The Barn
The Woodward Copper Barn underwent a half-million renovation project which opened the door far beyond snowboards and skis to now include skateboards, BMX and slopestyle mountain bike . All synthetic snow surfaces were replaced with a surface designed for wheels. Families and amateurs alike are invited to experience the renovations expanded offerings for people with no experience. With additions including a new beginner foam pit with a 2-foot and 4-foot jumps, a pump track designed for the development of park skills, and new programming to bridge the gap and see results on snow.

Indoor Skate/Bike Park
Woodward's indoor Skate/Bike Park has improved tremendously since our renovation during May 2013! Skaters and bikers now have full access to all the features in the Barn including the Pump Track, Jumps, Foam Pits, Street Skate Areas, Mini ramps, Bowl and more! Stop by for a 2 hour session or stay all day.
Woodward's Barn houses 5 Olympic trampolines and 1 super tramp! Two trampolines are tramp to foam where athletes can practice planned tricks and maneuvers or just have a blast jumping into foam.
Woodward is one of the first locations in the world to offer the public a Supertramp. Previously, athletes only had access to this type of technology in private gyms. Supertramps allow you to jump much higher than ever before, which means you have extra air time to practice that new trick.
Jumps and Pump Track
Our jumps are specially designed for indoor progression! We recommend you begin on the pump track to gain confidence on our parks skis (TM) and/or park boards (TM) then at your own pace progress to our small jumps then onto the large jumps. We want you to progress at your own comfort level, so the choice is up to you when you make the leap to the next level!
Park Boards and Park Skis
Woodward's exclusive patented technology Parkskis™ and Parkboards™ (provided by Burton Snowboards) were specifically designed to ride on our new Skatelite surface. Both are equipped with wheels which grip the surface, making the overall experience feel more like riding on hardpacked snow.

Pico Travel Guide
Pico © AiresAlmeida
The resort island of Pico is dominated by its volcano of the same name, rising from the middle of the landscape and towering 7,720ft (2,351m) above sea level, making it the highest peak in Portugal and an interesting holiday destination. A single road, following the rugged coastline, encircles the island. It is possible to climb the volcano to the peak but the climb is arduous and should not be attempted by amateurs. Pico's other main claim to fame is as a jumping-off point for whale-watching expeditions, offered by local boatmen. In the island's vineyards the famous 'verdehlo' wine grapes are grown. In the town of Lajes there is a whale-hunting museum, and at Sao Roche is a museum depicting the operation of a whaling factory.

IT'S the worm that goes to the very top. US president Barack Obama personally backed the Stuxnet cyberattack that destroyed hundreds of uranium centrifuges in Iran in 2010. So claims The New York Times writer David Sanger in a book published on 5 June. As news of the latest computer virus, Flame, emerges (see "Why we may never know who created Flame virus") he claims that Stuxnet was a joint creation of US and Israeli intelligence agencies.
In Confront and Conceal: Obama's secret wars, Sanger claims Obama pledged in 2008 to maintain two of the Bush administration's security programmes: the drone war in Afghanistan and "Olympic Games" - codename for a project designed to undermine Iran's nuclear ambitions via computer malware. As a result, Sanger alleges, Stuxnet was created by engineers at the US National Security Agency in collaboration with Unit 8200, a specialist cyber operation of Israeli military intelligence.
Once delivered, it forced fast-spinning centrifuges in a plant in Natanz to stop suddenly, smashing them to pieces. It worked until a programming error allowed Stuxnet to copy itself outside the plant, alerting the world, and Iran, to its presence.
If true, it is the first time that the US has been known to have used cyberweapons against another country.

