The present invention relates to optical bar code readers and includes an optical signal processor for both detecting and reading bar code labels on objects and detecting the presence or absence of the objects themselves.
Fixed scan bar code readers are often used in such environments as production plants and scientific research laboratories to automatically take an inventory of items transported by automatic conveyance passed a fixed optical scanner. For example, in laboratory studies, pharmaceutical testing and production plants it is often necessary to make a careful inventory of each compound held in a vessel such as a test tube where hundreds of such compositions and their containers are handled by automated or semi-automated equipment. A bar code label on each vessel such as a test tube has been found to be a reliable and highly efficient expedient to maintain the necessary inventory control over the compounds. The fixed scanners are placed alongside a line array of vessels that are transported across the path of the fixed optical scanner. The bar codes, when presented to the scanner, are read automatically and the resulting label information is fed to data processing equipment for identifying that particular vessel, its compound, and other pertinent data.
In such an environment, to maintain the high integrity of production and scientific control, it is desirable to know when a particular object is present or absent at each retention location. For example, the automated equipment may transport a single file line-up of test tubes past the scanner. A transportable rack is provided with test tube holders. When any of these holders, which may simply be a receiving hole in a rack, is empty, that information is useful in order to take an accurate inventory of the vessels present and their respective bar codes.
Therefore, it is an aspect of the present invention to incorporate, in a bar code scanning and reading system, a device for sensing the presence or absence of the object itself, especially objects having a reflectivity that is significantly different compared to that of the bar code label, such as transparent or translucent glass, ceramic, plastic, or other similar materials. In some existing systems, efforts have been proposed to determine whether an object is present or absent from the processing of the bar code label data. For example, using known bar code verification techniques including code matching algorithms, it is possible to verify that a valid label has been read and in such case it is presumed that the object is present. If only fragments of bar code data are detected, the signal processing presumes that a label or part of a label was present, even though unreadable or unverifiable, and that therefore the object is also present. As the retrieved bar code fragments diminish below a certain threshold level it is assumed that no label is present and in such case it is unknown or at least uncertain as to whether the object is present. When the presence or absence of the object, such as a test tube, is unknown or at least uncertain, the ability of the system to provide accurate inventory and quality control is diminished.
In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, a bar code scanner is provided for reading bar code labels on objects by causing a beam of coherent light, such as from a diode laser, to scan across target locations that are adapted to hold objects labeled with bar codes. Reflections from the bar code label are photo detected and the relative reflectivity from the bar code on the label is converted into a fluctuating reflectivity signal that is processed to yield the information encoded in the object's bar code. Reflections from the target location are also collected by an object detection processor that senses a predetermined specular content of the reflections and determines whether an object itself is present even though the object lacks a label or lacks a bar code on the label. In the case of transparent objects, especially glass or plastic test tubes or other vessels that have a polished smooth but contoured surface, reflection at right angles off of the contoured transparent object surface will produce a strong specular return in the object presence photo detector. The presence or absence of such bright distinctive specular reflection off of the transparent object surface provide a reliable indication of the presence or absence of this object even when no label is present.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the same scanning beam used to detect and read the bar code label is employed to cause the reflections off of the surface of the object to detect its presence or absence. Furthermore, in the preferred embodiment, the detection of the presence, or absence of the object is performed by looking for the distinctive reflections when they are within the same plane as the scanning beam, hence at right angle to the object surface at the point of scan beam incidence. Since non-coherent, e.g., yellow light, results in reflections off an object surface that fall off in intensity as the cosine of distance, reflection of coherent, specular light from the object surface, when normal to the source beam, do not fall off as rapidly with distance, and hence the specular reflection from the coherent scanning beam stand out against the noise background of yellow light ensuring reliable object presence or absence detection. Also in the preferred embodiment, the scanning beam is produced by a rotating multi-faceted mirror that causes a source beam from a coherent laser diode to scan in a fan-shaped pattern of about 60� in a vertical plane intercepting lengthwise axis of each test tube. The tubes are sequentially conveyed past the scanner in a side by side upstanding array in a test tube rack or other conveyable holder. The bar code label is placed on each test tube so that the alternating high and low reflectivity bars are transverse to the test tube axis. The fan-shaped scanning beam thus defines a scanning plane that intersects the lengthwise axis of each test tube forming a scan line on the vertically oriented label. Reflections from the test tube and label are directed back into that same plane when each test tube body is conveyed into dead center alignment registration with the scanning beam. It is at this registration position that the reflections from the object surface such as a bare glass test tube are directed back to the object photo detector of the scanner. A limited angle acceptance window on the object photodetector and filtering of the resulting signal from the object reflections further ensure reliable object presence or absence detection.
The foregoing and other features of the present invention will be more fully appreciated when considered in light of the following specification and drawings in which:

