It is now possible to edit and customize the keyboard shortcuts for the majority of the PitStop Pro menu items. The shortcut configuration functionality can be found within the PitStop Pro preferences.
The user can create multiple sets of shortcuts on the same computer and 'apply' the one they wish to use. The applied shortcut set is then displayed. The idea behind this is that different operators can have different shortcut sets on the same computer if they wish.
Operation is straightforward, select the menu item for which you want the shortcut, then use the buttons at the bottom of the panel to define the new shortcut you want.
The interface will guide you and display a warning if the desired shortcut is already in use. Once you have defined all your new shortcuts you can 'save and apply'.
Shortcut sets can be imported and exported, but they are not cross-platform. Care should also be taken when importing shortcut sets from different versions of Acrobat.
The Align and Distribute tools we released in PitStop Pro 12 have had some new functionality added to them.
It is now possible to Align and Distribute the selected object(s) based on a PDF page box. There is a dropdown that allows you to select if the Align/Distribute should be based on a selection or on a PDF page box.
PitStop Pro and Server now support JPEG 2000 as a compression option. You will see this option available wherever you can select a compression algorithm. This includes the Preflight Profile editor, Global Changes and Actions.
All the rasterizing functionality in PitStop Pro and PitStop Server now supports anti-aliasing which increases the quality of the created image. This impacts mainly the Actions 'Replace Page by Bitmap', 'Rasterize Page Content, keeping text'. This quality improvement is particularly important for the repurposing for tablet Preflight Profiles.

We have improved the way that PitStop Pro edits objects. In previous versions if you wanted to carry out functions such as rotating, scaling or skewing objects you had to select different tool buttons. This was not particularly user friendly and created extra mouse clicks.
With PitStop Pro 12 update 2 you now have the ability to make these kind of changes without selecting any new tools. If you move your mouse to the control points of an object(s) or group, new icons will appear indicating that you are able to scale, rotate and skew. Holding down the 'shift' key means the objects will be scaled in proportion. Holding down the 'alt' key means the object will be scaled from the centre.
Below you can see a screenshot with a composite of all the new options shown.
The PDF format has a page size limit of 200 x 200 inches, which is fine for most printing applications but for some, such as large format, there is a requirement to be able to produce larger documents. That's where Page Scaling factor comes in.
Page Scaling factor was introduced in PDF 1.6 and allows the size of a 'unit' to be increased to produce pages larger than 200 x 200 inches. So, for instance if I had a MediaBox of 150 x 150 inches in Acrobat, if the Page Scaling factor was set to '2' the MediaBox will then be shown as 300 x 300 inches, if the Page Scaling factor was '3' the MediaBox would then be shown as 450 x 450 inches.
PitStop now supports Page Scaling factor and if they are present shows them in the Inspector. All PitStop Actions are aware of Page Scaling Factor, and behave correctly.
The Inspector allows you to see the 'Defined Values' which are defined page size without Page Scaling factor, and the 'Effective Values' which are the page sizes with the Page Scaling factorss applied. Please see the screenshots below for a 200 x 200 inch page with a Page Scaling factor value of '4'.
The brightness / contrast and unsharp masking options that were released with PitStop Pro 12 now gain a new button to revert the settings to default.
We have added the ability to use Regular Expressions in Action Lists. This is not across the board, we have only added them where we believe this new functionality makes sense.
The list of Actions that now support RegEx are:
In all cases we only offer the regular expressions in the "equal" or "not equal" option as this doesn't make sense combining with "contains" options. "Contains" does the same as 'equal to regular expression .*searchstring.*'. So offering regular expressions combined with "containing" would actually break the regular expression.
As you can see from the screenshot the use of Regular Expressions needs to be enabled in the Action before use.
PitStop supports Boost Regular Expressions. For the full range of options please go to:http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_47_0/libs/regex/doc/html/boost_regex/syntax/perl_syntax.html
This new Global Change is an extension of the curves functionality that we added in PitStop Pro 12, but it works on channels/separations.
Default options are C, M, Y, K and 'Other'. 'Other' means all other separations in the file apart from CMYK, so you can set a curve to work on all additional separations.
If you want a particular curve for another spot color or varnish separation, you can add specific colors by using the '+' button and then picking one of the options.
You can then define a curve for that named color that will be used if the color is in the processed PDF file. You may also want to ensure certain colors such as varnishes keep a straight linear curve and are not adjusted, or you may want to apply certain curves to specific colors. All these scenarios are possible.
This action allows color curves to be applied on separations of selected objects.
The default separations are C, M, Y, K and 'Other'. 'Other' meaning all other separations in the file except CMYK.
If you want a particular curve for another spot color or varnish separation, you can add specific colors by using the '+' button and then picking one of the options.
You can then define a curve for that named color that will be used if the color appears in the processed file.
You may also want to ensure certain colors such as varnishes keep a straight linear curve and are not adjusted or you may want to apply certain curves to specific colors. All these scenarios are possible.
This action allows color curves to be applied to selected CMYK objects, either on all 4 channels, or on individual C, M, Y, or K channels.
This action allows color curves to be applied to selected RGB objects, either on all 3 channels, or on individual R, G, or B channels.
This action allows color curves to be applied to selected Lab objects, either on individual Lightness, a* or b* channels.
This action allows color curves to be applied to selected Gray objects.
This new action allows the initial view settings of a PDF to be set or adjusted. The initial view is the way that the PDF appears when it is opened in Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader, this also includes opening within a browser.
This new action allows the names of color separations to be generated and positioned within a PDF file.
There are several options as to how the separations will appear.
You can have the Separation names in color, stacked or in a line
You also have the option to have the Separation names in black with a color patch, stacked or in a line
The separation names are individually created for each page and will show all separations including any spot colors.
As you can see from the options below there is a significant amount of control for positioning, font and font size as well as ignoring process colors and separations with 0%.
The PitStop Server configurator has been completely re-written and is now installed with PitStop Server.
The new configurator is now specific to the PitStop Server version. When you install PitStop Server, the configurator will be written to a specific folder in Switch and will override the normal configurator that is installed with Switch.
To use PitStop Server 12 update 2 you must be running Switch 12 or higher, previous copies of Switch do not support the full functionality of this new PitStop Server version.
The new configurator is much smaller and more efficient than the old one.
The new configurator resolves a lot of the stability issues that some users were experiencing with the older version especially when running on multi-processor machines.
If you run the PitStop Server application while processing files through Switch and the PitStop Server configurator, PitStop Server will now show you the files that the configurator is processing.
It is a nice tool to use if you wonder which files are being processed, want to check that a large file is still processing or if you want to generate statistics about these files.
If you are running your PitStop Server with both Switch and PitStop Server hotfolder input then you should be aware that rush jobs now take priority. The impact of this depends upon how many external processes you have configured in Switch and how many processors you have running in PitStop Server. If these two numbers are the same, or the number of concurrent jobs in PitStop Server is smaller than the number of jobs in Switch, then it is possible that your hotfolder jobs will not start until the rush jobs have finished processing.
We now also include the Adobe RGB ICC profiles in our installer. As a result we have changed some of the default color profiles. The CMYK default is now the ECI ISO Coated V2 profile, and the RGB default is the Adobe RGB 1998.
As a result of this change the 'Generic Enfocus CMYK' no longer exists, it now reverts to its original name which is 'Fuji generic CMYK'. The same applies to the 'Generic Enfocus RGB' which now reverts to 'Fuji Generic RGB'.
If users still wish to use the old 'Generic Enfocus' profiles they should ensure the 'Fuji Generic' profiles are selected.
Existing hotfolders using generic ICC profiles will not change.
This option was created as a short-term solution to the problem that some of the PitStop shortcuts clashed with required keystrokes in certain languages. Now that we have user definable shortcuts these can be used to overcome this issue, so we have removed the option as it is redundant.
The Little CMS version has been upgraded to version 2.5, which fixes bugs and adds many improvements, including the new black point compensation algorithm, actually being standardized by ISO and ICC.
Workgroup Manager now displays the computer name, IP address, and port number of the Workgroup Manager Server.