Innovations in networking, cloud services and mobility are helping to make cloud-based video conferencing technology more attractive to end users and organizations as a whole. Forces shaping multipoint conferencing today include:
Mobility. Mobile device use in the workplace offers benefits, but also presents challenges in terms of security, device management and support. But it's a trend that's not going away. And users depend on cloud services on these devices more than they realize. Communications platforms, productivity tools, social media and entertainment are generally cloud-enabled. Affordability, mobile innovations and improved wireless networks will help to drive the use of cloud-based video conferencing, both within organizations and outside.
WebRTC. This open standard enables any Web developer to add real-time audio/video communication features to applications. As the standard evolves, the possibility of true cross-browser capability extends the reach of browser-based video conferencing.
Virtualization. The use of virtualization in the data center has led to a money-saving increase in processing power by eliminating the need to purchase more expensive hardware. Virtualization also helps organizations meet the high-intensity processing requirements of video conferencing, especially as it pertains to high definition (HD) and multiple users. This access to on-demand processing power enabled by virtualized servers improves the scalability potential for hosted video conferencing. Increased capacity has also led to more software-only video conferencing options, both for traditional on-premise systems and cloud-based solutions.
Interoperability (multivendor/multiplatform). As interoperability issues continue to persist in a multivendor environment, companies will need to look for cost-effective solutions that can bring together their disparate systems. With interoperability solved, companies will be able to select low-cost video end points such as browsers and mobile devices that fit the needs of their organizations and employees. Alternative deployment models — cloud-managed services, software-based and non-MCU-based — will allow organizations to extend their current infrastructure without additional significant investment.
High definition. Delivering a high definition experience in video conferencing technology often comes at a price: rapid increases in network bandwidth demands owing to end point display size ( mobile, desktop, dedicated video room). High definition also need a network connection that is reliable and consistent. Blue Jeans' cloud-based computing architecture offers minimal latency and greatly enhances video streams (up to nearly 720p at 30 fps) for a good meeting experience. Blue Jeans video services integration along with cloud-based business applications like LinkedIn and Salesforce.com, as well as the introduction of mobile applications for Android and iOS are recent examples of the latest technology trends Blue Jeans Network offers to adress the varied needs of businesses.
Our platform extends high quality video collaboration beyond the boundaries of specialized conference rooms. Finally, you have access to everyone you want to meet. Blue Jeans can bridge together business and consumer video conferencing solutions, enabling you to collaborate more effectively with colleagues, customers, partners, suppliers and your social network.

Trying to give something back to the Community...
Well Events can sometimes be like London Buses, you don't get any along for a while then you get two. So looks like the first week of November is going to busy, busy, busy. First on Monday 1st November we're hosting our latest WMUG Event and then on the Friday (5th) Inframon are hosting their "War on Cost 2010" event which promises to be an awesome event and one you can find out more details on at:
Unfortunately I won't be able to make this one as our fist ante-natal class falls on that day (and if I miss it I may not be any father any more children). But I'm hoping that this event gets recorded and posted for others to see who are unable to attend.

As tens of thousands of Baltimore sports fans packed downtown to watch country music star Keith Urban kick off the NFL season and the Orioles' win at home, some of the lingering exasperation that the Ravens were playing out of town faded away.
"It was frustrating that the Orioles couldn't move their game," said Kevin Williams, who was celebrating his 53rd birthday at the harbor with friends. "But this is the next best thing. And it's free, you know."
Over at Camden Yards, some Orioles fans were ducking out early to catch the Ravens on TV. But manager Buck Showalter didn't seem to mind. "I'm not going to critique that," Showalter said of fans choosing the Ravens over the O's. "I'm just excited that anybody decides to come here."

