Does the Levo System Work for Tinnitus?
Tinnitus is a deeply frustrating condition that affects as many as 50 million people in the United States. Tinnitus is often characterized by a consistent ringing, whooshing or pounding in the ears. It's frequently experienced by people who work in areas with exposure to loud, repeated noises. Military veterans, factory workers and musicians are just some of the people most vulnerable to tinnitus. People suffering from tinnitus are often unable to sleep, they suffer from migraines and prolonged headaches and they can become anxious and irritable.
If you're suffering from tinnitus, you may be wondering what treatment methodologies are available to help you. The standard treatment for tinnitus is to use a hearing aid with a tinnitus masker—this is usually white noise blasted through the hearing aid designed to "distract" your brain from the tinnitus symptoms. Unfortunately, tinnitus maskers are unlikely to fully relieve you of your tinnitus symptoms, and can cause headaches of their own. Some hearing aid accessories in Pierce County, WA produce similar results.
The Levo System is an innovative new type of hearing aid technology that's changing the way that audiologists treat tinnitus. The Levo System creates specifically programmed noise disruption that mimics individual patients' tinnitus symptoms.
Working with an audiology office specializing in custom hearing aids in Pierce County, WA is usually the best way to identify tinnitus treatments that will meet your specific needs. Consider talking to your audiologist about the Levo System and whether it could be right for you. Here are just some of the many benefits associated with the Levo System that you should bring up during your next visit to the audiologist:
- Programmed disruption: Tinnitus is a deeply personal condition that impacts everyone differently. Some people, for example, experience their tinnitus symptoms as ringing in the ears. Others hear whooshing noises, or clanging and clattering. The Levo System takes these differences into account and creates highly personalized sound disruption therapies.
- Nightly therapy: There's no need to keep the Levo System in your ears throughout the day—it's a nightly therapy. This means that you listen to the Levo System while you're sleeping. The therapy should help "train" your brain to ignore your tinnitus symptoms after you wake up in the morning.
- Long-term efficacy: The Levo System is a long-term solution to tinnitus treatment. While there's no cure for tinnitus, the Levo System can help you more effectively manage your symptoms on a long-term basis.
For more than two decades, Harbor Audiology & Hearing Services Inc. has been a premier provider of custom hearing aids in Pierce County, WA. With four convenient locations in the Evergreen State, we're committed to meeting the hearing needs of our community. If you're looking for a trusted partner to assist you with keeping your hearing in prime condition and reducing your tinnitus symptoms, reach out to one of our friendly representatives today. We'd love to talk to you about the benefits of the Levo System and any other hearing aid accessories in Pierce County, WA that may be worth considering.

HOUSTON â A federal judge in San Antonio on Wednesday blocked Texas from enforcing its ban on so-called sanctuary cities, questioning the constitutionality of a law that has pitted Republican state leaders against several Democratic-leaning cities.
The judgeâs ruling was only temporary, and prevents the law from taking effect on Friday while a suit against it goes forward. But the decision served as a legal blow to one of the toughest state-issued immigration laws in the country and puts the brakes on a measure backed by the Trump administration that critics had called anti-Latino. The law has become so divisive that it served as the backdrop of a shoving match at the Texas Capitol between Hispanic Democratic lawmakers and their white Republican colleagues.
The law, known as Senate Bill 4 or S.B. 4, prohibits cities and counties from adopting policies that limit immigration enforcement, allows police officers to question the immigration status of anyone they detain or arrest and threatens officials who violate the law with fines, jail time and removal from office. It also directs local officials to cooperate with so-called immigration detainer requests, which allow foreign-born detainees to be transferred to federal custody after they are released from state or local custody.
A number of the stateâs biggest cities, including Houston, Austin, San Antonio and Dallas, all of which are run by Democrats, joined a lawsuit against Texas seeking to strike down the law, which was passed by the Republican-controlled Legislature and signed by the Republican governor, Greg Abbott, in May.
In his ruling issued Wednesday evening, the judge, Orlando L. Garcia of United States District Court for…

- 2019 Acura RLX
- Interior
Part of what makes the 2019 Acura RLX a good value is its abundance of standard amenities. Supple perforated leather upholstery covers the cushy seats, and there's enough room for four adults. Luggage space is sparse, however, and the complicated infotainment system takes a while to get used to.