Advising the Adult Learner: Helping Corporate Employees Maximize Tuition Assistance
Tuition Assistance Programs (TAP) are a great benefit for Adult Learners who work in corporations. Those employees can take advantage of $3000 or more per year, reimbursed by their company. But many employees find it frustrating to return to college and do not take advantage of their tuition reimbursement provided by the company.
Some of the main reasons why corporate employees are not using their tuition assistance programs are:
• Finishing a degree will take too much time
• Many colleges are too expensive, and even with tuition assistance, there is still money out-of-pocket
• It is difficult for some employees to know where to start or how to select the best college or major
• College terms such as Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) and Credit by Examination (CBE) are confusing and employee are unsure if these programs apply to them.
• Corporate employees get frustrated by aggressive marketing from For-Profit Colleges.
Hiring an Independent Academic Advisor or an Educational Management company with Academic Advisors can help overcome these barriers to education and help the employees select the best college, focused on their goals, background and skills and within the company's Tuition Assistance guidelines. Here are some of the ways that Academic Advisors can save time off a degree plan, save tuition dollars for the company and set up a reasonable Path to Graduation for the employee.
Independent Academic Advisors:
• Are not tied to any college or university, so can make independent recommendations to help the employee save time and help the company save money.
• Can look at the employees' life and work experience, licenses, certificates, military and corporate training to select schools that will use this Prior Learning for college credits.
• Will recommend colleges and universities that stay within the Tuition Assistance maximum reimbursement per year.
• Help employees stay within their financial means and not get into Education Debt.
• Have experience in Educational settings or corporate Training and Development and have advanced degrees. Some have experience as Career Counselors or College Finance Advisors.
Educational Advising may include:
• Aligning degree plan to Career Development
• Assessment to help narrow down Major and Concentration area
• Outline prerequisites and find less expensive options for these courses
• Compare Online degrees to On-campus degrees
• Overview Admission process and Admission tests
• Cost and time comparisons of colleges
• Transcript and military evaluation
• Educational Evaluation
Independent Academic Advisors can help employees find the best path to graduation, while cutting costs to the corporation. These Academic Advisors can be a powerful tool to any Tuition Assistance Program. Some of the companies that provide independent academic advisors are EduPlan ( http://www.eduplan.org ), Starr Career Services and Tuition Advisory Services.
Dr. Sandy Womack is Director of EduPlan, an educational consulting company specializing in educational counseling for working professionals, tuition reimbursement and managed education.http://www.eduplan.org

How do we find the right dog for us?
(29 Posts)We have been thinking of getting a dog for over a year and now seriously looking into it.
Our background:
2 dc - 7 and 5
2 cats, 2 guinea pigs
Large garden
I am a sahm so around a lot in the daytime.
I ideally like small dogs : pugs (dh says def no), cockerpoo (dh says def no), shitzu (dh says def no) cavalier king Charles (dh not keen!) you get the idea
He wants a retriever / lab type (grew up with these kinds of family dogs)
I have never had a dog before and although I Absolutely adore lots of our friends dogs and know I will love ours, I am aware I get very nervous of strange dogs and am nervous of how I will find meeting other dogs whilst walking ours, esp if it is some huge bouncy thing. I will Definately be signing upto puppy classes etc to socialise both of us!
Can anyone point me in the direction of any other breeds that might be suitable.
I was going to put up a comment about cocker spaniels but then thought better of it, as loads of people have said on here that they're highly energetic and bonkers. You could register your interest at several rescues in your area, go and see them a few times, get to know the staff and they'll keep a look out for you...which bit of UK are you in? They DO get younger dogs and puppies, more than you think, so would be worth starting to look and getting a home check done as well. Could also ask friends with dogs about how they got theirs.
Cocker spaniels aren't bonkers! Working cocker spaniels have high energy levels and need a fair amount of stimulation, but show type ones are generally pretty docile and easy-to-train. There is a big distinction between the two strains and I think show type cockers have got a bad name because of people who've bought working dogs without knowing the difference and then finding that they're unable to cope (as would be expected by getting a dog that is bred to work).
You need a medium rescue crossbreed. You will look on the internet or visit the recue centre and there will be no argument, when you meet "the right one" it will be love.
It's excellent that you're giving it so much thought and that so many people are recommending you look at rescue centres. There are specific breed rescues as well, and many of the poodle crosses need re-homing because people didn't research properly and found instead of a ball of cuddly fluff, suddenly they had a dog that needed to be trained, walked and looked after. I've had spaniels, border collie crosses, mongrels and currently have a labradoodle and a cockapoo. I love the poodle crosses, they are clever, trainable and affectionate - but, hard work so not for the fainthearted. Like your OH mine wanted a large dog, he adores the doodle, and she adores him. Hope you finally decide on the dog that's right for you - it's so good for children to grow up with dogs I believe

