US 20020054451 A1Abstract
A method and apparatus for estimating position and speed of a read/write head in a disc drive, based upon the back EMF of the voice coil motor involves estimating the voltage across the voice coil motor and estimating the voltage across a current-sensor resistor in the voice coil circuit, preferably with a differential amplifier. Further, a coil resistance voltage is estimated by measuring the voltage across the current-sensor resistor with a differential amplifier and amplifying the voltage across the current-sensor resistor by a gain value. Finally, the combined voltage across the current-sensor resistor and the characteristic coil resistance is subtracted from the voltage across the voice coil motor, yielding the back EMF of the voice coil motor. The back EMF is representative of head velocity which may be integrated to yield position. Accordingly, the back EMF can be used to control the speed and position of the read/write head.

RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims the benefit of the filing date of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/246,167 filed Nov. 6, 2000 and entitled “VCM HEAD POSITION DETECTION AND CONTROL WITH BACK EMF.”
FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] This application relates to hard disc drives and more particularly to an apparatus and method for determining the speed or position of a read/write head in a disc drive based upon knowledge of the level of back EMF in the voice coil motor. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] The storage medium for a disc drive is a flat, circular disc capable of retaining localized magnetic fields. The data that are stored upon the disc find physical representation through these localized magnetic fields. The data are arranged on the disc in concentric, circular paths known as tracks. [0004] The localized magnetic fields can be detected by a magnetically sensitive head when they are brought in close proximity to the head. During operation the disc continually rotates, meaning that for each rotation, a head fixed a given radius from the center of the disc would encounter every localized magnetic field along a given track. Altering the radial coordinate of the head allows the head to read or write data along a different track. [0005] The head is mounted upon an actuator arm that is rotated by a servo control system. Accordingly, the track position of the head is controlled by the servo system. When the head needs to access a different track, the actuator arm is rotated under the control of the servo control system, bringing the head to the desired track position. [0006] In a conventional disc drive, the servo control system operates based upon a feedback loop. A reference signal (which represents a target head velocity) is provided to the servo control system. The reference signal is determined by the distance between the head and its desired track location. The reference signal serves as an electrical impetus to excite a voice coil motor and thereby drive the head toward its destination track. As the head slews across the surface of the disc, the servo control system determines the head's track location and velocity or speed by reading track location information contained within servo wedges, which are interspersed throughout each track. Based upon the difference between the desired track location and velocity of the head and its measured track location and velocity, the control system determines a new signal with which to drive the voice coil motor. Under this form of control, the head is driven until it comes to rest over its destination track. [0007] When a disk drive has no power and is not in operation, the read/write head is either parked in a landing zone that is located at the inner diameter of the disk or on a ramp located adjacent to the outer diameter of the disk. During power-up the read/write head must move toward a median track location, located between the inner and outer diameter of the disc. During this period, the servo control system is unable to accurately determine the track position or velocity of the read/write head by reading the servo wedges, because the servo control system has not yet locked the read/write head over a track to permit reading of the servo wedges. Thus, during periods such as power-up (when the servo wedges are unreadable), the servo control system is unable to operate in its normal manner. The consequence of the unavailability of the servo wedges during power-up is that either costly additional hardware is required to provide the servo control system with track location and head velocity information or that an unreliable open loop current/voltage drive method is utilized. Therefore, a need exists for a method and apparatus that provides the servo control system of a typical disc drive with track location and head velocity information during periods such as power-up, doing so with minimal additional hardware. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0008] A method and apparatus in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention solves the aforementioned problems and other problems. The method involves estimating the voltage across the voice coil motor, a voltage across a current-sensor resistor, and a voice coil resistance voltage. The combined voltage across the current-sensor resistor and the coil resistance voltage is subtracted from the voltage across the voice coil motor, yielding the back EMF of the voice coil motor. The back EMF is indicative of the speed or velocity and position of the read/write head and is used to allow velocity and positional control without the embedded servo sector information. [0009] Another embodiment of the present invention involves a current sensor resistor electrically coupled in series with the voice coil motor coil. A first differential amplifier is configured and arranged to amplify the voltage across the voice coil motor, thereby yielding a voice coil motor voltage. The first differential amplifier provides the voice coil motor voltage to a first summer. A second differential amplifier is configured and arranged to amplify a voltage across the current sensor resistor, thereby yielding a current sensor resistor voltage. The second differential amplifier provides the current sensor resistor voltage to a coil resistance estimator amplifier. The coil resistance estimator amplifier is configured and arranged to receive the current sensor resistor voltage and to produce an estimate of the coil resistance voltage added to the current sensor resistor voltage. The coil resistance estimator amplifier provides the estimate of the coil resistance voltage added to the current sensor resistor voltage to the first summer. Finally, the first summer receives the voice coil motor voltage and the estimate of the coil resistance voltage added to the current sensor resistor voltage. The first summer then determines the back electromotive force across the voice coil motor by finding the difference between the voice coil motor voltage and the estimate of the coil resistance voltage added to the current sensor resistor voltage, the summer thereby emitting a back electromotive force signal. The back electromotive force signal is approximately proportional to head velocity, and the time integration of the velocity is approximately equal to position of the head. Accordingly, the back electromotive force signal may be used in a feedback loop to control head position and speed. [0010] These and various other features as well as advantages which characterize the present invention will be apparent from a reading of the following detailed description and a review of the associated drawings.