The RLX seats five on standard leather upholstery. Heated, 12-way power-adjustable front seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel are also standard. Upgrades for the RLX Hybrid include ventilated front seats, heated outboard rear seats, a heated steering wheel, a power rear-window sunshade, and manual rear-door sunshades.
The front seats are spacious and comfortable. Two adults can sit comfortably in the back seat, thanks to ample legroom and nicely shaped, supportive cushions. However, a large hump takes up most of the legroom for the middle passenger.
For child safety seats, the RLX comes with three tether anchors, all of which are clearly marked. The outboard seats both have a set of lower anchors. Though this hardware is mounted deep in the seat cushions, it doesn't take a lot of extra muscle to clip a seat in.
The infotainment system in the RLX has a complex two-screen arrangement. The system has some dated graphics and takes time to master. It earns mixed reviews from critics, in part because it lacks advanced smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. On the plus side, every RLX comes with a plethora of tech and safety features.
The standard infotainment system features an upper 8-inch display screen, a lower 7-inch touch screen, a navigation system, voice recognition, a 14-speaker audio system, satellite radio, HD Radio, a USB port, Bluetooth, and limited smartphone integration. Also standard is GPS-linked tri-zone automatic climate control, a moonroof, proximity keyless entry, and push button start.
There's also a ton of standard safety features. Forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, Traffic Jam Assist, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, road departure mitigation, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, automatic high-beam headlights, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and a multiview camera are all included.
The RLX Hybrid comes with a few additional amenities, including a premium 14-speaker Krell Audio System, front and rear parking sensors, a head-up display, and a surround-view camera.
The nonhybrid RLX has a 14.9-cubic-foot trunk, and the hybrid RLX's trunk measures 12 cubic foot. Not only does RLX have less trunk space than you'll find in most other luxury large cars, but it also has rear seats that don't fold down. There is a removable storage bin underneath the floor, but you won't find many cubbies within the RLX's cabin.

ROGER KOSTER trekked to the rain forest mainly for his children. Chase, 10, loves to see the animals; Taylor, 12, gets a kick out of the colorful birds; and Emma, 4, gasps whenever the thunder rumbles.
Not an actual rain forest, but the Rainforest Car Wash, in Lafayette, Ind. That's where Mr. Koster, who on a recent Saturday had driven 25 miles from his home in Crawfordsville, could simultaneously have his Ford Explorer buffed while his children got a whiff (or spray) of adventure.
The carwash -- that timeless symbol of America and the open road -- is getting a makeover. For decades functional at best, carwashes are now being remade as full-service entertainment -- spiffy, interactive odes to playfulness which, oh yes, also happen to clean your bumpers.
A theme carwash is to its "regular" counterparts what today's dodgeball is to the dodgeball of gym classes past: a slightly sardonic twist on an iconic idea. From riverboats to medieval castles, Mayan ruins to Formula One racetracks -- fanciful conceits are dressing up the spraying and scrubbing. An official count is hard to come by, but a growing number of independent theme washes are now in operation across the country. "The main goal is to make sure the customer's car gets clean," said Kendall Smith, owner of the Rainforest wash. "But we also want to put on a bit of a show."
Mr. Smith gives customers plenty of that. In his tunnel, a mishmash of tropical clichés are offered: fake monkeys swing, animatronic elephants spout, foliage sprouts and thunder thunders (courtesy of a few well-placed speakers) while soapy "rain" spatters hoods and lathers windshields as customers sit in their cars. Outside, waterfalls flow over ersatz Mayan ruins while a 5-foot stone-face statue rolls its bloodshot eyes and bellows, "Don't feed the animals."
Like other theme carwashes, the Rainforest is both sly homage and silly amusement park ride, commercial art and family attraction. Thirteen dollars, for instance, will buy the "crocodile wash," including a tire shine and an application of a rust inhibitor, as well as a triple coat of crocodile wax.
At one time, the conveyor carwash, which pulls a car through a tunnel while it is washed, waxed and buffed by machinery, was the industry's dominant model. But although the total number of washes in the United States has increased over the last decade (they now number about 90,000, according to the International Carwash Association), conveyor washes are getting scarce. Instead, coin-operated do-it-yourself washes have proliferated, and today conveyors account for only about 20 percent of carwashes nationally.