Inner Harbor, Baltimore, MD, USA
With the date of the NFL kickoff falling on the same day as an Orioles home game, the Ravens played the first game of the season against the Denver Broncos at Mile High Stadium in Denver. As defending Super Bowl champions, the Ravens normally would have been granted a home opener.
While the rematch of last year's AFC divisional-round playoff game was delayed for more than a half-hour because of reports of lightning in Denver, events in Baltimore went smoothly.
The Ravens lost to the Broncos, 49-27.
For a Baltimore sports fan, there was a lot to choose from. Throngs took in the fanfare with the free Urban concert and NFL-themed events. About 17,000 watched the Orioles defeat the Chicago White Sox. And others flocked to bars to watch the Ravens game.
Police did not report any major incidents at the Inner Harbor event. Although state agencies warned drivers to expect delays during rush hour, few accidents were reported and traffic — while heavy at times — didn't cause any major backups on Baltimore's highways.
Dozens of fans crowded onto the floating stage as Urban kicked off his set about 7:15 p.m., beginning with the song "Long Hot Summer." The Australian country singer told the crowd he wanted to play all night but ended his set with fireworks and a laser show just before the Ravens-Broncos kickoff.
Michael and Becky Catron, a Perry Hall couple who caught a bus down to the Inner Harbor, said it was disappointing that the Ravens were in Denver but said many fans can't get the often sold-out tickets to see the Ravens play at M&T Bank Stadium.
"It's nice to have something for those who wouldn't have been able to come to the stadium," said Becky Catron, 43. "They could definitely have something like this once a month, another great way to bring money into Baltimore."
Organizers expected 20,000 attendees, and the main concert area was packed tight with bodies, and some concertgoers said the crowd appeared to exceed expectations.
"They just don't know how many fans they have," said Michael Catron, 53. He also recalled February's Super Bowl victory parade, in which an estimated 200,000 people packed into downtown, well over what was expected.
Urban sang from a floating stage next to the sea wall by the Maryland Science Center, and some people stationed themselves high on Federal Hill, or on a grassy area by the science center.
On a loudspeaker, organizers encouraged attendees to watch the game at a nearby bar once the concert ended.
Hooters restaurant at the Inner Harbor had a line out of the door from about 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., said manager Alyssa Manas.
"Since 4 o'clock we've been nonstop," she said. "It was awesome."
City officials and business leaders have been attempting in recent years to draw more large events to downtown and the Inner Harbor, in an effort to boost the city's national profile, tourism and economy.
"Special events like Sailabration and the Keith Urban concert are the type of one-off events that can continue to create a vibrancy in the Inner Harbor," Downtown Partnership President Kirby Fowler said. "It's hard to create new attractions over and over again, so these will have to do the trick."
Christine Bortner and Amberle Dunnigan, both 21 and of Baltimore, said they spotted former Ravens tight end Todd Heap, which they called "pretty exciting." They said they hoped the city would host more events near the harbor in the future.

They weren't against technology, they were simply taken in by a growing trend that popularizes midwifery as enlightened, almost luxurious.

As of today, Sunday, 7/21/13, the Mountain Fire is 49% contained. Yesterday's moisture and last nights' rain has helped dampen the fire. Later today the evacuation will be lifted for Idyllwild and Fern Valley residents. But only those with proof of residency or employment will be allowed in to Idyllwild. 100% containment is expected later in the week.
Idyllwild looks none the worse for wear. Other than the contingent of fire personnel and equipment, I'm told, Idyllwild doesn't look and different than prior to last week's evacuation.
If you are looking for lodging, please call. Our calendar is 100% accurate for dates beyond this Friday, 7/26. This week we are playing host to firefighters in most of our inn rooms and we still don't know when non-residents will be allowed up – within a few days I expect.
If you are already booked for 7/26 or after please plan on coming up. Idyllwild is as beautiful as ever and there will be a palpable of feeling of "shared experience" among the residents and businesses – who need your support right now.

My daughters and I went here a couple of months ago just because we were in the neighborhood. We really loved the food. the salads large and the French fries fantastic the only spoiler was the bill. 3 of us ate on the light side and we still came up with a bill over $60.00. The tip is included which I prefer it not be. The service though was fine maybe because it wasn't busy. Anyway, my daughters can't wait to go back: French fries for my 10 year old and creme brulee for my sophisticated 15 year old. Oh, and the place is cute. blue and white if I can remember it correctly.

My daughter and I ate at Cafe Bari. I thought it was overpriced for what we ordered but we were hungry so we stood to eat. I had a breakfast wrap, a cup of coffee and water. My daughter had a Belgiun waffle and a glass of orange juice and our bill till was all said and done was close to $40. The glass of orange juice was $5 alone I could have purchased a whole gallon at that price. Then when I used my visa is seen gratuity was tacked on but still a space to leave a tip-not sure what was up with that. The food was good but I am sure there is somewhere else just as good and cheaper. And never once did the servers come to ask us how everything was or if we needed anything. Not very good service.

