For the moment we will ignore the power source of the lawnmower and concentrate on the cutting systems as this is the most important for lawn quality. In general there are two different types of cutting systems for lawn mowers.
A cylinder lawn mower or reel mower has anywhere between five to twelve exposed blades at the front of the mower that rotate trapping and slicing the grass blades against a fixed bottom plate like a pair of scissors. The more blades there are the better the cut. The grass box is at the front.
The downside of this cutting system is that it works best on a low or short cut and will NOT cut long grass. This means frequent mowing, usually twice a week, but at least once a week in the lawn growing season to ensure a good cut.
Rotary lawn mowers have one very high speed rotating blade underneath. The blade 'chops' the grass on impact due to its very high speed. Most rotary mowers have the grass box behind with a few having an integral grass box. These mowers work best on a medium to high cut.
You can get variations on these such as ride on mowers or tractor mowers which are just larger ride on versions. The hover mower is very common domestically and are similar to rotary mowers but without wheels. Some people still use hand mowers which are similar to cylinder mowers with you as the power source.Quality of Grass Cutting
The quality of cut due to the slicing 'scissor' type action of the cylinder lawn mower, if maintained correctly, is superior to that of the 'chopping' or 'smashing' action of a rotary mower.
However, a rotary mower with sharp blades and sufficient power produces a sufficiently good cut that most people would not know the difference; particularly when you take into account all the other imperfections that exist in a lawn.
The best way to explain the 'quality of cut thing' is to think about a bottle of wine. A very good wine might cost £20 to £30 a bottle. An extra-ordinary wine might cost £200 a bottle. How many of us could tell the difference? It's no different with a good quality rotary versus a good cylinder mower.Mower Maintenance
In addition, the blades of a cylinder mower need periodic and precise adjustment to maintain the quality of cut. If this is not done properly it will cause the mower to 'chew' the grass producing an exceptionally poor cut – far worse than a blunt rotary mower! If you don't want to fiddle or are not mechanically minded this is as good a reason as any to stay away from cylinder mowers.Mower Height Adjustment
Perhaps a more important difference between rotary mowers and cylinder mowers is the range and type of height adjustment. A quality cylinder lawnmower can 'shave' as close as 3/16" and can be raised up to about an inch without too much loss of mowing quality. A typical rotary lawnmower on the other hand won't go much below 1/2" and can be raised up to perhaps 3" or even 4" without deterioration in cut.
The narrow range of height adjustment on a cylinder mower often means mowing at least twice a week in the growing season to keep within the 'one third rule'. This also enables the mower to work properly and cut the grass cleanly. For your information, bowling and golf greens are usually cut every one to two days in the playing season!
The one third rule: never remove more than one third of the grass lead on any one cut
The type of height adjustment is either on a screw thread (offering infinite positions) or lever action with set positions. The number of settings is important because it determines the change in cutting height from one setting to the next.
The more settings generally means smaller changes in cutting height which may also improve the highest and lowest settings. A mower with five settings is good with seven settings being excellent. Ride ons can often have ten or more settings.
Now, the typical lawn with its surface imperfections, perhaps poor drainage, shade, trees and roots, kids and dogs, even if of superb quality, with lots of TLC will always be greener and healthier cut at or above 1"………..This means using a rotary mower!
Once you start mowing below ¾" your lawn needs to be ultra level to prevent scalping and should be the very fine bristle like grasses. You also need to know what you are doing so, as far as Lawnsmith is concerned, cylinder mowers are for serious amateur gardeners and lawn enthusiasts; rotary mowers are for normal people!

I'm in New York to attend the Cooper Union event with former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and former New York Governor Mario Cuomo tomorrow night at 6:30 p.m. (Eastern). Speaker Gingrich and Governor Cuomo will discuss what they believe to be the leading issues of the 2008 national election. The Cooper Union event can be viewed by webcast here. It perhaps grandiosely seeks to elevate the discourse of the campaign by the power of example. It is my understanding that the presidential candidates of both parties have been invited to follow suit and come to Cooper Union at future dates.
Today is the anniversary of Lincoln's astonishing Cooper Union speech of February 27, 1860. Tomorrow's event commemorates Lincoln's speech. In this morning's New York Sun Governor Cuomo and Speaker Gingrich provide the historical background and set the stage for tomorrow's event in "Come to Cooper Union."

