Premier Inn Nottingham City Centre (Chapel Bar) Hotel
Reviews summary
18 Traveller reviews from Holiday Watchdog
Clean well located hotel
"I liked this hotel a lot. It's centrally located, right in the middle of the shops and eating places in the city centre, yet my room was very quiet - didn't hear a sound. The security was excellent - important for a woman staying alone - and the room was large and clean. The bathroom was very clean with a powerful shower. The complimentary breakfast was excellent, too, with a good choice of rolls, cheese, fruit, pastries etc. Staff were mostly helpful, though i didn't see a lot of them. Overall an excellent place to stay. I particularly liked being able to find good eating places literally right outside the hotel door."

Nice hotel, not near Sherwood Forest!
"Being a total geography ignoramus, I booked this hotel thinking it was near to Sherwood Forest (We were going to the Robin Hood Festival) What a fool - it was actually 20 miles away. Never mind - the Express By Holiday Inn was a lovely place to stay. Very clean, friendly staff and a well equipped bedroom. Also the kids loved the see through lift. Breakfast, as I'm sure other reviewers will have said, is along the lines of toast (you've got to toast it yourself!!!) croissants, yogurts, cereal etc. That was fine by us - it was all very tasty. However, they really do pack those tables in, and you've got to shift your own stuff onto trays at the end. I would stay here again, but not for the festival....."

"This hotel is in a great location with bars, restaurant, shisha bar, broadmarsh shopping centre, bowlng and ice rink around the corner from it. Parking is at the euro car park which is £8 for 24 hours and is down the street from the hotel. The room was spacious and clean with a huge shower and comfortable bed, it was really nice, not at all like a 2 star hotel. It is in a great location with a great atmosphere and is a nice place to stay for a night or two."

Good and bad
"I stayed here for 4 consecutive working weeks in January 2007. Location is good. Breakfast is continental but good considering. Showers are good and controllable. Rooms are pleasant enough. Windows don't open. In some rooms especially on the 4th floor the air conditioning machinery makes a racket even if it's not on in your room. There is internet access but this is ridiculously expensive (£60 per week). Some rooms (103 and 327) don't have mattress covers so you may not sleep well, like I didn't. They didn't have a spare cover so I had to change rooms. On the fourth week I had booked in the first 2 days myself on arrival and work booked the remainder of the week the next day due to a mix up. Presumably, because of this the thought I should have checked out on Tuesday, and when I returned I found I had been bin-bagged and my case tipped upside down? My ironed shirt that was hanging on a coat hanger has crumpled in a bin bag and my coat hangers were gone? The hotel offered to iron my shirt and replaced my coat hangers with others they found from somewhere in order that I could carry my suit home. Still in Nottingham next month but staying elsewhere."

Great location in city centre
"This hotel is relatively new and right in Nottingham centre. Rooms are good with a large double bed to which we collapsed inti after our sons 21 st! The breakfast is standard HI Express contintental but well presented when we were there (but could be a bit cramped at busy times. Got a good rate which made it good value for money) Only caveat is that you need to use a NCP park which is 5 mins walk away and not particularly pleasant."

Completely without character
"Totally standard, heartless business hotel. Staff friendly enough when available. Rooms smallish but clean - impossible to open the window which I know isn't that unusual in modern hotels but just adds to the sense of enclosure. As one reviewer put it perfectly: airless. I stayed one night and changed to a different hotel for my following week-long business trip because I just couldn't imagine being trapped in this soulless little place for four nights... Must admit that it has a really good lively central location."

mediocre airless hotel
"Following other positive reviews we booked to stay at this hotel in May 2006. The hotel failed miserably to live up to our expectations. The staff were both surly and disinterested. The room was stuffy with windows that did not open and poor and ineffective air conditioning. The hotel continuously smelt as if it has been sprayed by some cheap furniture spray, the beds were unbelievably soft, the sheets had holes and the breakfast was poor value â with coffee tasting like dishwater. The best thing that could be said about this Holiday Inn is that It was clean and centrally situated"

Good location but not worth the money
"I paid £85 for a night at the Express Holiday Inn City Centre in Nottingham. I find that hotel to have a general stingy attitude towards service. In most hotels they give you complimentary toiletries, here you get a note saying that if you need anything, to ask for it at reception... (here's a money saving tip for other hotels) The location of this hotel is priviledged, right on the city centre and the rooms are fairly well furnished but I think the money is too much for a 3 start hotel in Nottingham which is a fairly small town. Another good point is that the room has wireless internet connection. The breakfast selection was poor so overall, I think this hotel was overpriced. If you can get that room for less than £60 per night, you should go for it but I wouldn't pay any more because I don't think it to be worth it. I have read some fantastice reviews of this hotel that rate it number one in Nottingham and after having been there, I feel that maybe those review have been written by themselves as it is a bit of a coincidence that Holiday Inn in Devon also rates number one... Either that or the people that wrote them don't know any better."

Great value for money in city centre location
"This hotel is centrally situated in Nottingham with an NCP opposite (50% discount if you have your parking ticket validated at the reception desk). My room was clean and a good size. Skipped breakfast so can't comment on that, but it looked the usual self-service fare. Basically, you can't go wrong with this great budget option."

Perfect for central budget stay
"My husband and I stayed here on valentines night. We picked it for two reasons. One - because it is a stones throw from the Royal concert Hall where we were seeing a show the same evening. Two - we needed to keep costs down. We were very impressed on all accounts. By booking in advance we got a double room with complimentary buffet breakfast for just £57 for the two of us. The rooms are basic but spotless. The staff were very polite. The location was perfect for shopping and the concert hall. The breakfast is basic and self service but perfectly adequate. Holiday Inn express Notingham has managed to keep costs down on the little extras that don't matter when you are on a budget, and still keep standards high for hygiene, security and service. If this holds true throughout the chain I will be using them again for sure!"

Attractive, clean and quiet
"Stayed here for two nights last weekend 15/16 Oct 2005. Our room was attractive, clean and quiet at night which surprised us given some of the residents! Complimentary cont breakfast was varied and plentiful. A good place to stay for a few nights. Other Express by HOliday Inns have also been very satisfactory in the past."

Excellent value for money
"We stayed here earlier this year for the re-scheduled Elton John Gig which should have happened in December 04 but was cancelled. You can read my review of the Comfort Inn which we had the misfortune to stay in when we were in Nottingham in December. This time we decided to try the Holiday Express having used other hotel in in their chain. There is a big car park across the road and you can get discounted parking via holiday Inn. Check inn was efficient and we went up to our room. It was clean,light and airy and in standard Holiday Inn Express corporate trim. Everything nice,clean, comfortable and functional. What more can i say?. Buffet breakfast was served in the pleasant and comfortable ground floor dining area. Really,there is no need to go anywhere else!"

