Version 2.6 of the ArduCopter code is now available in the AP Mission Planner and in the downloads area!
Updates to MavLink 1.0 means you will need to use "ArdupilotMegaPlanner10.exe" to connect. If you've updated your mission planner recently you should find this executable in the directory where the mission planner is installed.
The above video is done using a prototype 3dr ublox GPS which seems to have better accuracy than the standard mediatek.
Improvements over 2.5.5 include:
- MavLink 1.0 support (use with ArdupilotMegaPlanner10.exe) [Tridge, Craig]
- Stability improvements especially during level hover [Jason]
- throttle range improvement (higher min and max) [Jason]
- improved standard Loiter PIDs [Alan, Heino, Jason, Angel]
- dataflash erase speed up ('+' messages removed but it only takes 6 seconds now) [Tridge]
- Copter LEDs [Robert Lefebvre]
- RTL loiter stage target set to home to improve final landing position [Jason]
- flip & acro improvements [Jason]
- circle mode target improvement for ground station [Jason]
- Auto Approach [Adam Rivera / Marco]
Bug fixes include:
- UBLOX driver fixes (lock should now be more reliable) [Tridge]
- enable mavlink messages during dataflash erase which resolves issue in which new APMs fresh from the factory appeared unresponsive [Tridge]
- proper printing of lat/lon values in dataflash logs [Randy]
- removed duplicate GPS reads [Jason]
- resolve flooding of telemetry link with low-battery warnings [Tridge]
- RTL bug would land if rtl_approach_alt was more than 1 [Jason]
- WP Radius could not be set larger than 1.3m [Jason/Randy]
PIDs are optimised for the 3DR/Jdrones quad with 850 motors and 10" props. If you're using more powerful motors/props and are seeing bad flight behaviour in stabilize, start by turning down Rate Roll P in 25% steps.
This time we spent some time optimising the loiter PIDs. Tuning loiter can be tricky so please refer to the discussions which will appear below for more community feedback on what parameters work best.
All feedback welcome below. Enhancement requests and bug reports can be put into the arducopter issues list. When possible please include logs (tlog and/or dataflash) and tell us whether you're using APM1 or APM2 and what version of the software you're using (presumably 2.6 but tell us anyway!).
Happy flying!
Also, I believe Auto Approach is new in this release as well (courtesy of Marco and myself).
Oops! sorry about that. Added above!
Courtesy of you, Adam... thanks! :-)
I have ublox GPS; but how do I connect to a APM 2 which already has a GPS on it....
I am hoping to get the same accuracy of the demo videos done by randy
hermanthtguru: see http://diydrones.com/forum/topics/jumper-s-for-apm2-onboard-gps
where can find description about Auto Approach; or can some explain it here
No one seems to be answering, so I'll do my best...
From what I can find it is to do an automatic approach to a specific height before a manual landing.
Hope this helps ... The code sets the designated approach altitude. It tests to be certain that we're not below the target approach altitude, otherwise it just loiters. It heads for the designed approach altitude while holding the current waypoint location. There are a few other sanity checks. You can review the code here for yourself to interpret what happens:
static void do_approach()
// Set a contrained value to EEPROM
g.rtl_approach_alt.set(constrain((float)g.rtl_approach_alt, 1.0, 10.0));
// Get the target_alt in cm
uint16_t target_alt = (uint16_t)(g.rtl_approach_alt * 100);
// Make sure we are not using this to land and that we are currently above the target approach alt
if(g.rtl_approach_alt >= 1 && current_loc.alt > target_alt){
wp_control = LOITER_MODE;
// just to make sure
land_complete = false;
// landing boost lowers the main throttle to mimmick
// the effect of a user's hand
landing_boost = 0;
// A counter that goes up if our climb rate stalls out.
ground_detector = 0;
// hold at our current location
// Set target alt based on user setting
} else {
If you've got a good approach alt set, and a loiter timer set, then you'll be interested in this bit from ArduCopter.pde.
if(loiter_timer != 0){
// If we have a safe approach alt set and we have been loitering for 20 seconds(default), begin approach
if(g.rtl_approach_alt >= 1 && (millis() - loiter_timer) > (RTL_APPROACH_DELAY * 1000)){
// just to make sure we clear the timer
loiter_timer = 0;
// Kick us out of loiter and begin landing if the loiter_timer is set
else if((millis() - loiter_timer) > (uint32_t)g.auto_land_timeout.get())
// just to make sure we clear the timer
loiter_timer = 0;
Mike: Thanks for picking up the slack here. This code has changed a bit in trunk since 2.6, but the functionality is the same. The loiter_timer var gets set automatically after a successful RTL. loiter_timer is not user defined. All the user needs is an APPROACH_ALT defined and it will descend to that altitude after the RTL has completed.
Derek: Sorry about that. I will be documenting it in the Wiki after our next minor release. The auto approach code has changed since this release, but the functionality remains the same. The idea is that if you have an approach altitude set between 1 and 10 meters, the copter will descend to that altitude after RTL instead of landing. This was added because some people do not trust auto landing on their bigger copters or for expensive AV equipment. I hope that helps!
yeah! soldering and testing boards for customers right now! this will be a lucky one!
pushing 2.6 on this one for tests! happy!!!
Will try to give it a flight test this weekend and report here as usual.