You have a jealousy confession? Let us about your secret und write us your jealousy story! It will be posted 100% anonymously on our page! Confess your jealousy sin – do penance!
It turns me on like crazy to imagine my man banging other women.
Im in love with one of my closest friends. She is straight and I'm not. She has a broke boyfriend who treats her like trash. I know it sounds cliché but I really would treat her so much better. I'm always the one comforting her when he hurts her emotionally and mentally. I can't help but smile every time I look at her. I'll never tell her how I feel because I can't risk her cutting me out of her life.
I have no friends, I haven't since 2012, I can't seem to find anyone around my age to hang around with (we've just moved house I'm 17, nearly 18)
I've asked for help with getting friends, but no one seems to help me.
I feel trapped in my own house, with the same people, all the time. I don't know what to do. I feel slightly depressed everyday.
I'm jealous of my own mum because she has people to talk to as I have no one.
I can't walk properly, so I can't exactly go out walking around to find friends...I get told things will get better, but I feel like every time they say that they're lying to my face because nothing ever gets better when they say that.
I don't know what to do, I feel unloved, friendless and hopeless, I'm afraid of what will happen to my mental state if I continue to feel lonely.
One day my wife drank too much and suddenly wanted to tell me a secret. I was all ears. She told me when she had a breakup with her ex, she was very depressed and sad. Her cousin brother had come to visit her . He was staying with her . She started sharing her story, one thing led to another. Both started kissing, . He started touching her thighs, and finally they ended up having sex. She admitted to giving him a blowjob and him licking her pussy. This happened over the next 2 days he stayed with her.
I want you all for myself but you love her. You won't give her up for me and it's breaking my heart. I was stupid to think I couldn't fall for you... Would've been better off not meeting you.

sidebar in keynote
Open Source: Library For Fully Functional Keynote Style Image Sidebars
If you've used Keynote then you are familiar with the image sidebar showing the different presentation slides. What's great about the sidebar is that not only does clicking on a slide change the main display, but also you can easily drag the slides around to change the order, and drag and drop to delete slides.
I've come across a library that allows you to easily add this style of sidebar (vertical or horizontal) to your apps with the same drag to rearrange, and drag and drop functionality as in Keynote.
The library is HSImageSidebarView from BJ Homer, and the Github can be found here:
Included is a sample project, and you can find instructions on the Github on how to use and customize the sidebar.

Reviews for Clostridium Botulinum |
amo273 chapter 16 . 1/26 This was delicious. I had to stop reading a few times to savor things. Some days work is a good break between reading stints. Looking forward to coming back to a good story makes a happy day for me. |
BBCandbooks chapter 1 . 10/15/2016 I LIKE IT. ANOTHER CHAPTER |
Guest chapter 13 . 6/16/2016 Omg girl his name is Gregory not Gavin. |
UnknownFanfic chapter 5 . 6/15/2016 Gregory Lestrade. Not Gavin. |
katie131925 chapter 16 . 4/19/2015 Great story :) |
Guest chapter 6 . 8/20/2014 I loved that last line! had me laughing even with all the drama happening. Though I wonder, does Mycroft really know about John being alive? I don't know why he would, he doesn't know Moriarty like Sherlock does. |
Nessa chapter 16 . 7/7/2014 I loved every word of this. I'd tell you which bits I really loved but then I'd have to quote the whole story. This took ages to read, but it was well worth it :D Well done on the awesome story :D |
Guest chapter 8 . 6/19/2014 As so many others have said, John's deduction was completely believable. At that point he knows Sherlock - especially Sherlock's more human side - better than almost (?) anyone else. And he wants to believe in Sherlock, so he'll want to interprete every possible clue that way, even though it might be coincidental (or even Sherlock deliberately trying to deceive him). I haven't read the whole story yet, but I'm with John here, considering how you described Sherlock's reaction at the crime scene. I'd write more, but I can't stop reading for that long ;) This story is great! |
becgate chapter 16 . 1/29/2014 Awesome story! ! Loved every word. ! Please keep writing ...we want to read more of your work.! ! ! Everything was just perfect ...I didn't want the story to end. |
Zellona chapter 13 . 1/18/2014 BAHAHAHA! I died when I read this chapter! Poor Lestrade! |
Resrie71 chapter 16 . 1/12/2014 I would absolutely ADORE a sequel to this! I only found this story this morning, and I think NOT reading about the chase Moriarty leads Sherlock on will drive me insane! I am a stay at home mom with two young daughters, so I am halfway there already, please don't do this to me! |
Resrie71 chapter 12 . 1/12/2014 Did you remember to get the milk and beans...perfection...I am truly living this! |
Resrie71 chapter 3 . 1/12/2014 I don't think you can go too campy with Moriarty, I can see this playing out very easily. One thing I might have Jim do is send Sherlock a recording of a flatline alarm if (when) he steps out of line at all! |
Tara Laurel chapter 8 . 11/19/2013 I don't think John's deduction was bad at all. John is intelligent and we see him notice and observe some things over the course of the show, especially when it comes to Sherlock. He knows Sherlock and therefore, I think, would be able to read the message (at least I darn well hope that it was!) |
Tara Laurel chapter 3 . 11/19/2013 I think you did a fine job with one party in the conversation not being able to talk. No, I don't think Moriarty is too camp. He is sort of unpredictable anyway. You never know exactly how he is going to react. But he is having fun with them and he seems to get more cheery and camp when he is playing one of his games. |