My three girfriends and I stopped for a late lunch around 2, while shopping in SOHO. We were seated right away, and were literally sharing the space with the people seated next to us. It took 25 minutes to get our drinks, which came out one at a time. One of us didn't even get out drink- and the margarita was horrible, as well as one of the mixed drinks. The Pom martini was tasty. Waitress forgot about our appetizer, which we didn't get, and the bus boy actually delivered our entrees to us. Food was really really good. Margherita pizza, cheese ravioli, chicken wrap, and moz sandwich. We called the manager over, as the drink and appetizer that we never received were on the bill , as well as a 20% tip. He removed all discrepencies, and we only tipped 10%. The waitress was not good - and to use the excuse that they are busy- didn't work for us, it was 2pm on a Friday. Get better servers!

I visited Cafe Bari on a visit to NYC in January. After a long search for decent vegetarian options near my midtown hotel, and living off of Starbucks for the past two days, myself and a friend ended up here for dinner by chance on our way back from shopping. I was very impressed with the options available to me- the menu offers two add on options for many of the meals- one vegetarian, one not. I had a great salad with red wine marinated pears and avocado as the vegetarian add on. It was one of the best salads I have had at a restaurant and only $13. My friend had the Penne with a vodka sauce which was also very good. Serving sizes for both were well worth the price, though not too large. I was very filled by the salad. For dessert, we split a Creme Brulee which was exquisite, and nicely presented on a larger plate drizzled with chocolate. The atmosphere was very nice and trendy- only disrupted by a noisy family at the next table- this is NOT a kid friendly atmosphere. The crowd catered to is more of a small, trendy group, not a family dinner. Though the staff were accommodating to the loud children, I would have rathered that they had not set me so near them and I would have requested moving upstairs had I been aware of the seating there. I think I would enjoy it much more going back with no children in sight. In all, I really enjoyed my experience there and staff cannot control the obnoxious people who may choose to bring children that will not stay seated. I have marinated my own pears and I am attempting to re the salad tomorrow night.

This was very disappointing. I had a tuna and mozzeralla wrap which was utterly tasteless for $13.95. My friend had a dried out chicken wrap for $14.95. There's a convienience store a few doors down that makes a far better wrap. They make up for poor quality with large portions. This place is obviously not relying on repeat customers and is simply taking advantage of the tourists who don't know that you can get great food at reasonable prices in NY.

I went their once and I've been searching highs and lows to find the address,...good thing I did. The food may be a little bit pricey, but it's DEFINATELY worth it,...you can count on it...I'm going back.

Food was average. But from the time we ordered until when food reached the table was 50 minutes. This was for lunch. And an automatic tip is included in the bill, but of course the servers don't tell you that. If the service was quick, it might be worth your while. Otherwise, you have many other better options in the neighborhood.

How can these poor people be charged with being drunk and naked in public, when they were in the woods. Is that really in "public"? And, if so, why don't we arrest bears?
I'd love to be one of the taxpayers paying for fancy heat-seeking gear to find these two.

I was delighted to appear on "The Crisis Show" last night to discuss the latest meningitis scare, a New Jersey high school sex scandal, Kitchen Aid's tweeting disaster, and Toyota's massive recall.
The two hosts – LawFirmsPR president Rich Klein and crisis pro Melissa Agnes – are extremely knowledgeable. I learned a lot by listening to them, and you will too!
Due to a technical glitch, you'll only hear me (you'll see Rich and Melissa). If you like this episode of "The Crisis Show," you can catch Rich and Melissa live every Wednesday at 7 p.m. eastern.

Hi there everyone.
As you are no doubt aware, one of the true wrestling greats is facing a new battle. Watching RAW when it happened, I couldn't help but feel physically ill at what was unfolding. I was scared that, in some way, as a viewer, I'd be witnessing the possible demise of a charismatic superstar and a great colour commentator, Jerry Lawler. The news seems to be more positive
Updated 09-13-2012 at 08:49 AM by Frank
Hey guys and gals!
Cast your minds back to a few weeks ago, where I gave my opinion on the 'underated and underused' talents within WWE. I think it's only fair that I do a mirror to it, onlt this time, maybe distorting it slightly. Think of those freaky mirrors that make your head all big and your body the size of Hornswoggle.
From crap finishers to entrances
Hey there!
Apologies for the lack of blog or general activity, I was making my way back from Tulsa, Oklahoma on a long holiday back to sunny old England and then back off to Devon! Been busy but I'm here. And rather angry it might be said.
WWE released the kinda-anticipated 'WWE 50 Greatest Finishing Moves' DVD: a collection of the best finishers, as voted for

