The invention relates to a method for detecting a magnetic flux, a rotor position and/or a rotational speed of the rotor in a single-phase- or multi-phase-permanent magnet or -synchronous motor or -generator.
Magnetic flux, rotor position and rotational speed are defined by the stator voltage equations known per se:
As is deduced from these equations, the previously mentioned variables may be evaluated if the voltage and current in the directions α and β are known. The latter may also be evaluated as electrical data in a simple manner. According to the state of the art, this is only possible if the magnitude of the magnetic flux is assumed to be constant since otherwise the equation system may not be unambiguously solved due to too many unknown variables. Since the magnetic flux is indeed not constant, but the magnitude varies with time and rotor position, this known method is erroneous, which leads to the fact that it is only suitable in a limited manner for control and regulation processes of the motor.
Today modern multi-phase permanent magnet motors are often provided with power electronics, i.e. the commutation is effected electronically. For the control however the knowledge of the current rotor position is very significant, not only to be able to operate the motor with a high efficiency, but also in order to protect the sensitive components of the power electronics and to achieve an improved dynamic behavior of the drive.
The measurement of the rotational speed may however be effected via an external measurement arrangement in a comparatively simple manner. The exact evaluation of the rotor position however is complicated.
On the other hand where possible one tries to evaluate these values by calculation since on account of the digital electronics which are regularly present in the control and regulation part of the motor electronics, suitable computing power is available or may be made available with little effort. Suitable programs for calcuated evaluation could also be integrated by software implementation without much effort.
Against this background it is an object of the invention to provide a system and method of the known type for detecting the magnetic flux, the rotor position, and/or the rotational speed of the rotor in a single-phase or multi-phase- permanent magnet motor or -synchronous motor or -generator.
This object is achieved by the features specified in claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims as well as the subsequent description.
The basic concept of the present invention is to apply the stator voltage equations known per se with a method for detecting the previously mentioned variables, but however in contrast to the state of the art not to set the magnetic flux constant, but to also include the energy relations in the magnet of the rotor in order thus to be able to determine the previously mentioned variables, in particular the rotor position or its derivative with respect to time and rotational speed in a more exact manner.
The present invention may be applied to single-phase- as well as multi-phase permanent magnet or -synchronous motors as well as corresponding -generators. Inasmuch as it concerns single-phase motors and generators, one of the two stator voltage equations drops away. Otherwise with two-phase or multi-phase motors or generators one computes with the stator voltage equation for two-phase motors and generators, wherein with three-phase and multi-phase motors one reduces or transforms by calculation to a two-phase model in a manner known per se. Inasmuch as this is concerned then values detected with measurement technology must be accordingly converted to a two-phase model.
The present invention in particular is envisaged for permanent magnet motors, but in the same manner may also be applied to synchronous motors or generators, wherein with synchronous motors or generators the magnet formed by the rotor coil takes the place of the permanent magnet. In this context the generator application may also be the case in combination with the control of motors operated with power electronics if with generator operation these supply to the mains in order to determine the rotor position of the mains generator.
The method according to the invention may also be used for generators, for example with the control.
These and other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description, the accompanying drawings and the appended claims.
In order to take into account the energy conditions in the magnet 5 of the rotor 2 the following equations (3) and (4) are applied.
The particularity of these rotor energy equations lies in the fact that the magnetic flux in the β-direction enters the derivative with respect to time of the magnetic flux in the α-direction and vice versa.
By way of this there results a computational motor model with which for example as illustrated by way of
In the following, in the motor models represented as block diagrams a computed value is in each case represented by ^ whereas with the values which are not characterized by ^ it is the case of measured values.