Air Hauler for X-Plane: Epilogue

Hi folks,So hows things going with AVSIM Hard Case Hauling at this point?If you remember from the piece we just reached the 49.5 rep mark. After finally reaching the summit of 50 rep points I went ahead and flogged the C172, opened a second base at CYPR (Prince Rupert-ILS and NDB...good stuff), and went ahead and leased a Saratoga for a bigger cargo bay, more speed, and a lovely cockpit thanks to Carenado.Sounds pretty good right? It seemed a great idea as I flew for the first time from CYPW up the coast to CYPR collecting a high value fee and enjoying the new facilities.Small problem.Icing. IFR is no issue beyond the technical challenge but moving just the 300-odd miles north opens up a big can of weather related whoopass. And X-Plane seems to model this rather well-unfortunately for me.Its really REALLY bad news. Taking off out of CYPR on another job my ceilings were forecast for 7000 or so and 10 miles visibility.Getting ready to roll from Prince Rupert[attachment=35394:Ready to roll CYPR.JPG]So I'm climbing out following my flight plan to Bella Bella Denny Island (CYJQ-apparently in sore need of a booze shipment for the holidays) and monitoring UNICOM on VATSIM when suddenly I wind up in this:[attachment=35395:Uh oh.JPG]No problem right? I have instruments and was filed IFR anyway. As I passed FL050 I noticed I was losing engine power and the aircraft starting pitching drastically nose up followed by a stall. I was in big trouble folks. I managed to get control back at around 1500' or so and the plane seemed to have regained power and stability. I then looked out the window to see this:[attachment=35396:Quarter mile viz.JPG]Yeah pretty low to the ground. I spent the next hour at around 1100' snaking my way around the offshore islands tracking the MS NDB as best I could until 30 miles north of my destination I popped out of the muck into sunshine.Air Hauler provides no forgiveness to an unwise company owner that does not take the abilities of his aircraft into account when choosing where to base! I do not have the cash to lease a different icing-equipped aircraft so essentially I am restricted during the winter months with the Saratoga to mainly clear sky flight.Other options may include leasing a bush Husky with skis and reducing the job range to short range VFR until I can build the capital to pick up a Caravan, Twin Otter, or PC-12/47 that can handle these dreadful conditions.So thats where I stand at the moment.Hope you folks enjoyed the article and should you be flying Air Hauler please feel free to leave a note with your experiences here.Cheers and happy flying!Tedp.s. I'll update this at some point down the road.

With all the hoopla surrounding the recent release of XPX the current X-Planev9.7 is being somewhat....neglected...out of hand (for a lack of better term) which is a real shame as it has-and will continue to have a lot to offer for sim pilots.The stock weather, clouds, and effects are pretty good as you have seen. Here is another recent image on approach to the Yellowknife area:[attachment=35468:FL070 banking over Great Slave Lake.JPG]Now I have just added REXPlane to the mix and last night grabbed this shot while setting up a couple initial themes. These are the HD cloudsets:[attachment=35469:REXPlane test.JPG]Pretty cool right? As usual the folks at Real Environment Xtreme blow me away!Now in all fairness FSX with REX is certainly no slouch:[attachment=35470:Picking my way.JPG] [attachment=35471:MVFR.JPG]But as far as actually "feeling" the weather in lighter aircraft as well as experiencing icing XP9.7 gives a pretty potent ride. Despite the rather extreme weather shown in the FSX Twin Otter image the plane was not really bouncing around as you would expect between the weather and winds howling off the rocks (yeah I blew the weather forecast on that hop lol) and the effects of icing appeared negligible. Same thing in X-Plane and I would more than likely be reaching for a barf bag Side note-I love the Twin Otter....it's like flying Ft Knox.....safe as houses! Aerosoft guys are you listening? Port this sucker over to XP and make it good please! I have seen WIP images of a beauty from another developer too...so lets see 'em already.Anyway....I have burbled enough about the weather for today. Give the XP version of Air Hauler a shot and enjoy the roller coaster!CheersTedp.s. Yes I like my skies vivid, exciting, and filled with color. I can see drab "ultra-realistic snotty gray" simply looking out my Lincolnshire window. When I was visiting my family near Miami last month I could not get enough of the sky colors and clouds...and the heat. If you will pardon me I'm off to hibernate now **edit**I should mention that I am using the Clear Skies plug-in. I set it to 40km which prevents that wierd FPS-saving fog rolling in on systems that can handle the draw distance (my system and settings have no problems). It is excellent and well suited for the aircraft I prefer to fly.Now in a jet within XP the 40km distance can sometimes look a bit odd from on high....flying in a fishbowl I guess. But within FSX the same issue arises when the cloud draw range is reduced to improve performance and you get the 60nm reverse cloud fishbowl effect. Chutes, ladders, and compromises!Pretty interesting. This actually renewed my interest in X-Plane! I love the looks of those weather effects, I must say...