Medical Correspondent
The secret of male sexuality has, for centuries, eluded the best efforts of scientists - and the understanding of most women. Now Greek researchers have uncovered the basic truth; it's all about orgasms and how often men have them.
This conclusion follows a study of orgasm frequency - a reliable indicator of male sexual behaviour - among young soldiers at an Athens base. They were asked to recall the average number of orgasms they had had per week over a month.
To ensure answers were accurate and typical of the average European male, the men were told that "the total number of events rather than their mode of initiation" was the important factor. Masturbatory and spontaneous nocturnal orgasms were as relevant as those associated with intercourse.
Dr Christos Mantzoros of Harvard Medical School, who oversaw the study, said this instruction was necessary to safeguard the validity of the findings. Blood samples were taken and the levels of various hormones measured, and compared with how often the men reported orgasm.
The researchers found that one hormone, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), previously discounted by scientists, was a potent indicator of orgasm frequency. The more of it men had in their blood, the more orgasms they reported and the more sexually active they were likely to be.
The scientists report in the British Medical Journal that the hormone determining sexual behaviour in healthy adults has not yet been identified. They conclude that "dihydrotestosterone which binds more avidly with the androgen [male hormone] receptor, is the most important and perhaps only important androgen in determining male sexual behaviour as reflected in the frequency of orgasms."

Masterworks from Budapest. From the Renaissance to the Avant-Garde
From 18 February to 28 May 2017
Trained in his native city, this German painter and printmaker was taught by his father Hans, as was his brother Ambrosius. In 1515 he was in Basel where he illustrated books, an activity that allowed him to make contact with the humanists in that city, in particular Erasmus. Between 1517 and 1519 Holbein lived in Lucerne in order to work on the decoration of the private residence of the Hertenstein family. In 1519 he was once again in Basel, where he registered with the painters' guild and acquired citizenship the following year. Between 1523 and 1524 he visited France and the Low Countries. In 1526 Holbein moved to England, bringing a letter of presentation from Erasmus written to Thomas More, Lord Chancellor to Henry VIII. During this brief stay the artist produced few commissions, including a series of portraits, among them one of the Moore family. That work is now lost but is known from a drawing in the Öffentliche Kunstsammlung in Basel and from the splendid Portrait of Thomas More of 1527 (Frick Collection, New York). In 1528 Holbein was back in Basel, where he produced various works and completed the decoration of the lobby of the Town Hall that he had begun during his previous stay. However, the prevailing atmosphere in the city and the influence of the Reformation had reduced the number of commissions available. In the summer of 1532 Holbein returned to London, where he found a more promising situation. His first clients during this second trip were members of the German community. Thomas Cromwell helped the artist by introducing him to the court and Holbein was working for Henry VIII in 1536. Dating from this period are his portraits of The Ambassadors Jean de Dinteville and Georges de Selve of 1533 (National Gallery, London), of Henry VIII, of members of the court, such as Sir Richard Southwell (Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence), as well as Edward, Prince of Wales (National Gallery of Art, Washington). Holbein died of the plague in the outbreak that swept London in 1543.