Swim practices will train technique and endurance.
Long rides (Sun) focus on group-riding skills and bike handling, as well as endurance
What should I bring to practice?
For a turbo workout, you will need to bring your bike, as well as, shoes to ride and run in. Most people wear bike shorts and t-shirts (or some sort of athletic top). Additionally, you will want to bring a water bottle and, if you sweat a lot, a small workout towel. The team will provide the stationary trainers.
For running workouts on the track, just come wearing clothes to run in and your running shoes. You may also want to bring a water bottle.
For what to bring on the Saturday ride, please see the Bike FAQ.
For the swim, you need goggles and a swimsuit, and (usually) hand paddles, size S or XS.

Swim practices last about an hour, but some people will stay in and swim longer.
Monday and Wednesady practices can last between an hour and an hour and a half, depending on the workout.
The Sunday bike rides typically go from 8am to 11am, which includes times to stop for breaks and to let everyone regroup. Occasionally, the group will split up and people will ride shorter or longer.
How do I find other people to workout with during the week?
To find people to train with, join the team email list and look for announcements. Also, if you want some company on a workout, send an email to the list and invite people to join you.

One of the questions I get asked most often is "What's the best position for me to eat my cum?". Of all the positions you can take the only one that is important is the one that works. How can you be sure that your your cum actually reaches your mouth? The question is…..how flexible are you and what are you willing to try? Most people start out eating cum from their fingers or belly. That's a great way to start but soon you'll want to enhance the experience and pleasure. I suggest you try different positions while stroking. It may take some time until you can get all the way into a position but half the fun is trying isn't it? I recommend the following yoga positions to help you get into optimum cum catching shape.
The cat-cow pose will develop abdominal strength as well as increase your flexibility. The Plow pose will stretch your hamstrings, spine and shoulders. See how you like these! I'll be recommending more poses in the future.
Cat – Cow Stretch
Start with a neutral (flat and relaxed) spine. Think of the spine as a straight line connecting the shoulders to the hips. On all fours, bring the wrists underneath the shoulders and the knees underneath the hips. Keep the neck a natural extension of the spine.
Cow Pose on the inhale
Curl the toes under and drop your belly. Gaze up toward the ceiling letting the movement in the spine start from the tailbone, so that that neck is the last part to move.
Cat Pose on the exhale
Release the tops of the feet to the floor and round the spine. Drop the head and bring your gaze to your navel.
Repeat the Cat – Cow Stretch on each inhale and exhale, matching the movement to your own breath. Continue for 5-10 breaths, moving the whole spine. After your final exhale, come back to a neutral spine.
Plow Pose
Position a folded blanket under the shoulders. The head and neck should be off the blanket. Lie on your back. Using your abdominal muscles, lift your legs over your head until the toes touch the floor behind your head. Interlace your fingers behind your back and straighten the arms. Roll the shoulders under one at a time. Your hips should be aligned over the shoulders. To come out of this pose, roll out of the pose slowly, one vertebra at a time, keeping the legs straight and feet together.
If you are a beginner or not that flexible you can practice the pose at the wall so that your feet will hit the wall when they come over head.
Practice Makes Perfect
Getting into the perfect position takes time and practice. Keeping an open and creative mind makes it easier and much more fun to accomplish your goal! Play with pictures in your head, practice to increase flexibility and body awareness and have fun! You will be able to find things that work and things that won't work rather easily.