It is to be understood that from the initially mentioned variables (magnetic flux, rotor position, rotational speed) one may in each case evaluate one if one uses the motor model symbolized by the block 6 in
With the method according to
From the magnetic flux ψα in the direction α and ψβ in the direction β then by way of an angle calculator 7 which applies the geometric designation according to
Since this motor model 6 in its simplest form only represents an approximation by calculation of the actual values, it may be improved by further measures. Such an improvement for example is represented by way of the method shown in
In the method according to
For the previously described method represented as an example by way of
As is evident from the above equations the correction terms υ2 are formed such that in the equations (3a) and (4a) in the one phase they are formed by way of the difference between computed and measured currents of the other phase. The variables Ki und Kψ at the same time in each case form a constant factor.
By way of example in
There are however constellations with which the rotor rotational speed may also be determined by calculation or with which the sensorically determined readings are not sufficiently accurate or are temporally available only in comparatively large intervals. For these cases in a further development of the invention there is provided an adaptation block 10 which by way of a rotational speed correction term 11 in which the difference between an assumed or computed rotational speed and the flux speed ωflux computed from the motor model 6 a is formed, the evaluated rotational speed approximates the actual rotor speed until the rotational speed correction term 11 assumes the value zero. This correction term 11 is shown in
Within the motor model 6 a the speed of the magnetic flux is formed by the derivative with respect to time of the evaluated position of the magnetic flux. If one thus differentiates the equation (5) with respect to time in or to obtain the speed of the magnetic flux and if one substitutes the equations (3a) and (4a) in this differentiated equation (5) then the speed of the magnetic flux results as follows:
The adaptation block 10 forms part of an approximation process with which the assumed and computed rotational speed is brought into agreement with the actual rotor rotational speed with the help of the motor model 6 a and the rotational speed correction term 11, until the rotational speed correction term becomes zero.
Additionally one may take into account the difference between the rotor rotational speed computed in the adaptation block 10 and a measured rotor rotational speed. Such an additional rotational speed correction term 15 is additively combined at the node point 12 with the rotational speed correction term 11, which as a formula is represented as follows:
If no measured rotor rotational speed is available this additional rotational speed correction term 15 is equal to zero. Kv represents an amplification factor with which this additional rotational speed 15 is inputted.
According to
The rotational speed model contains further information on mechanical relationships of the drive system. Usefully the change of the rotational speed, thus the temporal change in the rotor speed is expressed by a mechanical condition equation which takes into account the previously mentioned relationships. The change of the rotational speed may at the same time be taken into account by the following equation in the rotational speed model 13:
This condition equation which is known per se indicates that the change in rotational speed is only effected if the drive moment is larger than the load moment or vice versa, and that this change is then dependent on the difference moment as well as the moment of inertia of the rotating load.
This additional information in combination with the adaptation block 10 with a changing rotational speed leads to a quicker result with which the computed rotational speed of the rotor corresponds to the actual rotational speed of the rotor and is thus suitable in particular for tasks with a highly dynamic drive. The rotational speed model however assumes that corresponding mechanical or electrical variables are for example available by way of measurement or in another manner. At the same time, as the case may be, the rotational speed model may also simplified by skillfully met assumptions. If the motor for example runs at constant speed and the rotational speed model is used for determining the rotational speed the equation (8) results in zero so that then the rotational speed model is not used in its true sense but instead of this the rotational speed is evaluated as described by way of
The equation (8) may on the other hand be simplified by certain load assumptions, for example by the load condition ML=0 or constant. The load moment is often not known or may only be determined with great difficultly. In many cases however one may assume a constant load moment. With this assumption the system rotational speed change correction term 13 then has the following form:
ΔωSystem—is the system change correction term and
K4—the constant.
The constant K4 is zero if the load moment is assumed to be zero. Otherwise the constant K4 is to be previously determined for the respective unit type or application.
The drive moment is determined by the equation (10):
in which K2 is a constant.
The term in brackets in equation (10) is already known from the motor model 6 a. If one substitutes equation (10) into equation (9) then it becomes evident that for this case (assumption that the load moment is zero or constant) the system change correction term 13 may be computed from the motor model 6 a. Thus without further measurement one may determine this correction term 13 and compute the rotational speed of the rotor more quickly and accurately. It is thus particularly favorable if the drive moment may be determined from the variables deduced from the motor model 6 a.