What's the best way to clean my blinds?
For a range of care tips for all products visit Hillarys care tips page.
How can I clean my shutters?
Our care tips page has all the information you need to know on how to maintain your shutters.
What type of product can I get to fit my odd shaped window?
Pleated blinds can be made to almost any shape and used in roof windows too, making them a popular choice for conservatories and glass extensions. Vertical blinds can be made to fit sloped windows. Shutters are available to fit shaped, feature windows for example arched windows.
What type of product would be best for my bathroom?
You need to take extra consideration when choosing a window dressing for your bathroom. With hot showers and baths running, it is often a humid space that has special requirements. Our range of PVC Vertical blinds is perfect for the bathroom. They are water resistant, which makes them ideal in steamy environments and they are simple to clean too - just give them a wipe. Consider our Wood Illusions range if you like the look of real wood but want a reliable product for this environment that will not warp. We have recently introduced a waterproof range of shutters called Henley, specifically designed with bathrooms and wetrooms in mind.
Which type of blinds are best for my conservatory?
Our range of Pleated blinds includes special performance fabrics with sun reflective backings. These have been cleverly designed to help to keep the temperature down in the warmer summer months while retaining the heat once it starts to get cooler. Pleated blinds are ideal for the roof of your conservatory as they can be made to fit the different shaped windows. For the sides you can opt for more Pleated in a co-ordinating or contrasting colour, or choose from our full range of blind types.
My conservatory becomes quite cold during the winter. Have you any suggestions for ways of keeping it warmer?
Blinds can really help get rid of the chill in your conservatory. Not only do they look cosy but they have a practical advantage too. Our range of Pleated blinds includes specialist fabrics that help to retain the heat. You can fit Pleated into your roof and then choose from our full range of blinds for around the sides. Fully-lined Romans look warm and when pulled down, block out the outside world completely.
I have a bay window at the front of my house. What sort of product would you recommend?
Shutters look beautiful in a bay window, enhancing this lovely feature rather than hiding it.
Alternatively blinds can be fitted in a bay - Verticals can be made with a curved headrail to follow the shape of the bay. Or choose to have one blind fitted at each window - as our blinds are made-to-measure the end result should be seamless. Curtains look great in bay windows; and our tracks can be fitted to follow the shape.
I have a very sunny living room – around mid afternoon, the sun comes round and I get full sunlight in the room until it sets. This can make it blindingly bright, what would you suggest?
It would be a good idea to choose a blind that filters the light. There are several options. Vertical and Venetian blinds, including our Wood Venetian options, can be tilted to prevent direct sunlight shining into your room. Woodweave blinds create a lovely ambience by dispersing the light through the woven texture. Pleated blinds are available in a range of sheer fabrics that create a lovely glow at the windows. Shutters are another great product - tilt the louvres to allow the light in while preventing direct sunlight causing a problem
I like the idea of a blind but don't want to lose the luxurious feel of a curtain.
It sounds as though you would like a Roman blind. Made from the same soft fabrics as curtains and fully-lined too, they bring a luxurious feel to your windows.
I have a Victorian house with the original sash windows that I love. I don't want to cover up this feature. What would you suggest?
Elegant shutters are a brilliant solution for your windows. They have timeless looks that would suit your property perfectly and are practical too - blocking out the light when closed but opening fully to allow a clear view of your feature windows as well as the outside world.
My sitting room is below street level and looks out onto a passageway where the bins are stored. What can I do?
An unsightly view is best handled with a well-fitted blind. You probably want to maximise what little light you get into your room so consider a Wood Venetian blind or a Venetian or Vertical blind. These can be tilted to allow the light in while blocking the view at the same time.
Do you sell waterproof blinds?
We offer a range of Teflon™ coated and PVC blinds in our Roller and Vertical blinds ranges. Our Wood Illusions blinds are a great alternative to Wood Venetian blinds are they will not warp in damp conditions. You could also consider our Henley waterproof shutters too.
Do you sell blackout products?
We have a wide selection of blackout fabrics in our Roller blinds range including designs suitable for children's bedrooms. All our Roman blinds are available with a blackout lining, as are our curtains. Pleated blinds with special coating are available to reduce the light coming into your room.
Are your Roman blinds lined?
Yes they are. We offer a standard lining as well as a blackout lining.
What type of wood are the Wood Venetian blinds made from?
All of our Wood Venetians are made from high quality Basswood. This is perfect for this style of blind because of its strength and flexibility.
Do you sell lined curtains?
All of our curtains are lined and there are three lining choices including standard, thermal and blackout.
Which type of blinds are best for my conservatory?
Pleated blinds have been designed specifically with conservatories in mind. They can be tailored to fit the different shaped windows so often found in conservatory roofs and they are available in a range of performance fabrics that help to keep the temperature down in the summer months while retaining the heat once it starts to get cooler. For the sides consider more Pleated blinds, including those fitted into a PerfectFit frame that doesn't require drilling or screwing. The blinds become an integral part of the window, which means the window can be opened while the blind is closed - great for those really warm days.
My conservatory becomes quite cold during the winter. Have you any suggestions for ways of keeping it warmer?
Blinds can really help get rid of the chill in your conservatory. Not only do they look cosy but they have a practical advantage too. Our range of Pleated blinds includes specialist fabrics that help to retain the heat. You can fit Pleated into your roof and then choose from our full range of blinds for around the sides. Fully-lined Romans look warm and when pulled down, block out the outside world completely.
Do you offer devices for my home to keep blind operating cords out of the reach of children?
Yes - on your fitting day, your advisor will take care of installing a child safety device for you, as required by law. If you have chosen standard Roman, Venetian, Wood Venetian or free-hang Pleated blinds, this will be a cleat for the controls to be wrapped around. Or if you have plumped for Roller, Vertical or deluxe Roman blinds, this will be a hook to keep the controls taut. Cordless options such as our PerfectFit, Luxury Roller, Tab Pleated, Day & Night Transition™ and Trilite blinds do not require a child safety device as they are inherently safe by design.
We also offer free child safety devices for blinds which have already been fitted - even if you didn't buy from Hillarys. To find out more and order your free devices visit www.makeitchildsafe.co.uk.
What is the Hillarys Price Promise?

The amount of people who reached out to my family and myself in support and to share their own story truly has touched my heart. Something I never expected was messages from victims of DUI and their families saying the video helped them heal or bring closure to the void that was left in their own tragedies. The strength and forgiveness of others is what kept my own convictions in tact and gave me the ability to carry out what I had set to do.
The grand jury finally came down with my indictment 6 days after the video was released and with my dad at my side, I surrendered myself to Franklin County Correctional Center on September 9th, 2013. -Matthew Cordle