The theme washes are an attempt to stop the slide. "We want people to be lured by the theme but come back for the clean car," said Juli Jacobs, who, with her husband Keith, owns Grand Prix Carwashes, in the Chicago suburbs of Deerfield and Buffalo Grove. They and other carwash owners say they're trying to make the carwash a destination again, a throwback to a time when taking the family car to be cleaned was a Saturday morning ritual.
"What's happening here mirrors what's happening in so many industries," said Mark Thorsby, executive director of the International Carwash Association. "It's not just enough to offer good value at a fair price. You have to offer an experience."
WITH its automated belts, timed fountains and swaying brushes -- evoking the midcentury notion that machines would one day take over all our chores -- a conveyor carwash is an odd convention, a mix of technology that's both modern and dated. Yet the theme washes play on the same notion of virtual entertainment used by any cutting-edge theme park or video game: They make you feel as if you are somewhere (or someone) you're not.
At the Mount Maya Car Wash, in Brewster, N.Y., stone totems at the end of the tunnel lend the feel of an archaeological dig. At the Castle Car Wash in Long Beach, Calif., medieval walls surround the wash and a large shield tops the entrance, reminding customers of the days when King Arthur would attend to his own mode of transport. And at Grand Prix, Ms. Jacobs's wash, customers wander a corridor filled with video screens showing car-race scenes, browse a shop decorated with tires and nosecones of Formula One cars and admire the race-worn uniform of Michael Andretti. Drivers who opt for detailing pull into an area where workers in pit-crew shirts rush over and start scrubbing furiously. The effect of all this is to make you feel as if you're competing in a race yourself -- even if it's just to get home before the children's band practice.
In a move worthy of Nascar, Ms. Jacobs sold space on the pit-crew shirts worn by staff to dozens of local businesses. More than a dozen advertisers pay nearly $2,000 each a year for the privilege of having their logos on the shirts.
The first theme wash opened in 1972. Marty Dorsa, an entrepreneur in the Northern California town of Campbell, wanted to build a carwash in a lot that was too narrow for the standard tunnel. His solution: a long, skinny two-story wash in the shape of a steamboat. He then added portholes, poles and hissing steam and christened it the Delta Queen. It remains open today, along with a second wash Mr. Dorsa built in 1977 with an unlikely farm theme, including apricot trees, several kinds of barnyard fowl and a broad porch where customers relax while their cars are cleaned.
But the theme concept has evolved noticeably over the last few years, and today's theme washes are likely to be run by savvy marketers who have spent money on research. Indeed, Mr. Smith said he had spent $1.5 million developing the Rainforest theme, traveling to ruins and rain forests in Belize and Mexico to take pictures, then spending months consulting with designers, all with extreme secrecy. (The carwash business is, oddly, rife with espionage; theme owners say they sometimes catch competitors surreptitiously snapping photos.)
That effort is appreciated by customers, if sometimes only incidentally. On a Saturday morning in July, Jennifer Hickle had driven her Trailblazer over to Rainforest with her 8-year-old son, Brett, "mainly to get the car clean" but, she said, turning to him in the back seat, "to see the animals, too."
At heart, a theme carwash is both unadulterated business and roadside art that, like many kinds of art, jolts people when they are least expecting it.
Sitting in a vast mall where shoppers scurry to Sears and Kohl's, the Rainforest wash eloquently makes that point. The scene is pure strip-mall Americana, but with the wash's hovering macaws and elaborate mix of plastic and real jungle foliage, it also gently suggests the kind of weirdness that can sprout on an American roadside. "People who see us ask: 'What kind of tropical foliage can survive in Indiana?' " Mr. Smith said, laughing. "We had so much we had to cut it down." He added: "We're trying to be a little unusual. We want people to notice us. But we also want them to see the carwash."

SHANE HORGAN BELIEVES this Saturday's Pro14 encounter at the Aviva Stadium will provide Leinster and Munster with the perfect barometer ahead of Champions Cup kick-off the following weekend.
The former Ireland international remains uncertain as to whether either province has progressed from last season, with both enduring sobering ends to their seasons both at home and on the continent.