So you say you need an extra 8.7 hours in your average day just to get halfway down your to-do list? And that most of the personal services you need are hanging out the "closed" sign just when you're finally getting off work? No sweat: We went in search of all the myriad mobile services that do house calls, from tailors and personal chefs to pedicurists and personal trainers, and found a wealth of such time-savers. Of course, there are a few direct-to-your-door services that have been around since Grandma's day, from the milkman with his noisy glass bottles to the, er, odoriferous diaper service. But there are also some really cool ones out there in greater Baltimore that you might not have thought of. So, whether it's a low-tech phone book or your computer keyboard, let your fingers do the walking: Here are our 10 favorite home services, both time-tested, and, well, a little over the top.
Gee, Your Hair Looks Terrific!
Leslie Storms, Hair Sylist
For 25 years, Leslie Storms has been on the road, styling hair on television and movie sets (Ladder 49, The Wire, Flags of Our Fathers, and Wedding Crashers, to name a few) and gussying up the candidates of various political stripes for state and national election campaigns. (Yes, to style a Democrat or a movie star, you'd better be a union member and she is: the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Local 798.)
She has even been summoned to Washington's halls of power to make over the manes of the Clintons, Sen. John McCain (the hair was not the issue, as you'll see later), Tom Brokaw, and others. So you would think she might want to give the road-trip gig a rest, especially since she stays plenty busy running her hair-styling and finishing salon in Hunt Valley, Faceworld Cosmetics, and is starting her new Pink Consignments "designer resale" shop as well.
But steering her brushes, blowers, and beauty products into people's driveways (for $125 an hour or so) is how she made her name, and she can't give it up.
"It's still my passion, and I still have a lot of people who won't let me go," says Storms. "What I do is an integral part of fashion and hair and makeup and all that—it just means I have to hire people to run my shop." So we had to ask, with all the VIP elbow-rubbing she's done, what were her most challenging moments?
In terms of sheer numbers, she'd give the nod to her job of styling 100-plus men and women—including Kirstie Alley and Tim Allen—to look like the Amish for the movie For Richer or Poorer.
And in the category of light refraction? "I'd say it would be keeping the bald heads of Sen. John McCain and [Democratic strategist] James Carville from becoming too reflective for the cameras during the heat of the summer in Wedding Crashers," she offers. Then there was fighting off the overprotective Secret Service while attempting to trim then-Secretary of State Colin Powell's eyebrows—"Oh, and, not flirting with Bill Clinton," she says with a laugh.
A Chore Thing
Bridget Gatewood, Personal Concierge Service
It's been a year since swearing to yourself that you'd straighten out that filing cabinet packed with yellowed mortgage refi papers; months since you promised Aunt Elma you'd take her shopping; and weeks since scribbling on a Post-it note to call a plumber to fix that bathroom drain (which, of course, means waiting around from "10 to 3" for him to maybe show up).
For Mason-Dixon Concierge, every day is about tackling such chores. From providing transportation to and from appointments to housecleaning and personal shopping, there's little they haven't done. "Just the other day, I was ironing labels onto a woman's clothes," says company President Bridget Gatewood. "Then I had a client a few weeks ago who had me put her dog down for her. She couldn't handle it, so she asked me for some help."
Sound like a job even stranger than yours? Maybe, but these people are good at it, and at typically $35 or more per hour (or on a long-term retainer), quite affordable for both private and corporate clients.
"The personal shopping we do is upscale, sometimes for professional people and sometimes for celebrities, either local figures or people who come into town for an event," says Gatewood. And, of course, for many VIPs, everything is an emergency: "Sometimes their assistants will call out of the blue and ask us to do such and such right away," she says. "If we can do it, we will."
Of course, there's a recession on and there's also some wierdness out there, so in Gatewood's business, the concierge service is not the only one that gets interviewed before the deal is sealed: Gatewood also personally interviews new clients herself to ensure her staff will be safe, that everybody will get paid as agreed, and that the fit is a good one.
"Every day is different," says Gatewood. "But it feels good being able to do something for somebody else, to help them with things they can't do"—or simply don't have the time to do.
Tailor- Made
Victor Pascal, Master Tailor
In this job market especially, first impressions are important, and that means looking good. That's why Victor Pascal finds that his business of designing and creating tailor-made men's suits and shirts actually does better when the economy is rough. After an initial meeting in his store to discuss what type of suit you are looking for, he'll visit you at home for fittings or for additional suits.
A native of France, Pascal trained in design schools in Paris and worked for years with designers Ralph Lauren, Adolfo, and Christian Dior. While he enjoyed the designing, he found that for some people, buying even high-end designs off the shelf wasn't good enough—they wanted to buy clothes that fit them perfectly. His father was one of Paris' top master tailors—he apprenticed under him starting at age 14—so, in a sense, he's returned to his roots.
"Everybody is different," says Pascal, whose typical custom-made suits start at about $1,300. "Every body is different. My clients want clothing for their bodies and no one else's." Makes sense. Because people in Pascal's line of work will tell you that an ill-fitting suit makes you look 10 pounds heavier. And who wants that?
Paws and Effect
Bridget Graff, Pet Groomer
When she was in college, Bridget Graff thought maybe she would enjoy a career related to animal behavior—she ended up getting the certification. Later, she thought a massage therapy concentration would be better, so she took those courses, as well. In the end, though, she ended up in a calling that draws a bit from both disciplines: a mobile pet grooming service.
While doing a stint at Pet Smart's Grooming Academy, she went to a pet expo in Pennsylvania where she met a mobile groomer and got hooked on the idea. "I researched it for quite a while and became absolutely fascinated by it," says Graff, a Jarrettsville resident whose business serves four-legged clients in Harford and Baltimore counties. There are no career conundrums, now: "It's the best thing I've done so far."
After six years in grooming and two years on wheels, she's got it down to a science, to the tune of $65 to $180 per pet, depending on what size creature we're talking about (giant breeds excepted—her limit is 65 pounds).
Her cheerfully decorated and heated towed trailer is equipped with electricity, hot and cold running water, and all the bells and whistles that the bricks-and-mortar groomers have, except that it comes to your door—sort of like a little RV for pets. Kitty or Killer can order up a massaging bath (that college certification is starting to come in handy here), a brush and fluff during hand drying, a pedicure, ear-cleaning, paw-pad clipping, or a trim of the client's choice, including classic AKC-breed styling and poodle styling—all topped off with a bow or bandana.
She's also tuned into the health of her client's pets, and learns as much as she can about vaccination status (she'll ask for proof the pet is up-to-date) and health issues of the dog or cat.
"Coming to the home is easier for the dogs or cats and it's certainly easier for the clients," says Graff, 27. "It works especially well if, for instance, a dog is aggressive with other animals at the groomer's, is sick, is very large, or if the client simply doesn't have time to drive back and forth to the groomer."
And the animal behavior programs in college have come in especially handy, too: "I'm pretty good at understanding cat and dog signals—I think it's given me a leg up on reading behavior."
Housing Authority
Joaquin Fajardo, Estate Manager
[email protected]