When Miami native Aaron Lebos was a kid, his parents told him to choose between violin and piano. "I chose piano," he says, "obviously." But his big brother played electric guitar, and he wanted to too. He thought it was "cooler." Eventually, he got his hands on a guitar of his own and made his way through jazz studies programs at Miami Dade College, University of Miami and FIU.
As a child, Aaron Lebos was given a choice of two musical instruments: piano or violin. He chose the piano and spent the next six years dedicated to the instrument, winning five state-wide competitions.
But at the age of 11, he picked up the guitar.
More than a decade later he's still strumming it.
You can hear Aaron's music in this week's WLRN story "Piñata," a work of fiction by Jeremy Glazer. You can listen to "Rita" and "Pravda" below:

John 20:1-10 is a precious glimpse into a most plausible historical scenario as to what happened after Jesus' death, and why the temporary tomb into which Jesus was placed was indeed empty, before the various theological presentations involving "sightings" of Jesus began to accrue to the story.
These fictional men and women, who wear inappropriately tight-fitting spandex costumes and only exist in our imaginations, bring hope to millions of real people on a daily basis, and have become an integral part of American cultural life and identity.
It's official: the end of the Easter season. Pretty soon, in fact, the church will settle in for a long summer of what it calls ordinary time. But not yet.
(This article is published in "The Louisiana Weekly" in the May 13, 2013 edition.) Ground breaking for Magnolia Marketplace--a two-story mall on ...
So, what exactly do Egyptians say for Easter greetings? Christians tell each other "`Ied Qiyama Magid," "Happy Feast of the Resurrection." But all Egyptians can wish each other: "Kulle sanna wa enta tayyeb." May you be well every year!
The Resurrection challenges us to reflect on where we most deeply experience hostility and disunity. Images of this reality abound: Within the space of only a few weeks, in America alone, we have painfully witnessed the loss of children to gun violence, the loss of life to religious radicalism and the loss of residents to a plant explosion.
It will definitely be a lean Easter! But what is Easter for us Greek Orthodox?
In the Orthodox Church, the Saturday before Palm Sunday is set aside to remember the raising of Lazarus from the tomb. Orthodox Christians around the world have joined in prayer that the two bishops kidnapped will be released from their tomb as well. There has been enough weeping.
In spite of recent developments and whatever new developments may come to light, the purpose for Christians remains. We must not grow fearful or suspicious of our neighbors; Jesus gives us the soul force to love our neighbors.
Holy Week is not a celebration of long ago events. It is the reliving of Christ's Passion and Resurrection in the present.
The final week in Jesus' life included especially great depths and heights: He faced a dark night of the soul in Gethsemane, a torturous cross and, ultimately, a glorious resurrection. Identifying with Jesus in His journey keeps us focused and faithful in ours.
Walter Brueggemann on Lent, Good Friday, Easter and the "shutdown" of the way it used to be: an invitation to neighborliness and newness.
I am increasingly convinced that there are three kinds of churches and that these three church types exist across denominations and worship styles, from small churches to megachurches, in rural and urban settings alike.
"The app says kissing is a form of sexual activity and that's an exercise," I countered. "By the way, if we ramp it up to 'active, vigorous sex' for three hours, we will burn 514 calories."
We can turn the darkness around us in the brightness of noon, as the Prophet Isaiah said, if we live out the core principles of compassion and peace that are shared by the world's great religions.
On Friday I attended an exhibit opening for a young artist who has schizophrenia. If only President Obama could have attended, because events like these would go a long way toward decreasing the stigma surrounding those with mental illness.

Although the state has offered the school tax break for years, New York's Department of Taxation and Finance last year found that thousands of individuals with multiple properties were receiving more than one STAR exemption.
The new registration is designed to stop that practice.
The governor's office said more than 90 percent of those who have registered completed their registration on the Tax Department's website: www.tax.ny.gov.
Homeowners with annual incomes under $500,000 can register at www.tax.ny.gov or they can call 518-457-2036.
The registration deadline is Dec. 31.
Basic STAR exemptions save New York homeowners $700 every year on average.

Ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone is a combination drug that contains female hormones that prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary). This medication also causes changes in your cervical mucus and uterine lining, making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus and harder for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus.
Ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone is used as contraception to prevent pregnancy.
Ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Do not use birth control pills if you are pregnant or if you have recently had a baby.
You should not take birth control pills if you have any of the following conditions: uncontrolled high blood pressure, heart disease, a blood-clotting disorder, circulation problems, diabetic problems with your eyes or kidneys, unusual vaginal bleeding, liver disease or liver cancer, severe migraine headaches, if you smoke and are over 35, or if you have ever had breast or uterine cancer, jaundice caused by birth control pills, a heart attack, a stroke, or a blood clot.
You may need to use back up birth control, such as condoms or a spermicide, when you first start using this medication or if you miss a dose. Follow your doctor's instructions.
Missing a pill increases your risk of becoming pregnant. Carefully follow the "missed dose" instructions if you forget to take your birth control pills.
Some drugs can make birth control pills less effective in preventing pregnancy, including antibiotics, hepatitis C medications, HIV/AIDS medications, seizure medications, or barbiturate sedatives. Tell your doctor about all other medications you use.
This medication can cause birth defects. Do not use if you are pregnant. Tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant, or if you miss two menstrual periods in a row. If you have recently had a baby, wait at least 4 weeks before taking birth control pills.
You should not take birth control pills if you have:
untreated or uncontrolled high blood pressure;
heart disease (coronary artery disease, uncontrolled heart valve disorder, history of heart attack, stroke, or blood clot);
a blood-clotting disorder or circulation problems;
problems with your eyes, kidneys or circulation caused by diabetes;
a history of hormone-related cancer such as breast or uterine cancer;
unusual vaginal bleeding that has not been checked by a doctor;
liver disease or liver cancer;
severe migraine headaches (with aura, numbness, weakness, or vision changes), especially if you are older than 35;
a history of jaundice caused by pregnancy or birth control pills; or
if you smoke and are over 35 years old.
To make sure you can safely take birth control pills, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:
high blood pressure, varicose veins;
high cholesterol or triglycerides, or if you are overweight;
a history of depression;
underactive thyroid;
gallbladder disease;
seizures or epilepsy;
a history of irregular menstrual cycles;
tuberculosis; or
a history of fibrocystic breast disease, lumps, nodules, or an abnormal mammogram.
The hormones in birth control pills can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. This medication may also slow breast milk production. Do not use if you are breast feeding a baby.