If the motor for example is applied in a centrifugal pump unit then the load moment may be determined by calculation in a simple manner since it is evaluated by the equation (11):
in which K1 is a constant,
which provides a relationship for the rotor rotational speed. Here too the variables derived from the motor model may be entered into the rotational speed model without further mechanical or electrical measurements being required.
Irrespective of whether the rotational speed is only determined by way of the adaptation model 10 or supplementary to this also by taking into account the rotational speed model, a measured rotational speed may also be inputted in order to obtain the result more quickly or to increase the accuracy of the computed values. Such a quick and accurate acquisition of the motor operation variables as may be effected by way of the previously mentioned inventive method is a precondition for a dynamic and stable activation of the motor.
For those models where rotational speed is sensed, such sensing may be done with a Hall sensor by way of example.
The previously described methods may be implemented into digital motor electronics without further ado. The continuous detection and storage of the corresponding electrical values of the motor, thus of the motor currents and voltages today belongs to the state of art applied today. This data thus on the control side is available anyway so that the present invention, as the case may be, may be used within the digital motor control in order to improve this.

Ross A. Clevenger didn't have trouble entertaining himself, whether playing video games and watching movies or wandering off on a trail alone while camping in the woods. After one family camping trip, Clevenger showed the others pictures he had taken, and they were surprised at the sights he had discovered. "They said, 'Wow, where were you?' He found stuff they didn't see," recalled Nancy George, the fiancee of Clevenger's father, Loren. Clevenger, 21, of Givens Hot Springs, Idaho, died Feb. 8 of wounds he suffered from an explosion in Anbar province. He was a 2003 high school graduate and was assigned to Boise. Clevenger enjoyed snowboarding, motorcycles, horseback riding and fishing. He planned to go into nursing after his service was up. He liked to say someday he would buy a cabin, and his dad could come to live with him when he got old. He loved ice fishing, four-wheel driving, jumping on the trampoline and the book "Where the Wild Things Are," by Maurice Sendak. The book was read to him one final time and then placed in the casket with him. He also is survived by his mother, Abby Bradshaw.

Technology Recharge Fee
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How much is the FY 2016 Technology Recharge Fee?
- The Technology Recharge Fee for fiscal year (FY) 2016 is:
- $55.51 per month per capita for all academic and administrative units
- $50.91 per month per capita for the Medical Centers
The rates represent a 1.9 percent increase for FY 2016, the first net increase since the fee was implemented in FY 2011. The increase is necessary to address escalating costs of IT operations, including enterprise software licensing, network security, geographic resiliency and critical facilities infrastructure.
What is the invoicing schedule? How will I be invoiced?
- Each May:
UW Information Technology will send unit administrators a template, which may be used to allocate charges to the appropriate budget numbers.
- Each July:
UW Information Technology will charge budgets for the technology recharge fee via an Internal Sales Document (Technology Services and Equipment Billing).
- The charge will appear as a service order, charging object code 03-09-00.
- In the Technology Services and Equipment Bill Viewer the Technology Recharge Fee will show under the Non-Recurring Charges tab/section.
- The description field on the Technology Services and Equipment Bill will show the quantity of headcount @ rate (monthly billing $55.51, quarterly $166.53 for academic and administrative units).
- Monthly or quarterly invoice frequency:
An organization may choose either monthly or quarterly billing (but not a mix). If you choose quarterly billing, the charge will occur during the first month of each quarter—July, October, January and April.
How do you determine what budget number gets charged?
- The budget number is provided to UW-IT by the unit administrator.
How frequently will UW Information Technology revise rates?
How much warning will we have when rates change?
- Rates will be reviewed annually, published by spring, and effective the following July.
I purchase other services from UW Information Technology (self-sustaining services). Will there be changes in those rates?