[0012] [0012]FIG. 2 depicts a model of the voice coil motor, accounting for back EMF due to the motion of the coil. [0013] [0013]FIG. 3 is a signal flow diagram depicting the steps by which a disc drive may be controlled, using the back EMF of its voice coil motor as the basis for determining head velocity and head position. [0014] [0014]FIG. 4 depicts an embodiment of a control system in accordance with the present invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION [0015] In the following detailed description, the discussion associated with FIG. 1 is intended to familiarize the reader with the major functional components of a disc drive. The discussion associated with FIG. 2 provides context allowing the reader to understand the principle upon which one embodiment of the invention is founded. Finally, FIGS. 3 and 4 are directed to embodiments of the invention itself. [0016] A disc drive 100 constructed in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 1. The disc drive 100 is to be operably connected to a host computer 140 in which the disc drive 100 is mounted in a conventional manner. Control communication paths are provided between the host computer 140 and a disc drive microprocessor 142, the microprocessor 142 generally providing top level communication and control for the disc drive 100 in conjunction with programming for the microprocessor 142 stored in microprocessor memory (MEM) 143. The MEM 143 can include random access memory (RAM), read only memory (ROM) and other sources of resident memory for the microprocessor 142. [0017] Data is transferred between the host computer 140 and the disc drive 100 by way of a disc drive interface 144, which typically includes a buffer to facilitate high speed data transfer between the host computer 140 and the disc drive 100. Data to be written to the disc drive 100 are thus passed from the host computer to the interface 144 and then to a read/write channel 146, which encodes and serializes the data and provides the requisite write current signals to the heads 118. To retrieve data that has been previously stored by the disc drive 100, read signals are generated by the heads 118 and provided to the read/write channel 146, which performs decoding and error detection and correction operations and outputs the retrieved data to the interface 144 for subsequent transfer to the host computer 140. [0018] The discs are rotated at a constant high speed by a spindle control circuit 148, which typically electrically commutates the spindle motor. During a seek operation, the track position of the heads 118 is controlled through the application of current to the coil 126 of the actuator assembly 110. A servo control circuit 150 provides such control. [0019] During a seek operation the microprocessor 142 receives information regarding the velocity and acceleration of the head 118, and uses that information in conjunction with a model, stored in memory 143, of the plant to generate the response of the servomechanism to a high frequency stimulus to communicate with the servo control circuit 150, which will apply a controlled amount of current to the voice coil motor 126, thereby causing the actuator assembly 110 to be pivoted. [0020] The track position of the heads 118 is controlled through the use of a voice coil motor (VCM) 124, which typically includes a coil 126 attached to the actuator assembly 110, as well as one or more permanent magnets 128 which establish a magnetic field in which the coil 126 is immersed. The controlled application of current to the coil 126 causes magnetic interaction between the permanent magnets 128 and the coil 126 so that the coil 126 moves in accordance with the well-known Lorentz relationship. As the coil 126 moves, the actuator assembly 110 pivots about the bearing shaft assembly 112, and the heads 118 are caused to move across the surfaces of the discs 108. [0021] Whenever the magnetic flux through the coil 126 changes, a voltage across the coil 126 is developed, so as to oppose the change in magnetic flux. This voltage is known as “back electromotive force” or “back EMF”. There are two ways that the magnetic flux through the coil 126 can change: (1) the current running through the coil 126 changes; or (2) the coil 126 moves across the magnetic field. Assuming steady-state conditions, the current through the coil 126 remains constant as the coil 126 is accelerated and decelerated, thus the predominant source of back EMF in the coil 126 is due to motion of the coil itself. [0022] [0022]FIG. 2 depicts a model of the voice coil motor 124, accounting for back EMF due to the motion of the coil. As can be seen in FIG. 2, the voice coil motor 124 is characterized by a coil resistance 200 and a coil inductance 202. When the head 118 to which the voice coil motor 124 is attached is in motion, i.e., the voice coil motor is rotated around a pivot, the voice coil motor 124 exhibits a back EMF 204. The back EMF 204 is in proportion to the change in magnetic flux through the coil, which is, in turn, in approximate proportion to the velocity of the head 118 to which the voice coil motor 124 is attached. Thus, the back EMF 204 exhibited by the voice coil motor 124 can be multiplied by a gain value that characterizes the motor, thereby yielding the velocity of the read/write head 118. Since the integral of velocity is displacement, the position of the read/write head 118 may be determined by integrating the velocity—itself determined from the back EMF—and accounting for the initial position of the read/write head 118. [0023] The back EMF 204 can be measured indirectly. In determining the back EMF 204, VbEMF, first, the voltage across both the voice coil motor 124 and an associated current-sensor resistor 206, Vm, is determined. Next, from this quantity, the voltage across the current-sensor resistor 206, VRS, and the voltage across the characteristic coil resistance 200, VRm, are subtracted:
[0024] [0024]FIG. 3 is a signal flow diagram depicting the steps by which a disc drive may be controlled, using the back EMF 204 of the voice coil motor 124 as the basis for determining head velocity and head position. Upon power-up, the read/write head 118 is parked upon a parking zone (thus, its initial position is known). As a part of the power-up routine, the read/write head 118 is to move to a median track location between the inner and outer diameter of the disc. During this period, the servo control system will obtain head speed and position information based upon back EMF of the voice coil motor 124. [0025] The discussion now turns to disclosing a control system/control method for controlling the position of the read/write head based upon knowledge of estimated head speed and an estimated head displacement from a target position. The immediate discussion assumes the availability of estimated head velocity and estimated head displacement from a target position. In the following discussion, this disclosure will reveal how to obtain these values based upon the back EMF of the voice coil motor. Initially, in a look-up operation/module 300, a reference head velocity, Vref, is obtained up from a look-up table, using estimated displacement from the target position, est, as an index (the process of arriving at the estimated displacement from the target position is discussed below). Next, in a subtraction operation/module 302, the reference head velocity looked up in the look-up operation/module 300 is used as a minuend from which an estimated head velocity value is subtracted (the process of arriving at the estimated head velocity is discussed below). Thus, the resultant difference yielded by the subtraction operation/module 302 represents the difference between the desired velocity of the read/write head and its estimated velocity (this is also known as the “velocity error”). The velocity error determined by the subtraction operation/module 302 is utilized by a velocity loop controller operation/module 304. The velocity loop controller operation/module 304 produces a control signal that is based upon the velocity error and a running integral thereof, which can easily be implemented by those of skill in the art. In one possible embodiment, the velocity loop controller operation/module 304 produces the control signal by multiplying the velocity error by a first factor, multiplying the integral of the velocity error by a second factor, and adding the two products together. The control signal yielded by the velocity loop controller operation/module 304 is converted to an analog control signal in an analog conversion operation/module 306. The analog control signal represents a desired current level to be driven through the voice coil motor. In a subtraction operation/module 308, the analog control signal is used as a minuend from which a signal representing the actual current level of the coil is subtracted. Thus, the resultant difference yielded by the subtraction operation/module 308 represents the difference between the desired coil current level and the actual coil current level (this is also known as the “current command error”). The current command error is utilized in a transconductance amplifier compensation operation/module 310. The transconductance amplifier compensation operation/module 310 receives the current command error and determines a correct output voltage (Vm), which is applied across the voice coil motor, thereby driving current through the voice coil motor and driving the current command error to zero. Next, in a current sensor module/operation 312, the current driven