Feb. 1, 2013 A research team in Israel has devised a novel approach to identifying the molecular basis for designing a drug that might one day decrease the risk diabetes patients face of developing Alzheimer's disease.
The team will present its work at the 57th Annual Meeting of the Biophysical Society (BPS), held Feb. 2-6, 2013, in Philadelphia, Pa.
A recent study suggests that people who suffer from type 2 diabetes face twice the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease later in life compared to those who do not have diabetes. The link these diseases share relates to the formation of two types of peptide deposits that aggregate, or clump together. Peptides are chains of amino acids; longer chains form proteins. One type of peptide, called amyloid beta, is found in Alzheimer plaques in neurons of the brain. The other type, amylin, is found in the pancreas and the brain. Two years ago, researchers found both molecules in the pancreas of diabetic patients, and in both diseases their presence has been linked to the progression of the disease state.
To explore the hypothesis that interactions between the two molecules might play a critical role in the self-assembly of peptides that leads to protein aggregation, Yifat Miller, assistant professor from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Beer-Sheva, Israel, characterized the way the two protein molecules interact with each other through an examination of their structure. It was the first analysis of its kind.
"By identifying the specific 'hot regions' of these peptides that strongly interact with each other, our study may provide insight into the link between type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer disease," Miller says. "We believe that preventing these interactions by developing a drug will decrease the risk that type 2 diabetes patients face of developing Alzheimer's disease later life."
Collaborator Aphrodite Kapurniotu of Technische Universität München, Freising-Weihenstephan, Germany, performed the molecular experimental examination of the interactions between these two peptides. Miller's research received funding from the European Union Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2011).

Pint-sized power, big fun
Henrico fifth-grader among those drawn to unique arena racing concept
While it will not become the home of the NASCAR Hall of Fame (which landed in Charlotte N.C.) Henrico County may yet be able to claim a unique racing legacy. Henrico business owner Ricky Dennis, who grew up near Nuckols Road and attended J.R. Tucker High School, has founded the popular and fast-growing sport of arena racing, in which half-scale stock cars circle a specially built indoor track. Although he has been around racing all his life (his father was a champion racer), Dennis did not get the idea for arena racing until a few years ago. "I went to my first ice hockey game at the [Richmond] Coliseum," he said, "and all I could think of was racing in that venue." The next weekend, Dennis was at a race and spotted some small cars, and the idea was born. "So you could call Short Pump," he mused, "the birthplace of arena racing." The cars in arena racing consist of nine-foot-long, cup-style stock car racing bodies and are equipped with 22-horsepower, rear-mounted Honda engines. Outdoors, they are capable of speeds up to 100 miles per hour; inside the arena, they may hit top speeds of 55 or more. The race series that began Dec. 29 and finishes in March has drawn racers from Maryland, Pennsylvania and North Carolina, as well as all parts of Virginia. Dennis has had numerous inquiries about establishing arena racing abroad, and within the next few years, he hopes to take the sport to the international level. In addition to providing wholesome family entertainment for all ages, said Dennis, the growing youth division also provides a chance for youngsters to take a crack at becoming future NASCAR winners. A Henrico ten-year-old, in fact, could be one of the rising stars Dennis is talking about. 'Don't get ideas' At the Dec. 28 practice session, the underground tunnels of the Coliseum hummed with activity as Aubrey Hill prepared to get behind the wheel of his car for the first time. A fifth-grader at Colonial Trail ES, Hill had been working toward this moment since seeing arena races last winter with some neighbors and his mother, Sharon. "Everyone loves the wrecks," explained his mother wryly. "It's exciting. After the first accident of the first race, I said [to Aubrey], 'Don't get any ideas!' "I think that's when he decided to do it." At first, Sharon Hill was adamant that Aubrey would stick to traditional sports, such as the basketball, baseball, soccer and football he has pursued so far. But she gradually came around -- even sponsoring her son's car through her business, Hill Storage in Mechanicsville. What changed her mind? "The statistics on accidents," she said. "No one [in arena racing] has ever been seriously injured enough to stay in the hospital." Not too many sports can claim statistics like that, she reasoned. Noting the five-point harness and steel roll cage that protects drivers, she added, "They have him secured with several seat belts, restraints on his arms, restraints on his head. "He's not going anywhere." Better than video games To prepare for driving in an arena, Aubrey made several trips to G-Force Karts in Henrico. "The first time, he was nervous," said his mother. "He was like Driving Miss Daisy." But as Aubrey gained confidence and speed and prepared for his first arena race, the Hills ran into a new obstacle: their lack of knowledge when it came to equipping the car. On the day of the Dec. 28 practice, Sharon Hill called Carl's Racing, a store in Ashland, to ask about some components she needed for the vehicle. Carl Blohm answered the phone, asked a few questions, and promptly closed the store to go to the Coliseum and help prepare the car. "He's a godsend," said Sharon Hill, gesturing toward Blohm and a couple of her neighbors who had installed the mike set in Aubrey's helmet and were now bustling around his car. Recalling Hill's phone call to the store, Blohm shrugged and said there was just no fighting the impulse to help her. "Her 10-year-old son is coming [to the Coliseum] to do this for the first time. Nobody [of the helpers] has been to a race before," he said. "And there are a million things you can do wrong." Besides, he said with a laugh, the president of Carl's Racing had told him to close up shop. "Danny Corker looked at me and said, 'You gotta go. You can't just leave him.'" As a member of the first crew when arena racing made its debut at Norfolk Scope, Blohm said he is delighted to see the addition of a youth division. "What we're doing is putting families back in racing," he said approvingly. With a nod toward Aubrey, he added, "This is better for him than playing a video game. He'll have to learn to work on the car; it's all about responsibility and commitment." "Somewhere in this group," he predicted, "is a future star." Two-wheeled birthday present Also participating in the Dec. 28 practice was Dystany Spurlock, a 2009 graduate of Highland Springs High School who recently discovered arena racing. Spurlock, now 20, played corner and safety for the HSHS football team, then moved on to a career in modeling and motorcycle drag racing. In a trackside interview, she said that the seeds of her racing career were planted when she was age six. "I would ride on the back of a motorcycle with my mom," she said, "so I had always been around [motorcycles]. Then my goddad raced, and I wanted to race too. "Mom got me a motorcycle for my 17th birthday." In just two years of racing, she has already achieved fame in motorcycle circles and is featured regularly in magazine articles. The arena racing caught her eye, she said, when she and her agent strolled by the display window in West Broad Village and her agent suggested she look into it. "I love it," she said. "It's different. The speed is out of this world. Also, it's very competitive, and I'm competitive. We're in a small coliseum with a lot of cars packed together, and [I'm thinking], 'How am I going to pass?' "It's a challenge, and that's what I like." Currently in search of a sponsor, Spurlock said she plans to race in the NASCAR ARCA Series in 2013. "And I should," she said confidently, "be in the Nationwide Series by 2014." Looking ahead And what's in the future for Aubrey Hill? Like Spurlock, he has his eye on NASCAR. "I'm really into it," said Hill, who notes that his favorite NASCAR racer is Carl Edwards -- in part, he said, because he favors the number nine and Edwards' number is 99. He has attended several races at Richmond International Raceway with his uncle and cousin, and notes that NASCAR driver ranks among his top two choices of professions. But another career choice has appeal as well: focusing on his favorite subject of social studies. Aubrey said he has especially enjoyed learning Henrico history, and was impressed to learn that the Richmond region was one of the first areas to be settled in the new world. "So I'm kind of embarrassed to admit it," he said, "but I'd also like to be a social studies teacher." For the immediate future, however, Sharon Hill noted she and Aubrey will need to focus their efforts in an altogether different "arena": finances. "We are looking for sponsors," she said with a laugh. "Mom's money has run out!" For details about upcoming races, visit arenaracingusa.com.