So, ok, the manicurist just left, but you've got the personal trainer coming Tuesday, and the personal chef Wednesdays and Saturdays. How are you going to keep track of all this TLC? All you need now is an estate manager like Joaquin Fajardo. Think professional overseer/jack-of-all-trades/butler-on-steriods: He not only coordinates all of the meal-planning, but he will also plan for parties, manage contractors, do minor household repairs, and clean up after everything is over. Best of all, he will blend into the background with finesse and grace. "You have to be a swan in this business," he says. "You can't see it moving, but somehow it gets from one side of the lake to the other without leaving a wake." Fajardo cut his teeth at the Four Seasons Hotel and the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas, as well as in the service of a couple of very demanding celebrities. Plus, he knows a thing or two about food: He is a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu cooking school. So whatever you have for him won't be a problem—he's dealt with worse.
Gifted Hands
Cinnamon Bowser, Nail Care Expert
It was a pregnant roommate that got Cinnamon Bowser started down the career road of mobile manicurist. "She wanted to have her toenails painted before her baby was delivered, but she couldn't reach her feet," recalls Bowser. "And I couldn't find anyone to come to her house and do it for her." So Bowser started Nail Taxi, a company that will come to home or office to give manicures and pedicures. The four-year-old operation also serves hotels, hospitals, and corporate events. For $75 an hour and up, she has painted nails for guests at bridal showers and for mothers and daughters out for some girl time. Her favorite part? How much a small thing like a manicure can brighten someone's day.
She also loves learning something new every day. "I could write a book of all the little tidbits I pick up here and there. One client told me all about poisonous snake venom while I painted her nails." Guess you have to talk about something.
Training Day
Candace Grasso, Trainer
You've got the brand new exercise outfit (still in the package), the shiny new fashion gym bag, the trial gym membership you've never used, even the exercise machine in the rec room (you know, the one you use for drying your socks). No problem: Candace Grasso of Fit Is It can get your butt in gear. And since she's also a nutritionist, she can not only coach you through a workout (she doesn't want to list her prices), but will also help you plan your diet and learn about what your body needs. "I'm sort of like a therapist," says Grasso. "I talk to people every day for the first two weeks, holding them accountable for what they're doing and eating. I call my range of services 'wrap-around care.'"
If you want a virtual personal trainer, Grasso has also created audio workouts that can be downloaded from iTunes, so you can listen to her on your own time. If nothing else, Grasso's sheer energy is contagious. She not only works as a personal trainer, but also writes a column for Smart Woman magazine, does a weekend health segment on WBAL-TV, works with doctors as an online nutrition consultant, and is a member of the Power Bar Team Elite (think Michael Phelps and Lance Armstrong). And all this after recovering from a broken neck suffered in a bad car accident. Beat that.
Massage Delivered
Kelly Wilkes, Massage Therapist
At the end of a long day, you've got a mild headache, your feet hurt, your back is killing you, and you can't get over the temper tantrum the boss threw at the office. What you need, buddy, is a nice massage—or maybe some yoga. Or maybe both. Though a lot of the clients at the six-year-old Ojas Wellness Center come directly to one of its three Baltimore centers—which offers everything from massage and yoga to skin care and waxing, Pilates, and various health-related workshops—they also offer massage therapists and yoga instructors who visit their clients' homes. They've even sent out an acupuncturist. "We've seen all kinds of people," says Ojas owner Kelly Wilkes. "We have worked a lot in-home with elderly people who can't get out of the house and pregnant women," she says. "We also work with patients who are recovering from an injury, and I personally worked for a long time with a quadriplegic patient who needed special care."
If the yoga and massage combination sounds a little weird (typically at $70-90 per hour), it shouldn't—both will help you relax and get in tune with your body. So as long as you have enough space for them, they can bring a portable table, all the necessary lotions, and even some soothing music to get in the mood. It's all about the "fluid of life," the supposed translation of the word Ojas from Sanskrit, or so goes the company line: "Through regular massage, organic skin care, yoga and Pilates classes, and acupuncture, you maximize the body's essential energy, bringing you back to your natural state of perfect health," it claims. That does sound pretty nice, though, right? Especially when it comes to you. After 12 hours of small wins, losses, and draws in your stressful private and professional life, it's a great way to end the day.
Chef Mate
Chef Kim Tyrie, Personal Chef
[email protected]
Sure, Kim Tyrie of The Virginia Daughter, A Personal Chef Service, can whip up a mean dinner right in your own kitchen for any special occasion, but, when asked, she also offers a novel twist: stirring American history into the mix.
She's cooked for bridal showers, birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, and other special family occasions. But as a student of Colonial times who grew up near Williamsburg, Virginia, her real love is creating 18th century recipes using authentic ingredients, pewter and period china, even dressing in period costumes to serve up her Colonial-themed dinners and tea parties.
"I come from a long line of great Southern cooks—my company name is dedicated to my grandmother—and have a special interest in 18th century cooking, tea parties, the old recipes, and so forth," she says. "I enjoy dressing up for the period dinners, too—it's like going back in time for the evening."
For the Kingsville mother of two college-aged boys and former legal secretary, word has spread quickly of her prowess in the kitchen. "I love to cook and feed people and entertain, and friends began to ask me to help them cook for events, all volunteer of course," she says. "So I decided to make it a business."
New Order
Holly Millman, Organizer
With a background in both psychology and education and 20 years of experience in the corporate world, Holly Millman seems to have what it takes to get things done. And in her latest incarnation as a personal organizer, she also has what it takes to make you get things done and turn the kitchen junk drawer that is your life into something frightenly tidy.
No, she won't go through your junk mail for you every day and she won't follow your toddler around picking up discarded toys and putting them back. What she will do is teach you how to keep your time, space, materials, and information in order (at $65 an hour). Her goal is to give you the skills to bring order to your life where there was once only chaos, whether it's help with paperwork overload, getting your 6th grader to do his homework, or sorting out a houseful of dusty memoribilia you haven't looked at in years. But Millman isn't just about working with private individuals in their homes: She also gets things organized in the business world.
For one recent client, her success with the business owners' smart but distracted children inspired them to bring her into the family's catering business as a consultant. "I helped them with their staffing, organizational charts, filing systems, and business plan," says Millman. "Then I went into the homes of the company officers and principals and did the same sort of thing for their personal systems and spaces."
"The people who come to me are typically highly intelligent but don't have the skills to manage their time and information and work space. I help them function better in their lives. The same is true with kids—they're the reason I left commercial real estate, so I could use my background in psychology and education and work with young people again. The kids I work with test very high but often have frustrating functionality and organization challenges associated with attention deficit disorder. As for the adults, that problem doesn't just go away because you got older."
With Millman's coaching, her adult and child clients create efficient systems so everything can get done in a timely manner, which relieves stress. (No, really, it does.) It also means you might have a little extra time for you. Imagine that.