23 Whites Path, South Yarmouth, MA 02664
Excellent! Amazing selection, great bread, meals and baked goods. So refreshing to find a completely gluten free restaurant. Can't wait to visit again!!!!!
Rte 6A & W Rd, Orleans, MA 02653
The food was gross. Didn't get sick but it was not good at all. The restaurant and bathrooms were also very unclean. Just skip this place.
278 Scott Swamp Rd, Farmington , CT 06032
The fries are to die for, especially the cajun ones. All are gf. They are also really good about not cross contaminating your burger with non-gf ones. No gluten free buns, sadly.
966 Farmington Avenue, West Hartford, CT 06107
There is a high probability of cross contamination with the flour tortillas due to spoons and gloves double dipping. I always ask the server to use new gloves and utensils and have not had an issue but my tolerance level may be different than others. Otherwise, one of my most favorite places around. The food is fantastic and fresh!!
398 Hebron Ave, Glastonbury, CT 06033
The Best!!!!! She made the top tier of our wedding cake and it was fabulous. Not only gf but dairy free too! Wish I could go there every day for goodies but thankfully I live across the state. Only downside is that her bread products tend to have a lot of bean flour in them and I'm not a bean flour fan. But the baked goods are out of this world!
110 Albany Turnpike, Canton, CT 06019
Amazing gluten free flatbread pizzas with lots of topping options. They also make a great gf whoopie pie.
827 Pine Street, Forestville Commons, Bristol, CT 06010
Went to this branch once and had a horrible meal. First my gluten free burger came out on a gluten-containing roll. Then my replacement burger was almost raw because they were rushing to get it to me when I ordered it well done. The other chains in CT are great, but I will never return to this one in Bristol/Forestville.
1462 Portland-Cobalt Rd, Portland, CT 06480
Really love this place. It makes a gf person feel like a normal person going out to breakfast. You can order muffins, pancakes, etc and not worry!!
124 Lasalle Rd, West Hartford, CT 06107
The gluten free bun was out of this world and the server was very knowledgeable about what on the menu was or was not gf. The burger itself was just OK, did not have much flavor or anything.

The Final Inspection
The warrior stood and faced God,
Which will always come to pass,
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, old warrior,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"
The warrior squared his shoulders and
Said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
'Cause those of us who carry guns
Can't always be saint.
"I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
'Cause the world is awfully rough.
"But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
"And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
"I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here,
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
"If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand. In life
I didn't expect nor need too much,
So if you don't, I'll understand."
There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod,
As the warrior stood quietly.
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, my warrior,
You've born your burdens well,
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."

175 years of Derby's railways: How Bombardier is keeping up tradition of rail innovation
Posted: May 28, 2014|
Not long after the first train rolled into Derby, the city started manufacturing them. Today, that proud tradition continues at Bombardier's Litchurch Lane factory. Robin Johnson profiles Derby's one and only train manufacturer.
SOME of the buildings at Bombardier's Litchurch Lane factory may hark back to a bygone era – but be in no doubt that the work done inside them is cutting edge.
Since 1876, train carriages have been built at the site, formerly known as Derby Carriage and Wagon Works.
In the 20 years since privatisation of British Rail, there have been a number of names over the factory gates as the business has changed hands.

