comprises a virtual studio system hereinafter referred to as a virtual set.
The virtual set 10 comprises a patterned chroma-key background panel 12 and a TV camera 14 situated in front of the panel 12 in a defined area generally designated at 16. Side chroma-key panels 18,20 are also present in a preferred embodiment.
An additional fixed mounted camera 22 is mounted preferably above side panel 18 on a mounting bar or rail 24 which rail may also be used to support panel 18 or the studio lighting. The field of view of camera 22 will comprise at least the designated floor area 16 and the vertical distance that camera 14 may rise above this area.
In a preferred embodiment the camera 22 is a black and white camera since a colour camera is not required for this system.
In a further embodiment a second camera 26, preferably of the same type as camera 22, is mounted on the opposite side area 16 also on a mounting rail 28 which can also be used to support panel 20 or the lighting. The camera arrangements are shown in greater detail in FIG. 1C.
Mounted in a fixed relationship to camera 14 is an LED device 30 which is shown in greater detail in FIG. 1B. LED 30 is driven by driving electronics 32. The driving electronics cause LED 30 to be switched on in a pulsed manner (see also FIG. 1A) in synchronism with the studio equipment. For this purpose the driving electronics is supplied with a sync pulse on input 322 and power on input 324. LED 30 must have a wide angle θ of radiation and preferably θ is equal to 180�. Preferably LED 30 radiates in the non visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum typically for example in the near infra-red and therefore does not provide any visible output.
The output emission of the LED 30 can be coded so that the system can locate and identify the (or each—see later description) emitting LED and also to provide more robustness to the detection system from background reflection.
With reference now to FIGS. 1A and 1C, camera 22 is provided with a wide field lens 220 and with a spectral filter 222 which filters out visible light but allows through the near infra-red radiation from LED 30. Camera 22 is further provided with a temporal filter by also operating in synchronism with the studio synchronisation using a sync input 224 and an internal electronic shutter. The output of camera 22 is fed to the video analysis unit of FIG. 2.
As shown in FIG. 1A, the camera 22 is effectively gated by pulse 226 which is positioned to ensure capture of the radiation pulse 228 received from LED 30. Thus camera 22 receives the LED pulse and does not collect most of the ambient illumination that is continuous. Thus although other objects within area 16 will emit or reflect infra-red radiation, the pulse of output infra-red radiation from LED 30 will be able to be detected since the camera 22 will not be saturated by the ambient infra-red radiation emitted or reflected from other objects.
In a particular embodiment gating pulse 226 is only 100 μsec long compared with a field time 227 of 20 msec and the LED pulse of 200 μsec or more preferably 140 μsec
The second camera 26 will operate in substantially the same manner as camera 22.
With reference to FIG. 2 the output of each camera 22,26 is fed to a video analysis unit 40 which may be a computer, for example, the Silicon Graphics 02.
Reference is hereby made to co-pending PCT application No. US95/05324 (Virtual Studio) in which the operation of the pattern recognition apparatus is described.
The output of camera 14 is fed via a video switcher 42 (which enables several cameras to be used) to a perspective transformation computation unit 44, the operation of which is described in the above co-pending U.S. PCT application. The output of this unit is fed to a graphics computer 46 where it is combined with the output of the position sensing analysis unit 40. By using the output of unit 40 to constrain the calculation done at unit 44 an accurate perspective transformation for the background is now extracted (see also FIG. 3).
The foreground video from camera 14 is also transmitted via a delay 48 to a chroma-keyer 50, the output 52 of which comprises the composed background and foreground TV picture.
To achieve this the foreground from delay 48 is combined with the background video 54 obtained by rendering the 3D virtual set from the calculated viewpoint at the graphical computer 46. The second video output from the graphics computer is a mask 56 telling the chroma-keyer where, in a "non-blue" pixel, it should "protect" the background.
With reference to FIG. 3, by using both cameras 22 and 26 the x and y position of camera 14 can be determined together with and the height z of the camera above the floor. This can be seen from FIGS. 4A,4B. In FIG. 4A only one camera 22 is used which provides a single spot of light giving the x,y position of camera 14 (in case z value is fixed and known). In FIG. 4B there are two spots 1 and 2. If camera 14 rises then the two spots, will be 1′ and 2′ as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4B. Thus by triangulation the x,y position and the height of the camera 14 can be obtained in position sensing analysis unit 40 and this information used to constrain the perspective transformation calculation in 44.