Hi, All
Has anyone done a successful Teradata restore (copy) using NetBackup between 2 systems?
The procedure is in Veritas NetBackup 3.4.1 for NCR Teradata System Administrators Guide Windows NT and UNIX but after religiously following the steps, it doesn't work. Are there extra steps I need to do? things to check?

This morning I completed 4 laps of my village green is in Theydon Bois, Essex. The green is divided into two halves – I have walked round the half with the duckpond. This is a huge achievement for me as each lap is around 800 metres (half a mile).
Considering that this time last year I was bedbound with M.E. (also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), this is an amazing recovery – thanks to all the care and expertise at Burrswood Hospital.
Please donate to my walk and help the M.E.Trust to make a difference to the lives of others with CFS/M.E.

I thought it might
be fun to have us Flex users show a picture of their FlexRadio in their shack.
Here is my 6600M in
my shack. It's in the rack on the left.

Sergey, KN7K
It is an Omnimount RE27 Audio rack . Likely overkill, but the fellow who installed my A/V system had a second hand unit and sold it to me with 5 shelves at a very good price! I have ordered the "ears" for the 6600 and will rack mount it at some point. It sits in a undeveloped portion of the house at the moment which will eventually become a home office.

Paired with an Allied A-2516 Receiver (Made by Trio), it was a pretty nice Novice station.
My first novice transmitter was a Globe Scout 65a with a Heath VF1 VFO. I think it cost me $25 used, but I had to repair and remodel it. It had a bad resistor in the 6L6 Oscillator circuit, and someone had hacked up a 6 Meter mod that was poorly done.
I did all this at age 14 as a novice.

The power loss in the cheap RG58 or RG58U coax most of us used as novices back then was more than that!

I currently have the amp running with the Flex just via RF sampling. Eventually, I'll use DDUtil so it will tune as I QSY vs with RF sampling. I want to learn all the basics of the rig first before I dive into more advanced stuff.

Very soon you won't have to spend $7000 for a quality amp!
Ameritron is working on a legal limit LDMOS HF amp as we speak.Hang on tight it won't be long!
I think I am going to order this amp soon, Hell even if I but 2 of them it's still less expensive than the PGXL. Also if the Germans designed it you know it's Awesome!
Also I like building stuff like hams used to do so this looks like just what I need.
Thanks Steven for the info.
I've never run more than about 350 watts to a vertical and I've gotten DXCC on 8 bands, WAS on 7 bands , ARRL Triple Play, etc. etc.
Just because the FCC allows 1500 doesn't mean you need to always use 1500. In fact the rule says you are supposed to only use the minimum power necessary for the contact - but we all know how well everyone follows that rule.
Yes Pat you are absolutely right in fact I run just 100W most of the time and some times use my amp when the bands are bad.
And just because you have a 1500w amp does not mean you need to run it at 1500w. I usually run about 600w to 1000W with my Ameritron AL-1200 amp when I do turn it on.
The conversation
Steven and I were having was about an alternative to the $7000 PGXL
amp from flex. And it seems to me that at just a little over $3000 to
get a 1500W solid state amp (not that you need to run 1500W;) is very
Depends what you need in the shack, in some cases the PGXL is one of only a few that can do what it does with so much ease and may be the way to go.
For me, I find the PGXL way to much amp then I need here, so the cost will not be justified.
I recommend if you have not done so is talk to others that are using the amp you are looking at. I understand that they are not a kit you put together and go, there is much more to it, bias and alignments to mention a couple are not so easy.
As far as I am concerned you cant really compare anything else to the PGXL anyway. Its really like two amps in one.
If Flex made a baby version of it with half the power, I would probably get in line if the price was right.
I would love to feed both antenna connections out of the Flex into a PGXL. But the legal limit plus version is just too expensive for me and like I said not something I really need.
This image taken from a monitoring Webcam. The webcam is PTZ so I can look anywhere in the shed.
All this gear is mounted in an insulated shed about 20 feet to the right of my desk op position. That position can be seen on my QRZ page: I ran cables for key, mic, footswitch, and speakers. All lines have lots of RFI suppression.
In initial tests I can hear no RFI on my signal on remote monitoring stations. I've been getting good audio reports.
The shed is kept at a pretty constant 68 degrees as there is an HVAC unit in that same shed.
Having everything remote keeps my op position super quiet. No fans, no noise almost at all.
The control pi hosts a webpage I can log into to control the amp and tuner as well as remote on/off the 6600. I can also access my primary 120V outlet and reset everything by killing DC power if needed.
I have Antennna 3 on my HF auto grounded. During storms if I cannot manually disconnect coax I instruct the HF Auto to set antenna 3. I realize a lightening strike will likely destroy the HF Auto but it is the least expensive of the gear.
I have an array solutions arrestor between the Amp and the flex. I figure of course that my best plan is to disconnect the antenna and if I am there I will of course do so. But if I can't be then I have Antenna 3 grounded, and the array solutions arrestor that hopefully will keep damage from getting to the flex.
I also have only wire antennas and they are lower than many of the trees in the area so I can hope that there will be better ground sources for lightning than my simple loop antenna.

The insurance landscape within New Zealand had undergone a fundamental shift post the Christchurch and Marlborough earthquakes. The market is still evolving, both in response to issues brought to the fore by the earthquakes and as part of wider global trends.Insurance is a factor in most commercial and property transactions so it is crucial that lawyers understand both how insurance works and the impact that the earthquakes have had on general insurance. There is a need to understand how the insurance landscape has changed, what the issues for lawyers are now and how insurers are reacting to the issues.
Bringing together lessons learnt with the practical aspects of how insurance works and how lawyers can work alongside the broker and insurer for better outcomes for your clients, this seminar will look at insurance from the beginning to the end and point out what to look out for on the way through.Topics covered will include:
Please contact us if you use a dial up internet connection.
From an insurance perspective the Canterbury earthquakes caused losses of a scale, diversity and complexity seldom witnessed anywhere before. A wide range of disputes have arisen between insurers and insureds about policy response. Lawyers have had to analyse policies as never before, and apply them to circumstances for which there are few if any precedents.
This seminar booklet is written by the two lawyer participants (Neil Campbell and Peter Woods). In the presentation we will also have contribution from an industry participant, Storm McVay, on the market changes and other challenges that have arisen from the earthquakes.

So here I sit in my hotel room, the Mandalay Bay, in Las Vegas waiting to finish the video edit for a client of mine. It has been a hectic 3 days so far and though they are very pleased with what I have captured so far, my mind is mush…..
The space shuttle Atlantis lands in a few hours back in Florida and I don't leave Vegas until tomorrow afternoon. Safe to say that I won't make it to the landing pad….and there is no "next time" to get the desired images……guess what….life goes on.

This is the way the photo industry works, and the sooner you figure that out, the less stressed you will be. Trust Me!
To all of my colleagues who will be there, I wish you nothing but the best. Get the exposure right and make history, you've obviously put in the time and deserve to capture beautiful images. Make us proud.