through the voice coil motor is detected and represented as a voltage. This voltage is supplied to the subtraction operation/module 308 (as mentioned above) and used as a subtrahend, being subtracted from the desired current level in order to produce the current command error. [0026] The above discussion revealed a control system that assumed the availability of: (1) data representing estimated head velocity; and (2) data representing the estimated displacement from the target position. The discussion now turns to a method and apparatus for determining the aforementioned data items, based upon the back EMF of the voice coil motor. As stated earlier, the back EMF of the voice coil motor is approximately proportional to the velocity of the coil (and therefore approximately proportional to the velocity of the read/write head, which is attached to the actuator arm at the opposite end of the coil). Thus, estimated head velocity may be arrived at simply by finding the back EMF of the voice coil motor. Estimated head displacement from a target position may be found by integrating the estimated head velocity (i.e., integrating the back EMF). As was also stated earlier, the general scheme for finding the back EMF of the voice coil motor, VbEMF, is to first find the voltage across the voice coil motor 124 and an associated current-sensor resistor 206, Vm, and to then subtract therefrom the combined voltage across the current-sensor resistor 206, VRS, and the characteristic coil resistance 200, VRm:
[0027] As can be seen in FIG. 3, the combined voltage across the current-sensor resistor 206, VRS, and the characteristic coil resistance 200, VRm is obtained in a resistance multiplication operation/module 314. The resistance multiplication operation/module 314 multiplies the current driven through the voice coil motor by the combined resistance of the current-sensor resistor 206 and the characteristic coil resistance 200, thereby yielding the voltage thereacross. In a subtraction operation 316, the combined voltage across the voice coil motor and the current-sensor resistor 206 is used as a minuend from which the combined voltage determined in the resistance multiplication operation/module 314 is subtracted. Thus, the difference resulting from the subtraction operation 316 represents the back EMF of the voice coil motor, which is representative of the velocity of the read/write head. Accordingly, the back EMF is made available as an input to the subtraction operation/module 302 via the use of a digital conversion operation/module 318. The back EMF is integrated in an integration operation/module 320, thereby yielding the estimated displacement from the target position, which is then supplied to the look-up operation/module 300, thereby completing the control loop. [0028] [0028]FIG. 4 depicts an embodiment of a control system effectuating the control operations and modules depicted in FIG. 3. The control system 400, consists of a microprocessor, 402, a digital-to-analog converter 404, a first summer 406, a transconductance amplifier compensator 408, a voice coil motor driver 410, a voice coil motor 412, a current-sensor resistor 414, a first differential amplifier 416 a second differential amplifier 418, a voice coil motor coil resistance estimator amplifier 420, a second summer 422, and an analog-to-digital converter 424. The microprocessor 402 embodies certain modules/operations depicted in FIG. 3. Specifically, the microprocessor 402 embodies the look-up operation/module 300, the subtraction operation/module 302, the velocity loop controller operation/module 304, and the integration operation/module 320. The microprocessor 402 performs the functions and purposes discussed (in the discussion associated with FIG. 3) with respect to the operations/modules it embodies. The digital-to-analog converter 404 embodies the analog conversion operation/module 306, and performs its functions and purposes as discussed in the passages associated with FIG. 3. The analog-to-digital converter 424 embodies the digital conversion operation/module 318, and performs its functions and purposes as discussed in the passages associated with FIG. 3. Optionally, the digital-to-analog converter 404 and the analog-to-digital converter 424 may be embodied within the circuitry of the microprocessor 402. The first summer 406 embodies the subtraction operation/module 308, and performs its functions and purposes as discussed in the passages associated with FIG. 3. The transconductance amplifier compensator 408 and the voice coil motor driver 410 jointly embody the transconductance amplifier compensation operation/module 310, and jointly perform its functions and purposes as discussed in the passages associated with FIG. 3. The current-sensor resistor 414 and the first differential amplifier 416 jointly embody the current sensor module/operation 312. As shown in FIG. 4, the current-sensor resistor 414 is connected in series with the voice coil motor 412. Thus, the electrical current passing through the voice coil motor 412 also passes through the current-sensor resistor 414. The first differential amplifier 416 detects the voltage across the current-sensor resistor 414, thereby representing the current through the voice coil motor as a voltage. The voice coil motor coil resistance estimate amplifier 420, the current-sensor resistor 414, and the first differential amplifier 416 jointly embody the resistance multiplication operation/module 314. The voice coil motor coil resistance estimate amplifier 420 receives the voltage level from the first differential amplifier 416 and amplifies it by a gain factor that has been determined to model the resistance characterizing the voice coil motor coil resistance, thereby yielding a voltage that is added to the voltage produced by the first differential amplifier. Stated another way, the output of the voice coil motor coil resistance estimate amplifier 420 is the combined voltage across the current-sensor resistor 414 and the characteristic coil resistance. The second differential amplifier 418 detects the combined voltage across the voice coil motor and the current-sensor resistor 414, and supplies that voltage to the second summer 422. Finally, the second summer 422 embodies subtraction operation 316, and performs its functions and purposes as discussed in the passages associated with FIG. 3. [0029] To summarize preferred embodiments of the present invention, an apparatus for determining the position of a read/write head in a disc drive based upon knowledge of the starting position of the read/write head and the level of back EMF in the voice coil motor consists of the following. A voice coil motor (such as 412) along with means for estimating for estimating a position of the read/write head based upon the back electromotive force (such as 400) and an actuator arm (such as 110) along with a means for determining a reference velocity of the read/write head (such as in operation 300) and a means for determining a velocity error (such as in operation 302), based upon the reference velocity of the read/write head and upon the estimated speed of the read/write head and a means for controlling motion of the read/write head (such as in operation 310). The means for estimating a position of the read/write head based upon the back electromotive force may further comprise a means for estimating a speed of the read/write head (such as in operation 316) and a means for integrating the estimated speed (such as in operation 320), thereby yielding the position of the read/write head. The means for estimating a speed of the read/write head may further comprise a means for estimating the back electromotive force across the voice coil motor (such as in operation 316). [0030] The velocity and position of a read/write head may be arrived at, based upon the back EMF of the voice coil motor in a disc drive, by performing the following steps. Determine the voltage across the voice coil motor (such as in operation 310). Additionally, determine the voltage across the current-sensor resistor (such as in operation 312). The voltage across the current-sensor resistor may be measured with a differential amplifier. Also, determine the coil resistance voltage (such as in operation 314). The coil resistance may be determined by measuring the voltage across the current-sensor resistor with a differential amplifier and amplifying the voltage across the current-sensor resistor by a gain value. Finally, subtract the combined voltage across the current-sensor resistor and the coil resistance voltage from the voltage across the voice coil motor, yielding the back EMF of the voice coil motor (such as in operation 316). Additionally, an additional set of steps may be performed. The back EMF of the voice coil motor may be integrated, yielding an integrated quantity, which is multiplied by a gain factor, thereby yielding an estimate of the read/write head position (such as in operation 320). Finally, a reference velocity may be looked up from a look-up table, using the estimate of the read/write head position as an index (such as in operation 300). [0031] It will be clear that the present invention is well adapted to attain the ends and advantages mentioned as well as those inherent therein. While presently preferred embodiments have been described for purposes of this disclosure, numerous changes may be made which will readily suggest themselves to those skilled in the art and which are encompassed in the spirit of the invention disclosed and as defined in the appended claims.