TEWKSBURY -- A plan by Market Basket workers to get their old CEO Arthur T. Demoulas back now has become an ultimatum to their new bosses.
Employees loyal to Demoulas have become so outspoken against the new management that this week they've posted signs and posters pledging their loyalty to the former leader inside the chain's main office -- right in the faces of new co-CEOs Jim Gooch and Felicia Thornton, who were appointed by the board of directors last month.
A letter dated Wednesday addressed to Gooch and Thornton says Market Basket workers "demand" the return of Demoulas "with full authority, non-negotiable."
"A non-answer will be considered a no," the letter says. The letter also gives a deadline of a Thursday afternoon meeting at 4:30 at the Tewksbury offices to hear a response.
"We will not work for anyone but ATD," the employees wrote, referring to Demoulas. Employees have said the headquarters has a few hundred workers.
Only the board of directors has the authority to re-appoint Demoulas to CEO, Gooch and Thornton said in a statement. They said they've forwarded the request from employees to the board.
Keith Cowan, the board's chairman, did not respond to a message seeking comment.
"This morning, several employees informed us that they require an answer on their demands by the end of day tomorrow," the executives said Wednesday.
"When we attempted to acknowledge their concern and respond on the status of the request, these employees instead left the meeting," they said. "We also are aware of a memo they issued, although it was not immediately given to us by these employees. This behavior is not appropriate nor is it in keeping with Market Basket's culture of respect."
The board of directors removed Demoulas as CEO last month. In court documents, some shareholders affiliated with the competing side of the Demoulas family have said the CEO had a "dictatorial" management philosophy, was "openly defiant" of the board, and withheld information from directors, among other complaints.
Many of Market Basket's more than 20,000 employees have demonstrated their allegiance to Arthur T., including at a series of rallies over the past year.
"You're the best," Demoulas shouted to employees who rallied for more than 12 hours outside a directors meeting in Andover last July. "I never want to leave you."

When Gisele Bundchen arrived in New York City at the age of 16, she was ready to pursue her career as a model, but there was just one little thing holding her back.
During an appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, the supermodel revealed she was able to speak two languages (Portuguese and a little bit of Spanish) at the time, but she struggled to communicate with anyone she met because she didn't speak English.
Soon, Bundchen picked up on the language, but not from Rosetta Stone or anything like that.
"My wonderful cassette tapes, Boyz II Men and Mariah Carey, saved my life!" Bundchen told Fallon.
"They were great teachers, so I have to thank them one day if I ever meet them in person. They were very inspiring."
Watch below to hear Bundchen reveal which songs in particular helped her out:

i'm Baaaaack!
Sorry for the hiatus. My recent reliance on Twitter (@RedStarsCEO) has kept me away from this blog for more than a month. i will try to get back in a routine with it.
i'd like to return to my soccer roots for this return post. My start in the business of soccer more than 20 years ago was with what is currently the nation's oldest soccer club. Was it DC United? Seattle Sounders? Richmond Kickers? Nope, it was with the Milwaukee Wave of the American Indoor Soccer Association, which was a mere babe in just its third season when i was hired to do marketing and publicity for the team on March 9, 1987.
Last weekend the Wave celebrated its Silver Anniversary. For the anniversary adjective challenged, that would be 25 years in business. That's more than pretty good. In fact, it's amazing. The Wave has split its time between the 3,600 seat MECCA Auditorium, the 18,000 seat Bradley Center and now the 9,000 seat Milwaukee Arena. The alphabet soup of leagues they have competed in include the AISA, NPSL, second incarnation of the MISL and now the XSL. They have had four ownership groups and five head coaches.
The only player to play for all five Wave coaches is Tony Pierce (who's #31 should be retired by the Wave), the first player signed was Kris Klassen and the last remaining original employee still with the team is trainer Larry Sayles, who previously taped ankles for Meadowlark Lemon, Curly Neal and their globetrotting teammates.
To most of the American soccer community the Wave and indoor soccer in general is an irrelevant redheaded stepchild to the "real" sport. Its best days are certainly in the rear view mirror, but both the Wave and indoor soccer remain relevant. To most people in Milwaukee, "professional soccer" doesn't mean the EPL, MLS or even USL Division 1, 2 or 89. It's not the W-League, J-League, A-League or XYZ-League. Professional soccer in this corner of the Dairy State is the Milwaukee Wave. The first and only professional soccer games almost all Wisconsinites have seen in person are Wave games. Indoor soccer is no longer played by the best players the U.S. produces, but it is still worthy of attention and still holds meaning as entertainment and competition for those who watch and those who play.
The strategy and competition of indoor is still compelling. Wave coach Keith Tozer is among the sharpest and hardest working coaches this country has ever seen. He was a finalist for the Fire job after Bob Bradley left and i truly believe he would have been a successful MLS coach.
I cherish my 7+ years in indoor soccer and especially my 3+ years with the Wave. i learned a lot about the sport, the audience, the challenge of marketing soccer and i made some lifelong friends.
Some of them came together last weekend in Milwaukee for the Wave's reunion. Those i saw included the Cudahy Connector Pete Knezic, US U-17 Assistant Coach Keith Fulk, XSL Commissioner Brian Loftin, Chicago Storm Head Coach Steve Morris, Storm Owner Viktor Jakovljevic, longtime Wave assistant and local youth coach Art Kramer, Brookfield Academy Coach Lee Rogers, the Alioto twins, Tim and Tom, and two of my oldest friends, Chicago Fire Juniors Director of Coaching Larry Sunderland and Green Bay Lightning Director of Coaching Tony Pierce. We spent a night sharing stories of the old days and it reminded me how special this team was and still is.

Thanks for the memories, Peter. I attended nearly every 1980s Wave game (Steve Swanson was my favorite player) until I left for college in 1989. My dad did some photography for the team. I agree with your assessment about the current state of indoor soccer. Until about 10 years ago, you couldn't keep me away from the games. Right now I'm staring at two free tickets for tomorrow's Wave game, realizing that I have little interest in taking my six year old to a game.