FIG. 1 shows the invention in its preferred embodiment in which a bar code scanner 10 of the fixed mount type includes object detection and is mounted alongside a rack conveyance or the like for moving a plurality of objects, in this case, test tubes 12 past the scanner. Test tubes 12 may be held by any suitable means such as a rack 14 shown here that is formed with a plurality of test tube receiving openings 16. Bar code scanner 10 includes a housing 20 in which a multifaceted rotating scanner mirror 22 intercepts a beam 24 of coherent light produced by a laser diode 26. Mirror 22 is rotated by a motor 28 (see FIG. 3) so that each of multiple of facets 30 (see FIG. 2) reflect beam 24 in a fan-shaped scan 32, here in a vertical plane aligned with the elongate axis of the test tube 12. Fan-shaped scan 32 passes through a window 34 of scanner housing 20 as illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, so that as each test tube is transported across the path of the scan 32 light is reflected off of a bar code label 36 (see FIG. 2). The alternating high reflection background and low reflection black bars of the bar code label are spaced vertically, or in this case lengthwise along the test tube. The width of the code bars thus wraps partly around the tube's circumference. As the coherent beam of laser light is deflected into the fan shaped scan pattern 32 by the rotating mirror 30, the beam sweeps vertically forming a scan line lengthwise of the test tube body from a lower end of label 36 to an upper end. This scan orientation is called a "ladder" and is generally preferred because the beam makes multiple vertical sweeps or "climbs" of the label code as the object is transported horizontally past the fix scan station. Reflections off of the label indicated at 40 alternate between high and low intensity due to the alternating dark bars such as black ink print on light background, usually white paper label. The reflections 40 propagate back to scanner 20 and in this embodiment return generally along the beam scan axis 32 striking a facet 30 of mirror 22 that in turn reflects the returns into a receiving face of a bar code scan detector 42 that is oriented toward mirror 22. Detector 42 operates to collect the reflections off of the bar code label and develop a signal of fluctuating reflectivity level representing the bar code. The resulting signal is fed over connection 44 to a bar code preprocessor 46 that shapes and conditions the signal and performs certain known preprocessing operations, such as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,239,169. It is then fed as a preprocessed digital signal to a microcomputer 48 holding a stored program for reading the code and outputting or storing the contents of the label 36.
Incorporated into scanner 20 and operating in combination with the existing coherent scan beam 32 are object presence detection components including object reflection detector and filter assembly 50 and an object detection signal processing circuit 52 connected to detector assembly 50 over connection 54 as best shown in FIG. 2. It is a feature of the invention that detector assembly 50 is constructed and arranged on scanner 20 so as to receive specular reflections, if any, from each object such as test tube 12, when present at each of the object retaining locations. The reflections off the object are indicated at 40' and are unique in that specular reflections, that is reflections at the frequency of the coherent source light from laser diode 26, are produced off of a surface of the object that might otherwise absorb or transmit scan light, such as yellow or non-coherent light. It is a unique characteristic of smooth or polished surface objects such as bare transparent glass or plastic test tubes or other pharmaceutical containing vessels that a beam of coherent laser light such as the beam in bar code scan 32 when incident at a normal angle, that is 90� to the surface, returns specular reflections that are high energy relative to other types of light sources and other angles of incidence and reflection. This is best illustrated in FIGS. 4a and 4b which show in FIG. 4a a top view of the scanner object detector assembly 50 and one of the test tubes 12 transported passed the fixed scanner station. When the fan-shaped scan beam 32 that is used for reading a label strikes the circumferential surface of test tube 12 dead center of the diameter, then a reflection 40' in the same plane as the fan-shaped scan bean 32 is returned to detector assembly 50 as a distinctive, high intensity reflection as illustrated in FIG. 4b at the coherent source frequency λ0. Contrast the sharp reflection 40' of the scan beam when it strikes test tube 12 dead center, that is when the plane of scan beam 32 is aligned with the center axis of a test tube 12, to the reflection that occurs when the test tube is either slightly ahead or beyond the dead center position as indicated by the position of test tube 12a, shown in dotted line form, causing an off dead center reflection 40'a that is scattered away from the capture angle α of object detector assembly 50. This is illustrated also in FIG. 4b in which the prominent object present spectrum 60 is maximum at α=90� to the tangent of the circumferential surface of test tube 12. Furthermore, ambient, or yellow light and random reflections off of nearby structures and substances including test tube holders, clips, chemicals, or other assorted objects that may be present as the test tubes pass the scanner station create lower level yellow light noise in the detector 50 indicated as spurious no object present noise 62 level in FIG. 4b. By establishing an electronic threshold shown graphically as level threshold 64 in FIG. 4b, detector assembly 50 and object detection processing circuit 52 effectively and reliably sense the higher level specular reflections off of an object surface such as a bare test tube 12 at dead center of the scanning position. This specular reflection is then used as a signal to indicate object present, or in the case of an absence of the signal, to signify no object present.
To further enhance the efficacy of the object detection, photo detector assembly 50 includes a predetection optical device such as a filter 66 that provides a limited angle of acceptance β that, for example, is �3� in a plane orthogonal to the plane of beam 32 which in this case would be in a horizontal plane relative to the scanner. Assembly 50 further includes an optical filter 68 that selectively passes the specular wave lengths λ0 of the scan beam from source diode 26. It is observed that the sensitivity of the system to specular reflections off of such materials as transparent glass or plastic is highly sensitive to the angle of incidence and reflection at least in one plane. In this case, the width of the fan-shaped scan beam 32 which is incident on the test tube 12 at various vertical locations corresponding to the height of the label means that the reflections from this beam at dead center of the test tube will be at 90� in one plane but vary somewhat above and below 90� in the horizontal plane due to the spread of the scan beam. It is an aspect of this preferred embodiment of the invention that it is only the reflections that are normal to the test tube object in one plane, in this instance, being the vertical plane that are critical and thus the angle of acceptance β need only be selective in the horizontal plane to discriminate against reflections such as 40'a that deviate away from the plane of the scan beam 32. This is illustrated also in the side elevation view of FIG. 2 which shows that the object specular reflection 40' off of the test tube 12 is not necessarily coincident with the scan beam 32 in all of the orientations of its sweep. However, the specular reflection 40' off of the dead center position of the object 12 will lie within the same vertical plane as the sweep of beam 32.
With reference to FIG. 5, a block diagram view illustrates the basic operating blocks of the object detection system. Thus, assembly 50 receives reflected light from an object, if any, filters it in optical filter 68 to selectively enhance the specular frequencies at λ0. This operation further accentuates the wanted reflections that are within the optical acceptance angle β by limited view acceptance lens 66. Thereafter the resulting specular light energy is impingent on a photo detector and signal filter 69. The output from photo detector and signal filter 69 is passed on to a rectifier, sample and hold and low frequency A to D converter circuit that forms the object detection processing circuit 52. The digital output therefrom is fed to a microcomputer 48 which performs stored programmed operations on the digital signal to determine the presence or absence of the object, in coordination with the bar code detection and reading operations when the object is present with a bar code label.