Montshire Museum - after a delicious lunch at King Arthur Flour
We had three young ones with us, age 9 and under. After enjoying an amazing lunch at KAF (see review) we were off to the Montshire! Before we had checked in the kids were off to the bubble area. The Montshire is wide open so the children can roam from activity to activity and you are able to easily see them. All the exhibits are educational, some contain live animals, and others let your child be active by climbing or riding a bike. When we went upstairs we were engaged in a microscope class led by a Grandma volunteer named Dee. She had the children looking at parts of insects, rocks, plants, and minerals. The climax was feeding spinach and kale to an enormous ant colony! The Summer is even more amazing because there is an entire water feature outdoors and trails for the whole family. Bring snacks- no food there.

5.0 out of 5 starsKeeps those heavy textbooks in lineByK. Levinon September 5, 2013I'm baffled by the ridiculously high cost of basic bookends. Unless I buy a bulk package of dozens for almost a hundred dollars, they cost about ten bucks a pair! We are home schooling this year, and, as an addicted book-hound, that has meant a lot of new volumes flowing into our home, many of them bulky textbooks, and most of them toppling over off of our newly designed "school" workstation wall. When I recovered from the faint induced by shopping for bookends, I found this Safco metal mesh divider at my favorite "bulk warehouse" store website and bought one right away.Wow, is this perfect for my needs. It keeps even heavy textbooks upright, and it lets me divide up the books by subject matter with less chance of accidental rearrangement by my elementary aged kid. It is at least as attractive as regular bookends, too, and far less likely to be tipped over. The warehouse store only sold a couple of these pieces, and I noticed an intriguing smaller size Safco Products Onyx 5 Upright Sections, Black (3256BL) in the product photo that I couldn't buy there... Naturally, I came to Amazon, and discovered I could've saved a few dollars by shopping here first. I bought my five section organizer here, and am about ready to spring for a second one of the 8-section I bought originally. (I'm integrating a decade of the results of a bibliophile buying children's nonfiction books. Most normal people could probably use one of these 8-section organizers for all of their texts.)I'm really happy to have our books staying upright, on the shelves, and no longer fear that they will topple onto my children's heads. (The bookshelves are above their desks.) The increase in organization makes me happy. These are coated metal, look pretty good, and show no signs of bending under heavy loads. I am very happy with this line of products, and expect to buy several more.
2.0 out of 5 starsBeautiful Design but FlawedBySarah Livon April 12, 2014Initially, when I saw this product, I thought "Okay, mesh is beautiful, black is matte & it has a nice incline so I can view my papers that I'm filing away in the slots." To my dismay, the products arrived slight bent at the base, which was very difficult to bend back into a flat plane. Also, the slots themselves were not evenly spaced so I had to also adjust those. After initial use, I couldn't figure out why the papers kept getting stuck when I attempt to pull one out. Upon further investigation, I noticed that at the bottom of each slot, there is a slight gap where the papers get caught in. The company needs to fix this issue. Why is there a gap? It doesn't make any sense to me. Also, I am unable to return this product because the return window was back in March; I feel like I wasted my time & money. I would not recommend purchasing for reasons stated above & return policy.