Dear fellow Council Members, sponsors, friends,
Sawubona and welcome to the webpage for the 1st stand-alone meeting of Council in the 60 year history of the World Conservation Union.
Both South Africa and IUCN are unique, remarkable and very close to my heart. And having the opportunity to conduct the important business of the Union against the backdrop of a world renowned conservation area such as the Kruger National Park is indeed a very special and significant occasion.
Of course, for many of you this will not be your first visit to Mzansi. The presence of IUCN in South Africa – and indeed the region – is significant and would have provided many with the opportunity to visit previously. IUCN was, after all, a key player in the World Summit on Sustainable Development and the Vth World Parks Congress. Others might have come here as tourists, exploring the riches of South Africa in a more leisurely manner. And for some of you, this will be your first opportunity to experience first hand the opulence of the stars, the vastness of the African wilderness and embark upon a new journey, albeit only a first step, to your soul. Whatever the case, I am convinced that your visit in November will be a truly memorable one.
The spectacular setting of the Kruger area should, however, not detract from the importance of the business we will be conducting as custodians of the global environment. The 68th meeting of Council will have to consider a wide range of important issues pertinent to the Union at this time. To highlight only a few, preparations for the World Conservation Congress 2008 – the premier summit on sustainable development in 2008 (less than a year away when we meet), the new draft inter-sessional programme and draft financial plan for 2009 – 2012, the approval of a Code of Conduct for Council Members and the report on the membership Satisfaction Survey are on the agenda.
Conducting a Council meeting in an environment not purpose built for conferencing also has its particular challenges. Although extremely enriching, infrastructure and logistical implications that even in Gland require many hours of careful preparation and execution will require cooperation and understanding from everyone present at the meeting in Kruger. Due to financial and other considerations, IUCN will only provide a lean contingent of operational staff.
Most importantly, I wish to convey my personal gratitude to our generous sponsors and the Director General for making this meeting possible.
I look forward to seeing you in South Africa in November.
Sala Kahle,
Valli Moosa
Dear fellow Council Members, sponsors, friends,

The work is so heavily identified with our artist it's often the only thing people think of when his name is mentioned. For those unfamiliar with his work, it's a seascape, the horizon of which is set in the lower half of the painting, a glowing moon with its yellowish halo shines in the sky while the silhouette of a boat with a single triangular sail labours mightily to make its way against the surf. Except for the suggestion of a few clouds in the sky and the foamy surf, there is little in the way of detail that has not been simplified away in a work that approaches abstraction so closely it's not unlike what Joseph Stella, Charles Demuth, or Georgia O'Keeffe were doing in the 1930s. And though it's not typical of the artist's work in general, its this rich, thickly painted, abstraction that makes him an important link between the academic tradition (which he more often adhered to) and the Modern Art which he was to influence.
Born in 1847, in New Bedford, Massachusetts, as a child, he had a few lessons from an amateur painter, but when the family moved to New York, he not only was able to study at the National Academy, but was fortunate enough to make several brief trips to Europe as well. And though his presence in Europe during the 1860s and 70s would put him in the midst of the Impressionist era, he seems to have been academically oriented. However, his personal style was so strong that more important than any artistic influence he might have picked up, was a love of Gothic literature and the Scotch-English flavour his work acquired, such as seen in his 1880 painting, Roadside Meeting, or his 1888-91 effort, Siegfried and the Rhine Maidens. A colleague of Louis Tiffany, Stanford White, John La Farge, and his dealer, stained-glass artist Daniel Cottier, he was a romantic at heart, working on the same painting incessantly for years, layering colours and adjusting his compositions until often the paint weighed more than the canvas and frame combined. But it is not his thick paint or heroic subjects for which our artist is remembered, but his ability to distil his compositions to their most elemental essence and his willingness to paint for emotional impact rather than academic detail that has endeared him to the legions of Modern artists whom he has influenced.

Pallet report from ProMat
Here's a rundown of some of the latest new products and innovations unveiled by pallet makers at ProMat 2011.
Latest NewsReport: Pallet wrap sales growing steadily U.S. West Coast ports warned about "complacency" Dematic names Bernard Biolchini EVP and CEO, Americas Logisticians, carriers fret over U.S. economy's future U.S.-bound shipments trend down in June, reports Panjiva More News