175 years of Derby's railways: HS2 is a hot topic... but it would benefit our city in so many ways
Back in 1994, the Litchurch Lane operation was taken over by ABB Transportation. The business was sold and became Adtranz.
But it was in 2001 that Bombardier's relationship with Derby began.
The Canadian-owned firm bought the site from Adtranz and, over the past 13 years, has been producing carriages there.
During those ensuing years, the Derby site has achieved some notable successes.
But, due to the nature of modern train operating franchises, it has not always been plain sailing for its 1,600 workers, not to mention those who work for Bombardier's suppliers.
Bombardier has had to endure a number of peaks and troughs in activity.
In 2003, it lost a £250 million contract to build trains for the TransPennine Express route to German rivals Siemens.
It announced it was "reviewing its position'' despite securing a lucrative London Underground contract to build 1,738 carriages.
The year 2004 brought a sigh of relief to the city when Bombardier announced it would not be closing its Litchurch Lane factory.
But the bogie division at Pride Park was not so lucky.
Seven years later, it was like history was repeating itself. After missing out on the £4.5 billion InterCity Express Programme deal to Japanese firm Hitachi, in 2011, the Derby site was overlooked for the £1.6 billion Thameslink contract, which was awarded to another foreign company – Siemens.
Once again, as in 2003, Bombardier announced it was reviewing its UK operations – and there was a very real possibility that train-building in Derby would come to an end.
But the Government's decision to award yet another massive train deal to overseas competition sparked a backlash from the public, politicians, unions and the industry, who accused ministers of failing to back British manufacturing.
Delegations from Derby travelled to Bombardier Transportation's headquarters in Berlin to impress on bosses the severity of the situation.
Tens of thousands of Derby people signed a petition, around 10,000 people took part in a march and rally in the city and Bombardier workers travelled to London on a specially chartered train to lobby ministers.
We will never truly know the impact such campaigning had on the fate of Litchurch Lane, but what it did do was force the Government to re-evaluate the way it procured trains.
At the same time, Bombardier bosses agreed to keep the Derby site, while it fought for the next major contract, the £1 billion Crossrail deal.
Thankfully, the story had a happy ending.
In February, Transport for London announced it had selected Bombardier to build the 65 trains needed for Crossrail. It meant that the future of Litchurch Lane had been secured for the foreseeable future, providing the perfect tonic to Derby's 175th rail anniversary celebrations.
It also meant hundreds of new jobs being sustained and created at Derby, as well as in the supply chain – and 80 new apprentices being taken on.
Crucially, it meant that Derby's train manufacturing capability had been retained.
Despite Hitachi opening a train manufacturing plant in Newton Aycliffe, in the North East, Bombardier's Derby site remains the only place in the whole of the UK where trains are both designed and manufactured.
A case in point is the Aventra train, the vehicle that Bombardier will supply to Crossrail.
It was designed in Derby and, at the time of writing, Bombardier's designers at Litchurch Lane are working with officials from Transport for London on the final designs that will grace the new rail network in London.
According to Francis Paonessa, Bombardier's UK managing director, who is set to leave the firm this summer to oversee Network Rail's £25 billion investment in the UK's rail infrastructure, the future at the Derby site looks good.
He said: "We are really pleased to have commenced work on the Crossrail project and look forward to delivering these iconic new trains.
"We were absolutely delighted to have won the Crossrail rolling stock and depot contract.
"This was a resounding endorsement of our Bombardier Aventra train for Crossrail, which has proudly been designed and developed in the UK as an iconic and world-technology leading train for London.
"The decision was a credit to the efforts of our entire workforce in the UK."
It must also be remembered that, while a veil of uncertainty hung over Litchurch Lane, the workforce continued to turn out carriages from existing orders at record pace, hitting a number of production landmarks.
A most notable one was achieved in December last year, when the 1,000th London Underground Sub-Surface Line (SSL) tube train rolled off the production line.
Bombardier first landed the SSL contract back in 2003.
The £3.4 billion deal was awarded to the firm by Metronet, which at the time was main franchise operator of the London Underground and has since been absorbed into Transport for London.
The contract was to build almost 1,400 new carriages – the largest single fleet replacement programme in the history of the London Underground.
Mr Paonessa said: "Many of the trains we have built are now being operated by London Underground, giving exceptional levels of reliability."
Since the introduction of the new fleet, customer satisfaction levels have increased and waiting times have been reduced, with trains running at intervals of less than two minutes.
The Victoria Line is now the most reliable service on the London Underground, with trains running on average 80,000km between failures – a distance equivalent to twice around the world.
Hopefully, the same pattern will follow when ageing fleets on the Metropolitan, Circle, District and Hammersmith and City lines are replaced by Bombardier's new trains.
They are special because they are the first air-conditioned trains to operate on London Underground – something which has led Mayor of London Boris Johnson to describe them as "the coolest ride in town".
Phil Hufton, chief operating officer for London Underground, said: "The feedback we have received from our customers has been really good.
"The air conditioning in particular has been praised, keeping passengers cool during the summer and warm during the winter.
"The Mayor of London set us a goal of improving reliability by 30%. Thanks to Bombardier's trains, we have improved by 40%.
"The trains really came into their own for the Olympics in 2012 – as did the rest of the network.
"The doubters said the transport system would be the thing to let the event down – but they were proven wrong."
Earlier this month, Bombardier achieved another production landmark making its 1,000th carriage for Southern Railway.
Bombardier's partnership with the operator dates back to July 2002. Since then, it has delivered several new fleets to the train operator.
In recent years, it has secured three orders, which have helped Litchurch Lane remain busy after losing out on Thameslink.
Chris Burchell, managing director of Southern, said: "It is timely that this milestone has been reached in the year that marks the 175th anniversary of the rail industry in Derby.
"The great contribution made by Derby engineers to rail travel in Britain continues and there are millions of Southern passengers who are benefiting from the trains they produce."
Mr Paonessa said: "I've been really humbled by the way the workforce reacted following the disappointment of missing out on Thameslink.
"They reacted in the perfect way. They wanted to prove that this was a site that delivers."