I ordered this for my desk at home, and then came back and ordered another one for my desk at work. I am a little OCD when it comes to organization and hate clutter. The three different trays help me separate different areas for work/home, and allows for easier access and organization when I need to transport the paperwork into files. It is larger than expected, which I was happy about, but also a little disappointed because it did take up a large portion of my work desk at home. However, it does its purpose and I have no other complaints!0Comment|

Being a glass artist, I needed a way to hold glass safely and organized in a place out of the way. Plastic wouldn't work, but this big hefty powder coated black metal file folder worked well! Its super strong, huge, and the prefect size to place on the top of my four-high black metal file cabinet. It doesn't slide around, move, and is not unstable in any way. I think really to see what I mean you just need to see a picture of it in action for me. I'll include one.This file folder is absolutely worth its price. It's FANTASTIC!

It's strong but lighter than the usual solid steel ones due to the steel mesh. The mesh also lets you see through a bit to all the sections so your items seem more available. It's great having eight slots. I'm more organized already!0Comment|

Attractive, and the size was perfect for fitting into my lawyer's bookcase (glass doors that slide up and into the case). Best of all, it's very sturdy, so it won't sag or slide off like plastic desk organizers, and no assembly was or will ever be needed. The side piece is handy for items that are upright.0Comment|

The weight is great and it hold a lot of files. As a financial planner my client folders get thick fast with client documents. This is perfect for what I need it for.