In FIG. 6a, the photo detector and signal filter 69 is shown to include a solid state photo detector 80 connected across the input of an operational amplifier 82 and input and feedback high frequency RC filter networks 84 and 86, respectively, to filter out unwanted frequencies above the scan frequency representing object reflections 40'. An output of photo detector and signal filter 69 is applied to a diode rectification circuit 90 shown in the embodiment FIG. 6a as back-to-back diodes 91 and 92 connected to a supply voltage through resistor 93. An output of the rectifier circuit 90 is applied across a parallel resistive capacitive sample and hold circuit 95 here formed by resistor 96 and capacitor 97. An output buffer 98 transforms the output signal to a level and polarity suitable for analog to digital conversion by an A to D convertor shown generally at 52 in FIG. 5, which in turn is applied to a digital data bus of microcomputer 48 as also indicated in FIG. 5.
In certain applications involving low reflectance objects located at a distance from scanner 20, the alternative rectifier circuit of FIG. 6b is preferred to avoid an unwanted leakage current offset in the rectifier circuit 90 that may occur in the embodiment shown in FIG. 6a. Thus in FIG. 6b, an operational amplifier 100 receives at an input the signal from photo detector and signal filter 69 which is rectified by a diode rectifier 100 connected in feedback around operational amplifier 100 and applied to a voltage divider resistance network 104 that develops an output voltage at terminal 106 that in turn is applied to the sample and hold circuit 95 of FIG. 6a. Lower reflectance objects and objects at a distance are more readily detected by the alternative rectifier circuit of FIG. 6b, but at the expense of causing the full peak signal level of a single reflection pulse to be passed onto the sample and hold circuit, whereas the rectifier circuit 90 of FIG. 6a has a linear charge time constant that attenuates the peak value of the individual reflection pulses detected at detector and filter 69.
FIGS. 7a and 7b are diagrams showing the charge current of reflection scan pulses in FIG. 7a that charge the sample and hold capacitor 97 of circuit 95. FIG. 7b is a wave form diagram showing the effect of the fluctuating charge current signal of FIG. 7a as a charge is accumulated on the hold capacitor 97 during a repetitive scan of the object as its dead center scan position. Thus an input charging signal 110 causes a sample hold signal 112 to build up on the capacitor through a series of scan events and resulting object reflection pulses until the held signal 112 approaches a maximum value indicated at 114 which can be evaluated in the programmed microcomputer 48 to verify that indeed an object such as a transparent glass, ceramic or plastic test tube is present in the scanners field of view. FIGS. 8a and 8b set forth the signal processing of microcomputer 48 to detect the presence or absence of an object and output the corresponding information for immediate use or storage as a function of the automated bar code reading and inventory control of the pharmaceutical preparations. In FIG. 8a, a flow chart is shown for the overall bar code scanning, label analysis and object detection. The present invention is concerned with the detection of the object in the environment of a scanner decoding operation. The label reading and decoding operations are known such as described in the above mentioned U.S. Pat. No. 5,239,169 and are not further detailed in this description. Thus in FIG. 8a, the programmed microcomputer 48 commences with a start command 200 in preparation for and awaiting a trigger event 202 that initiates the scanning operation. A scan operation shown generally as block 204 in the flow chart of FIG. 8a, performs a series of operations explained in more detail in connection with the scan flow chart of FIG. 8b below. Following the scan operation of block 204, the microcomputer at 206 determines whether the scanner has successfully decoded a label on the object and if yes, the task is completed and the flow passes to the done block 208. If the scanner has not successfully decoded a label, a no decision from block 206 passes the program flow to another decision block 210 that checks for the scanner sensor status being enabled. If the sensor status is not enabled, a no decision generates an instruction causing scanner to output no read message at block 212 and the program terminates at done block 208. Normally the sensor status will be enabled and a yes decision from block 210 passes the flow to a further decision block 214 that checks for the number of transitions in the label to determine whether they are outside a user defined value. That is if there are too many transitions in the bar code indicating a faulty label read, then the output from block 214 causes an instruction that outputs a bad label message indicated at block 216 and the program terminates at done block 208. If the number of transitions in the read or scanned label are within a user defined value, then the flow proceeds to a further decision block checking for reflectance greater than a user defined threshold in block 218. Again if the system determines that the signal is outside a user defined value, that is a reflectance greater than a defined threshold expected for reflections from a paper label, then the system causes an instruction block 220 to output a no label message when this particular section of the microcomputer program has been enabled during a set up procedure. After completing the output at block 220, the flow proceeds to done block 208. If the reflectance value as determined in decision block 218 is below a user defined threshold level, a no output instructs block 222 to generate a no object message signifying that the system has determined that the reflectance from a scan location at which an object should be present has failed to reach the threshold illustrated by level 64 in FIG. 3b, hence detecting the absence of an object, namely a test tube 12.
In the scan operation of block 204, as illustrated in FIG. 8b, each trigger event causes an instruction block 230 to wait for a new scan sync from scanner 20. One scan sync occurs as known per se at each sweep of the laser diode beam by one facet 30 of mirror 22. Following a wait interval allowing for the next scan sync at block 230, the flow proceeds to instruction block 232 that tells the microcomputer 48 to read the digital input from the A to D convertor of object detection processing circuit 52 as shown in FIG. 5. The read A to D converted data is then checked in a decision block 234 for an A to D value greater than a prior maximum value which has been stored according to instruction block 236 at the yes output of decision block 234. When the scanner first begins to sweep across an object moving into dead center position as shown in FIG. 4a, the maximum value detected by decision block 234 and stored or saved in instruction block 236 is an increasing maximum value and there will be a sequence of yes outputs from block 234 with successive storing of this maximum as the value is building up in the wave form diagram shown in FIG. 7b when an object is present. Thus the output of instruction block 236 returns the flow of the program sequence to an end of read cycle decision block 240 which causes the program flow to continue and loop back to wait for new scan sync at 230 so that the process will be continued for each successive sweep or scan of the object holding position such as on moving test tube rack 14. This process continues until the end of the read cycle as determined by decision block 240. Where the A to D converted value as determined by block 234 is not greater than the previously stored maximum, then the no output from block 234 passes the flow to a less than minimum decision block 242 which performs a similar operation on a previous minimum stored according to instruction block 244 as indicated. As a result of repetitive scans each prompted by a new scan sync from block 230, the maximum and minimum values for each read cycle are stored in memory by instruction blocks 236 and 244. It is these stored minimum and maximum values that are then evaluated by decision block 218. If the stored maximum value resulting from instruction block 236 in FIG. 8b is above the threshold value indicating that an object of the type anticipated, such as a glass or plastic test tube, is present in one of the holding positions of rack 16, then the program of FIG. 8a in the microcomputer instructs decision block 220 to output a no label present message indicating that the object is present but has no label. If the decision block 218 determines that the value is less than the threshold which would be represented by the minimum value stored according to instruction block 244 of FIG. 8b, then the output from block 218 in FIG. 8a causes instruction block 220 to output the no object message indicating no object, or in this case no test tube present in the corresponding holder location of moving rack 14.
While only particular embodiments have been disclosed herein, it will be readily apparent to persons skilled in the art that numerous changes and modifications can be made thereto, including the use of equivalent means, devices, and method steps without departing from the spirit of the invention.