Office Chairs
Officestationery .co.uk provide a wide assortment of office seating, from simple stools for part time computer usage , to advanced ergonomic office seats for long hours at any desks. Having a lot of options , officestationery.co.uk's advise makes choosing the most appropriate office chair simple, all we need our customers to need to do is evaluate the needs and work pattern.
It is always crucial to keep in mind that even on an ergonomically appropriate seat , don't stay for an extended time without a rest! Stand up as well as do different things, like a few basic stretches. Small but repeated breaks are much better for all of us, than one extended break following a very extended period.
Office chairs are the back bone to any office, having the incorrect seating for staff can cause back pain and can hamper workflow. We stock a wide range of office seating solutions from executive seating to heavy duty seating for the larger person.
Our range of leisure seating and tables are perfect for any office kitchen area or cafeteria, this is easy to keep clean and hard wearing.
Many schools, conference centres and wedding venues use our multipurpose chairs, these include stackable chairs and visitor armchairs.
Things to watch out for during choosing an office chair.
Height of the seat
This will be the most significant of all other feature. The users feet need to rest flat on the carpet without squashing the rear of the users thighs, if not the blood supply to the lower legs and feet will be limited causing fatigued and perhaps numb legs.
Whenever you are working at a table which can't be adjusted in height, you ought to adjust your chair based upon the level of your table, lowering the chair until eventually the users elbows are just above the desk top. If the feet continue to not sit flat on the floor, you need to buy a footrest also.
Depth of the seat
If the seat depth isn't adjustable, it ought to at least enable the user to sit within reach of the rear of the seat without having the backs of your knees pushing into the chair. You will need to sit right at the back of the seat to make use of the backrest properly and assist the lumbar.
Supporting your lumbar using a backrest
It's essential that the chair has a backrest alongside an correct size and shape, to maintain support to the base and centre back effectively without limiting arm or shoulder movements. Any backrest really should assist you to keep the normal S-shape of the users spine while you're sitting.Tilting the backrest
Slanting the backrest enables you to choose different positions. When the user sits on a desk chair, the angle between ones thighs and back must be approximately 95 to 105 degrees so that the users abdomen and chest are open and not condensed. introducing more of the position between your body and thighs enables you to breathe better, supplying more oxygen to your muscle groups.
Dynamic seating
The human body isn't designed for static positions, particularly sitting. The longer you work , the greater the significance of chair movement gets, like as the capacity to lean back. It's much better to take smaller motions in the chair rather than continuously fidgeting.
Such seat motions hinge on the users weight, so desk chairs must preferably have automatic weight alteration. Otherwise, you might have the ability to adapt the tension for the backrest, to ensure that you are in complete stability whether or not you are vertical or tilting back, and capable to preserve a ideal posture without worrying about being required to exert excessive force.
The options of armrests
If you're likely to devote a little extra time in the seat, you really want to support the weight of your arms. Secured height armrests are okay for casual usage, however for extended use, these should modify, at the least in height. Elevation adjustable arms may be reduced to go neatly underneath the desk whenever the seat is not in use.
The top ergonomic chairs will allow one to change the distance anywhere between armrests to meet your physical width, so that they are nearby to you where you are looking for them.
In the event the armrests stop you moving close to the desk or table, you'll find yourself seated at the front edge of seat and then not have the means to make use of the backrest properly, therefor losing lumbar support.
Swivel and spin!
This Particular is furthermore a extremely important function. While you're working, you may require to extend to other areas of the desk. Should the chair doesn't swivel, you may possibly have to frequently turn your back to access, this is not great for your back.
What the seat is made from
The chair, armrest and backrest should be cushioned solidly enough to support one, but should really feel soft enough for one to not ever feel pressure points, or the rigidness of the seats frame.