With another week under his belt since his return in Leinster's lackluster victory over Edinburgh on Friday, Johnny Sexton's influence will unsurprisingly be key to the eastern province's chances at the weekend, says Horgan, who hasn't been particularly impressed by the 32-year-old's understudies thus far this campaign.
"It's hard to get a gauge on how either of these two teams are going," Horgan tells The42. "I've seen a lot of Leinster so far this year, and at times I've thought they were good, but other times I've thought, 'this is really off the pace.'
"A lot of it is a reflection on who's actually playing. With [Johnny] Sexton back – and look, we always come back to the Sexton thing – but it does make a massive difference. The difference, I think, is that for any of the other Leinster 10s, they can play flat-ish to the line, but they tend to do it only when the pack are very dominant.
When that isn't the case, and when they're under a bit of pressure, then they actually sit back – almost subconsciously – because they need a little bit more time. It's difficult, even the best 10s can do that, but at the moment for Leinster, at 10 – and 12, actually – they just take that little bit too much time. They're more comfortable, they catch the ball with more ease, but it stagnates their attack. When Leinster do that, I think they look really, really average.
Horgan continues: "But the reason that the 10 is in that position is because the forwards haven't been dominant enough. And they haven't – look at the Cheetahs game that they were expected to win. They were under serious pressure at scrum-time which you wouldn't expect, they were second-best at lineout as well, and that had knock-on consequences. Going into this match with Munster, we'll see where the forward pack is as a collective.
"Sexton is very, very, very comfortable playing incredibly flat, and is so proficient at identifying the player that he wants to hold on the inside – that's an incredible skill. That's when I think Leinster are at their best, and at their most fun to watch."
The former winger sees similarities in Munster's offensive tendencies, particularly at out-half, but is quick to point out that for all the dissections and discourse thus far, the early stages of the season are somewhat of an anomaly.
Saturday, then, will be an acid test as both sides raise their games both as units and individual players, with Champions Cup and November internationals around the corner.
"There's an element of that to Munster's game as well," Horgan says. "When the Munster pack is dominant, you'll find the Munster 10 very flat. But it's not as key to the style that they're trying to play, relative to Leinster.
"We're seeing them certainly wanting to put some width on the ball, but I think it's not as often off first phase.
"I'm interested to see how this plays out for Munster. It's difficult, this early part of the season. It's kind of like a phony war, isn't it? It's like it's not really happening. And then this is it – this game at the weekend: 'We're all on here, we're all focused on it.' And it's not just due to the rivalry between the two teams, but it's also the game where Joe Schmidt is thinking, 'who am I picking in these tight positions?'
"There are loads of guys who'll have their position nailed down, pretty much, but there are others who'll be thinking, 'if I get one over on my man here, then I'm in the box seat.' And rightly so."
With Springboks forwards and attack coach Johann van Graan reportedly poised to replace his compatriot as director of rugby at Thomond, Horgan spies a chance for Munster to build upon the bedrock put in place by the departing Rassie Erasmus – not only for Van Graan, however, but for Munster's existing coaching infrastructure.
Horgan is of the opinion that Erasmus instilled a long-missing belief in his charges following his arrival last year, but that the task of elevating Munster back to European contender status might best be achieved with fresh impetus – be it from their new South African DOR, their young and ambitious backroom staff, or a combination of both.
"I'm unsure as to whether Munster have progressed or not, or whether they have taken the correct learnings from the tail-end of last season, which was incredibly disappointing I thought – incredibly mundane performances and an inability to act or change things up," he says.
"Felix Jones is a kind of forward-thinking coach, very analytical, and that was the kind of thing that didn't tally with me towards the end of last season. He's an analytical coach that would recognise how you break down a defence. But it just didn't tally with what I was seeing on the field at all.
So I was wondering if, in some ways, losing some of that Erasmus influence might not necessarily be a bad thing.
Jones and Jerry Flannery are both young, they're both considered, both analytical. It strikes me as a big opportunity for them, and because the other element to that team has already been regenerated, you've got the opportunity to kick on.
"What Erasmus has done is he's gotten them to a point emotionally and physically to a pitch that they hadn't been", Horgan adds, "and restored a belief that seemed to have dissipated in recent years. That came back. So they're at this starting point from which they can move on.