Geoex also has relevant experience in Red Lake and was retained by Gold Eagle Mines Ltd. in 2008 to prepare an estimate of the geological potential of the Bruce Channel gold deposit. Gold Eagle Mines Ltd. was subsequently acquired by Goldcorp Inc. in late 2008."Since discovering the F2 Gold System in 2008, our approach has been to aggressively explore in order to test what we believe to be a large gold mineralizing system. This initial resource will allow us to evaluate the success of that program in areas where sufficient drilling has being carried out and also to assess further gold potential of other parts of the F2 Gold System. Our underground development is advancing on schedule, and our first cross cut is in progress, guided by ongoing delineation drilling." stated David Adamson, President and CEO.Rubicon Minerals Corporation ("Rubicon") is a well-funded exploration and development company, focused on exploring and developing its high-grade gold discovery at its Phoenix Gold project in Red Lake, Ontario. Rubicon controls over 65,000 acres of prime exploration ground in the prolific Red Lake gold district of Ontario which hosts Goldcorp's high-grade, world class Red Lake Gold Mine. In addition to its Red Lake holdings, Rubicon also controls over 380,000 acres surrounding the Pogo Mine in Alaska as well as 225,000 acres in northeast Nevada.RUBICON MINERALS CORPORATION"David W.

Staff were very welcoming and accommodating.Posted Mar 28, 2015
Pros: The staff.
Cons: The room could have been cleaned a little better. Our wine was left in the glass and the glassnot cleaned, a water bottle was left almost gone.
Location: Good table was a new ce restaurant down the street and Portland is close by.
We were very happy with our room. We had stayed there 22 years and it had changed quite a bit by adding a lounge and dining room. Because of the snow I was unable to walk to the ocean but it was beautiful to look at.