Gather These Supplies
Wood tree shape
Mod Podge Satin
Martha Stewart Decorative Paint – Wedding Cake
Washi tape – your choice of colors
Lace ribbon in red
Sheer ribbon in blue
Snowflake brads
Embellishment for the top
Craft glue
Here's the wood piece that I started with. I cut off the burlap twine and squirreled aways those glittered beads (who wouldn't?).
Paint the tree. Super easy.
I applied the washi tape at a diagonal, starting at a random place on the tree.
I covered the entire tree with alternating patterns of the tape. Trim excess with scissors.
A coat of Satin Mod Podge went promptly over the top. I let it dry and then gave it a second coat.
Adding embellishments was a very random process. I cut a few strips of what I had and laid it out. Then I glued it down when I was satisfied.
Snip the ends of the brads and glue them down at the intersection of the ribbon. Let everything dry, then knot ribbon at the top if you chose.
I'm not quite sure what I'm doing with it yet, but I love it!
I think I'm just obsessed with the colors. What do you think? Also, have you ever tried washi tape? I think I'm hooked.

Picked up dreamfall on the steam sale 2 days ago. I played the longest journey to completion almost twice a very long time ago but I forgot most of the characters even though I still think it's one of the best advanture game ever made. The point is, I still enjoyed Dreamfall and its complexe storyline and great characters. Seeing april,crow and the crazy mage back was a truely great nostalgia trip.
That was all fine and good until I reached the ending. This game might have the biggest cliffhanger in the history of EVER!!! It puts halo 2 and half life episode 2 to shame. And the part after the credits just adds another layer of WTF.
I guess it's testament to the story for making me care about the fate of april, zoe, the crow and that assassin guy. Even if the resolution to some plot threads is pretty satisfying and the plot twists at the end are pretty good, it doesn't excuse the fact that they don't touch the larger conflict AT ALL. Leaving 5 billion plot threads hanging in the wind... for 6 years.
Now they say a sequel is in the works. I say Funcom is in deap shit over their goddamn MMO and that the studio contracted to produce the sequel might lose its source of funding. We might never learn what is the undreaming, what's the deal with that tower, what happens to zoe, april (come on), the crow and the assassin guy.

Protection Dog Training
During personal protection dog training, we teach your dog the difference between normal and aggressive behavior from strangers. This means that when someone becomes a threat to you or your family, your dog will automatically become alert and protective of its family and territory.
The options for a protection dog are personal protection, search and hold protection, and estate and article protection dogs.
Article protection means you can leave your dog next to any object as small as your wallet or as large as your vehicle, and once the dog is told to watch the article, no one should be able to remove it from its place.
For example, you can be playing with your child at a park and then need to take a restroom break, your dog will stay with your children and protect them until you return. Most dogs are very loyal to their owner/handler and once that bond is created, owners will feel safe and secure knowing that their trained K9 is protecting them 24 hours a day.
With proper training, our dogs are capable of guarding houses, warehouses, or construction sites, even if they are occupied. It adds peace of mind to have a dog that will protect you, your family and your estate with its life, under any circumstances.
Police Service K9 Training
Police service K9 dog training is available for law enforcement agencies and their affiliates and therapy dog training is also available for hospitals and other medical institutions.
Whether your training demands fully trained Patrol and Utility, Explosive and Narcotic detection, Tracking and Trailing K-9s or Green Canines and Imports, I-Guard has the background and experience to train any dog for its line of duty.
Most all of the trained canines from I-Guard International have gone on to pass other nationally recognized standards including AWDA and NAPWADA.
We offer a variety of professional training courses and services to help you achieve your department's goals. Our 100% training guarantee assures your department will have only the finest working K9 team.
Due to the fact that many departments lose their Police K-9s due to poorly trained dogs or the lack of in-service maintenance training, we offer re-training courses, consultations and maintenance training at our facility or on site as part of the canine purchase from I-Guard.
We can either train your own dog, or find one for you and train it for the protection needs you desire. Contact I-Guard today to inquire about a personal protection dog and protection dog training.