- UW Information Technology offers dozens of self-sustaining services on a fee-per-usage basis. These self-sustaining areas need to recover all costs associated with providing the service to the UW community. Rates for all self-sustaining services are reviewed by UW Management Accounting & Analysis (MAA) annually to ensure the service is self-sustaining and the rates comply with University and federal requirements. The self-sustaining rates are adjusted as necessary to ensure those two goals are met. The self-sustaining rates are published each spring, effective the following July.
How does UW Information Technology use its centrally allocated General and Designated Operating Funds?
- These funds go directly to supporting basic services for UW campuses. The Technology Recharge Fee supplements those resources.
How do centrally mandated budget reductions impact the Technology Recharge Fee?
- Budget reductions are implemented by reducing costs. They are not passed on to campus as an increase to the Technology Recharge Fee.
Per-Capita Count
Who is included in the per-capita count?
- The per-capita count includes all salaried employees whether full- or part-time and regardless of job responsibilities or location. Excluded are graduate students, hourly and student hourly employees.
Why does the Technology Recharge Fee apply to my staff using little or no technology?
- Although some employees appear to use little or no technology, they have access to all of the services and benefits of the per-capita bundle, including payroll, other administrative systems, UW NetIDs for access to resources such as Employee Self-Service (ESS), email or email forwarding, and UW Directory information. In addition, mobile devices and other forms of technology are becoming more prevalent and used by increasing numbers of employees in the field. Furthermore, everyone benefits from security efforts to protect our personally identifiable information, and from emergency notification systems.
- The services in the bundle were included because they are available to everyone employed by the UW; they are used by all, or almost all.
- When a two-tier rate structure was investigated and the experiences of other universities were evaluated, most that started with a more complex rate structure abandoned it once it became clear that the cost of maintaining it did not warrant the increased delineation. The difficulties of defining and identifying individuals who use less technology, as well as the complexity of implementing such a system, would add significant overhead and cost.
Why does the Technology Recharge Fee apply to faculty and staff who are located off campus?
- Faculty and staff located off campus benefit from technology services in the Technology Recharge Fee, including, for example, UW NetIDs, email and email forwarding, antivirus software, security, payroll and other administrative systems. In addition, off-campus facilities often require significant effort to establish and support the communications infrastructure.
- Even if a case could be made that faculty and staff off campus use a different level of basic services (and in some cases, that level of service may be higher), University systems have no way to track location to identify these off-campus faculty and staff. As with the idea of a differential rate for individuals who use less technology, the number of exceptions from every college, school and administrative unit would add complexity and cost to the system. In the end, the oversight committee recommended the use of all salaried employees for the per-capita rate as the best proxy for the amount of basic technology used by each unit.
Why are students not included in the per-capita count?
- The existing state appropriations and tuition paid by students, which UW Information Technology receives in the form of General Operating Funds, is being applied to student costs associated with per-capita charges.
Will my per-capita count change each quarter?
- No. The per-capita count is a static count. It is based on a four-quarter average of the previous fiscal year. The per-capita count for the FY 2016 rate was taken on August 15, 2014; November 15, 2014; February 15, 2015; and will be taken April 15, 2015. The per-capita count for the FY 2017 rate will be taken on a quarterly basis in the fiscal year 2016.
- As a result of the timing, your per-capita count may include employees who have separated from your unit, and not include new employees who have recently joined. This is a result of our need to obtain a static count in which to calculate the rate.
How will you ensure UW Information Technology is providing the services the University wants, and doing so in the most efficient way possible?
- The IT Service Investment Board is charged by the Provost to conduct an annual review of the fee level, methodology, process and services included in the basic bundle. Throughout its FY 2016 review, the committee was mindful of the continuing resource constraints at the University. The Board's recommendation reflects the advice of the Technology Recharge Fee Advisory Committee, comprised of UW School and College administrators representing academic and administrative units and UW Medical Centers, which was charged with supporting the Board in its annual TRF review by providing in-depth analysis and counsel. The Board will conduct a review of the FY 2017 rate in 2016 using a consistent methodology to provide due diligence in reviewing costs and to accommodate any changes in total costs or service levels.