Our friends at Belvoir Lettings asked if they could post on our blog.
We said we would be delighted and proprietor of Belvoir Bolton, Mike Stuttard, identifies the top five things that can go wrong for landlords, plus explains what they can do when the worst happens…
What can landlords do when things go wrong?
Even the most straight-forward of lettings agreements aren't without their potential problems. Plan early for pitfalls to minimise financial risk and maximise long-term gain.
1. Evicting bad tenants
When a good tenant turns bad, what are a landlord's options and how can they evict them?
It is important not to let matters drag on once rent becomes late. Obviously legal action cannot be taken until the rent becomes two months in arrears, however, all necessary steps should be taken beforehand to contact the tenant and find out what the situation is.
Make sure that all the correct notices are issued if the landlord wishes the tenant to leave. It is recommended that Rent and Legal insurance protection is taken out at the outset and this will cover the rent and legal costs should an eviction become necessary.
2. Avoiding the 'void'
How can landlords minimise the potential for long 'void' periods on their properties?
Nobody has a crystal ball but there are ways to reduce the possibility of void periods. It is important to make sure that the property is in a good condition. First impressions are extremely important in the lettings market and a property that looks good on entering will get the tenant interested. Avoid poor decor and damp, keeping the interior neutral wherever possible. Also, make sure that the property is competitively priced. The price may change depending upon market conditions - be prepared to be flexible.
Consider offering incentives, too - for instance 50% off the first month rent. And, always consider offers from prospective tenants. Don't just stick to the advertised price - the market can be a buyer's market for tenants who have many properties to choose from.
3. Dealing with rent arrears
How can landlords deal with rent arrears and what systems can they put in place to minimise the risk?
There are several things a landlord can do to help avoid rent arrears. Make sure that steps are taken sooner rather than later if a tenant is late with rental payment and make telephone calls if the rent is more than five days late – never let the matter drag on until the rent is more than one month late.
Ensuring that rent is collected by standing order, rather than waiting for the tenant to pay by cash or cheque, is also a good way to help guarantee regular payment - and remember to take out good Rent and Legal protection insurance before your tenant moves in too.
4. Money management
What can landlords do to help manage their outgoings and deal with fluctuating interest rates?
Fixing the interest rate on their mortgage is an obvious way to reduce fluctuations, plus keeping void periods to a minimum is also recommended. If you keep tenants happy they probably won't want to leave in a hurry!
Look to review the rent each anniversary. Nevertheless, it is not always the case that rent increases annually - this may make tenants look elsewhere for alternative accommodation.
5. Dealing with damage
How can landlords deal with damage to their property and minimise their financial loss?
It is always recommended that landlords have sufficient buildings' insurance cover in place. This should include malicious damage cover as well as cover while empty for longer than 30 days.
Landlords are also recommended to have some contents cover to include items such as floor covering and appliances.
Having a dilapidation bond is also important, together with a robust inventory/statement of condition for the property in case there is a dispute at the end of the tenancy. A good lettings agent will be able to provide insurance cover and prepare inventories for you.
Thanks Mike

This might help you if you are a landlord needing to collect debts and money owed by tenants - www.landsearch.net has a new service, they provide a package for debt collectors now that includes the title register, bankruptcy search and list of nearby sales and prices from the last two years. It's a LOT easier to have all the info in one package and weigh up the pros and cons of pursuing a debt. It is number 18 in the available services at http://www.landsearch.net/services.asp

Warburg Pincus and Tata Motors Ltd have called off a deal for the private equity firm to invest in Tata Technologies Ltd, the engineering outsourcing services arm of Tata Group.
Tata Motors said in a statement on Monday the transaction, announced in June last year, was scrapped due to delays in securing regulatory approvals and Tata Technologies not meeting internal performance thresholds because of market challenges.
"Tata Motors will continue to explore strategic options to sell its stake in Tata Technologies and remains positive on the outlook of the business," the automaker said.
Warburg Pincus was to invest $360 million (Rs 2,300 crore) for a 43% stake in Tata Technologies. This would have been the PE firm's single-largest investment in an Indian company.
The transaction involved the PE firm buying about 30% of Tata Technologies from Tata Motors and its unit Sheba Properties Ltd and the entire 13% stake held by Tata Capital Ltd. Tata Motors and affiliates of Tata Group were to retain an about 43% stake in Tata Technologies.
Tata Technologies has about 8,500 employees in 23 countries. Its services portfolio combines engineering, research and development; product lifecycle management and connected enterprise IT solutions.
The deal's collapse comes at a time when Warbug has stepped on the gas in India. The PE firm has invested more than $1 billion in India over the past year-and-a-half, according to VCCEdge, the data research arm of VCCircle.
This includes $283 million in ICICI Lombard General Insurance, $77 million in Kalyan Jewellers India Ltd and about $120 million in multiplex chain PVR Ltd last year and $200 million in logistics companies Rivigo Services Pvt. Ltd and Stellar Value Chain Solutions Pvt. Ltd in 2016. It invested in Rivigo again last month.
The private equity firm has $44 billion in assets under management. It invests globally in businesses at all stages of development with a focus on five key sectors: energy, financial services, healthcare and consumer, industrial and business services, and technology, media and telecommunications.
Founded in 1966, Warburg Pincus has raised 16 private equity funds that have invested about $60 billion in almost 780 companies in nearly 40 countries. Warburg Pincus, which invests in India out of a global fund, had raised $12 billion in its latest flagship fund—Warburg Pincus Private Equity XII LP—in 2015.

As a member of the Vatican Intelligence Network, under Pope John the 23rd, Martin helped extend the Church into Iron Curtain countries. In 1964, concerned about the corrupting influences of power, Martin was released from his vows of poverty and obedience after 25 years as a Jesuit.

While working here at the Visitor's center I have learned that folks often ask questions about our Amish communities and about the Amish way of life. I thought that it would be fitting to post some basic information here on our blog. You'll find more information about the Amish on our AmishCountry.org website.
The Amish are private people who choose to keep their lives centered around their faith. Their faith dictates foregoing modern amenities, including electricity, automobiles and telephones. This simple way of life is derived from teachings in the Bible and the Amish desire for an autonomous community.
The Amish can't pose for photographs or use cameras to capture their images. The Amish believe photographs lead to pride, which threatens the importance of the "community" by calling attention to individuals. Photos that are taken from a distance that do not show their faces may be acceptable but permission should be asked beforehand if possible. Please be courteous and refrain from taking any photos that make people uncomfortable.
I also get questions about seeing inside Amish homes and farms. Like most people, the Amish don't open their homes to strangers. However, some Amish operate business inside their property. This offers a unique opportunity to visitors. You can check with our website for a listing of local Amish operated businesses. You'll get a chance to chat in a comfortable environment. More
I'd like to include some quick tips to help Amish Country travelers.
- When driving (especially at night) watch out for slow moving horse drawn buggies. Avoid honking or startling the horses. This could spell disaster for all involved. And please do not feed or pet horses that are tied to a hitching rail or harnessed to a buggy.
- And remember the golden rule. Treat and respect those in the Amish community as you would like to be treated. The Amish are people like you and me who simply choose a different way of life.
- If you'd like to learn more, Menno-Hof in Shipshewana tells the Amish and Mennonite story and answers many questions. More.
Are there any Amish businesses in the area that you like to visit and chat with the owners?