All Resources
ProMat is a showcase for the latest materials handling innovations. The recent show was no exception, including new products from the pallet industry. Here's a rundown of some of the pallet products on display in Chicago.
Sonoco Products (http://www.sonoco.com/) was exhibiting its line of corrugated pallets, designed for one-way shipments of relatively light loads such as cookies and crackers, tissues and pharmaceuticals. Yes, they're more expensive than a comparable one-way wooden pallet, but they are also lighter than wood, don't have to be treated for insect infestation and can be shipped knocked down to save space during transportation. That makes them cost-effective for export shipments. They are best with uniform loads. They can be floor stacked or stored in supported rack.
Orbis (http://www.orbiscorporation.com/News—-Events/News-Items/ORBIS-Launches-New-40-x-48-Stack-R-Pallet) unveiled a new 40 x 48-inch rackable and stackable pallet designed to store, ship and handle products throughout the food, consumer goods, agricultural and pharmaceutical supply chains. The pallet was created as a cost-competitive pallet for food grade applications. "It fills a product gap in our line, between very low-cost pallets and higher-priced permanent pallets," an Orbis rep explained.
CHEP (http://www.chep.com) was not showing off a new pallet design. Rather, the wood pallet pooling provider was demonstrating its materials handling simulator. The new system was installed in CHEP's lab in Orlando, Fla., and includes an impact loop and software that allows CHEP to simulate and analyze real world handling conditions in the supply chain to test the durability of new pallet designs.
Rehrig Pacific (http://www.rehrigpacific.com/) was highlighting two new products. The first was a one-way plastic slip sheet designed for humid or damp working and shipping environments where a corrugated slip sheet may not work, especially the export of products like seeds, feeds, flour and pharmaceuticals. They company also has a buyback program for the recyclable sheets. The other was a new plastic pallet delivery system designed for direct store deliveries. The system includes a pallet and lift that can be easily loaded into a traditional delivery trailer rather than a gondola truck.
iGPS (http://www.igps.net) held a joint press conference with Egemin Automation (http://www.egemin.com) to describe how customers with automated facilities were using the RFID tag in an IGPS pallet in conjunction with RFID readers on automatic guided vehicles to track pallets within a manufacturing or distribution environment. The plastic pallet pooling provider also discussed installing a GPS tag on its pallets that would have the ability to send an alert if a pallet in the supply chain crossed into a boundary where it should not be or to easily identify and locate materials that may need to be recalled.
Litco (http://www.litco.com) displayed its INCA pallet. Molded under high pressure and heat from wood waste and byproducts, the nestable INCA pallet does not have to be chemically or heat-treated for export shipment.
Cabka (http://www.cabka.com), a manufacturer of plastic pallets made from recycled materials, introduced a new shuttle pallet. Made from plastic and aluminum, the shuttle is designed to be a precision permanent pallet for use on conveyor and automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) that require consistent and reliable pallets. It accepts wooden or plastic pallets or other shipping platforms, regardless of the quality, size or type and transports them safely through an automated conveying and storage system.
Buckhorn (http://www.buckhorninc.com/maximizer) showed a new collapsible pallet and container system designed to ship and store light-duty dry goods, with loads of up to 1,000 pounds. Made from 100% recyclable plastic, it can be easily assembled or broken down by an employee for use or storage.
Polymer Solutions (http://www.prostack.com) featured a one-piece 40 x 48-inch hygienic plastic pallet for the food a pharmaceutical industries. The pallet features heavy-duty blocks that are thicker and more durable than conventional plastic pallet blocks and is rackable to 2,200 pounds.
AL Pallet introduced a new aluminum pallet that features a patented design that provides weight carrying capacities similar to wood pallets in a much lighter, customizable pallet. The technology was designed to compete directly with wood pallets and is especially suitable for closed-loop systems or the one-way air logistics market where the weight of the pallet has a significant impact on shipping costs.

Hi everyone. I would be really grateful for some advice about my cavalier, Dylan. He is 4 years old and has been showing some symptoms of SM for the last year although mostly quite mild. He has been on Metacam since March but my vet did not think he had SM. She x-rayed his head, spine and pelvis but only found slight hip dysplasia. She eventually referred him to a specialist and we took him for his appointment yesterday. We saw an orthopaedic surgeon and he said the x-rays taken by my vet showed the vertebral canal in the neck area was wider than the rest and that together with the symptoms I described he was fairly sure Dylan had SM. He said it was up to us whether he had an MRI scan which would give a definite diagnoses but would not make any difference to his treatment. My husband did not want Dylan to have the MRI scan and as the vet said we could book him in to have one any time in the future if we wanted I agreed not to have it done. My question is would there be any benefit to having the MRI scan? Dylan is insured.