They are sturdy, rugged, and much more than I would expect for the price. I have bought 3 and am always finding new uses for them. The picture attached shows two of them holding my boxes. I haven't found an easier way to store boxes in such a small amount of space. My oldest one is almost 4 years old, so definitely would by these again and recommend them for value, longevity, and quality.

I'm in with tiny print fabrics for my fabric covered headbands!! Isn't this adorable? And so perfect for summer!
My bows are handmade . . by me and only me. They are hand folded and hand tied. Some are sprinkled with just a little bit more fun and excitement, but most are simple and sweet. Each soft headband is sized and hand cut to order. Every hard headband is individually hand-wrapped by me in grosgrain ribbon. All of the fabric I use for my fabric covered headbands is of the highest quality & hand cut to fit each headband form. I am a self-taught designer, having spent many hours trying to perfect my bow designs and shapes. I do not use commercial templates or "bow makers" to create my pieces. It's me, my two hands and the supplies in my studio.

Usually stay in motels where microwaves are in rooms plus a tea towel & few knives & forks are supplied ,I know I could have asked for the latter,just making comment that could be taken on board.
Perfect for a 6 day visit to family nearby”
Comfortable bed and quiet (in a room at the back). Adequate kitchen facilities for breakfast and occasional light meals.
the front reception was beautiful but the room are old. the bathroom was to small and the door wouldn't close
I was only an overnight stay but the staff were welcoming and friendly. The room was very comfortable and clean. Location was great as there were restaurants and clubs within 2 mins walking. A little bit pricey for what you got but ok. I would stay again.
Only an over-nighter but excellent location for what we had to do. Booked economy apartment which was well set out but the shower could have been better. Overall however, yes would stay there again. John
A fridge would be great otherwise v good
Thank you for your feedback, we appreciate all reviews. There is a fridge in all our rooms, your room may have had the fridge in the wardrobe. regards Fiona Operations Manager
Venice from Australia
No wifi as stated. Construction/noise inconvenience and not notified prior to stay.
Thank you for your review, we appreciate all feedback. The WiFi issue has now been resolved and the construction noise may well have been the technicians working on upgrading the Wifi. regards Fiona Operations Manager
Cigaret smoke in room. Cleaning unreliable. One entrance takes out bottom of car.”
One day cleaner was excellent. Next day cleaner missed us and towels left all day in a heap on the floor. Next day cleaner took towels but no replacement. Last night cigaret smoke came into the room all night and kept me awake snd gave me asthma. Happy to leave to be honest. And it was not cheap. On one drive way there is a very sharp bump which savagely scrapes the bottom of your car. If you habe to stay there choose another entry.
Thank you for your review, we rely on our guest feedback to help us to improve our product for our valued guests. regards Fiona Operations Manager
Advertisement didn't ring true”
Not enough lighting, terrible TV connection, advertised wifi was not in the room, no restaurant to serve food to the room, connection to soccer club was not indicated in advertising, felt unsafe. Staff were pleasant.
Thank you for your review, we rely on our guest feedback to help us to provide better service for our valued guests. The WiFi and TV connections have now been improved. regards Fiona Operations Manager
Very cosy..”
we were worried that Canberra might be too cold for our little one and our parents, forecast to be -5 degree that day, worry not to my suprise the unit that were in are very cosy and warm, we were really happy and enjoy our stay at Belconnen Way. Near supermarket and restaurants, walking distance
subim from Australia
beautiful place. loved every bit of stay with family. only concern is terrible wifi connection, almost impossible to connect inside the room. you have to go to the lobby to access the net. please fix this matter. other than that i recommend everyone to this place.

very happy that we stayed here.
Thank you for your kind review, we hope to see you again when you are next in Canberra. regards Fiona Operations Manager

9780970343307: Quest for the Pillars of Wealth (A Children's Guide to Growing Rich) - AbeBooks - J. J. Pritchard: 0970343302
J. J. Pritchard Quest for the Pillars of Wealth (A Children's Guide to Growing Rich)
ISBN 13: 9780970343307
Quest for the Pillars of Wealth (A Children's Guide to Growing Rich)
Publisher: Lantern Pr, 2000
Despondent over their parents' pending separation due to financial problems, Gennie and Jeff Douglas encounter an ancient man named Mr. Mortimer. Mortimer reveals three massive pillars, representing the three secrets for acquiring wealth. Gennie and Jeff must travel back through time to unravel each of the pillar's mysteries in order to save their family.
Today children receive very mixed and confusing messages about money. Wealth is all too often portrayed as a matter of luck, as in the publicity surrounding lotteries and lottery winners. Additonally, children see their parents bombarded with aggressive product advertisements, encouraging them to overspend. The message of saving and investing rarely gets the media spotlight.
Jeffrey J. Pritchard, a senior vice president with one of the nation's leading savings and investment institutions, has more than 20 years experience in the investment industry assisting both institutions and individuals. Whereas Pritchard has authored three prior books on investment related issues, Quest for the Pillars of Wealth is his first book to combine his financial expertise with his commitment to helping children.
In 1993 Pritchard founded Helmets for Youth Foundation, which provides bicycle safety helmets to limited income children in Washington State. Pritchard's efforts have earned him numerous accolades, including a National Lifesaver Award from the Department of Transportation.
Other books by Pritchard include: One Trillion-to-One, the Great Inflations; Heads You Win - Tails You Win; and Low Risk/High Performance - Investing with Convertible Bonds.