A Quaint GetawayPosted Apr 13, 2014
Pros: There are fewer rooms than you'd expect, as many are larger suites for families. They are spread out well, and the halls are nice and quiet.
Cons: The restaurant wasn't the greatest, and I wish we had skipped breakfast there. Dinner was tasty, but forgettable.
Location: The Portland Head Light (lighthouse) is only 5 minutes away, and makes for an amazing sunset. There's a nearby coffee shop, and scenic driving.
The hotel is quaint; just a short walk to the ocean on their boardwalk. A small restaurant with decent food. Relatively quiet, and in a peaceful location. This isn't a huge resort, but they do have a professional staff and that classic New England Luxury. There is a spa, outdoor pool, fire pits, bar, and a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Overpriced motel, 2* property with a 5* price tagPosted Sep 10, 2012
Pros: The view from my rear view mirror
Cons: Tiny bedroom with nowhere to put anything
Location: Close to public beach
This hotel hasn't been cleaned in months. The rooms had cobwebs in the corners, broken shower heads, missing light bulbs, dirty fridge, no air conditioning in the bedrooms and tiny cramped rooms. We were staying in one the cottages and they look nothing like the glossy photographs on the website. The service was terrible to nonexistent. The hotel is run by college students on their summer vacation that looked like they were severely hung over. Each evening the staff would deliver some cookies and then leave the door to the cottage unlocked while we were out so that my wife had to check that none of her jewelry had gone missing when we returned. There is a reason for the Brunch Menu. You had to wait 10 minutes to be greeted at breakfast to be told there is a 30 minute wait for a table. Once you got a table the food was a further 45 minutes to arrive. So a 9am breakfast finished at 11am. We had to constantly find our server for a round of drinks or get water for our table. Whatever you do don't try and get a drink after 11pm as the bar closes. I would not recommend staying here as it is definitely not a five star hotel and the staff will leave you far from relaxed. The Beach is public and part of the nature reserve so stay somewhere else and save your money for something worthwhile and far more enjoyable.