The Federal Reserve System was born of a financial crisis, the Panic of 1907, so it is not surprising that the global crisis which began one century later should lead to changes in the authority and responsibilities of the Fed. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 mandates the most important changes at the Fed since the Great Depression. The legislation explicitly expands the goals for the Fed to include financial stability in addition to the traditional goals of price stability and full employment.
Consequently, the central bank will have enhanced responsibility for systemic risk assessment and regulation, and it will house and fund a new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Yet, in addition to expanding the powers of the Fed, the Dodd-Frank bill also significantly narrows the Fed's emergency lending authority and subjects this lending to greater scrutiny.
The actions of the Federal Reserve in the recent financial crisis highlighted the extraordinary powers that many central banks have to intervene in an economy in a crisis. Not surprisingly, the interventions led to a vigorous public debate about the choices the Fed made, the proper role of the Fed in a crisis, and the transparency of its actions. Although Dodd-Frank expands the Fed's responsibilities regarding financial stability, it also seeks to rein in an independent and powerful financial institution with unelected leadership and limited accountability.
The role of a central bank in financial crises is a topic with a long history. With the help of Walter Bagehot, the Bank of England learned in the 1860s and 1870s that proper behavior on the part of a lender of last resort is to furnish liquidity to the market by discounting freely when presented with good collateral, at a penalty rate of interest that incentivizes borrowers to repay. In the recent crisis, the Fed developed a range of facilities to deliver liquidity. The Fed intervened to an unprecedented degree, reacting quickly to create vast reserves and shoring up institutions in novel ways to prevent a wholesale collapse of the U.S. financial system.
But the Fed and some other central banks also went well beyond what Bagehot taught a century and a half ago. In addition to lending to the market, they lent to particular institutions in trouble, sometimes on dodgy collateral, thereby attracting great political criticism. Even in lending to the market, the Fed expanded its traditional role as lender of last resort to become an investor of last resort as well. One could argue that this was an appropriate means to prevent a widespread systemic collapse of the financial system. Yet, it was bound to add to concerns about the range of Fed powers.
Not surprisingly, Congress has turned its attention to ways to improve financial sector regulation and avert future crises. The changes to the role of the Fed that are introduced by the Dodd-Frank bill arise mostly out of serious thought about the role of central banks and the appropriate scope of their activity. But, there also are lingering reflections of the public anger triggered by the crisis and the Fed's role in it.
There are three aspects of central bank activities - monetary policy, financial institution regulation and systemic risk oversight. In our view, the strong linkages among the three functions are sufficiently compelling that, with proper oversight, the central bank should have broad authority in all three of them. The Dodd-Frank bill takes some steps in this direction. It gives the Fed a role in maintaining financial stability and sets the stage for its use of macroprudential tools to tame systemic risks. It does not diminish the Fed's responsibility for monetary policy. Finally, it leaves the Fed explicit responsibility for some aspects of bank regulation and, importantly, creates new supervisory authority over all financial institutions that are deemed officially to be systemically important.
A strong and independent central bank is indispensable for effective monetary policy. However, it also is an anomalous entity in a constitutional democracy that emphasizes accountability and the responsibility of elected officials. Fortunately, the Dodd-Frank bill leaves the independence of the Federal Reserve reasonably intact. Some specific challenges to central bank independence that were introduced in earlier Congressional discussion were misguided and potentially counterproductive expressions of public anger regarding the recent financial crisis. Anger is a poor basis on which to make effective reforms. The Dodd-Frank bill dropped the most egregious attacks on the Fed.
With regard to regulatory and systemic oversight, the Fed's enhanced powers to use macroprudential tools and the policy focus provided by its new Vice Governor for Supervision may help prepare both the central bank and the government for systemic risks.
However, the Dodd-Frank bill also prohibits or delays the use of selected Fed crisis management tools that played an important role in mitigating the recent crisis. In particular, aside from broad-based programs of liquidity provision, the Fed may no longer lend to individual nonbanks whose solvency is in doubt. Instead, the bill relies heavily on new, complex, and potentially unwieldy regulatory and resolution mechanisms to prevent and tame future crises.
It is far from clear that this new apparatus will prove effective in countering crises when they occur, and may even increase their likelihood. The Financial Stability Oversight Council is an umbrella group of policymakers with a staff housed in the Treasury that will seek to identify systemic risks and instruct the Fed to respond. This loose structure is untested and far from streamlined. It does not appear well suited to foster the strong leadership, clear chain of command, and timely interventions that have characterized successful policy responses over the long history of financial crisies. In addition, the bill's new resolution mechanism - which aims to protect taxpayers and impose the costs of financial failures on unsecured creditors -- may unintentionally increase the probability of a run by such creditors in response to a shock that weakens the financial system.
Ultimately, the combination of new restrictions on Fed emergency lending and the new structures for responding to systemic risk and financial crises will have to be judged when tested by events. If the new structures prove ineffective, the Dodd-Frank bill's elimination of emergency authority for some forms of Fed lending could make future crises even more devastating than the recent one.

Who knew --- new LEAF a 'bargain' ??? At least in Canada
"That reader, Bruno Marcoux, seems to have outdone even his expectations. Last night, he sent along an update that he had received 3,000 reservations for the Quebec group buy (the first group buy he's organizing). If that doesn't sound crazy to you, let me summarize: that's freakin' crazy!"

We have disabled toilets dotted around the site.
A carer can come in for free with a disabled visitor - for pre-booking events (Christmas), please call us in advance, so we can allocate the 'free' seat on the train for the carer. However, at Christmas there are some restrictions for wheelchair users. Please call for more information. 01296 655720.
There is full wheelchair access across the site, including a ramp onto the steam train. Wheelchair users can go into the brake van at the back of the train (at Christmas however, Father Christmas uses this van to hold all the children's presents - so please call us for more information before booking - 01296 655720). If the visitor is capable of taking a few steps onto the train, then wheelchairs can be left on the platform, and the visitor can be shown to a seat closest to the door.
The visitor centre has full access with only a ramp (no steps) onto the concourse (see photo above).
We have two bridges going over the train track and across to the other side of our site. One of these is an old Victorian bridge with steps. The other is a more modern one that has a ramp one side and a lift the other.
Our site is large - 25 acres - and we want everyone to be able to wander the site as much as they want to. If you do not generally need/have a wheelchair but feel you might like one to go around our site, then you are welcome to use one of our mobility scooters. We have three mobility scooters for visitors to use - there is no charge however, we recommend that you call us before your visit to pre-book one, as we cannot guarantee they will be available otherwise.
Please call 01296 655720 9.30am-4.30pm Monday to Friday for any queries.