No bananas please, we're vegetarian! The foods you think are meat-free but actually contain SECRET animal products | Daily Mail Online
Published: 05:36 EDT, 19 May 2015 | Updated: 10:32 EDT, 19 May 2015
Figs (left) incorporate the proteins of dead wasps which may have died in them. Gelatine, made from the boiled animal bones, is what gives marshmallows (right) their bouncy shape
Foods which are coloured with a natural red dye will more often than not contain carmine, made from crushed up beetles
One thing in IKEA you don't have to make yourself! Store... Champagne keeps for three days, reds for five and rose...
Kellogg's Frosted Wheats for instance has beef gelatine, from cows' bones, in it to make the sugar stick to the cereal
Unless it's specified, never assume that miso soup is vegetarian as the broth can contain fish flakes
Karin Ridgers of VeggieVision TV
While it might contain tofu, a staple in many vegetarians' diet, miso soup, more often than not, is made with dashi (water, dried, kelp and fish flakes), the backbone of most Japanese cuisine.
Dashi is what gives miso soup, and most other Japanese soups, its strong umami flavour.
According to PETA, gelatine comes from skin, tendons, ligaments and bones of pigs and cows which are boiled in water.
It's a little known fact but Parmigiano-Reggiano or Parmesan, is not considered authentic unless it is made with animal rennet – which comes from the stomach lining of calves.
This is a strict regulation which denotes that a cheese is actually Parmesan. Calves' rennet also appears in Pecorino Romano, Grana Padano and Gorgonzola.
A surprising addition to this list. While figs themselves are not meat, they may contain insects such as dead wasps in them.
However, when you do bite into the fig, you won't be able to see the dead wasp contained within as an enzyme in the fruit converts the wasp into protein.
Parmigiano-Reggiano or Parmesan (left) is made with animal rennet. Some beers and stouts such as Guinness (right) have particles of fish bladder, known as isinglass, in them
These, especially the non-fat versions such as Muller Light, contain gelatine to add a creamier, richer texture.
Vegetarians are advised to read the label carefully before buying a new brand.
A spokesperson from Müller told MailOnline:'We offer consumers a range of products, from healthier fat free, low-calorie options to thick and creamy, indulgent desserts.
'All of the nutrition information and ingredients, including gelatine, are displayed on pack so consumers can make the best choice for them.'
Non-organic bananas are sometimes sprayed with a pesticide made from shellfish
Isinglass or fish bladder is used as part of the filtering process in some beers and stouts.
Because the amount used is so minute, the item itself is not listed as part of the ingredients.
The isinglass filters out leftover yeast particles which otherwise will cause the beer to appear cloudy.
Dashi is a cooking stock which forms the base of many Japanese soups including miso soup.
It is a light stock made with kombu (dried edible kelp), water, andbonito flakes (fish flakes).
A condiment which finds its way into many foods and drinks (Bloody Mary, anyone?) Worcestershire Sauce is made from anchovies.
Any orange juice claiming to be 'heart healthy' is the real culprit here. Those claims often mean the juice contains Omega-3 fatty acids which come from fish oils.
If an orange juice declares that it contains Omega-3s, vegetarians should check where they come from.
Kellogg's Frosted Wheats, for instance, has beef gelatine in it to make the sugar stick to the cereal.
The protein is made from boiling animal parts in water and appears as a binding agent in many products.
Sacla Classic Basil Pesto (left) contains cheese made with the stomach lining of calves. Anchovies are in the ingredient list of Worcestershire Sauce (right)
Traditionally made with powdered marshmallow root, most commercially manufactured products now used gelatine, in their recipes.
The collagen-rich mixture is what gives the sweet its firm and bouncy texture.
Unless there is a clear 'Vegetarian' symbol on the bottle, pesto, while it may seem like the ideal veggie-friendly product, actually isn't.
The basil and pine nut sauce often contains contains Pecorino Romano and Grana Padano, both which, are made with the stomach lining of calves.
A spokesperson for Sacla told MailOnline: 'Our classic basil pesto contains Grano Padano, a traditional Italian cheese which is made with animal products. The pesto is made using traditional Italian ingredients.
'However we are aware of people who are vegetarian so that’s why we developed two pestos which are suitable for veggies.
'One is our organic pesto, and we recently launched free-from gluten and dairy pesto which hit the shelves in March and that is suitable for vegetarians and vegans.'
MailOnline has contacted Kelloggs for comment.