By Jennifer Calhoun Staff writer
Before you spend a fortune on Christmas decorations, Stacey-Ann Blake wants you to pause for a minute and think about what you already have.
Chances are, Blake says, you've already got most everything you need to decorate for the holidays.
Blake, a 36-year-old Fayetteville Army wife and mother of two, started the Design Addict Mom blog at designaddictmom.blogspot.com as a way to channel her self-professed obsession with design.
"I needed it as an outlet to talk about design," she says. "Otherwise, I would have driven my friends crazy."
Since she started the blog in 2010, the Jamaican-born Blake has written about everything from ideas for children's birthday parties to tips for creating a masculine space.
She has gained about 1,000 followers through the blog and Tumblr accounts, and even gained a following from a few overseas designers who love to chat every so often.
"This is actually therapy," she says. "It can be therapeutic for me to talk with them. It's like family."
We asked Blake for design tips for the holidays, and she was happy to help us out:
Blake loves the contrast of her nicked wooden table against the blinged-out napkin holders and white macaroons in a shiny glass jar. She loves the height of the jars and the symmetrical effect that draws the eye. Throw in some pinecones as placeholders, and Blake is in heaven.
"I like character in my pieces," she says.
Besides, she has children, and she gave up on the rigidity of perfection long ago.
"I design with my kids in mind," she says. "My decor is not untouchable. It's approachable."
But Blake says her children aren't a limiting factor at all.
"I still have my artwork and my other pieces," she says. "Just because you have children, doesn't mean you can't have nice things."
Blake says she has had her glass apothecary jars for years. While she no longer uses them in her everyday decor, they come in handy for special occasion decorating, she says.
"If you do buy something, think classic," Blake says. "Get something you can use over and over, no matter what the season."
The jars are used in table settings and are filled with Christmas-colored peppermint treats and white macaroons. But she also pops them on side tables and mantles and fills them with colorful ornaments or pine cones.
Blake tends to sway toward more modern design aesthetics, with a touch of rustic thrown in. That means traditional Christmas items are rarely on her radar. She never cared for the star or angel tree toppings. This year, she uses wire strands of beads from Pier 1 for a funky, eye-catching and inexpensive way to top the tree.
"Your home should reflect your personality," Blake says. "Put your own stamp on it."
Her tree does just that. Big, sparkling balls bring pops of color - a necessity in her home - while Mardi Gras masks add a touch of drama.
"I got the Mardi Gras masks a couple of years ago at Pier 1," she says. "They're a good size to fill spaces in the tree. You don't always have to have the perfect ornaments."
Another eye-catcher is the fuzzy white fabric she uses as a tree skirt.
"I found it on sale at JoAnn Fabrics," she says.
Blake loves the idea of design being a conversation starter for guests. On her Christmas mantle, she mixes a white porcelain reindeer with apothecary jars of ornaments and length of greenery. A starburst mirror that normally hangs above the fireplace complements the arrangement.
"It's unexpected, so it can be a conversation piece," she says.
Blake especially loves to dazzle guests with the unexpected - unusual tree ornaments, varied textures and longtime traditions wedded with new ideas.
"I just like to mix it up, and give people something to talk about," she said. "I like it when there's always something to look at."