In case there is more than one LED, the separate spots in the camera output are identified using one of two methods (or both simultaneously):
1. Manual identification of each spot during system setup and then continuously video tracking each spot.
2. Assigning an on/off temporal code to each LED, for example, when there are two LEDs one code can be [1111], the second [1110].
In FIG. 2 two LED's 30′ and 30″ are shown. In a possible further embodiment each camera could be equipped with two or more LED's arranged in a known pattern. Providing these LED's are sufficiently far apart to enable separate detections by camera 22, further information about camera 14 can be obtained. For example, if a structure of 4 LED's is used, and each LED can be identified as described above, all studio camera position orientation and lens zoom parameters may be directly extracted knowing the LED's structure model.
Such an array of LED's may comprise several, e.g. 6 arranged in a circle each being sequentially activated.
The object 14 need not necessarily be a TV camera but could be an actor whose position may be required to be monitored as a depth key for a 3D virtual studio.
An example of use of multiple LED's is shown in FIGS. 5,6 and 7.
In this example 3 LED's 720, 740, 760 are shown attached to the camera 14. The LED's may be attached to a plate 780 which is rigidly attached to the camera 14 so that the LED's are always in a fixed relationship with respect to the camera. The LED's may be sequentially activated and the detection by cameras 22,26 synchronised or alternatively the LED's may provide a coded output signal.
The arrangement with LED's 720, 740 and 760 is used with the two detection cameras 22, 26 as depicted in FIG. 3.
FIG. 5 shows the camera in plan view and illustrates the effect of panning the camera in the direction of arrow 800, the panned position of the camera being shown dotted and referenced as 140.
The position of the LED's through static with respect to the camera 14, 140 will change relative to the detection cameras 22, 26 and will be in positions indicated at 722, 742 and 762 with the plate 780 now in position 782. Thus, the detector cameras 22, 26 and associated processing circuitry will be able to calculate any panning movement of the camera in addition to the cameras x,y and z position.
With reference to FIG. 6, the camera 14 is shown in two positions, the second position being as a result of the camera being rolled in the direction of arrow 802 on its longitudinal axis 142 (see FIG. 7). In this second position the plate 780 will be in position 784 (shown dotted). The LED's 720, 740 and 760 will be in positions 724, 744 and 764.
When viewed by detector cameras 22, 26 the position of LED's 720, 740 and 760 will vary when in positions 724, 744 and 764 relative to the cameras 22, 26 even though these LED's stay in a fixed position with respect to the camera 14. Thus, the roll of the camera can be measured by the use of the three LED's 720, 740, 760 and the two cameras 22, 26.
Similarly, with reference to FIG. 7, the camera 14 is shown in a first position and (dotted) in a tilted position 144.
It is noted that in the configuration shown in this view, LED 720 is not visible as it is behind LED 760.
When camera 14 is tilted to position 144 LED's 740, 760 (and 720 not shown) assume positions 746, 766 (and 726) and these new positions are detectable by cameras 22 and 26 and therefore the angle of tilt of camera 14 is also detectable.
The positions of LED's 720, 740 and 760 are not critical but they must be at positions which are visible to cameras 22, 26, preferably in all positions of camera 14. Also, they must be a reasonable distance apart so as to be distinguishable by the detector cameras 11, 26.
By monitoring the three (or more) LED's on the camera 14 the necessity for a patterned panel is removed because the pan, tilt and roll can be measured as well as the x, y and z positions of the camera.
All that is then required is for a measurement of the zoom-focus. This can be obtained by the use of zoom-focus sensors which read and transmit the information in synchronised mode to the TV vertical sync. This information is read into the control unit 46 and thus the system can be operated with a solid uni-color chroma-key panel and with a shoulder mounted camera.
In the case that a studio camera mounted on a rigid pan and tilt head, it is sufficient to have two LED's (e.g. 720 and 740) measuring pan and tilt position because the roll angle is fixed and can be measured at the beginning.

To date, patent owners have struggled to obtain substitute claims for patents reviewed by the Patent Trial and Appeal Board in IPR proceedings. Through May 1, 2015, only 22 (6.16%) of proposed substitute claims evaluated by the Board have been granted.
Click here to view the image.