Dualit 83800 Jug Blender, 2 Litre
Price: �148.56
5.0 out of 5 stars Arguably the only quality jug blender on the market!, 17 Aug 2013
This review is from: Dualit 83800 Jug Blender, 2 Litre (Kitchen & Home)
This blender looks great, works exactly as required, is quiet (some other reviews here suggest it's loud or noisy but I was surprised at how quiet it is considering the power of it's motor) and thoughtfully designed. Dualit is preferable to Magimix in my book because they're generally better quality, don't include useless accessories (I've got a Magimix food processor so feel I've been able to compare manufacturers) and most importantly - do what you want them to do. Haven't tried crushing ice yet but confident it will do so with aplomb! Finally, I read complaints about the "cheap" plastic material used for the jug - well, I also have a glass jug blender attachment for my Kenwood Chef and much prefer the plastic - lighter, stronger and easier to hold/manipulate.
1.0 out of 5 stars Pants!, 24 July 2013
This review is from: Information is Beautiful (New Edition) (Hardcover)
Not worth bothering with at all - Tufte is okay but tedious, this is worse than crapola - I'd not recommend this to a blind chimp!
Authentic Indian Spice Box With Double Lid 24cm (Large)
Offered by TheRedHotShop
4.0 out of 5 stars Better than the glass topped see-through ones!, 24 July 2013
This review is from: Authentic Indian Spice Box With Double Lid 24cm (Large) (Kitchen & Home)
This is good because it has two lids - plus the glass topped ones let sunlight through which degrade your spices! Probably could be cheaper but hey-ho, you pay for the convenience of mail order I guess!
Curry Spice Kit 10 Spices- FREE UK POSTAGE World Class Quality (Perfect Refills For An Authentic Indian spice Tin)
3.0 out of 5 stars Good shelf life but expensive for what they are!, 24 July 2013
This review is from: Curry Spice Kit 10 Spices- FREE UK POSTAGE World Class Quality (Perfect Refills For An Authentic Indian spice Tin) (Misc.)
Was hoping to get a relatively inexpensive spice mail order via Amazon - unfortunately not the case as could do better for cheaper at local Asian supermarket.
3.0 out of 5 stars Not quite Complete., 24 July 2013
I was left wanting after listening to this for the first couple of times, track sequencing / selection was way off so no idea who decided what went where! A bit of a mish-mash really.
3.0 out of 5 stars TV series excellent, book isn't as inspiring unfortunatley!, 24 July 2013
This book doesn't have the same vibe as the t.v. series - although I'm sure repeated viewing of episode recordings alongside reading this cookbook would do wonders. Shame, I was really looking forward to it. Have a look at "Undercover Curry" instead.

Microsoft 2000 Comfort Curve Keyboard Compact wth Hot Keys Black Ref B2L-00005
3.0 out of 5 stars Not as comfortable as the 3000 or 4000!, 24 July 2013
This review is from: Microsoft 2000 Comfort Curve Keyboard Compact wth Hot Keys Black Ref B2L-00005 (Office Product)
3000 is very quick but takes quite a while to get use'd to - 4000 is a luxury keyboard compared to 3000 but big and quite unwieldy. 2000 feels cheap in comparison to both (speaking from a touch typist pov)!
Price: �65.32
5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the cash!, 24 July 2013
This review is from: Lichfield Deluxe Camp Sun Lounger (Sports)
Have bought a couple of the white plastic type lounger's from Lidl/Aldi etc. for about �30ish previously - for �47 I think this is an absolute bargain. Light weight and adjustable, okay it doesn't have arm recliners but it's so comfy I don't care!
Undercover Curry: An Insider's Expose of British Indian Restaurant Cookery
by Dave LoydenEdition: Paperback
5.0 out of 5 stars Would give it six stars if there were a few more photographs!, 23 July 2013
This review is from: Undercover Curry: An Insider's Expose of British Indian Restaurant Cookery (Paperback)
Having started off many years ago with Pat Chapman books, and more recently been reinvigorated as a curry-holic watching Rick Stein's great "India" programmes, I have bought a LOT of curry cookbooks (I'm sure most of the popular choices anyone reading has in their stockpile). I'm surprised to say that I think this has to be my absolute favourite for a number of reasons: it's style/tone is motivating from the start - I don't agree with some of the negative reviews talking about wandering prose or petty niggles about measurements - plus it's not a Madhur Jaffery style "technical" book where everything has to be exact (gods help you if it isn't or you don't have some obscure spice or ingredient). It's very "hands on" and easy to follow (although I've been reading curry cookbooks for years so must have picked up a few techniques etc.)My only request would be to have a few more photo's of what Dave is talking about (an actual "curry spoon" for example) to make things even more simple to follow/reproduce the results - I realise this would add incrementally to the cost but I think even B&W photo's could assist here!