Releasing the video
I reached out to "Because I said I would" and the founder, Alex Sheen, responded immediately. He expressed his sympathy and wanted to get to know me and more about the situation before moving forward. He became somewhat of a mentor to me and more importantly, a friend that I desperately needed. He challenged me to face my feelings and warned me of possible outcomes from what we were hoping to accomplish, although I don't think either of us could have seen the impact would be made. We agreed that the best way to reach people was to share my first hand circumstances and what I had done. The video was edited and scored because the senseless loss of life deserves time and effort. The video was released on September 3rd, 2013 and within 48 hours had 2 million views. In the media craze that followed were both were contacted by every major new station, all the way up to the producers from Oprah. We really never imagined this, maybe it would make news in Columbus we had thought. Alex has been in contact with one Vincent Canzani's daughter throughout all of this. She asked that I not take part in any media interviews through the duration of the legal process and I promised I wouldnt because notoriety was not what it was about. The message of the video is what was and still is important. -Matthew Cordle
I was isolated out in a house my family owns along the river so I had a lot of time to think to myself. When my family and friends would come to check on me I usually would pretend I was preoccupied and pray they would leave quickly. I couldn't face them. I was taking my prescribed anxiety and pain medication at the time, way over the recommended amount because I didn't want to face myself. All the while the feeling that I was going down the wrong path was growing in my heart and mind. My own family seemed to be breaking under the pressure of what I had done and I began thinking that if my family feels this way, what kind of hell Vincent's family and loved ones must be going through. I couldn't shake that thought and then asked myself, what is more important, how many years I spend in prison or my life and my soul for the rest of my days? The answer was clear to me, forget the legal side of this tragedy and the right thing was simple and always right in front of me. After I told my family about my decision to simply take responsibility and plead guilty, we sought out a lawyer who was a friend of the family and I knew I could trust. They contacted the prosecutor's office and still weeks went by with no charges. A new emotion began to take hold in me and I was filled with desire to take all of this pain I had caused, and turn it into something that could hopefully open people's eyes. To see what I didn't. I knew I couldn't do it on my own and in the weak state I was in I desperately need guidance. -Matthew Cordle
Still wondering why I wasn't charged right away?
I want to continue now with some of the events that followed the crash and I will try to get back into my mindframe at the time. It may be jumbled so I ask that my sister helps by adding her point of view to explain situations better and even filling in things that I may have forgot. I may be repeating myself but the first thing after waking up I just remember seeing the faces of my family around me and I knew that what had happened was real. I'll never forget what their faces looked like, a mix of unconditoional concern but more so I could read anger and resentment in their eyes. I had tested them again and again by not being the man I should have been and I felt in that moment that I was forsaken. The emotions are simply impossible to describe but I dont think I was capable of truly grasping how much suffering I had caused and felt numb. I said many times that it felt like I was on a different planet, lost, disconnected. My sister offered to let me recover at her house and my mother had flown in to help take care of me. The first few weeks passed by in a fog. I was unsure why they hadn't charged me yet and felt despicable walking around, it seemed like people could see right through me. Fear and self-preservation were in my mind and I met with lawyers in hope of escaping prison time. The laywers wanted me in treatment, which I did, and wanted to bring in "experts" to refute the blood tests and say the procedure, testing, etc were faulty. I'm not knocking the lawyers though, it is their job to defend their client and I was the one asking them to get me out of this mess. For some reason, I still wasn't charged with the crime but I see it as fate, it gave me time to realize what I had to do. When I was in alcohol treatment, the lawyers had asked me not to reveal to much about the crash because there was a chance some of the other patients or even counselors could be subpoened. So I was in treatment to deal with these issues but I couldn't talk about them, at that point I knew the route I was taking was wrong. -Matthew Cordle
When Matt really woke up for the first time in the hospital and we were all standing around him, there were a lot of emotions. He is right in what he said and must have read it on our faces. We all love him so much it hurts, but at the same time he did something so terrible that none of us condone. My family is extremly close though and we all stick by each other no matter what. That's what family means. We realized he was going to be (physcially) okay and panic mode set in. Many family meetings happened at the hospital, my house and over the next month as we tried to figure out what to do next. I would be lying if I didn't encourage Matt to figure out a way out of this, use the law in his favor, get the most expensive lawyer. It was all for selfish reasons. We still don't know why Matt wasn't immediately arrested. Honestly after a month had gone by I seriously started to question if maybe they had forgotten? Maybe he wouldn't be arrested? I would like to think my family is well educated so we knew better…..but had we not known I would have really thought that Matt had "gotten out of this mess". Staying at my house I could see Matthew going thru many emotions. We all were. I started finding myself wanting to know more about Vincent and his family. Matt went to an outpatient rehab facility, my father drove him everyday. But hes right, it was pointless. He couldn't talk about anything, which only frustrated and angered him. After spending a few weeks at my house, he moved up to our families river house. Although he was alone….we called him everyday and my grandparents stopped by everyday to check on him. He was just in state of limbo at this point.- Sarah Alasya (sister)
Because I said I would
I want to explain something to everyone who has questions about it. Lately a lot of people have been writing to me and asking me why I chose Because I said I would to make the video with me. When I sent the message to Alex Sheen, I was already aware of the things he had done to better society and raise awareness. The most notable event was where he walked across Ohio to raise funds and awareness for the three incredible women held captive by Ariel Castro. He also raised enough money to send one hundred children with cancer to Disney World. When I saw the media surrounding these events I saw a man whose motivation wasnt notoriety or wealth but a desire to better the world. At the point I was at in dealing with my own guilt and despair, I somehow knew I could trust Alex and would defer to what he thought was best. The first time I spoke with him I knew I had placed my faith in the right person as we had a similar mindframe as to what would make an impact. I told him about the tragedy and together we came up with a plan to create awareness, prevent others and hopefully make some sort of difference so others won't choose the same path I did. We spent a short time together but we were of the same mind when it came to the video and our conviction to see the promise through. No matter what was thrown at us. It was a lifetime of emotions in a very short time and there isn't a better person I could have picked to keep me forward and help me through it. Because I said I would is trying to create a bridge to a better world.- Matthew Cordle
Lessons Learned
I received a very thoughtful card from Mr. Canzani's ex-wife. It still blows my mind of her strength and ability to forgive me after what I have done to her and her loved ones, she is truly an amazing woman. She included a photo of Vincent and I have to admit that it made my heart sink and is difficult to look at. Seeing him look so vibrant and full of life is a struggle knowing I am the one who robbed him of it but I know it is part of the healing process. I placed the photo in my photo album because in a way I feel very close to him, yet I barely know anything about him. His friends and family have graciously offered to tell me about him. This tragedy has not only saved my life, but taught me a lesson about the love and forgiveness of those who I have hurt and it shows the true strength of humanity. To those out there who may be similar to me in regards to substance abuse or mental health issues my best words of advice is to do the best you can to take care of yourself day-to-day because one moment of complacency is all it takes to lose everything….keep moving forward. -Matthew Cordle