- In addition, the IT Service Management Board is charged with optimizing the design, delivery, operation and sourcing of UW-IT services, conducting an annual review of the UW-IT Service Catalog, and providing recommendations to the IT Service Investment Board for adding, changing, and removing services and for any associated recommended changes in investment levels.
How are phone rates impacted by the Technology Recharge Fee?
- The fixed cost components of the telephone infrastructure that support the entire University are included in the basic bundle of services supported by the Technology Recharge Fee. This includes the labor and investments needed to support the infrastructure that provides service on each of the campuses, including all emergency phones.
- The variable cost component of providing a phone to any specific location will be provided on a self-sustaining basis. These are the direct costs of actually placing a phone on a desk.
Are there any limitations to UW Information Technology services?
- Yes, there are some limitations on service levels. For example, the basic bundle covers the existing infrastructure for the wired and Wi-Fi network connectivity; it does not include moves, additions or changes. Each person is also limited to one personal UW NetID. Details on service limits are available in "FY 2016—Basic Services" at /uwit/reports/FY2016BasicServices.pdf
Can I expect to have access to Wi-Fi as a basic service?
- Access is limited to the current Wi-Fi infrastructure and coverage. The Technology Recharge Fee includes funding that has enabled UW Information Technology to continually expand coverage.
Is Exchange email included in the bundle of services funded by the Technology Recharge Fee?
- The new cloud-based "UW Exchange" service is included as part of the basic bundle of services funded by the Technology Recharge Fee. The service includes calendaring and 50GB of mailbox storage.
Grants and Contracts
Can the Technology Recharge Fee be charged directly to grants and contracts?
- The Technology Recharge Fee cannot be charged directly to federal (or federal flow-through) grants or contracts, but it can be charged to non-federal grants or contracts if the sponsor does not specifically disapprove the cost in the award or in other notices it gives to the University.
Can UW-IT services paid on a fee-per-usage basis (e.g., database consulting, videoconferencing) be charged directly to a sponsored project?
- Yes, see the Self-Sustaining Services rate sheet.
Recharge Centers
Can the Technology Recharge Fee be charged to UW recharge and cost centers?
- Yes, the Technology Recharge Fee can be charged to approved UW recharge and cost centers. The charge should be proportionate to salary, i.e., if 50 percent of a faculty or staff member's salary is charged to a recharge or cost center, 50 percent of their Technology Recharge Fee can be charged to the recharge or cost center.
Who do I contact if I still have questions?
- Send email to firstname.lastname@example.com

a primitive human as characterized in literature, representing natural goodness and simplicity when not encumbered by civilization
Someone who belongs to an "uncivilized" group or tribe and is considered to be, consequently, more worthy than people who live within civilization. Many writers and thinkers through the centuries of Western civilization have believed in the noble savage. The expression is particularly associated with Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

I live in Rome, in my house which I renovated with passion!
I'm a landscape architect, working with public spaces, gardens and parks.
I really love to design, starting with architectural projects, but enjoying also small accessories.
I also organize workshops with children, where they can enjoy architecture, recycle and a good green culture.
I really love to travel and discover new places and culture.
I love dinner and cook with friends, go to theatre and concerts, art expositions, walking, biking and camping.
I expecially love dancing, and most of all lindy hop (30's jazz dance), that I dance since 2 years!
I speak english, french, portoguese and spanish.

One in my sub. I wanted another but it's sold out.
One in my sub & one extra. I got lucky!
Top Ten MOTUC wants: Sagitar, Great Black Wizard, Fang-or, Dragstor, Skeletor's Skeleton Warriors, Despara, Odiphus, Illumina w/Sleetah, Lady Slither, Tuvar & Baddrah 2-pack
Just the one set. One on either side of Hordak in my display. I've never been big on army building.
just the one set from my sub...
Man lives in the sunlit world of what he believes to be reality.
But...there is, unseen by most, an underworld, a place that is just as real,

Three day of sale and one from my sub for a total of four kits.
This poll needs more options like: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, ................
I bought as many Troopers as I did Palace Guards.