The number of patent owners pursuing substitute claims appears to be decreasing over time. In the period from January 1, 2014, through December 31, 2014, the PTAB considered 299 proposed substitute claims, and granted 22 such claims across three IPR proceedings: Int'l Flavors & Fragrances, Inc. v. United States, IPR2013-00124, Paper 12 (P.T.A.B. May 20, 2014), Riverbed Tech., Inc. v. Silver Peak Sys., Inc., IPR2013-00402, Paper 35 (P.T.A.B. Dec. 30, 2014), andRiverbed Tech., Inc. v. Silver Peak Sys., Inc., IPR2013-00403, Paper 33 (P.T.A.B. Dec. 30, 2014).
No proposed substitute claims have been granted in final written decisions filed between January 1, 2015, and May 1, 2015, based on a review of filings in the USPTO's PRPS system. Moreover, patent owners have only proposed 55 total substitute claims in that same span, presenting a marked decrease in the rate at which patent owners have sought substitute claims in IPR proceedings compared to last year.
Patent owners may propose substitute claims in an IPR proceeding either by conceding the unpatentability of the corresponding instituted claims outright along with the proposed substitute claims, or by making the Board's consideration of the substitute claims contingent on the instituted claims first being held unpatentable.
As discussed previously here, patent owners have struggled to meet the requirements of the Board to have substitute claims granted. There are a number of potential explanations, including stringent page limits, procedural nuances, and the myriad legal requirements imposed by the Board. While amendment practice may be changing before the Board—with extra pages being asked for and granted in some cases pursuant to Director Michelle Lee's "Quick Fixes" blog—it seems that practitioners are increasingly choosing to forgo the substitute claim process altogether.

Pressure Builds to Resume Muni Service
Scott Lucas | Photo: Courtey MTA | June 4, 2014
City Attorney Herrera files action to return Muni workers to buses.
Just a day after the all-but-striking Muni workers were targeted by a non-binding Board of Supervisors resolution demanding they return to work, City Attorney Dennis Herrera has filed an action with California's Public Employees Relations Board against the workers' union, Local 250-A.
If upheld, the action would require the union to return its workers to duty and to go into neutral arbitration to resolve its ongoing contract dispute. "This is an unfortunate attempt by the union to get around a law and contract provisions that they don't like," said Herrera in a statement today, referring to city law and to contract provision that prevent Muni workers from going on strike. (That's unlike BART workers, which as happened last summer, are allowed legally to strike.)
The action, which could take months or a year for the board to hear, is unlikely to result in an immediate resumption. But it's yet another venue in which city elected officials are putting pressure onto the union to end the sick and to go into contract arbitration, which could begin as early as Saturday.
Although the number have improved since Monday and Tuesday, today almost one-third of Muni vehicles were out of service, as well as cable car operations canceled. Union leaders have denied organizing the sick out.

The company has been providing embroidered work wear and sportswear for many years, and has recently decided to offer its customers a new choice in the type of material they buy.

Hi, I am overdue in giving my feedback, since having the works done on a little over a month ago. I was a bit skeptical at first after seeing where this garage was! Shahid and his team did an excellent job on my car. Other garages were telling me that I needed a new front bumper and a new passenger door, which had I listened to them, I would have been charged around £1.5k plus. I don't know how Shahid and his team managed to repair the bumper and the door, but they did and they did a great job! Apologies to Shahid for calling nearly every minute to see how the car was doing, but after having "cowboys" rip me off in the past, I was genuinely worried! Thanks again to Shahid and his team for doing a fab job. I would highly recommend this garage.
Great job. I would definitely recommend this garage for body repair.
Great service,turnaround a list of jobs in a day, would recommend.
This garage was able to do the work straightaway, at a reasonable price, and to a high standard. Thank you.
Very good service! Robert replied to all messages within minutes, the repairs and MOT were done within 1 day for a very fair price. Would definately go to C and R again.
Great service and high quality work. Bob was very knowledgeable and helpful, and price was fair.
I went for a abs fault, they very professional and friendly fix it in no time, I sincerely recommend this garage, they deliver as promised. I am making this my repair garage for the future
Did the work the following afternoon. Great service, good price. Definitely recommend
Very good service with honest feedback in relation to what needs changing or seen to within a specific time period. I would definitely recommend this garage.
Probably the most efficient and professional service I have ever received. I needed my bumper, driver headlamp, and 2 side wings fixed after an accident on a 9 year old BMW 1 series in red. It took just 3 days for the complete works to be completed including almost perfect dare I say it blending in the paintwork so that you cannot even tell the difference with the adjacent bonnet and car doors. Rob, Lucas and the team are consummate professionals and clearly very knowledgeable and skilled. My dad was so impressed that now the whole family will be coming to fix and service their cars! Great job!!