René Descartes Collection Description
In 1966 the University of Notre Dame acquired a large number of volumes relating to René Descartes that had been collected by the Rev. Elias Denissoff. A comparison to Bibliographie des Oeuvres de René Descartes Publiées au XVIIe Siècle by A. J. Guibert (Paris: Editions du Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, 1976) shows that Notre Dame has twelve of the seventeen works listed and fifty-nine of the 137 editions. In addition Notre Dame owns seven editions unrecorded by Guibert.
The majority of the seventeenth-century editions of Descartes' works appeared in both French and Latin. Most of these were published in Amsterdam by three publishers and in Paris by a consortium of four booksellers. The leading publisher of Descartes was Elzevier in Amsterdam, who produced seven of his first editions and many later ones. Eighteen works in Notre Dame's collection (twenty-eight percent) were produced by Elzevier. The other leading publishers of Descartes were Blaeu and Jeansson in Amsterdam and Girard, Bobin, Le Gras, and Angot in Paris, all of whom are represented in the collection. The four Frenchmen appear to have coordinated the publication of particular editions among themselves. They apparently produced variant copies which were similar but which were intentionally distinctive only in the name of the bookseller in the imprint. Le Gras and Girard were brothers-in-law.
Descartes' first and arguably most significant publication was Discours de la Méthode which was published in Leiden by I. Maire in 1637. Of the five seventeenth-century editions Notre Dame owns the first edition and also two published in 1668.
His next work was La Géométrie, which was also published in 1637. Of seven editions Notre Dame owns the 1664, 1683, and 1695.
Descartes' next work, Les Méditations Métaphysiques, appeared in eighteen editions. Notre Dame has eight, including the 1673 Paris edition in two copies, of which one lists the name of Girard and the other of Bobin & Le Gras. The two copies are similar down to the errata. Notre Dame also has an unrecorded Dutch translation published by J. Rieuwertsz in Amsterdam. Guibert lists no works by this publisher, although this is one of three translations by Rieuwertsz in the collection.
His Lettres appeared in 1643. Notre Dame owns the 1657 and 1667 French editions, the 1668 Latin, and volume three of the 1682 Latin.
The Specimina Philosophiae appeared in 1644. Notre Dame has the first edition and four of the other nine editions. All but one of the recorded editions were published in Amsterdam. Notre Dame's unrecorded edition appeared in 1664 without a publisher's name but with Amsterdam publisher J. Jeansson's device on the title page. It varies from both Jeansson's 1656 edition and from Elzevier's 1664.
Les Principes de la Philosophie appeared in twenty-four recorded editions from 1644 to 1706. Our collection contains nine of them plus three unrecorded editions; the twelve range from the first by Elzevier in 1644 to a Dutch translation published by J. ten Hoorn in 1690. Among the nine recorded titles is the 1681 Paris edition in all three variants by Le Gras, Girard, and Bobin. In addition to these nine is an unrecorded edition of a 1657 Dutch translation by Rieuwertsz. Also unrecorded is a 1664 edition which names no publisher but displays the device of Jeansson on the title page. The page states that this is the fourth edition. The text is unlike either Jeansson's 1656 edition or Elzevier's fourth Latin edition of 1664, although like the Elzevier the title page adds "diligenter recognita, & mendis expurgata." The third unrecorded edition is a Dutch translation published by bookseller J. ten Hoorn in 1690.
Second only to Les Principes in number of editions was Les Passions de l'Ame, which appeared in twenty-three editions from 1649 to 1707. Notre Dame owns eight, including two copies of the Latin edition by Elzevier in 1650. Seven editions were published in 1650 alone; they include five French versions published in Amsterdam and Paris and two Latin translations published by Elzevier in duodecimo and quarto. Of the four 1650 editions owned by Notre Dame, one is an unrecorded variant of Guibert number 5 (p. 154). Ours matches the description in all details except the publisher, Jean Hénault, is not one of the six Paris booksellers identified as variants.
Abrégé de Musique was published in seven editions from 1650 to 1695 and Notre Dame's collection contains five of these. It also has an unrecorded English translation printed in London by T. Harper for H. Mosely in 1653.
Of the eleven recorded editions of L'Homme from 1662 to 1692 the collection has five, including the first which was published in Leiden by P. Leffen and F. Moyardum. Guibert warns that this publication, based on a French manuscript copy, was "imparfaite et peu appréciée." Notre Dame also owns the first French edition (1664) which presumably was more accurate.
Le Monde appeared in 1664 in Paris with three variants by Girard, Bobin, and Le Gras. The collection has that by Le Gras.
Opuscula Posthuma, Physica et Mathématica was published in 1701 by Blaeu of Amsterdam. Notre Dame owns this work, which is the Latin translation of three works which had appeared in French.
Of eleven editions of Opera Philosophica the collection includes nine ranging from the second in 1650 to one volume of the 1697. These include four of the six published by Elzevier as well as the last four published in the sixteenth century by Blaeu of Amsterdam and Knoch of Frankfurt.
There are twelve eighteenth-century editions of Descartes in the library's collection. These include a 1728 Discours de la Méthode; a 1714 edition of Lettres; five editions of Specimina Philosophiae dating from 1705 to 1724; 1723 and 1724 Paris editions of Principes de la Philosophie; 1707 and 1726 editions of Les Passions de l'Ame; and a 1729 edition of L'Homme.
Twenty-one contemporary and eighteenth-century editions in the collection responded to Descartes and his ideas. They were published from 1663 to 1739. Eight editions are by Gabriel Daniel; other authors include Bayle, Cordemoy, Du Roure, Erber, Huet, La Forge, Le Bossu, Petermann, Philipps, Regis, Rochon, and Spinoza.

SMP Volunteer Descriptions
The six standard SMP volunteer roles are:
Assisting with administration
This role involves such work as copying, filing, data entry, and placing outbound phone calls in support of SMP activity
Distributing information
This role involves transporting and disseminating SMP information materials to sites and events, and may include presenting prepared copy or performing scripted activities for small groups.
Staffing exhibits
This role involves staffing information kiosks or exhibits at events such as health fairs. Volunteers who staff exhibits provide general information about SMP to the public and answer simple inquiries.
Making group presentations
This role involves giving substantive presentations on SMP topics to small and large groups, with the opportunity for interaction with the audience during time set aside for Q & A and discussion.
This role involves direct discussion with beneficiaries, caregivers, and/or family members about their individual situations and may include review of personal information such as Medicare Summary Notices, billing statements, and other related financial and health documents.
Handling complex issues and referrals
This role involves in-depth interactions with beneficiaries, caregivers, and/or family members who are reporting specific instances of health care fraud, errors, and abuse. Volunteers who serve in this role may act on behalf of a beneficiary to correct an error or refer suspected fraud and abuse to the appropriate authorities.
The SMP considers four roles- staffing exhibits, making group presentations, counseling, and handling complex issues and referrals– to be "positions of trust." This means that the roles involve access to beneficiaries or other vulnerable people, personal or confidential information, or to money or other valuables. The four positions of trust are subject to more rigorous screening procedures than the roles involving administration and information distribution. If you decide to transfer from one role to another, please keep in mind that you may be required to undergo a more intensive screening process to qualify for placement in the new role.

Through an operational analysis a review of an existing facility is carried out in order to uncover opportunities for improvement in areas such as efficiency, emissions, availability, consumption and performance.
A feasibility report illustrates the costs and financial benefits of a possible investment in improved performance, a comparison between different solutions or for a required performance improvement (i.e. for emissions). Such a report can also deal with a change in operating conditions, such as a change of fuel, change in load, change in division between electricity and steam/heat production. Feasibility studies are an important tool for selecting and justifying an investment.
Inspections are mandatory and necessary to uphold performance, respect emission limits and repair after corrosion and wear and tear and fouling.
Prior to investing in a project, AET can assist with feasibility studies. The Rothes CoRDe CHP plant in Scotland is a good example, where AET was involved in the whole process right from the beginning. The plant uses residues from whiskey production as fuel, which required specially developed solutions.
AET can perform reviews of existing facilities and suggest improvements

Microfinance in Vietnam is largely the domain of formal State financial institutions. More than 90% of microfinance in Vietnam is provided by the State, through the Vietnam Bank for Social Policies, the Vietnam Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development, and to a lesser extent through other Government programs and funds.
It is estimated that non-state semi-formal microfinance providers in Vietnam (Non Governmental Organizations (NGO) and Micro Finance Institutes (MFI)) serve less than 500,000 clients, which is a very small level of outreach compared to the 7 million clients served by the Vietnam Bank for Social Policies and a total population in Vietnam that is nearing 90 million. The non-state microfinance sector consisting of basic credit and savings institutions, is relatively underdeveloped compared to the state sector in Vietnam and the microfinance sectors in neighboring countries. There is currently no active regulation for microfinance in Vietnam and existing non-state institutions can only mobilize savings from their clients that receive the institution's loans and so this limits the current applicability of different savings products. However, looking forward in the next 2 years, regulation should be in place that provides microfinance institutions with a stronger legal position and greater flexibility in regard to product development.
Demand for savings products
There is certainly a demand for savings products in Vietnam to offset the costs of large expenditure items. In the Vietnamese culture the younger working generation should take care of the older non-working generation. The idea of an individual saving for their own retirement by contributing to a pension scheme is not something that people ordinarily would consider saving for. There is a demand for a supplementary pension scheme for the less poor, such as workers that earn low but regular salaries in factories and processing zones. However, developing a pension product for this market sector would be difficult due to presence of the existing state pension scheme.