Good but OverpricedPosted Aug 12, 2012
Nice place albeit a bit boring Overpriced for what delivers though
for Couplesby Doug from Phoenix, AZ
A good ExperiencePosted Jan 22, 2012
Pros: The food, location and the staff
Cons: Tbe creaks
Location: 100 yeards from the beach...
A good hotel - Great location - and a very good restaurant. Our suite was on the first floor - and when people were in the room above - it was very noisy, I beleive that the structure of the hotel must be old - and so it just creaks! But the staff were fantastic - and even ensured no one was in the room above us after the first night! We loved the food... It was a good experience,,

This is a hotel where all of the details are seen to very carefully. Charming.Posted Mar 24, 2011
My visit was early week when most hotels give lip-service to weekend expectations. Not this Inn. Hors d'oevres came with the ice delivered to the room. There was a turn-down service offered along with bottled water and cookies (free). The diningroom food was superb with wine-by-the glass offered along with the wine bottle being shown. And, the stemware was Riedel. The food perfectly cooked. A full breakfast came with the room, again with the food (Eggs Benedict) being perfectly served. The staff was superb, always addressing me by name and always very politely. If there was a problem, it was the tastefulness of the room appointments. Otherwise, it was an astonishing stay.

After last week we presented a Bedroom Designs and Room Ideas for Modern Teens today here is another inspirational post with bedroom ideas. Today theme is modern and minimalist bedrooms. This look usually has a mixture of simple furniture and those out-of-this-world artistically designed pieces. In modern bedrooms, the bed is usually the one that stands out. The modern style usually makes of platform beds. This kind of bed is the newest rage in bedroom design. The minimalist approach to bedroom interior design is all about clearing the clutter and reducing the elements of bedroom down to the bare essentials whilst at the same time retaining an aesthetically pleasing appearance in a room.

i truly love this style of room, although i am a type of person who my friend describe as a truly messy girl when it comes to houses or rooms. I've taken an interest in interior design for quite sometime and i've just started to focus on minimalist, not just because its modern and 'popular' nowadays, but because the certain things we just need is the focus of the room, if it's an office or a berrom wherever it gives out the sense of peace and calm to you.
All beautiful
Your choices are truly remarkable and
its amazing,thanks for ur photos
Hi all, I love the images above, it's exactly the kind of design I'm looking for, but I'm on a teeny budget of £1.5k for the bed, mattress, drawers and wardrobe (first house and moneys tight!) I loved the look of the bedrooms on this site also: http://www.ergoflex.co.uk/gallery.php I know this is a site showing high design but I'm trying to replicate the look as much as possible for my bedroom and would be so thankful if anyone in the know can maybe recommend a good retailer where I can pick up a decent bargain or two with good design ethic?
Any advice welcome!
[…] Minimalist Bedroom Interior Design Ideas […]
Your post is good and I will come here for another time!
Hello there partners, I have lastly move on to my personal brand-new apartment. We have got it from an old lady so it necessities refreshing some stuff. Immediately after repainting We've commenced to refurnish complete place and right now I've problem. The query is: drapes, curtains or blinds for my windows ? Most blinds are created from plastic, the hard woody stems of bamboo plants or metallic elements. Hence blinds are quite flexible and could be acquired in a broad assortment of colors and designs. So I feel this could be very good for any flat of young guy like me. I am 26 years old. But on the other hand, in contract curtains are much much less sturdy than blinds seeing that curtains are frequently produced from normal or synthetic fibers. I'm far away from hiring interior decorator so I am asking you, perhaps some of you could give me some points or usage example of blinds and curtains in contemporary design flats ? Some ideas ?
[…] the other thing you need to think about besides to furniture is the lighting. Settings in the minimalist bedroom lighting will play a major role for the comfort and beauty in your bedroom. Today there are so many […]