Wonderful job. Thanks MayCar for helping me finding plenty garages to choose from. Five star service
first time here....i cannot fault this garage...excellent service all round..communication....price....and fantastic job....friendly staff... as a woman never felt intimidated as do with some places....if needed again ill go nowhere else......definately recommened...many thanks..
Toyota Aygo clutch replacement, competitive price, quick turnaround and a job well done. I will be returning to Auto Plaza Ltd. for M.O.T. ect. Thanks guys.
Fantastic service, great price. I'll be definitely coming back
Akash from Sky Motors was hired to replace a steering rack which was diagnosed by another mechanic. I had a noise from the steering and based on advise from other mechanics had already spent a lot to flush the steering system, change steering pump, tensioner pulley, another small pulley, water pump and thermostat. None of this helped with the steering noise and I was told only steering rack is left. However, over the phone, Akash said he suspected the issue was with the alternator pulley and not the steering rack. When he came, he confirmed 150% the steering noise would be cured by replacing the alternator pulley. The problem however was the the pulley was nor coming off the alternator. In fact Akash broke the bits for the alternator pulley removal kit. He went out to buy another kit which also broke. He then advised me that I would need to replace the alternator which comes with the pulley. I ordered this part and rearranged with him to replace it. It worked. The steering noise is gone. Akash is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, flexible and above all honest. I also am getting my glow plugs and glow plug relay changed on my other car (E60 530D). I recommend Akash to others and will be making use of him going forwards. He also helped me diagnose a separate transmission fault as well.
Akesh and his friend were really friendly and the job was well done. Thanks
Exceptional service baring in mind this was a very specific job (boost gauge installation) , work was undertaken by Akash who was both very friendly and professional and will definitely be using his services again soon, would highly recommend this business, honest and good value for money, excellent choice in my opinion
Akash mechanic and his coworker are brilliant professional guys ! Changing new LCD cluster speedo to my porsche Cayenne .Nice and polite people .highly recommend ! thank you !
I had a problem with the CTU auto transmission problem and had various quotes of around £2500. However Sky Motor quoted around £500 for a similar fix. They came to pick up the car and returned it 3 days after and so far it has been perfect. Very professional and friendly service with an honest price. I would definitely recommend Sky Motor. 10/10!
Helpful at providing advice!
Got car MOT'd and serviced by Sloane Services. It was more expensive than the online quote, but that was because it needed two new shocks and two tyres, and fitting the shocks was a lot more labour. So it was good value, and it was done to time and they were a pleasure to deal with.
Excellent and swift service. Thank you.
Really nice guys, completed the work on my car and explained all work done. Would recommend to all.
Bad service
Like most car owners, I have my preferred garage but tried Paul and his team when my usual place couldn't urgently schedule a repair to pass an MOT. Paul took the car in the next day, talked me through the whole process, gave me options and completed an excellent job exactly when he said he would. Would highly recommend.
Paul was really helpful and had the fan and re-wiring done within a couple of hours and I picked my car up the same day. They also cleaned it for me which was an added bonus and greatly appreciated! Im sticking with this garage from now on!
Friendly and efficient service, wouldn't hesitate to recommend!
Good value for money. Paul was very friendly and he fixed my car In no time. Very nice and satisfactory experiance. I Will recommend to everybody who want good service. Thanks Paul, just in time to organise my trip.
Professional and friendly approch. Work properly done in really a short time. Highly recommented.

Ew. It looks like the person doing makeup that day did not like her natural beauty and decided to ruin it.ReplyDelete
Her hair looks lovely though!!
Eww, she looks terrible. The first thing I thought when I saw that picture is that she looks like a vampire.ReplyDelete
that is horrible! What is worse someone obviously told her it looked good for her to show her face like that :(ReplyDelete
I am in agreement. I watched an interview with her during this event, and she was talking about how her recent music video allowed her to have an alter ego. Guess it explains that!ReplyDelete
I've just found your blog and am enjoying catching up on your posts. I would love if you could find the time and interest to do reviews on both the Chanel Matt/Lumiere foundations - maybe compare?