…For the season of Lent.
I'll jump on the bandwagon. It's the season of lent and as liturgical seasons go this is the marathon one. 40 days is a long stretch to sustain a focus on our creator, our relationship to one another, and the renewal of our faith. Like most people I fancy myself a solid runner in the lent race and yet I'm usually sitting on the curb by day three. I'm not admonishing anyone or myself for that matter. I am the world's worst at saying I'm going to give something up or take something on for lent and subsequently bailing on that effort. In fact, in the last few years I've really been a fair weather fan. I don't really want to even try the whole "give something up" unless I have a realistic expectation that I'm going to be able to succeed. What does that say about my approach to renewal and salvation? Pretty lame, right?
This year I took the marathon approach. I started after lent ended last spring. I decided to train up. I started asking myself the question, "What did I do for the food insecure of the world today?" There were days I forgot to ask myself the question. There were weeks that went by where I asked myself the question and didn't have an answer other than, "I guess I'll pray for those without enough to eat." At first it was unsettling. I prayed 10 fold more than I was physically or financially doing. I felt guilty for not DOING more. I felt like I was shortchanging the people I wanted so badly to help. When in reality I was doing 10 times more than I was doing before I started to pray about it. Then I realized, "DUH!" that prayer was the underpinning of the entire FastPrayGive.org plan. I was so interested in going the extra mile I had forgotten the basics. What at first felt like I was short changing the suffering by not acting in some physical way every day was a false guilt. Prayer is actually doing the modicum that has to be done. We can have all the money in the world and all the physical volunteers in the world standing by to help the hungry and if we don't have prayer how else will God know we need his help?
Now I'm NOT giving you an excuse here to just think praying for those without food is enough. However, I will say that if you took on the act of praying every day for someone with no idea where their next meal will come from you'd have a good plan for lent. Maybe you can throw in a word or two for the Holy Spirit to strengthen those in the fight to save lives from malnutrition and starvation. Maybe in addition you could pray for God to help you see how it is you can act to end hunger beyond this prayer. We need you to act in a meaningful way, but realize that if you're not darkening the door of a soup kitchen every day that's okay. We'd love it if you signed up to fast a meal once per week and give what you would have spent on that meal to FastPrayGive.org. We'll take it and use it to tell others about our global movement to end world while we package meals. Try this on for size:
God- help those who seek food. Help those who seek to feed. Help me to seek how to feed others. Amen.
May God give you peace and be gracious unto you this season of renewal.
Andy Morris – executive director, fastpraygive.org