I have seen a great Youtube video on folding a mens suit, but was wondering if anybody has found a plastic bag (zip lock) that it can fit into before packing in the tri-star. Leaving some air in the bag reduces wrinkles....so I am told
Welcome! We're glad you are here. This is the place to ask for bag advice, help other people out, post reviews, and share photos and videos.
First, select your desired search engine:
I have seen a great Youtube video on folding a mens suit, but was wondering if anybody has found a plastic bag (zip lock) that it can fit into before packing in the tri-star. Leaving some air in the bag reduces wrinkles....so I am told
I've seen them on Amazon, I think.
Before Tom Bihn made Packing Cubes and Travel Stuff Sacks, I used plastic zip bags to pack my things.
Removing the air from the bag saves space, but only if used with rolled garments.
The best way to pack a suit is to follow Maverick instructions.
Follow the Video link at the bottom of the page and choose Aeronaute. The video "Packing a Suit in An Aeronaute" is one of the link.
I am hoping it shows below:
Packing a Suit in the Tom Bihn Aeronaut Maximum Carry-on Bag - YouTube
I don't have any personal experience with packing a suit, but you might want to also check out the following link for a super helpful post by forum member Miking: http://forums.tombihn.com/questions-...g-cubes.html#7
Eagle Creek Pack-It Garment Sleeve size is 21 x 13 x 2 in / 53 x 33 x 5 cm. That can fit into an Aeronaut with the inner flaps unsnapped, but the largest size Eagle Creek Pack-It that can fit in the Tri-Star is their 18 inch Pack-It Folder.
I just packed my husband's suit in a 22" rolling suitcase and it turned out great. I did the method where you fold one shoulder over the other, turning the jacket inside out, and leaving the sleeves to hang naturally inside (don't stuff one into the other). Then either fold it in half or in thirds. I didn't put it in plastic, as the instructions I read said the plastic would make it move around, which is what causes the wrinkles. You're supposed to have it packed fairly snug against other items, and the "inside out" part of the jacket serves as the barrier that I believe most people are looking for with the plastic covers. The jacket didn't even need to hang in the steamy bathroom before wearing. You can find a video of this method on YouTube. Worked like a charm!
I packed a Medium suit jacket in the Brain Bag using the turning the jacket upside down method in a Packing Cube Bacpack. I also used the same method to pack my Plus Size but lightweight and short sleeve suit jacket.
The Tristar is even roomier than the Brain Bag so that should not be a problem, my outfits were packed in Packing Cubes.
I agree with the method used by dwright above. I regularly use this method to pack a suit jacket into my Aeronaut, folding the jacket in thirds at the end. Sometimes I put it in a full packing cube, just for a bit of containment. I have packed 5 different jackets this way, and all have come out pretty well on the other side!

It could be worse............
Obnoxious John
In case you've been off the planet, in a deep sea submersible vehicle or sleeping like Rip Van Winkle I want to tell you the Seattle Seahawks have earned the right to home field advantage in the playoffs for this season.
What does that mean? First it means a stadium full of crazed, over caffeinated, fanatic, obsessive die-hard people screaming at the top of their lungs for nigh on to 60 minutes for the next game the Seahawks play. Should the team prevail, repeat the previous sentence and hope for the same outcome; a victory and a return to the Super Bowl with a chance to avenge the loss suffered at the hands of the dreaded Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2005 Super Bowl (played in Feb 2006).
In some respects having been in the 2005 Super Bowl (played in Feb 2006) doesn't seem so long ago even though it represents 8 years since that appearance. Maybe that's because Seattle was in the play offs last season, also in 2010 and for 5 years in a row from 2003 to 2007 experiencing various degrees of success. Today's victory means 8 out of the last 11 seasons fans in the Pacific Northwet (misspelling intentional) have been able to watch their football team play for bigger stakes.
After all, isn't that why we watch? We endure the regular season in the hopes the team advances to the post season and maybe one day, scales the summit of NFL accomplishment and wins the championship, now symbolized by the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
Why should we care about that? Sports, like movies, TV, live theater and so on is a form of entertainment, an escape if you will, from the rigors, drudgery and sometimes terrible things of life. A way to give our selves a break and dwell for a brief while in a world where the most important issues involve the ability of our chosen team to run or pass the football, to block and tackle.
Now I compare the Seahawk situation to the team of my boyhood, the Detroit Lions. There are not, I'm sad to report, many similarities between Seahawks and the Lions. For example, Seattle has been to the Super Bowl once, coincidentally it was held in Detroit. That is the closest the Lions have ever gotten to the big event having never qualified for the biggest game in the sport.
In that time span I used to show why it didn't seem THAT long since the Super Bowl for Seattle fans, the Detroit team has been to the playoffs once, in 2011. Before that, in the 90's, the Lions went to the playoffs 6 times, advancing past the first game only once and that was in 1991.
That's a long time to remain loyal and make an emotional investment that yields no real return. I'm not sure why this situation exists, the owner of the Lions has the resources needed. They have a new stadium, a world class wide receiver, decent quarterback (on paper anyhow) and a first round draft pick anchoring the defensive line, where games are often won or lost.
Sometimes (actually a lot of times) I listen to Seahawk fans complain, moan, kvetch and whine about some perceived defect with the Seattle team. Then I reflect on the Lions and think ' it could be worse.'
Now get out there and take one for the team!