I LOVE her lipstick, but honestly she looks like she lacked sleep, or even worse, that she slept with her make up on...ReplyDelete
This goth look doesn't suit her. I think that her makeup artist has watched Twilight a little bit too much !ReplyDelete
Incredibly creepy!ReplyDelete
I am glad I'm not the only one thinking something's a bit off with her face. Too much hanging out with taylor Momsen, perhaps?ReplyDelete
and @moodeve, I will definitely try and do a comparison of Mat Lumiere/Pro Lumiere in the near future. I rarely used Pro Lumiere by itself because I lost my summer tan so I would mix it with a lighter foundation.
omg, her eyes look somewhat bruised even..ReplyDelete
this is terrible~
she looks like she slept at her boyfriend's, woke up with a hangover, and stayed in bed until the next party!ReplyDelete
goddd! i cant believe she would go out with her makeup like this, especially as in an interview with her i read in glamour she said she doesnt like wearing makeup and thinks she looks prettier with out..ReplyDelete
O man this pic made my day! haha. aww i wonder if she noticed how bad were makeup was. horrible combination. Shes still pretty though =]ReplyDelete
Have you also seen what she was wearing?ReplyDelete
It looked....trashy!
Not to mention that other outfit of hers lately, when she was singing or sth, that's very Gaga-esque(well failed attempt really)!
Hope that this doesn't last for too long...
her lips look beautiful but her eyes are a NO NO! Idk the look doesn't come together.ReplyDelete
wow that's horribleReplyDelete
Eww she looks disgusting, WTF was a very suitable title!!!ReplyDelete
i thought that same thing when I saw this! Def not a fan of this look on her...although i think it was done intentionally? Love your blog! Please check out my fashion and lifestyle blog www.andeelayne.blogspot.com . Follow mine as I will yours! xoReplyDelete
Oh no. thats all i have to say :xReplyDelete
was she trying to look like a vampire?!ReplyDelete
Lovely blog!
oh my gosh. i apsouloutley adore the red lips but the eyes?!?!?ReplyDelete
for me honestly only a little bit of purple can work for pale girls.
This reminds me of the joker from batman. Not really a good look at all! xReplyDelete

The neighborhood where I live has a community garden and the super kind tenders of this also grow a pumpkin patch! Alas, since I am gardening challenged, I'm not a toiler in this soil but I do love the fruits of their labors!! Yesterday we had the neighborhood pumpkin picking so my little one and I toddled on over and got a delightful batch of little pumpkins. They had some huge ones (I couldn't help but think of Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin while we waded through the vines) but I was not about to try and lug a big pumpkin home while carrying a toddler! Instead, we settled quite happily on a couple of small pumpkins for our home.
I haven't decided if I'll use these to create a table centerpiece, dress up my mantel or the front porch…. decisions, decisions! Either way, you know I'll be sure to share the project with you!
In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this quote from Henry David Thoreau and please stop in tomorrow to read the Ruffled Burlap Tablecloth (as seen in the Ralph Lauren inspired dinner post) tutorial!
Happy Celebrating!

By today's standards, we have a big family.
We have 4 kids–not very many when you consider the broad scope of human history. But today, it's kind of a big deal.
When people find out I'm a mom of 4 (beauties), first they look at me like I have a horn protruding from my forehead, which is followed by a slightly muffled gasp, which I suppose means: You're crazy. (Well, we are a little.)
The most common response that people say out loud is: Gosh, I have 2 kids and I can barely handle them!
Yes, parenting is hard. Parenting 2 is hard. Parenting 4 is hard. And, I'm pretty sure parenting 1 is hard, since I was an only child–my mom is raising her arms right now and belting out an AMEN.
But there's just something different once you get beyond 3 kids. Things get a little tricky.
Here are the Top 10 things that change when you have 4 kids:
10. You cannot fit your whole family into any car that's remotely cool. It's minivans all the way–for years. The first time I was ever called Ma'am was in a drive-thru window at Starbucks, a few days after I started driving the MomMobile. Mind you, I was 28 at the time. Sheesh.
9. You can no longer fit your family into 1 hotel room. Two double beds and a sleeper sofa just aren't going to cut it. So go ahead and add that extra room to the budget when you're making your vacation plans–or not, because…
8. You can no longer fly on airplanes. Well, I guess some of you could, but for most, 6 plane tickets is equivalent to feeding your 13-year-old son for a month. Dinner wins.
7. Four bedrooms or bust. A 3-bedroom house just won't work anymore, unless your kids are the same gender and can share bedrooms.