The Truth Behind the Lies
Welcome to Bakers Delight Lies.
This is the third website set up by former Bakers Delight franchisees to caution potential investors about the traps and risks of franchising.
We endeavour to expose the truth behind the lies and hope that our experiences prevent others from encountering the torment and anguish that some franchisors inflict on their franchisees.
All opinions expressed are provided in good faith and are formed from our experiences and the experiences of other former franchisees. We have regular contact with existing franchisees who are struggling to hold on to their investment, and believe they are trapped.
Information provided is from reliable sources and include articles from the two websites that Baker Delight have successfully shut down.
Over the last few weeks there have been some interesting developments including an attempt by Bakers Delight Holdings to thwart the development of this website. We look forward to writing about these in the coming days.
Bakers Delight Lies mark 3
Franchising Snapshots
If you have bought into a franchise system and lost your money, home or sanity, we want to hear from You. Please let us know which franchise system and how much money you lost. We want to get the truth about Australia's franchise systems out into the open. You may remain anomymous if you wish. Please place your snapshot in the link below.
Anon 2015.4.3 18:34
Can confirm these stories are true. Worked for Bakers Delight for two years.
The franchisee was the biggest stingy **** you would ever see. Didn't replace a broken rounder for three months (i.e. having to hand mould EVERY roll.) made ridicilous production sizes and abused us if we couldn't do all the work in LESS than 8 hours.
Very abusive owner. Would not work for BD again nor even buy a franchise for that matter.

Force India tell drivers to cut out the crashes
Apr 15, 2013, 10:44 AM EDT
Paul di Resta and Adrian Sutil have been warned not to repeat the first-lap collision they had in the Chinese Grand Prix.
Deputy team principal Bob Fernley said: "It's not really what we need to be doing on the first lap."
Di Resta clipped the back of his team mate's car at the exit of the turn 14 hairpin and ran wide onto the grass, losing several places.
Fernley said his drivers should give each other more space: "I suspect that Adrian got catapulted off the curb, something like that happened so he didn't give Paul enough room there."
It's not the first time Force India's drivers have compromised each other at the start. In Abu Dhabi last year Di Resta collided with then-team mate Nico Hulkenberg at the first corner, putting the latter out of the race.
Sutil retired soon after but Di Resta recovered to finish seventh and give Force India their first points in Shanghai. Fernley said that without the contact they might have finished in front of fifth-place Jenson Button.
Di Resta said the collision meant he spent more time stuck in traffic. I was battling with Nico on the opening lap, but unfortunately there was some contact with Adrian down at the hairpin, which put me on the grass and set us back three or four places."
"After that I was stuck in the pack, my tires were graining, and I couldn't really make much progress. It wasn't until the third stint that I was in some clean air and the pace of the car was very strong."
Force India have previously taken steps to prevent on-track incidents. Di Resta was told not to overtake Sutil in the closing stages of the Australian Grand Prix.
- ditto65 - Apr 15, 2013 at 11:33 AM
That is pretty good policy to enforce. I wonder if they also tell them to drive really, really fast, and turn precisely when necessary.
- apexassassin - Apr 15, 2013 at 1:00 PM
Conspriracy! PDR is getting special treatment!
Does anyone outside of India give a rats ass about this team? Aside from wondering who the next owner will be, of course?
- techmeister1 - Apr 18, 2013 at 1:07 AM
Force India has no money to build or repair their cars so it is important not to crash what they have left. I expect the team to fold soon, perhaps by mid-season unless they start printing money. That might not be out of character considering the issues that Mallya has experienced in recent years.