On Jan. 8, the French government announced that it will exercise its option to purchase 22 NH90 helicopters for 600 million euros ($818.3 million). When added to the initial 12-ship order placed in late 2007, the country's total order for the big tactical transport helicopter climbs to 34, not including an active purchase order for 27 NFHs, the naval variant of the NH90. According to the Ministry of Defence, the aircraft will be used to support its soldiers in combat zones. The NH90 is a product of NH Industries, a consortium comprised of AgustaWestland, EADS and Stork Fokker. For related news

The men's Olympic marathon swim was already going to be a fast race pre-Mellouli. With Mellouli now in the game, it just got a whole lot faster. Basketball fans want Kevin Durant taking the last shot in a basketball game. Swimming fans want Jason Lezak anchoring their relay. And...read more
No Walls, No Turns, No Worries For Haley Anderson
Haley Anderson is certainly peaking at the right time. After turning in an 8:26 in the 800m freestyle without a full taper at the USA Olympic Swimming Trials, she certainly is showing the world-class speed and stamina . But the northern California native says, "I hate walls. I hate turns." It is certainly an unusual statement from the reigning NCAA champion in the 500-yard freestyle, a gut-busting 4+ minute swim that requires 19 flip turns in, and the third-place finisher in the 800m freestyle at the Trials. But the personable...read more

Fall in Seattle was a sad season, with the unbelievable realization that an arsonist had destroyed one of the Greenwood / Phinney Ridge most beloved cultural institutions. The arson devestation to neighborhood businesses and the Taproot theatre was both shocking and sobering.
Winter is a new season, and like a sparkling cover of fresh snow, the Taproot Theatre is back…. and with a roar. We visited the Taproot last night for their first show at the newly renovated location. The rejuvenation of the theatre in such a short period is truly incredible to see. The theatre space is new, modern, lively, and filled with the energy of the both the performers and community itself.
In some ways, the previously chosen C.S. Lewis, The Great Divorce represents the community's own balance between the hell of the fire and the "heaven" that is the amazing performances at this theatre. There was no question that the audience was filled with the love and energy to see the Taproot back in such a beautiful space.
The show kicked off with the producing artistic manager thanking the community for its support, together with the Seattle Fire Department and specifically the team that saved the theatre that fateful October night. The fire is also an important reminder that the theatre's continued vitality depends on the community's continuing support. Although donations are great – just as important are the ongoing annual subscriptions to the theatre's season.
The show itself – The Great Divorce – is not about marriage and divorce. It's a 1940′s fantasy by the Christian focused author of the Chronicles of Narnia. The proselytizing show begins in a foggy Grey Town where passengers bicker as they await the "bus" to either heaven or hell. Characters in the play dress in either grab grey "ghost" clothing or very brightly colored spirit colors. C.S. Lewis himself is portrayed as a detached 3rd party observer of the scenes, allowing him to comment and participate.
The show was first produced just two years ago by a smaller New York company, and in Seattle just a cast of ten portray over 20 characters. Each scene displays the fight for conversion. Sometimes with husbands and wives – but each is a battle for the souls of the lost. The show's lighting and the marble-like background changes with each scene to portray the mood.
The Taproot Theatre and the Greenwood community have proven their stamina with the rapid return of this cultural institution and a play that challenges both the intellect and the spiritual agenda. As the Theatre and community consider an expansion of the space into the now vacant area from the fires – the packed house and energy of the show are a strong endorsement to growth. Special deals for younger audience members including the pizza+ theatre special for only $10 are worth a look for students around the Seattle region. The Great Divorce plays the Taproot through February 27, 2010.

A flurry of 911 calls kept deputies busy investigating a rash of car break-ins in the Panhandle early Tuesday, April 10.
A 911 dispatcher received the first call at 6:26 a.m., one of 13 separate pleas from residents who woke up to find their cars rifled through and belongings stolen.
Sheriff's Maj. Matt Shaw said deputies were constantly being dispatched to the northern end of the county as car owners discovered something was amiss inside their vehicles.
"It was one right after another for awhile there," Shaw said.

News for Group Leaders
Postal Pages - an activity for Young Embroiderers' Groups
This idea is an adaptation of the Travelling Books activity, which many adult branches of the Embroiderers' Guild take part in and it is designed to get youngsters stitching and sharing. Travelling Books are a form of "Textile Ideas" book and Alex Messenger, the Artistic Director for Young and Student Embroiderers, is looking for Young Embroiderers (JETS) groups who would like to take part in a similar project.
For Group Leaders this project could provide the focus for a stitching activity. It doesn't have to be the sole purpose of every activity - leaders could pick and choose as they wish. They are also completely free to choose what activity they offer the group. Not every member has to take part although the idea might work better if they all do.
For more information on this fun idea please click on this link to see the instructions - you will need to log in as a Group Leader.
Wiggly Bags - an activity for individual members or groups
A Wiggly Bag is a little bag attached to ribbons or tapes, used by children to hold a Hickman Line. (Hickman Lines deliver medication directly to a patient through a tube). They are worn around the neck which lets the line rest in them, taking the weight, stopping the lines from getting tugged and keeping them clean.
If you would like to make a Wiggly Bag to help someone, see our project instructions http://www.youngembroiderers.com/index.php?page_no=185&page_title=getting-started
A new Young Embroiderers' Folio has been created
The Guild is delighted to announce the creation of an inspiring new folio for Young Embroiderers (Junior Embroiderers and Textile Students). It is the first folio specifically created with young embroiderers in mind and has been compiled by Muriel Campbell, former Chairman of Young Embroiderers. This has been possible due to money very kindly donated by the North Herts and Beds branch of the Embroiderers' Guild for the materials required.
A folio is a pack which contains examples on boards of various types of stitch and techniques. The YE folio consists of 29 colourful boards which show a variety of stitches and techniques appropriate for our younger members. If Group Leaders would like to book this folio for a group meeting, please contact the Folios team firstname.lastname@example.com