6. You always double a recipe. Always.
5. If you remember to do something for some of your kids, you're inevitably forgetting to do something for your other kid(s).
4. Your kids will never have matching socks. Ever.
3. Your kids will never, ever agree on what movie to watch. Ok, this probably happens in every family, BUT the more people there are, the more opinionated the room becomes. Just saying.
2. You'll have a greater chance for heartbreak. The more kids you have, the greater the chance that someone (or two…or three) will break your heart along the way, but…
1. You'll have a greater chance for JOY.
A wise friend once told me #2 and #1. I didn't understand it at the time, because I was just starting to have kids, but now it resonates. There are things my kids do or say sometimes that make me feel like I've been punched in the stomach. There are things I say to them that I later regret. That's heartbreaking. And I'm sure there's only more of that to come as they get older.
BUT, the JOY multiples with each one. The way they look when they're sleeping, the times they cheer for one another, the times they win poetry contests and geography bees, the times they laugh, the inside jokes, the times they still say: I Love You.
I get those times x 4.

There must be a reference missing.
Open the VBA editor then in the Tools menu select References. There probably is one that's marked as "missing".
Have a nice day!

That is it. I deselected it and things seems to be ok. It was pointing to a totally unrelated dll for some reason.
Thank you I would never have found that.

All visitors to Rio de Janeiro, certainly including the 35,000 arrivals for the 2012 Rio+20 UN Conference on Sustainable Development, can't help but notice the imposing "Christ the Redeemer" statue overlooking the city. Brazil's most famous landmark, the structure sits atop the 2,300-foot mountain named Corcovado. Built over nine years, the completed monument was opened to the public in 1931. But it has a long history.
Alex Newman From Rio+20Written by New American Staff
The New American's Senior Editor Bill Jasper takes a live webcam report from Alex Newman, our on-site correspondent in Rio de Janeiro on June 18, two days before the official start of the United Nations' Rio+20 Earth Summit.
RIO DE JANEIRO — CNN founder and United Nations Foundation boss Ted Turner, speaking ahead of the UN Rio+20 Conference on Sustainable Development, called for a global ban on plastic and new UN contraception and education programs to reduce the human population. He also called himself the "king" of a lot of "things" and proposed – presumably joking – a ban on human breathing.
During a series of panel discussions and talks under the banner of "Women Leading the Way," Turner, a highly divisive billionaire, discussed the need to "save everything:" lizards, snakes, frogs, flowers, and more. And after telling the audience about his massive land buys to preserve wildlife, he offered a series of controversial suggestions that he claimed would help save the earth from the alleged ravages inflicted upon it by humanity.
"We could ban breathing," Turner proposed, smiling.
Governments and dictators assembling in Rio de Janeiro for the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development must adopt even more stringent policies to reduce the number of people in the world and make sure that those who remain stop consuming so much, a taxpayer-funded network of more than 100 science institutions demanded in a newly released statement.
Meanwhile, new economic models are also needed, claimed scientists associated with the IAP Global Network of Science Academies. Politics and ethics — in other words, the will and morality of the people — cannot be allowed to stand in the way of the UN "sustainability" regime any longer; at least not if the world is to be saved from its primary enemy: humanity.
As governments and dictators around the world prepare for the upcoming "Rio+20" United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, the establishment press is hyping — rather than questioning — a dubious new UN report claiming that humanity's failure to adopt so-called "sustainability" schemes threatens the Earth. Among the global entity's controversial recommendations: less people, less consumption, "lifestyle modifications," and a "shift" toward new "equity-based values."
According to the UN report, dubbed the fifth "Global Environmental Outlook" (GEO-5), the Earth is in danger — and as always, it's your fault. There are simply too many people consuming too many resources, and it will eventually bring about a cataclysm, the paper claims. However, if the global population promptly submits to the international body's myriad demands, the UN implausibly alleges, it might still be possible to save the world.
Alabama became the first state to adopt a tough law protecting private property and due process by prohibiting any government involvement with or participation in a controversial United Nations scheme known as Agenda 21. Activists from across the political spectrum celebrated the measure's approval as a significant victory against the UN "sustainability" plot, expressing hope that similar sovereignty-preserving measures would be adopted in other states as the nationwide battle heats up.
The Alabama Senate Bill (SB) 477 legislation, known unofficially among some supporters as the "Due Process for Property Rights" Act, was approved unanimously by both the state House and Senate. After hesitating for a few days, late last month Republican Gov. Robert Bentley finally signed into law the wildly popular measure — but only after heavy pressure from activists forced his hand.