Moving to parent prison….
I've finally moved from CRC (correctional reception center) to my parent institution at PCI (pickaway correctional institution) where I will serve my remaining time. PCI is relatively small so it is hard to comprehend spending the next several years of my life in such a confined state but I know it is something I have to endure. I am participating in a year-long alcohol and substance abuse recovery program called OASIS (Our awareness of self increases success) that will help me take a look at my actions and behaviors and how they truly effect those around me. It is a structure based environment and I am hopeful that it will enable me to confront some of the inner demons so I can lead a health and productive life. It is still very difficult to comprehend being incarcerated for 6 1/2 years but I am able to stay positive if I just focus on bettering myself day-to-day. I have an amazing support system in my family, girlfriend, and friends. I wouldn't be able to stay positive without them. Prison is mostly a mental battle with yourself daily. There is a lot of negativity; drugs, alcohol, violence, sexual violence, gang activity, and basically anything else you can imagine. Fortunately I am removed from such things in the OASIS community and stay mentally strong and aware to not give in to all of the negativity, though some days it is very difficult. – Matthew Cordle
Unusual post tonight
I was hesitant to post this letter I received from Matthew…..but now that some time has passed and currently he is in a better state of mind than when he wrote me this letter, I feel strongly that I should share it. It is real and raw. I have to post the good with the bad. Matt is extremly close with both our paternal grandparents. He lived with them and he and my grandma have a very special bond. Matthew has let the world in to see who he truly is and with that comes up and downs. This letter was written after being at CRC on 22 hour lockdown for many weeks. He is at Pickaway prison now and in a better place mentally……
Prison is no place to spend your life. Ive only been here for about four months now and I am already breaking down. Going through the holidays was rough and knowing that I have to do it many times over before I am free is an unbearable thought. I constantly remind myself why I am here but no matter how positive I try to stay, it is only a matter of time before this place tears me down. I had a dream about my grandma which summed things pretty well. The house was completely dark and I found my grandma on the ground unable to get up and very confused and afraid. For some reason, I couldnt get her up and she continually kept saying that someone was at the window trying to get in and hurt her. I tried to tell her that no one was there but then I couldn't speak which only made her much more alarmed. Next thing I know there was a man by the window and he started walking towards her. With all of my might I pushed him but anytime I got near him he swatted me away. The closer he got to her the more she started to cry and call out for me but I couldn't stop him no matter how hard I tried. I've never felt so helpless.
I woke up from that dream with tears in my eyes and I still cant get past this sickness in my stomach. My loved ones are out there, and I can do nothing for them. My grandparents are two of the most precious people to me and theres a strong possibility that I will never see them again as a free man. That thought alone is almost enough to do me in without all the other hardships of prison. I said that I would walk out of prison a better man. Today I feel that is hopeless. I feel this is no place to become a better man. I'm so sorry Vincent.- Matthew Cordle
Waking up in the hospital
I yelled at the nurses to give me painkillers, part from the pain but mostly because I just wanted everything to go away after hearing that I caused a fatal accident. They gave me a shot of fentanyl and I slipped into unconsciousness. I woke up and knew that what I had hoped was a nightmare, was in fact reality. The looks on the faces of my family told me what I never wanted to know, that I had killed someone. My family didn't know who I had killed and the nurses also didn't know, or they weren't saying. My mind raced as to who it was, or how many people? A whole family? The thoughts were overwhelming, reality didn't seem so real anymore, like I'd imagine you felt if someone told you that you were a robot and your memories were fake. It felt like a sick joke and all I wanted to do was not exist. The commandments say "Thou shall not kill" for a reason and I now knew why all to well. The insurmountable guilt was more than I could handle on that day I wished I never woke up. – Matthew Cordle
Sarah's (sister) account of June 22, 2013
I want to dedicate this to everyone who helped that night…bystanders, police, victims, rescue workers at the crash site and everyone at Grant Hospital. Thank You. I can tell you one thing, I haven't slept thru the night since Matt's wreck, I constantly check my cell phone throughout the night. My phone was on silent that night. I awoke to my husband on his cell phone saying "what hospital? we are leaving now". I thought it was one of my grandparents at first. My dad had just left that morning with my stepmom and youngest brother and sister for vacation. My mom lives in Nevada. My husband informed me Matt had been in a car wreck. We quickly put on some sweats and got in the car. I called my dad back to ask what had happened. He said Matt had been in a bad car crash, that the hospital called him and said he was in critical condition but ok and conscious. He hit someone else. I asked how the other person was? And my dad choked out that he think they had died. Other than that we had no details. Was anyone else in the car? Were there other cars? Who died? Where did this happen? And the question we didn't want to say outloud-was there alcohol involved? We got to the hospital and immediately went to the ER where we were greeted by a wonderful social worker (and I wish I knew her name now as she was so helpful and calming). She told us the police were in with my brother and we could not see him until they were finished. I didn't even know what questions to ask at this point. Only a few minutes later two cops walked out and approached us. They told me they believed my brother to be intoxicated and took a blood sample. They had his license and said it was suspended pending investiagation.They told me my brother had gone the wrong way on the highway, hit another car and the other person died. The cops didn't know too many details as they had come with my brother to the hospital. Looking back, they were not friendly and very cold at the time…..but once I processed it all, I understand now….what they had just seen had to be horrifying. Looking back I am also very glad neither of my parents were there. No parent should have to go thru that, and no child should ever do that to their parents. I went in with the social worker to see Matthew. My husband stayed in the hall as we didn't know what to expect or want to upset him. You could smell the stench of gasoline walking into the ER. As soon as he saw me he began to scream and cry. He kept saying "I killed someone" over and over….and that it should have been him. I stared at him in disbelief. I feel I am usually pretty good and level-headed in chaotic situations. I felt numb. Staring at my baby brother who was covered in blood, gravel and gas, injured, sobering up to the reality of what he had done. I didn't know what to say or what to think. Was I mad? Was I glad he was alive? Did I want to punch him or hug him? I am so grateful for the social worker because she knew all the right things to say to him and myself. They made me leave as he was getting to worked up and transferred him to ICU as he has multiple serious injuries. My husband called my Dad as I gathered Matt's things, rummaging thru them for some kind of clue. It was 4am Ohio time. Within the next hours, my sisters showed up, I had a few break downs, my dad jumped on a flight home, I had to call my mom and tell her what happened. She got a flight home. Our minds were racing with what to do next, what will happen? He kept asking us who he had killed. At this point nobody knew and/or would tell us. They had to notify the family first. As I started to process everything, I realized how sick I was at what my brother had done….but yet how thankful I was he was alive. Seeing him first in the ER, I honestly thought there was a chance he wouldn't be okay. Looking back I now know there is a reason he is alive. He will prove it to the world. Just watch and see. Follow his journey.
R.I.P Vincent Canzani. -Sarah Alasya