A garden tops many people's lists of dream house features. Lots of us love nothing better than spending a lazy summer afternoon at a garden party, or looking after plants. But a luxury garden... now, that's a whole new level of dream living. What would yours have? A swimming pool? Or a day bed that looks like it belongs at a resort in the Maldives? We take you through the most covetable – and copiable – luxury garden design ideas we would definitely incorporate into our gardens – if money were no object.
If our gorgeous gallery inspires you to really go for it and redesign your garden, find out how to plan, design and cost your garden transformation.
1. Go for a sleek contemporary design for a small space
A luxurious contemporary design that makes a small or urban garden feel larger and lighter is all about clever use of materials, proportions, and lighting. Think light wood, stone or concrete with architectural planting to draw the eye and to contrast with the streamlined garden design. And ensure your design is space-efficient, with vertical garden elements incorporated to allow for as much available floor space as possible.
This stunning contemporary design makes the most of a small outdoor space in London with blonde decking and lit-up bench and water feature. The garden design is by My Landscapes.
Find out more about creating a vertical garden or living wall in our guide.
2. Create a focal point with an outdoor fireplace
Let's face it: most evenings out in the garden (and many days) will be chilly if you live in the UK. The solution? An outdoor fireplace. The bigger yours is, the longer you'll want to stay out. However, if yours is a smaller space, even a small faux chimney breast and fireplace can create a cosy focal point in a garden. This gorgeous outdoor fireplace is by Modus Fireplaces.
Small garden? Swap out a fireplace for one of the best chimeneas from our pick.
3. Use a large outdoor space for a swimming pool
Have a lot of outdoor space to work with? Consider adding a swimming pool. There will be a lot of practicalities to sort out, including drainage, whether your pool will be heated or not (if not, you probably won't get to use it very much), a covering system, and how and by whom the disinfecting and cleaning will be done. With all that in mind, what could be more luxurious than your own pool?
4. Create a chic light stone courtyard
Light stone or concrete are the perfect materials for a contemporary luxury garden design scheme. Easy to maintain, and perfect for linking indoor and outdoor spaces to make both feel bigger, you should really take the time to work on the small details with your designer or landscape architect.
This courtyard in Chelsea uses two levels of pale limestone paving and is by Charlotte Rowe.
Find out how to employ a garden designer.
5. Zone an ultra-modern garden design
Our top tip for a successful luxury garden design is to be mindful of what suits a garden of your size. Tiny courtyard space? Go for a unified, simple, yet striking design. Large space? Tease out its potential by creating multiple zones – just like you would indoors. Doing so adds interest but also helps you define what each area's purpose is. Think a seating area, a paved area, and a grass-covered area like this. Don't be afraid of getting creative with breaking up the space into different areas – if it's big enough, it can take it.
6. Include decking to make the garden versatile
Decking has been a hallmark of luxury garden design for several decades now. It can really unlock the potential of your garden, allowing you to use it in new ways, with areas for dining or sunbathing. Installing decking in a sloping garden is also the cheapest way to add new, level zones. Surround each area of decking with plenty of plants for both privacy, interest and character.
This decked town garden in Stockwell, London is by My Landscapes.
Check out our amazing decking ideas for more inspiration; find out more about creating privacy in your garden; and discover how to design a sloping garden.
7. Create an outdoor lounge space with a daybed
A luxury garden design is all about maximising its use and the level of comfort while you are using it. So, if you're planning to spend hours in the garden during the summer months, invest into high-quality seating that can also be used for lounging and napping. In fact, why not go all-out and get a daybed with a canopy? The Pavilion daybed is from Tribu.
Want more ideas for those lazy summer afternoons? We have some brilliant patio ideas for summer lounging.
8. Add interest with a garden water feature
What type of water feature is best for a luxury garden? We say pick contemporary shapes and luxurious materials; Zen-inspired water feature also work very well. Best of all, you needn't have tons of space to create this look.
The Water Bowl Scuppers are from Solus Decor.
Find out everything you need to know about garden water features in our guide.
9. Make your garden feel wild with a natural swimming pool
Not a fan of chlorinated swimming pools? Natural pools use dirt-filtering plants to create a pleasant and clean swimming experience. A landscape designer is a must for creating this feature in your garden.
This natural swimming pool was presented at the 2015 RHS Flower Show by Jo Thompson.
10. Pick a minimalist day bed for fuss-free relaxation
Luxury garden daybeds come in all sorts of configurations and looks. If you like your outdoor space streamlined and fuss-free, go for an ultra-modern day bed design, such as super-sleek San outdoor bed by Manutti. It's great for massages, too.
Get more advice on how to choose garden furniture.
11. Invest in a gorgeous outdoor dining set
If you love al fresco dining, then a really lovely dining set is a must. The devil is in the detail, from the quality of the materials to the finesse of the design; don't settle for anything that's not perfect. We think the Arc garden furniture by Point ticks all the boxes. Available at Go Modern.
For more options, take a look at our pick of the best outdoor dining sets.
12. Transform a rooftop terrace into a comfy lounge
If your outdoor space is on a rooftop or balcony, you might not have much space for lots of plants, but you do have an opportunity to create a comfortable and luxurious outdoor living space. Think comfy furniture (which thankfully won't get muddy), a coffee table, and plenty of soft furnishings.
Find out how to design a rooftop garden. And use these design ideas for a balcony or terrace to make the most of your space.
13. Set up a luxurious outdoor kitchen
Cooking outdoors can be a joy on warm summer days – but you need proper equipment to make the most of it. Aim to have as many of the elements of an indoor kitchen as possible, including a quality preparation area and sink. This gorgeous outdoor kitchen is by Thors Design.
Get more info about how to design an outdoor kitchen.
14. Build an orangery
Whether you want to use your orangery as intended and cultivate a glorious citrus garden, or you simply want a space that feels like it's part of the garden, but is protected from the elements, an orangery is an excellent addition to a luxury garden design. This orangery is by Vale Garden Houses.
Find out more about building an orangery in our guide.
15. Make fencing a design feature
Fencing has the obvious practical functions of creating boundaries and privacy, but there's no reason it shouldn't look great, too.
Browse more garden fencing ideas.
16. Add classic elegance with a traditional fountain
Love a formal, traditional garden design? There's nothing quite as timelessly elegant as a stone water fountain. The Athenian Wall Fountain is by Haddonstone.
17. Combine outdoor living with an outdoor kitchen
If you love garden parties – and cooking – then why not transform your garden into a space that's both equipped for outdoor cooking and outdoor entertaining? This Instagrammer's beautiful outdoor space combines functionality with top-notch design, perfect for a garden party.
We have more gorgeous garden party ideas in our gallery.
18. Invest in timeless garden accessories
There are garden pots that are just nice and cute, and then there are pots that look like antique sculptures, and that you'll want to pass down the generations. The Directoire Centrepiece Urn by Violet Grey definitely falls into the latter category – and has a price tag to match.
19. Get a garden room you could spend days in
Garden rooms open a whole new range of possibilities for using your garden: they can be used as home offices, or as relaxation rooms. You could even have a mini-spa in yours, if you really wanted to.
For more advice, follow our expert guide to adding a garden room.
20. Or a summerhouse to chill in on summer afternoons
Summerhouses are the simpler, more easy-going cousins of garden rooms. Typically, they will be less insulated than garden rooms, and hence are best for a summer afternoon spent cooling off from the sun.
21. Invest in a luxurious bespoke garden gate
Think of your garden gate as the equivalent of a house's hallway: it's not usually the first consideration when designing the garden, but it is the first thing you and your visitors see when entering it from the outside. So, we advise to invest in a gate that's as beautifully executed as everything else in your garden.
This bespoke Japanese-style garden gate is by Zeterre Landscape Architecture.
22. Create a relaxation area with sun loungers
Maybe you have a pool, or just a lovely decking area that soaks up the sun – if you love catching the rays, good-quality sun loungers are a must. The Monte Carlo sunbeds by Alexander Rose look great, too.
Find our pick of the best garden recliners, however luxurious your space.
23. Invest in a luxurious garden furniture set
What should a really luxurious garden furniture set have? We say: touchable, high-quality upholstery; a refined frame; a light, neutral colour that will blend into a contemporary garden design scheme. The Beaufort wood and fabric armchairs by McKinnon and Harris have all of these qualities; we adore them.
For more choice, browse our buying guide to the best outdoor chairs for your garden.
24. Take rattan garden furniture to the next level
If you like the familiar quality of garden rattan, but want a design that will take your garden to the next level, you could do a lot worse than the chic Pimlico garden furniture collection by Indian Ocean.
We have more of the best rattan garden furniture in our buyer's guide.
25. Go all-out on garden lighting
Carefully positioned garden lighting will add drama and atmosphere to your garden, a delight both if you're staying out, and if you're looking out onto your garden from the inside. Spotlighting is the most effective way to create subtle accents – a garden designer should be able to advise you on the best places for your lights.
Want to do it yourself? Find out how to plan your garden lighting.
26. Make your container garden extra luxurious
Container gardening offers plenty of opportunities for getting creative – or putting the finishing touches to an already coherent garden design scheme. To create a luxurious look, invest in impressive containers (stone or Italian terracotta will work well) and choose plants that look sculpted and neat. This Instagrammer's container garden looks elegant and contemporary thanks to the tightly trimmed plants.
Find out more about container gardening for small spaces.
27. Add natural luxury with high-impact plants
Last but not least, consider the plants you want in your garden. Of course, the choice of plants is always subjective: what looks 'luxurious' to you may not look it to someone else. As a general rule, however, we advise to choose plants that pack a real visual punch: think wisteria, or a magnolia tree.

Barnard's Loop around the Horsehead Nebula March 10, 2009Posted by jtintle in Deep Space, Space Fotos.
Tags: Ancient Starlight, APoD, Barnard's Loop, Drew Sullivan, Horsehead nebula
Why is the Horsehead Nebula surrounded by a bubble? Although hard to make out, the famous Horsehead Nebula is the slight dark indentation in the bright streak just to the left of the image center. Glowing like an emission nebula, the origin of the bubble, known as Barnard's Loop, is currently unknown. Progenitor hypotheses include the winds from bright Orion stars and the supernovas of stars long gone. Barnard's Loop is too faint to be identified with the unaided eye. The nebula was discovered only in 1895 by E. E. Barnard on long duration film exposures. The above image was taken in a single specific color emitted by hydrogen to bring out detail. To the left of the Horsehead Nebula, visible as a small dark indentation, is the photogenic Flame Nebula.

I had a really pleasant sales experience with Wokingham Motors Ltd. The biggest challenge was finding the Sales Office as there was no signage either outside on the Easthamstead Rd or onsite! I found all the staff really relaxed and helpful. We were able to test drive 3 models ourselves and the straightforward answers to our questions helped us narrow our decision to a single vehicle. We were able to complete the sale, set up the insurance and tax the vehicle onsite and one hour later drive it home. Everything was just so smooth.