What we saw at the end of last season was these emotional performances aren't enough – they're not even nearly enough. Whereas I think with Leinster last season, it was almost the reverse: their last game against the Scarlets, they weren't to the pitch of that game emotionally. It was almost like they were tactically trying to underpin something, but without that emotional or mental edge, it was like putting the cart before the horse. If you don't have that side of things, everything else doesn't matter.
Horgan believes that on Saturday, we'll learn a lot about both sides, and in particular as to how they intend to build upon the soild foundations of last season.
By Sunday, he feels we'll have an idea as to whether either province can this season go a step further in Europe.
"It'll be interesting to see how both teams re-balance at the weekend, because if you looked at Leinster's defeat to Clermont last year, that would have brought you down one line of thinking. Some of the most exciting rugby – what a game that was. I thought we were seeing the rebirth of Leinster after three fallow years where they hadn't won anything. And bear in mind, any longer and it's a concern. They have to deliver this year.
"But then the Scarlets game in the Pro12 almost flipped things on their head again.
"Were Leinster better last year than they were the year before? I think so. What level have they started this year? Maybe par, but probably not even. They shouldn't have lost that Cheetahs game. This next week is really, really crucial for them with the Champions Cup to come."

As mentioned in last week's blog and as promised two class members have written their account of the week to add to the blog. Amber and Ameena have worked collaboratively and I shall post their edition after the few bits I have.
I have spoken with the children and all should have a folder of two things that I will be putting as homework - mental arithmetic and 60 second reads with comprehension questions. We have spoken a great deal about how we need to get ourselves organised and that includes about how we share out tasks during the week. I have also explained and modelled the expectations to them as well. The children are aiming to be more responsible for their activites and this will also help prepare them for moving on in the future. If any problems we can share these on Monday 10th when I shall be seeing you all for the Yr 6 parent appointment. As many of you know me I shall try to keep to the 10 min appointment slots as best as I can.
Next week is of course wellbeing week, as you will have seen from the newsletter. An exciting week ahead and also a busy one for the members of Class 6 who are part of Wellbeing Crew but I know they will be very supportive to Miss Gale. From the nurses visit just last week a really good website was recommended to the children which was www.healthforkids.co.uk.
Hope to see you all on Monday and do remember it is for both parent and child. Have a great week and now over to the girls for their section.
On Monday this week, in Geography we were looking at a coastal disaster from a few years ago. The Holbeck Hotel disaster, where we found a garden was there and the following day was gone alongside the East Wing of the hotel. Coastal erosion can be a huge problem as we saw. We took the opportunity to write a news report or write a letter of complaint to the council to see who was to blame for such a terrible incident.
On Tuesday we were looking at micro-organisms and have started preparing for a science investigation based on 'What does yeast like to eat?'
We did a variety of maths, comprehension and english today. In maths this took to a SATs style paper. This was not assessment week but should get us ready for it after half term. The more familiar we are the better the mindset for learning and if we have any gaps we can get some support.
On Thursday this week in R.E we had to compare Good Friday and Easter Sunday hymns. We listened to a range of them; some we knew and others were new. From the lyrics we had to suggest why they were sung on certain days or times of the service. We also spoke about different denominations within Christianity and what we could identify from pictures.
We watched a short film today entitled' Lighthouse'. This was appropriate since we have been working on coastal geography and also reading Kensuke's Kingdom. A lot of our written learning took place around a journalistic feel. Not only this but identifying informal and formal language, direct speech and report writing (headlines and orientations).
Reminder parents evening on Monday!
By Amber and Ameena
Thank you to Class 6 for a great week and see you on Monday and the last week before half term.

The association of cancer with hormones is well known and long-documented. For example, sex hormones are known to affect breast as well as prostate cancers. This association has generated several effective therapeutic agents e.g. the estrogen-lowering drug Femara used in breast cancer and many others.
A recent discovery of yet another such association has opened the door for a new therapeutic approach. This broader association sheds lights the impact of thyroxine on a long list of aggressive cancers including GBM, lung and many others as well as metastases. Interestingly, this discovery has offered an explanation to numerous previously unexplained medical observations.
Musli's technology harnesses this discovery to offer a novel therapeutic approach of thyroxine deprivation. Musli's fixed-dose combination therapy effectively induces hypothyroxinemia with promising preliminary oncological results.

Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley Hold Berkeley Fire Research Workshop (May 9, 2019)
May 10, 2019:
Environmental scientists and engineers came together at a workshop to share research taking place across Berkeley relevant to "Fire in the Environment." The workshop covered a range of key topics, including the expected impact of climate change on future fires; wildfire as a natural part of California's environment; and cutting-edge technologies that can assist with detecting, modeling, and mapping fires, and enhancing our ability to co-exist with future fires. Event was held on Thursday, May 9, 2019 (Berkeley Fire Research Workshop Webpage and Agenda).
There could be an app for detecting wildfires
April 4, 2019:
(Capital Public Radio Online, By Ezra David Romero, April 26, 2019): Geography professor Jeffrey Chambers has modeled a computer program to help California quickly detect wildfires, inspired by real-time data (including satellite photographs taken of the state every five minutes) during the devastating Camp Fire last November, and decided it was just a matter of developing an app that could use the tools available to quickly spot fires and alert emergency responders.

Small Kitchen Carts And Islands - Kitchen carts really are a fantastic space saver in the kitchen. In a smaller kitchen that doesn't have an island; a kitchen cart can serve as an island. Houses and little flats may not get a large open kitchen space that can place an island. The best part concerning the carts is they are movable. It isn't a devotion such as an island.
There are wooden and metal kitchen carts. Most of the major department that carries a kitchen and housewares department carry the handcarts. He handcarts with the thick wooden block is known as a kitchen cart with a butcher's block. Some kitchen carts may be used for to support the microwave. There's a cart that is largely storage and sits in the corner.
If all the cupboards are full of pots, pans, along with the newest kitchen gadgets, then you definitely could be running out of storage. A kitchen cart can solve the storage problem in a cramped kitchen. The added counter space may be used to prepare meals. The drawers and cupboards underneath add extra space for just about any kitchen pack rat. This could make room.
Want to remodel but at half the price? There are still cards that have granite counters. Kitchen cabinets can be a pricey upgrade but with the putting of a kitchen cart, an old kitchen cart is created new. There are several little circular handcarts which can be called serving carts. These carts are ideal for celebrations. They may hold multiple items in a large gathering and have two ledges. There are still little handcarts with wine racks at the base. The carts come in all types of wood, shades, shapes and sizes. They region interior designers dream in a little space.

My name is Peter McDonnell, welcome to my website.
I'm based in Leeds, West Yorkshire and have over 20 years experience in designing and building very individual wooden Georgian door surrounds, wooden door canopies and gallows brackets. I offer a personal bespoke service, supplying to the DIY person or self builder who needs that "non standard door canopy design". All my made to measure kits are built in softwood, using traditional methods. They are all straightforward to assemble, fit and finish.
I also have a selection of ready made door canopy kits for sale on ebay (see the link lower down this page). These cost a lot less than made to measure door canopy kits. They are all in stock, ready for immediate collection or delivery across the UK.
Your door canopy or door surround is one of the first things visitors see, part of that important first impression and should compliment the look of your home. Too many houses are let down in this area I think, by having the wrong canopy design fitted, making it look out of place or by simply having no door canopy or door surround at all.
Take a look at my "previous builds galleries" for the many examples of the wooden Georgian door surrounds, door canopy kits and gallows brackets I've supplied around the UK, with one in France and another in Germany. I even have one covering a dog flap in Wales !! I've also posted some pictures of other peoples door canopies and door surrounds, just to give you some design ideas, for your own project.
If you have any questions, let me know.
My aim is to give a bespoke personal service, from first enquiry through to order completion and delivery. Help and advice is always available, even after you have fitted & finished your door canopy kit. I specialize in quoting to build to your individual design specification or replicate an existing door canopy, door surround or gallows bracket supports.
Please note, none of my door canopy kits are made from glass reinforced plastic (GRP) or plastic (PVC). They are all made from softwood and do take more time to design, build and deliver. Bear this in mind if you are comparing prices, as plastic canopies will always be cheaper. Importantly though, all my timber door canopies are individual to you and not mass produced by machines.