Just the one pack from my sub, I don't army build. I was tempted to with this set, but a 20 minute sellout crushed that temptation firmly.
Bring me: Lord Masque / Saurod / Dragstor

4 on Erbay presale.
I would have given Mattel my money for 6 sets but they sold out. Once they go back on sale I'll try for more. They should do another run on this set, even if its limited to convention exclusive numbers.
Althogh there is no option for it, I sadly have to say zero. Not for lack of trying, but simply too many site issues. On the plus side at least it will save me some money to put towards other things ( like Grayskull).
I'm only getting the one pair in my sub. I had the opportunity to order more, but I wanted an extra Mantenna with the WP, I'm not much for army building, and gosh darn it, I've given Matty enough money this month!
....don't even ask me about next month.
Classics TGR figures should be Filmation-based, but they NEED MORE COWBELL!
I orders 7 sets today, with 1 also coming from my sub, for a total of 8 sets, or 16 Troopers.
In the name of the Lloyd!
it would have been two if they didnt sell out
Skeleton-Warriors, Ra-Jar, Spinwit, Rock Golem, Evil Seed, Lord Masque, Prahvus, General Tartaran, Hawke, Slob-Boar, King Agho, Hunga the Harpy, Sh'gora, Masks of Power Demons, Nocturna, Lizzor, Horde Wraiths, Sagitar, Crimson Fury, Lodar, Vizar, Angast, Negator, Melaktha, ABC Giants, Stridor
I bought two.... as a MOC collector I'll keep one MOC and another one FMOC, customized with He-Man and Hordak heads and names.
I know 2 angels: their names are Jedi_Kunle and Mikethedrummer!
Worship the Snake Goddess!
Round 2, vote for
Tuvar, Baddrah, Crita, Granita, Gray, Colonel Blast and the Snake Goddess
Got my 6 and decided after the beating from the NYCC, my Strobo purchase, the weapons pack purchase and getting ready for my Grayskulls I felt maybe get some more down the road if they pop up again.
'Tis the wind and nothing more.....
one set with my sub, I'm not interested in building armies, one set is just fine.
Recent.... Lizard Man
Wanted.... NA She-Ra, Jitsu....
Needed.... Dragstor
Oh man, did I forget to use these [sarcasm][/sarcasm] again? Sorry....
Got one set with my sub. I knew better, there are to many hoarders for hordes.
but I dont really build motuc. 25th joes I went nuts.
- - - Updated - - -
And scalpers. Lets.see how many make it to ebay. Lets count shall we? Lol
one with my subscription. I would have liked to get another one I think, but between how little money I have and how many items are out this month, I could not consider picking up another.
However if I can find a set at a very reasonable price, or pick one up on a Madmatty Sale or something, that would be nice.
But I can live with but one for now.
Ordered 4, got none due to sell-out. between 9am and 904am.

Today we have a giveaway sponsored by a leading appliance specialist based in the UK, Appliances Online. They would love to give one lucky Steamy Kitchen reader the chance to win a $100 Amazon gift card!
Appliances Online $100 Amazon Gift Card Giveaway
Included in this giveaway:
one (1) $100 Amazon Gift Card
Provided by Appliances Online:
Below are the 12 important reasons why we believe we are better than our competitors.
1) Best Price – We check all our prices every day against all our competitors to make sure we offer the best price. We even display their prices on our website so you can see them clearly, to make your life easier. In the unlikely event of a competitor offering exactly the same product, having it in stock and available for immediate delivery at a cheaper price, then we will match it. No catches or tricky exceptions.
2) Biggest Range – We sell virtually everything there is to sell in the major appliance market. Over 30 brands and over 4,000 products. The only thing with such a big choice, is that you might need some help – but we're here for that too.
3) Help!!! – You don't buy appliances very often, so we have a UK call centre full of trained people passionate about appliances to help you. We answer the phone quickly, so whether you just need help to choose what to buy, are ready to place an order or need help 12 months after we have delivered your order – every call is important to us. We are here to help until all of your needs are met, there's no rush. That is why we open 8am until 10pm, 7 days a week.