A recently released United Nations report outlines the global body's plan to foist a centrally planned "green" world order on all of humanity, making every level of government subservient to its "sustainable development" agenda. The upcoming Rio+20 sustainability conference in Brazil — held two decades after the first "Earth Summit" adopted Agenda 21 — will be used to solidify the foundation of the emerging planetary control system.
At the U.S. Press Center in the luxurious Rio Sheraton, a young reporter slammed a telephone down with an expletive. "I can't believe this guy!" he said to nearby colleagues, referring to a religious radio-talk show host with whom he had just finished a live interview. "He wanted to know if there were a lot of socialists down here promoting socialism at the Earth Summit. Like there was some socialist conspiracy." A round of laughter ensued from journalists within earshot. "I haven't seen any socialists, have you?" chortled another reporter. "He's just another religious, right-wing idiot," chimed a third newsman.

How is 83-009 configured?
A quick learner says:
August 22, 2015
How is the metal latch attached to the plastic handle on the 83-009? Can't tell for sure from the picture but it looks like it is attached with a rivet too.
Paul from SWISCO responded:
August 24, 2015
Three screws are used on the outside handle to assemble. You will need to pop rivet the finger lever to the locking arm. All parts are included.

representation of the middle ages is that of philological reconstruction which can be
"…applied either to great historical events or to the imperceptibility of underlying social
and technological structures, and to the forms of everyday life"(71). By utilizing the
middle ages in this fashion, it is possible for authors to critique and comment upon the
prevalent ideological structures in their own time by using the middle ages as a
mythological foundation for further reconstruction, analysis, and even play. Stemming
from this is the popular trend in literary criticism to attribute an author's attitudes and
intentions within their works to the major cultural movements taking place during the
time of their writing. Through this framework it would seem that Marion Zimmer
Bradley's The Mists of Avalon and J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings trilogy are by-
products of the post-modernist and modernist movements respectively. However, an
overlooked perspective is that of the cultural movement influencing the reader of these
works. One area in which this view is particularly relevant is representations of gender
in both of these novels, and Peter Jackson's cinematic retelling of The Lord of the Rings.
By analysing both the author's portrayals of gender in these works and the perception of
their works by modern audiences, it is possible to better understand the ways in which
cultural movements influence not only the writing, but also the consumption of popular
medievalist fiction.
One of the most prevalent themes of post-modernism is deconstruction, in which
an author "…seek[s] to distance [the reader] from and make [them] sceptical about
beliefs concerning truth, knowledge, power, the self, and language that are often taken
for granted within and serve as legitimation for contemporary Western culture"(Flax,
41). In The Mists of Avalon, Marion Zimmer Bradley embraces this process through re-
positioning the traditional Arthurian legend through the eyes of the female characters
within it. By doing this she seeks to "… [decentre] such Arthurian commonplaces as
Christianity…" by setting up a dichotomy of a patriarchal, misogynistic, Saxon and
Christian interpretation of life, against a matriarchal, feminist, Celtic and Pagan view, and
further "…reinterpret[ing] her heroine Morgaine as a vision of female power rather than
an evil manipulator; and in the person of Gwenhyfar [showing] how women lost power in
Western culture" (Tobin, 147).
By building this dichotomy, Bradley criticizes institutionalised Christianity as a
sexist and unyielding religion which not only assigns little or no importance to women
as more than vehicles of childbirth and housekeeping, but actually demonizes them by
portraying them as innately evil. (Tobin, 148) This is reflected in the words of Gorlois,
whom Bradley paints as ignorant and unintelligent in order to criticize his view point. As
he tells his wife Igraine in relation to why their daughter should be sent to a convent to be
brought up properly:
"A holy man told me once that women bear the blood of their mothers, and so it has been since the days of Eve, that what is within women, who are filled with sin, cannot be overcome by a women-child; but that a son will bear his father's blood even as Christ was made in the image of God his father. So if we have a son Igraine, we need not fear that he will show the blood of the old evil folk of the hills" (Bradley, 86)
She further emphasizes this view later in the novel when Gwenhyfar compliments
Morgaine on her harp playing, with Morgaine providing the critique (Fry, 24)
"Why yes, madam, music is sacred – did you not learn the harp in your nunnery?"
Gwenhwyfar shrank. "No, it is unseemly for a women to raise her voice before the Lord…."