These pillows are the best thing since sliced bread! I never imagined I could find a pillow I love so much that I never want to lift my head off of it! I am tempted to order more to have for the future if heaven forbid my new ones wear out!!!!!!!
I bought a pair 3 years ago. Every pillow I've tried previously breaks down and becomes a hard lump. Not so with these pillows. You can still give them a shake and they fluff up perfectly.
Anyone in need of a great pillow should definately consider these. I am a side sleeper and a back sleeper and this pillow was comfortable in either position. I've never knew what a great nights sleep was like until I got these pillows (I ordered the firm).
I am recovering from a fractured shoulder therefore have found difficulty in finding a comfortable position when in bed.I decided to do some research and found your site and after having read the reviews decided that perhaps I would find exactly what I was looking for! My 2 pillows which have aided me no end in finding the correct position without too much discomfort caused from the fracture are just what I needed! The pillows mould into the shoulders and head giving me a comfortable support using either one or both pillows. Thanks to yourselves I am now managing to sleep more comfortably and would definitely recommend the pillows.
Very lofty and comfortable pillows! I have asthma so they are the perfect choice and were a very good value! I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for new pillows.
Yes, Yes Yes / bought the firm pillows and they are wonderful. Sleeping much better now. Been using overstock for several years and have never been disappointed. Always fast delivery and never a shipment problem. high quality pillows.
just got two of the standard size to try them out, I like them because they are not to soft but still hold there shape. I will be ordering the king size set to complete my set.
These are by far the best pillows I have ever purchased.
I stayed at *** Hotel and fell in love with the soft pillow. *** sells its bedding but the price is not cheap plus I have to pay shipping fees. So I researched online and catalogs to find a similar pillow. One day the pillow at overstock pops up while I was navigating online. I read the reviews that was pretty good. Some customers love the pillow even after years of use. Despite the very affordable price of set of 2 pillows, the product quality is excellent. I feel it's almost identical to the pillow at *** hotel. I chose "soft" pillow as I move around. I'm a back/side/tummy sleeper. The soft pillow is perfect. I have a better sleep now. I recommend it to my friends.
Pillows were suppose to be firm, they go flat, did not like at all.

Circa discs with pen-holding centers
We've made Circa discs even more practical by incorporating a rubber gasket in the center of each disc to hold onto your writing instrument. Simply slide your pen or pencil through the discs of your notebook, and the rubber spokes grasp it perfectly.
Holds pencils or extra-slim pens like our
Pocketini Pen
L-Tech Ballpoint
(available separately)
Not designed to accommodate True Writers or larger pens
Slides in easily, then grips — pull gently to remove
1 1/2-inch discs hold up to 200 sheets
Set of 11 discs
Enough discs for one letter-size Circa notebook, or one junior and one Circa Jotlet™ Translucent Notebook
Circa Clincher Discs 1 12 inch set of 11
circa perfection
These discs are exactly what I was looking for. The best pen to use is the Cross Tech 3. It slips in and out with ease. You only need to use clencher discs on the top four rings of your notebook. This way you can retrieve the pen easily. The Tech 3 gives you a pencil, red pen, and black pen in one. The "clenchers" are a great product. Get the right pen and enjoy!

Right Where I Want It
I purchased these discs to use with my school notebook. I hate digging in my backpack or pencil bag before and after every class, especially since I always use the same pencil or pen. With these I never have to look for my pencil, I know right where it is-exactly where I want it! They work great, the pens and pencils I use have fit fine. Still I am considering an investment of a Levenger pen...
September 28, 2013
Making Circa even better
Using Circa Clincher Discs means always having a pen or pencil handy. One set, mixed with plain 1-1/2 discs means that more than one Circa notebook benefits. Or, if both a pen and pencil are needed, the Clincher Discs can provide that at both ends of a Circa notebook. What a clever addition the Clincher Discs make to the functional Circa system
August 4, 2013
why can't they be bigger?
i love these discs and they are the only ones i use. but please, why can't you make them in a larger size? i use my junior notebook for work and the current size is simply not sufficient and i constantly have to downsize the number of pages i can carry with me. help...... many thanks for an otherwise fine product
April 20, 2013
Great Product
Love this product. Great size and it is great that it holds my pen as well.. I love all of Levenger products.
April 7, 2013
Clever idea
I purchased this product to work with my "other" brand name notebook, which it does fit well. The paper that I have is not Levenger paper and has been sliding out a little easier which could be the paper's design. However, it is not so outrageous that would make me not want to use this product. I love the larger size of the rings and the ability for me to store another pen via the discs.
November 4, 2012
Simply love this product
I am used to using Stabilo pens that don't have a cover and are thin so they don't fit into the regular pen holders of any diary/planners. But this product solves for that - the rubber grips the pens and they slide in and out easily. Now i carry them to meetings and everyone's just amazed by this product. I have recommended it to my colleagues as well.
June 19, 2012
Pricey but Worth It
These discs are a great addition to the product line. While I am a new user, I noticed with one of co-workers that maintaing a pen with any convenience was very difficult. These discs have made that no longer a problem. As said in another revie you do not need to use them all, you can use four of these and four of the cheaper ones, then switch when necessary. That way they will last longer. Rubber seems to be high quality, although I would avoid pens that have rubber grips - it is harder to get them out.
May 3, 2012
Great Update to Original
I had been avoiding the Circa system primarily because of the lack of pen/pencil space, but this is the perfect solution. I just use plain mechanical pencils and have found all of them to fit nicely.
January 15, 2011
Very disappointed
I was very disappointed in this product. Like the other reviewer, I was really looking forward to using these disks. It's a great concept. However, they don't work with a mechanical pencil, which is what I use. So people should know that these only work with specific pens or wooden pencils.