4) Reviews – Real advice real customers – highlighting all the good and the bad points. We really want you to be able to help each other. A lot of our customers that order us are kind enough to share their experiences with us, so that we can share them with future customers to help them choose the right appliances for them. This process is designed to be as simple as possible to make it as helpful as possible. Please remember how helpful the reviews were to you when we send you a little nudge to ask you if you will help future customers. A little help for each other is what makes the world go round!
5) Videos – Sometimes it's difficult to get the full effect a picture on the web without going to a store. We have teamed up with Appliance-Reviews.co.uk to bring you product videos that are simple, honest and take you through all the key features of your product. We will tell you the bad things as well as the good so you know what you are buying and can then decide what is important to you. I guess it's like going to a really helpful store without leaving your home. No queuing or parking hassles, no overpriced petrol to get you there – just great advice in the comfort of your own home, or wherever you are.
6) Availability – We know what we've got in stock (which is a lot!) and because we deliver to all postcodes every day we can give you accurate delivery dates on the website without you having to enter all your details. We have over 300,000 sq ft of warehousing which is bigger than 3 Wembley stadiums – that's a lot of appliances!
7) Delivery – Delivery is everything. Yes, everything. We want the whole process, choosing your appliance to switching it on for the first time, to be as enjoyable and hassle free as possible. This is why we offer free standard delivery on all orders – bringing you excellent value because we value you. We are proud to bring you the best price, the best service and the best delivery. We even have delivery add ons so you can tailor your package to suit you. We are the genie in the lamp – your wish is our command!
8) Convenience – Taking all day off work isn't always easy so for a bit extra you can decide what time YOU want it delivered by selecting a 4 hour time slot – even if that suits you best on a Sunday afternoon!
9) Connection – For even more convenience we can install your appliance when we deliver it to you. That means you get everything done in one visit. It's great value too, as charges start at only £9.99 and go up a bit varying on the appliance.
10) Recycling – We care about the world we live in as you do, so for a small charge we will take your old appliance away and ensure it is recycled for you. You never know you may even get it back one day as a baked bean tin!
11) Peace of mind – You can return anything you buy us for any reason within 10 days for FREE. We will even come and collect it for FREE on the best day to suit you. We deliver 7 days – and so we collect 7 days. No rubbish, no arguments and no tricks, just simple good honest service – we want you to be happy with what you buy. The only thing we ask is that you do not use or damage the appliance while you have it.
12) We care – We hope you've picked up that above all else we care. We care that you are happy with what you buy and that we amaze you with our service. We want you to tell all your friends and family. We want you to feel great about something that, if you're honest, you probably didn't really want to have to buy in the first place.

Select Local Merchants
Snap Fitness - K & B Fitness LLCRead MoreSnap Fitness's around-the-clock gyms enable visitors to fortify their physical well-being with a cornucopia of advanced fitness equipment and certified personal trainers. With 24-hour access, members don't have to let The Man or one of his many secretaries tell them when to help themselves to Snap's strength-training gear or top-of-the-line cardio machines, which feature televisions and other media diversions. A friendly, unintimidating atmosphere provides a refreshing change of pace from aloof gym employees and ear-splitting pump-up jams. Members also enjoy nationwide access to all Snap Fitness locations, ideal for working out while traveling.2355 Belmont Center Dr NEPlainfield Township, MI US
CurvesRead MoreWith machines set up in rows to encourage competition, many ordinary gyms cater to men's bodies and psychology, right down to the urinals that were "accidentally" installed in the women's locker room. At Curves, you'll move around a circuit of hydraulic resistance machines that have been designed to work with women's bodies and promote weight loss, protect against osteoporosis, and deal with arthritis. An experienced trainer is always nearby to help manage your machine maneuvering and your muscle making. Instead of fiddling with weight stacks and losing your momentum, the hydraulic machines use your body weight and fitness level to create resistance that matches your abilities, decreasing the risk of soreness or injury. Because traditional lift-and-lower motions create bulky muscles, each machine uses push-and-pull motions to create toned, lean muscles perfect for crushing a grapefruit without looking like you can.400 E Division StRockford, MI US