That other religious gathering, Comiccon, came and went in New York City this weekend. Best Week Ever was there, and we'll have video footage of all of the fun as soon as we get out of our storm trooper outfits.
In the meantime, look at how prosh this father and son couple is. All that black leather would be incredibly intimidating, if it wasn't for the fact that he's been forced to carry his wife' purse.
Also this weekend, I had one of my best celebrity experiences of my life (albeit not at ComicCon): I randomly met Doug Jones, i.e. "Hand Eyes" from Pan's Labyrinth! He was an absolute doll, albeit a lovely one and not one who has, once again, eyes in his hands. Needless to say, I had to remind myself the next morning that this actually happened, and wasn't some awesome result of eating acid-laced jalepeno poppers. It was weird though when on Sunday, back at ComicCon, someone handed me a mask of Mr. Jones' face… albeit as his character Abe Sapien in Hellboy. Anyway, this was too good not to share!

A sheriff's office official said the roadway would be cleared soon.
The sheriff's office was called about the crash at 4:48 p.m.

Some have suggested Friday's sentencing of former Hinds County Circuit Judge Bobby DeLaughter marks the end of the judicial bribery scandal involving disbarred litigator Dickie Scruggs.
So far, the biggest judicial bribery scandal in Mississippi history has led to seven convictions, including Scruggs, who is now serving seven years in prison.
"We're continuing to investigate," remarked Assistant U.S. Attorney Bob Norman of Oxford, who would not comment further. ...

The owner of a Corona del Mar pet shop has withdrawn a harassment claim against an animal rights protester but faces more than $5,000 in legal fees because of a SLAPP motion, according to online court records and the woman's attorney.
Brooke Bradford filed for a temporary restraining order against Carole Davis on July 22 after a confrontation between the two women inside the I Heart Puppies shop at 2801 East Coast Highway. She later consulted with an attorney, and they decided to drop the case because there had been no other incidents, said the lawyer, Richard Feld.

He meant that people all from the start
Each have 'slaves' within their hearts:
Things that we have sold or bought
That are forced to pick our moral cotton
from Bo Burnham – Rant Lyrics on Genius
Bo is satirically offering a metaphorical interpretation of the way the Bible condones slavery. Christian apologists often employ metaphorical interpretations of the morally questionable parts of the Bible in order to justify their assertions about its infallibility. Bo is doing this about the slavery-condoning passage in the Bible so he can mock this interpretation in the next verse by pointing out that the Bible even goes so far as to explain the logistics of the slave trade
The metaphorical interpretation of "slaves" within our hearts is extended through the next two lines, first by mentioning selling and buying, and then mentioning "moral cotton." (After the invention of the cotton gin, cotton was the principal crop of the American south, where the slave trade was most lively in the Antebellum era. Slaves often had to pick cotton.)

Beyond everybody's favorite bikes, trains and video games, each Toys"R"Us store keeps its shelves stocked with the season's must-have toys as well as nostalgic standbys that never go out of style. Time-tested brands such as LEGO, Radio Flyer, NERF and Fisher-Price share the shelves with an expansive selection of electronics for older kids, including Wii U and tablets. And though the company has inspired generations of boys and girls to try their hardest not to grow up, it also strives to ensure budding brains develop right on track by devoting a significant portion of its stores to "smart-play" with a wide selection of electronic learning toys and software.

|Chronicles the rise and fall of pop king michael jackson.
Editor's NoteThis made-for-television movie stars Fay Alexander as pop icon and muse for the tabloid press, Michael Jackson. From his turbulent upbringing and early success as the star of the Jackson Five, to his wildly successful career as a solo artist in the 1980s, through the scandals that have overshadowed his music career throughout the late 1990s and into the 21st century, Jackson has lived up to his title of "entertainer" by maintaining the public's interest. Covering all the topics that come to mind when one thinks of this superstar, MAN IN THE MIRROR is careful not to choose sides, maintaining an objective, humorous perspective on a personal life that became public drama. When THRILLER was released in 1982, Jackson was at the height of his musical career, recognized for his undeniable talent and infectious stage persona. Winning over fans worldwide with his now-famous "moonwalk," Jackson quickly became a true pop icon. Upon entering middle age, Jackson was no less famous, but was discussed more in terms of allegations concerning plastic surgery and child abuse than for his actual music. However, one thing is for sure--whether it's through his music, or with the page-six frenzy that surrounds him, Jackson has always commanded the world's fullest attention.