A short history of Apple's aggressive legal tactics
The missing iPhone 4G purchased and publicized by Gizmodo last week has developed into a legal soap opera taking some rather dramatic turns. The story line has involved police breaking down the door of a blogger, his computers being seized, and the local authorities tracking down the people who found and sold it.
We also know that Apple reported the phone missing to the local authorities, who then initiated a criminal probe, both into the person who sold the device, revealed by Wired.com Thursday as 21-year-old Brian J. Hogan, and the party that purchased the prototype iPhone for $5,… Read more

Techniques for Preventing Interruptions to Customer Water Supplies
Price: £150
Ref: 12/WM/04/9
Published: 2012
Customer expectations in terms of quality of service are rising; as such, customers are increasingly intolerant of interruptions to their water supplies. This increasing expectation is reflected in the introduction of the Service Incentive Mechanism and the requirement for more detailed reporting of interruptions to Ofwat. The water industry has developed a number of methods for working on mains under pressure to prevent interruptions, but there is a wide difference in the application of these techniques across the industry. This report evaluates the under pressure techniques that are currently available to the water industry, as well as reviewing those used in the Oil and Gas industry to assess what new techniques could be developed. A Decision Support Tool has also been developed to assist the practitioner in determining the relative cost effectiveness of under pressure techniques versus conventional methods, taking into account the impact of causing interruptions.

We had a great kick off to our 20th wedding anniversary celebration before heading on over to the coast for two additional nights. The Mill Valley Inn... staff went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. They made particular note of our anniversary with a few special treats in our room. The breakfast (available to everyone, not just us) was one of the most impressive I have seen anywhere. Way above the standard fare. Charming inn in a lovely little town and you are only steps away from EVERYTHING. 由 Hotels.com 旅客於 14/11/2013留下評價

Review: Awesome Photo FX has numerous tools, but suffers from performance issues
Awesome Photo FX is unique from other photo editing and creation tools because it allows you to drag and drop elements from a menu bar at the top of the screen onto your canvas; but there are some issues. The app loads photo libraries rather slowly and there are no tools for editing or combining elements any more than they already are when dragged around the canvas. The result is somewhat muddled as a result.
The first step when opening the app should be to create a canvas. You can drag and drop your finger to select the size of … Read more

Raddisshme Design House (Terra Plana's affiliate design company) has won a new contract working with global streetwear fashion label Diesel
Terra Plana bags another award at Drapers Ethical Footwear Retailer of the Year 2008
May 29th 2008 by Terra Plana
Terra Plana were delighted to receive the award for Best Ethical Footwear Retailer of the Year at the prestigious industry event Drapers Footwear Awards 2008, in association with Gore. The event was held at the Park Lane Hilton Hotel, London on Thursday 8th May. This year there were a record number of entries, making the competition tougher than ever before, so it was a real achievement to pick up this sought after award.
Here's what Drapers said about us in the Winners' Brochure:
"An obsessive attention to detail in terms of design and product lifecycle marks Terra Plana out as the exemplar of ethical footwear. Its use of innovative materials including recycled foam footbeds and Latex support this company's focus on sustainability. Never one to rest on its laurels, Terra Plana constantly pushes the boundaries of ethical footwear. Having developed various concepts for its brands – it offers 'recycled', 'health' and 'efficient' product categories to name but a few – Terra Plana is now storming ahead with plans to introduce brand ambassadors and guest bloggers on its website. With its niche brands including Terra Plana, Vivo Barefoot, Worn Again, Dopie, Trip Clip, Soul Of Africa and Po-Zu, the Terra Plana style is eco-friendly, chic and comfortable. More stores and international franchises should help secure its place as the leading ethical footwear retailer."
Due to extraordinary demand we have sold out of Vivo Barefoot in the USA. We are furiously making more shoes and will have more Vivo Barefoot available for our friends over the pond to buy on-line soon. Please be patient – it's worth it!
Steve O'Brien is a popular Radio Presenter in New York, and after trying his first pair of Vivo Barefoots, this is his glowing report:
"Well I can't say I'm shocked, but I AM surprised at how comfortable these shoes really are from day one. Walked across Central Park – grass, pavement etc – no problems.
The Vivo Barefoot shoes make me feel like a kid again and make my feet and legs walk more naturally. I had no break-in challenges and was reluctant to take them off my feet.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful creation and please let me know how I can help spread the word – in addition to my radio show and blog. My feet, my back, my entire body thanks me for wearing these terrific shoes!"
Exclusive Japanese shoe boutique 'Shoe Bar' is running a Dopie promotion for the whole month of May in its 5 stores across Japan. The window displays and all of the posters in store are about Dopie, and staff members will be wearing Dopies everyday for the whole month.
Think On Your Feet
For the month of May 2008, TERRA PLANA will offer a £10 discount to every customer who brings in an old pair of unwanted shoes in store to be recycled – all brands are welcome.
In the UK alone, over 330 million pairs of new shoes are purchased each year with a similar amount going to landfill or the incinerator.
In total, 25.5 million tones of household waste is collected each year in the UK, just under 27% of this is recycled or composted.
UK recycling currently saves between 10 – 15 million tones of greenhouse gases each year, this is equivalent to taking 3.5 million cars off the road.
TERRA PLANA is working with THE EUROPEAN RECYCLING COMPANY to lower the amount of shoes that are sent to landfill. The unwanted shoes will be collected from the TERRA PLANA stores in London by THE EUROPEAN RECYCLING COMPANY, who will then sort through them and sell the re-usable footwear on to Third World countries. The shoes are then locally refurbished and resold at affordable prices within those local areas. In addition to reducing the amount of footwear sent to landfill & supplying communities with much needed footwear, this scheme is also providing a means of earning a living in countries where employment opportunities are sparse.
The locations of our participating stores are as follows:
64 Neal Street
Covent Garden
124 Bermondsey Street
London Bridge