There's been a lot of speculation this winter about free agent shortstop Stephen Drew potentially landing with the Mets, but the team has publicly thrown their support behind Ruben Tejada in recent weeks.
Mets special assistant J.P. Ricciardi is the latest example, saying on WEEI's "Hot Stove Show" that the team is happy with the idea of going into 2014 with Tejada as the starting shortstop.
"I think we are," said Ricciardi when asked if the Mets were happy with heading into 2014 with the 24-year-old Tejada. 'He's a young player. As Johnny can tell you, a lot of young players who get to play at the big league level early in their career, a lot of them don't realize how hard it is to play every day. A lot of them don't realize what it takes to play every day. I think in Ruben's case, he got a lot early in his career and I think he's starting to realize that he has to work a lot harder than he has in the past, and he has. To his credit, he really has. But as a young player, they get to the big leagues, some things happen for them and they forget how tough it is to stay there. I think he's at that stage in his career. I think next year he's going to be a better player than he was this previous year."

Ticket #9786 (new defect)
USB devices freeze VM instances and VB main window under certain conditions
Reported by: | jiggle-o | Owned by: | |
Priority: | minor | Component: | USB |
Version: | VirtualBox 4.1.4 | Keywords: | |
Cc: | Guest type: | Windows | |
Host type: | Windows |
Description (last modified by frank) (diff)
In one certain instance I have found that any tested usb Headsets will freeze the VM and the VirtualBox windows. Since the latest upgrade when connecting a USB headset (I have tried 3), upon opening any program that would use the headset the VM will freeze. It will also make the main VirtualBox windw freeze to where you cannot shut down that VM or open new ones. I have tried with a soft phone, voice recognition and sound recorder. All produce the same effect.
- open a Windows VM on a Windows host
- attach a USB headset
- start Windows sound recorder
next clicking on anything shaould freeze the VM indefinitely This was tested with Win 7 Ult. X64 host and Win 7 Pro X64 guest

Looks like this may be related to #9780. I experience the same problem with VirtualBox 4.1.6 r74713, running on a Windows 7 x64 host and running a Windows 7 x64 guest.
When the USB device is attached, the guest OS shows the USB audio device in the device manager, but it does not show up in the audio settings. After removing and reinstalling the driver it shows up in the audio settings. When I try to "Test" the audio device, the USB activity indicator lights up and the guest freezes. The VBox main window freezes as well. Trying to detach the USB device or powerdown/savestate the VM freezes the VM window also. I can kill the main window and VBoxSVC, but I can not kill the VM process. Unplugging the USB device from the host does not make a difference. The only way to recover from this situation seems to be to reboot the host.
This particular device identifies itself as C-Media Electronics Inc. USB Multimedia Audio Device.

Attaching the same device to a Windows 7 x64 guest on an Ubuntu Linux x64 host, running VirtualBox 4.1.6 r74713, is less desastrous. The device sort of works - it plays the test audio, but the USB audio driver locks up after a few times. The host is not affected and the VM window remains fully operational.
Using the same USB device with a Windows 7 x32 host and guest also results in a disastrous freeze, with an occasional blue screen.
USB audio devices also seem to be troublesome with USB-over-Ethernet, and may also result in the machine using the device freezing. This may be a timing issue, and may be related to the issue in VirtualBox.

When i plug into guest os my USB AUDIO (Creative SB Play) guest os freeze (crash). And in host system process VB dont kill, only reboot host. I try guest os Win 7 64 - freeze (crash)... I try guest os Win XP - freeze (crash)... I try reinstall host system - freeze (crash)... In Debian (guest os) - not freeze, but i dont install drv for USB AUDIO. I think crash guest os when os uses device (drv install), because first plug (in Win 7) not freeze antil os install drv.

Dear Developers, It's a pity that you treat this problem in this way – more than a year has passed! Without solving this problem we can't get two and more fully-featured working places from one PC. Let me to remind you that VMWare doesn't have such a problem, but changing for it is postponed because of inconvenience of the "preconnection" of USB devices in it. But this is for the time being. I hope that you will solve the problem or reply anything regarding it.

I can confirm the exact same behaviour. Windows 64-bit host.

I am experiencing the same issue. The guest OS locks up, and if you attempt to change any settings or reset the guest OS, the VirtualBox application locks up with high CPU usage and the process can not be ended via task manager. Host PC must be reset

Confirmed on Windows 7 64 bit host with Windows 7 32 bit guest. Exactly the same behavior when trying to attach any of the two devices:
- Logitech QuickCam
- Novation Scarlet 2i2
Guest seems to install drivers, then hangs, then I try to detach the USB and entire virtual machine hangs. I forcibly close it, but it is still in processes eating about 25% CPU and I cannot kill it nor from Task Manager, nor from Sysinternals Procexp. The only way is to restart the host.

Having the same issue here while trying to connect usb webcam. Using Debian as a host, VM is Windows 7 x64. VirtualBox version is 4.3.18 r96516.
comment:15 Changed 2 years ago by martijnvdzande
Still the same problem in 4.3.22 and 4.3.24.
Virtualbox won't start with USB audio card attached, detach it, it starts, attach it again and virtualbox is taking up 20% CPU.