Morgaine chuckled. "You Christians...

MyEssayWriting.com - Essay Writing Services.
Developed by two Harvard brain experts, here is a scientific, accessible approach to achieving success by retraining your brain to win.
Ever wonder why some people seem blessed with success? In fact, everyone is capable of winning in life - you just need to develop the right brain for it. In The Winner's Brain, Drs. Jeff Brown and Mark Fenske use cutting-edge neuroscience to identify the secrets of those who succeed no matter what - and demonstrate how little it has to do with IQ or upbringing. Through simple everyday practices, Brown and Fenske explain how to unlock the brain's hidden potential by establishing: * Balance: Make emotions work in your favor * Bounce: Create a failure-resistant brain * Opportunity Radar: Spot hot prospects previously hidden by problems * Focus Laser: Lock into what's important * Effort Accelerator: Cultivate the drive to win Along the way, they introduce you to dozens of interesting people who possess "win factors" (like the inventor of Whac-A-Mole) and share surprising information (like why you should never take a test while wearing red). The Winner's Brain will not only give you an edge - it'll motivate you to pursue your personal and professional dreams. ForeWord This Week, 1/28/10 "An informative read for those who want to better understand their own gray matter." Harvard Mental Health Letter, May 2010 "[Drs. Brown and Fenske] have described a set of strategies for remaining mentally sharp even under trying circumstances. In their book, The Winner's Brain: Eight Strategies Great Minds Use to Achieve Success, Drs. Brown and Fenske outline an approach they derive from well-known psychotherapies and discoveries in neuroscience. The strategies they suggest can be applied in the clinic, the classroom, and the workplace." Bookviews, May 2010 "A combination science and business approach to enjoying achievement in your life…If you are looking to unlock your own potential, you might want to start by reading this interesting book." Tucson Citizen 5/13/10 "A book that is part popular-science treatise, and part self-help guide. It is crisply written and backed by meticulously researched facts." 800 CEO Read Blog, 5/4/10 "The book is filled with medical research, but also some great stories…Filled with examinations of decision making, emotions, focus, memory, and more, The Winner's Brain helps us think differently about our potential and shows us how to act upon it." BBC Focus, June 2010 "There are nuggets of interesting research findings in here." "The Bookworm Sez" syndicated column, 5/14/10 "[Brown and Fenske] give their readers an easy-to-grasp tour of the brain and its basic functions, as well as a wealth of exercises to help grow neurons and 're-route' them as needed…The hard-science approach that this book takes is useful to anyone who strives to overcome modern adversity in business." InfoDad.com, 5/20/10 "What gives Brown and Fenske's book its value is less the list of factors than their suggestions on how to improve each factor in everyday life…[It has] some good, specific suggestions for improving brain health mixed in with a fair number of anecdotes." Los Angeles Times "Booster Shots" health blog, 5/29/10 "The authors know their audience. They liberally cite scientific studies throughout the book, but they are writing for a popular audience, not an academic one. They've juiced up their thesis with stories of well-known achievers…As writers of any good self-help book must, the authors make a convincing case that change is within reach…They offer plenty of tools to help anyone develop habits to better achieve life goals." Sacramento Book Review, 5/27/10 "Do you enjoy reading about neuroscience and brain function? If so this book is for you!...The authors do a good job of breaking down each win factor and discussing how to apply it daily." Las Cruces Sun-News, 5/23/10 "Drs. Brown and Fenske share some amazing conclusions about the human brain's tremendous capacity." FavStocks.com, 6/15/10 "Through interviews with celebrities and everyday folks, Brown and Fenske lay out a framework for unlocking your brain's hidden potential…The Winner's Brain teaches you how to get more out of your most powerful muscle. With the tips, techniques, and ideas in this book, you can get more out of your career and your money." Energy Times, June 2010 "If success is your desired destination, The Winner's Brain provides a useful road map." Taste for Life, July 2010 "Translate[s] cutting-edge neuroscience into a roadmap for training your brain to perform at a higher level and increasing your potential for success—however you define it…[An] engaging book." Entrepreneur.com, 6/29/10 "Knowing there is some science behind the book makes it a bit more meaningful than the typical self-help book…An interesting mix of science and self-help, plus the authors sprinkle some great exercises throughout…If you are self-aware and emotionally balanced enough to know that you need a little motivation to focus on your resilience, memory and adaptability, then this might be the book you should pick up to help take care of your brain this summer."