Once you have placed an order and paid your deposit, I'll then work on and provide you with the design drawing. When all the details have been confirmed, next comes the construction phase. The photos below show the simple process, with the last photograph showing a typical door canopy kit finished and ready for dispatch. If you wish, you can arrange a courier yourself, collect from me in Leeds or let me arrange delivery for you. For smaller, one piece door canopies or gallows brackets, I can send them via Parcelforce 48 in the UK.
Typical build/lead times from order can be around 6 to 8 weeks, depending on the work I have on at the time. But I will always endeavour to finish your order as soon as possible. Please see my "business information page" for further details. All my wooden door canopy kits, Georgian door surround kits and gallows brackets are handmade, using sound traditional construction methods.
Please click below for details of the typical starting prices of made to measure canopy kits.
I also have a small selection of handmade wooden door canopy kits for sale on ebay. They cost a lot less than a made to measure door canopy kits and are a straightforward DIY project to fit, then finish. They are all in stock, ready for immediate collection or delivery, across the UK.
Click on the ebay link below, then browse all the canopy kits from there.
Please feel free to ask any questions....
I may be able to help with your timber door canopy or Georgian door surround repair & restoration project, if you are local to me, send me full details and a few photos. Below are some examples of the projects I've undertaken, with a
selection of before and after photographs. After a site survey, I will always confirm the details of any work required in a free, no obligation quote.
Any questions, just ask.

accurate and intense in truth as words can be, but they nevei show the slightest feeling of anything animated in the ocean. Black or clear, monstrous or violet-colored, cold salt water it is always, and nothing but that.
And thus, in full, there are four classes; the men who feet nothing, and therefore see truly; the men who feel strongly, think weakly, and see untruly (second order of poets); the men who feel strongly, think strongly, and see truly (first order of poets); and the men who, strong as human creatures can be, are yet submitted to influences stronger than they, and see in a sort untruly, because what they see is inconceivably above them. This last is the usual condition of prophetic inspiration.
I separate these classes, in order that their character may be clearly understood; but of course they are united each to the other by imperceptible transitions, and the same mind, according to the influences to which it is subjected, passes at different times into the various states. Still, the difference between the great and less man is, on the whole, chiefly in this point of alterability. That is to say, the one knows too much, and perceives and feels too much of the past and future, and of all things beside and around that which immediately affects him, to be in any wise shaken by it. His mind is made up; his thoughts have an accustomed current; his ways are steadfast; it is not this or that new sight which will at once unbalance him. He is tender to impression at the surface, like a rock with deep moss upon it; but there is too much mass of him to be moved. The smaller man, with the same degree of sensibility, is at once carried off his feet; he wants to do something he did not want to do before; he views all the universe in a new light through his tears; he is gay or enthusiastic, melancholy or passionate, as things come and go to him. Therefore the high creative poet might even be thought, to a great extent, impassive (as shallow people think Dante stern), receiving indeed all feelings to the full, but having a great centre of reflection and knowledge in which he stands serene, and watches the feeling, as it were, from far ofF.
Dante, in his most intense moods, has entire command of himself, and can look around calmly, at all moments, for the image or the word that will best tell what he sees to the upper or lower world. But Keats and Tennyson, and the poets of the second order, are generally themselves subdued by the feelings under which they write, or at least, write as choosing to be so, and therefore admit certain expressions and modes of thought which are in some sort diseased or false.
Now so long as we see that the feeling is true, we pardon, or are even pleased by, the confessed fallacy of sight which it induces. But the moment the mind of the speaker becomes cold, that moment every such expression becomes untrue, as being for ever untrue in the external facts. And there is no greater baseness in literature than the habit of using these metaphorical expressions in cool blood. An inspired writer, in full impetuosity of passion, may speak wisely and truly of "raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame;" but it is only the basest writer who cannot speak of the sea without talking of "raging waves," "remorseless floods," "ravenous billows," &o.; and it is one of the signs of the highest power in a writer to check all such habits of thought, and to keep his eyes fixed firmly on the pure fact, out of which if any feeling aomes to him or his reader, he knows it must be a true one.