ARTengageRead MoreA pirate ship. A skyscraper. An exact replica of Rodin's The Thinker. Kids can build almost anything when they're given enough LEGOs. At the Creation Station at ARTengage!, they have access to 40,000 of those little blocks. The building blocks of imagination don't end there, though. The station also features marble runs, light-up blocks, and magnetic building systems, giving kids ample tools to bring their creations to life. The Creation Station is the brainchild of Ron Pleune, an artist who's spent his professional life bringing the power of art to others. It's just one of ARTengage!'s many creation opportunities. The center is also home to a painting studio, where kids and adults alike can express themselves on canvas. Ron even takes the show on the road, hosting art classes at area restaurants, wineries, and breweries.120 Courtland StRockford, MI US
Braeside Golf ClubRead MoreShort game and putting skills will likely determine golfers' fate at Braeside Golf Club, an 18-hole golf course that bounds over mounds and through 6,638 yards of West Michigan countryside. The pro shop touts the course's par-threes as some of the most difficult in the area, and it's easy to tell why: from the tips, the shortest of the four holes stands at 164 yards, with the other three measure in at 196, 186, and 217 yards. At those distances, even the most accurate golfers can fail to hold the green, leaving a tricky chip and putt in order to get up-and-down for par. Easier scoring opportunities await at the course's par-fives, which long hitters and players with gravity-resistant golf balls can reach in two. With four tee options, the course presents approachable challenges for golfers across the handicap spectrum.5460 11 Mile Rd NERockford, MI US
Rogue River WineryRead MoreThe sommeliers of the recently opened Rogue River Winery, under the management of Jay Johnson, want their guests to learn about and love wine as much as they do, even providing do's and don'ts of wine drinking on their website. They fill appropriate glassware with blends created on the premises, which are perched atop the wooded banks of the Rogue River, and also pour notable wines and sangria from neighboring Michigan vineyards. A tasting room with burgundy walls, a reflective double-sided bar, and soft contemporary lighting welcome guests for leisurely wine-and-cheese tastings, and visitors can also enjoy a spacious outdoor patio. The winery also hosts corporate events, as well as bachelorette parties where brides-to-be can blend their own wine.10 E Bridge St.Rockford, MI US

Double mirrors flank the bath up to the window for maximum panoramic effect, while the black, lower half of the room reduces reflective glare for crisper gazing, especially at night. The minimal, nearly all monochromatic palette also doesn't compete with the coveted vista of Central Park.

Hi is sorcerer rare and iwould like to know wat its worth
Hi is sorcerer rare and iwould like to know wat its worth
Yo im Phelank my vmk name is Outgoingrichman so if you see me add me and if you have sparrow trade im trading anything but before u add me tell me and then i will accept and one more thing My room is Rarest Trade room on earth
First off, welcome to Mice Chat!
Second, Sorcerer isn't a big in demand hat, it's hard to say what anything is worth in VMK, because trades are what the people trading are willing to give and take for the item.
You wouldn't be able to get a bird hat for it alone, but it would be a good start towards one.
Make sure you've read the Mice Chat FAQ's and Rules.
Good luck getting your hat!
Hi Welcome to mice chat!
Like cyre said, make sure you take a look at the Rules & FAQ page!
Also, explorer around, This would actually belong here:
Did I make a good trade thread?
Even if you didn't trade, you may ask what items are worth.
Have a nice, great time on mice chat!
Hope your time here is splendid!

"A moment on your lips, a lifetime on your hips" – unknown
Whoever came up with that phrase deserves an applause. Even though there is some truth in it, but that doesn't mean that we should restrict our diet. To save us (especially the sweet tooth) from a lifetime of agony, I've decided to share some of the healthier recipes that I've adapted. Cheers!