To keep to the waves, I forget who it is who represents a man in despair, desiring that his body may be cast into the sea,
"Whose c/i mging mound, and foam thai passed away,
Observe, there is not a single false, or even overcl.arged, expression. "Mound" of the sea wave is perfectly simple and true; "changing" is as familiar as may he; '* foam that passed away," strictly literal; and the whole line descriptive of the reality with a degree of accuracy which I know not any other verse, in the range of poetry, that altogether equals. For most people have not a distinct idea of the clumsiness and massiveness of a large wave. The word "wave" is used too generally of ripples and breakers, and bendings in light drapery or grass; it does not by itself convey a perfect image. But the word "mound" is heavy, large, dark, definite; there is no mistaking the kind of wave meant, nor missing the sight of it. Then the term "changing" has a peculiar force also. Most people think of waves as rising and falling. But if they look at the sea carefully, they will perceive that the waves do not rise and fall. They change. Change both place and form, but they do not fall; one wave goes on, and on, and still on; now lower, now higher, now tossing its mane like a horse, now building itself together like a wall, now shaking, now steady, but still the same wave, till at last it seems struck by something, and changes, one knows not how,—becomes another wave.
The close of the line insists on this image, and paints it still more perfectly,—" foam that passed away." Not merely melting, disappearing, but passing on, out of sight, on the career of the wave. Then, having put the absolute ocean fact as far as he may before our eyes, the poet leaves us to feel about it as we may, and to trace for ourselves the opposite fact,—the image of the green mounds that do not change, and the white and written stones that do not pass away; and thence to follow out also the associated images of the calm life with the quiet grave, and the despairing life with the fading foam;—
"Let no man move his bones."
But nothing of this is actually told or pointed out, and the expressions, as they stand, are perfectly severe and accurate, utterly uninfluenced by the firmly governed emotion of the writer. Even the word "mock" is hardly an exception, as it may stand merely for "deceive" or "defeat," without implying any impersonation of the waves.
It may be well, perhaps, to give an instance to show the peculiar dignity possessed by all passages which limit their expression to the pure fact, and leave the hearer to gather what he can from it. Here is a notable one from the Iliad. Helen, looking from the Seaman gate of Troy over the Grecian host, and telling Priam the names of its captains, says at last:—
"I see all the other dark-eyed Greeks; but two I cannot see,—Castor and Pollux,—whom one mother bore with me. Have they not followed from fair Lacedaimon, or have they indeed come in their sea-wandering ships, but now will not enter into the battle of men, fearing the shame and the scorn that is in me?"
Then Homer:—
"So she spoke. But them, already, the life-giving earth possessed, there in Lacedsemon, in the dear fatherland."
Note, here, the high poetical truth carried to the extreme. The poet has to speak of the earth in sadness, but he will not let the sadness affect or change his thoughts of it. No; though Castor and Pollux be dead, yet the earth is our mother still, fruitful, life-giving. These are the facts of the thing. I see nothing else than these. Make what you will of them.
Take another very notable instance from Casimir de la Vigne's terrible ballad, "La Toilette de Constance." I must quote a few lines out of it here and there, to enable the reader who has not the book by him to understand its close.
"Vite, Anna, vite; au miroir
Plus vite, Anna. L'heure s'avance,
Y pensez vous, ils sont fanés, ces nœuds,
Que du réseau qui retient mes cheveux
Plus hautI Plus bas! Vous ne comprenez rienI
Vous me piquez, mal-adroite. Ah, c'est bien, Bien,—chère Anna! Je t'aime, je suis belle.
Celui qu'en vain je voudrais oublier
(Anna, ma robe) il y sera, j'espère. (Ah, fi, profane, est-ce là mon collier?
Quoi! ces grains d'or bénits par le Saint Pèro I) Il y sera; Dieu, s'il pressait ma main
En y pensant, à peine je respire: Père Anselmo doit m'entendre demain,
Comment ferai-je, Anna, pour tout lui dire?
Vite, un coup d'oeil au miroir,
Qu'on va m'adorer ce soir
Chez l'ambassadeur de France.
Près du foyer, Constance s'admirait.
Dieu! sur sa robe il vole une étincelle I Au feu. Courez; Quand l'espoir l'enivrait
Tout perdre ainsi 1 Quoil Mourir,—et si belle! L'horrible feu ronge avec volupté
Ses bras, sou sein, et l'entoure, et s'élève, Et sans pitié dévore sa beauté,
Ses dixhuit ans, hélas, et son doux rêve I