The Good: Player's clubs as they say on the course. Not going to give you explosive distance, but you can work the ball at will and shoot for tight pins with these clubs. If wayward irons are your achilles, this set might be what you need to drop those scores.
The Bad: You will pay for bad shots, both in your score and your senses. Bad hits can jar and numb your hands. Somewhat pricey, though if you're serious about your golf...well worth the price.
Overall: How can you argue with success? If you are contemplating a set of these clubs, the only thing that should stop you is either demo-ing a set that you happen to hit like a dream, or you are saving for that dream house in Bermuda.

Angels' Adenhart killed in accident
Rookie right-hander dies in three-car hit-and-run crash
ORANGE, Calif. -- On one of the saddest mornings in Angels history, a groundskeeper on the field in Angel Stadium smoothed the pitching rubber on which Nick Adenhart stood 13 hours before.
In a conference room on the third floor of the park, Adenhart's No. 34 uniform was draped over a table atop the dais. On its left sleeve, a "Preston" patch commemorating the recent passing of Angels exec Preston Gomez.
There will soon be another patch on those uniforms, in memory of Adenhart, the victim of a tragic hit-and-run accident in Fullerton, Calif., in the wee minutes of Thursday.
The sudden and shocking development moved the Angels to cancel Thursday's night game, the finale of a four-game series with Oakland. Makeup plans will be announced later.
Into that third-floor room, media members, club officials and Fullerton police and fire department officers filed in with long faces and vacant eyes. They were there to discuss the 12:24 a.m. accident that took three lives and left a fourth in critical condition, and to reminisce about an exceptional 22-year-old.
As Tim Mead, the Angels' vice president of communications said in opening the proceedings, "It is with deep regret that we are having this press conference."
Of all the sad, thoughtful and poignant sentiments that ensued, nothing spoke louder of Adenhart's effect than the eyes of agent Scott Boras, which weren't vacant but wet.
Looking completely distraught when his turn to speak came, Boras took several deep breaths before saying, "Nick's parents, Jim and Janet, wanted me to convey to the entire Angels organization ... "
Then the tough-as-steel agent broke down, audibly sobbing before again collecting himself to say through quivering lips, "He was a great kid. His life goal was to be a big league baseball player. He'd summoned his father [on Tuesday], telling him 'You better come [to Wednesday's game]. Something special's going to happen.'"
Something special did: Adenhart blanked the Oakland A's for six innings of what turned out to be an Angels loss.
"After the game," Boras said, "he was so elated. It was tremendous fun. A great moment for all of us, seeing a young man take a huge step."
A couple of hours after that 6-4 loss, the Angels suffered a loss much more painful and lasting. A van driven by Andrew Thomas Gallo, a 22-year-old Riverside resident, ran a red light at the Fullerton intersection of Lemon and Orangethorpe and slammed the two-door Eclipse in which Adenhart was a passenger, hurtling it against a telephone pole.

Adenhart was pulled from the wreckage by Fullerton Fire Dept. rescuers and transported within 15 minutes to University of California-Irvine Medical Center, where he was soon pronounced dead. Courtney Stewart, the 20-year-old driver of the vehicle, and another unidentified 27-year-old male passenger were declared dead at the scene.
"An absolutely horrible tragedy," said Lt. Kevin Hamilton, in charge of the traffic bureau for the Fullerton Police Dept. and lead investigator on the case.
Hamilton said Gallo would be booked on DUI, vehicular manslaughter and murder charges, but the eventual charges he will face will be up to the District Attorney. Gallo's arraignment is scheduled for Monday.
Gallo has a history of arrests for driving under the influence. While withholding specifics, Hamilton said his blood-alcohol reading was above the minimum. The officer also said Gallo was driving with a license suspended due to his DUI infractions.
Angels general manager Tony Reagins and manager Mike Scioscia sat stone-faced behind that third-floor table in sharing their memories of Adenhart.
"He was a privilege to be around. He grew as much in four years as anyone I've ever known," said Scioscia. "I can't tell you how proud I was of the great progress he made. He had arm surgery before throwing his first pitch in professional ball, so his family should be very proud."
As head of the Angels' Minor League system prior to his ascension to GM in he winter of '07, Reagins had a special relationship with Adenhart.
"He had a great energy, but didn't show it," Reagins said. "He was very poised; nothing ever seemed to faze this kid.
"He was a tremendous player, and a tremendous person who impacted the other players and the coaching staff in a very positive way. Disbelief is prevalent; we're all in shock. We will deeply miss him; it's difficult to express how much."
Although Thursday night's game is off, the entire roster will convene in its Angel Stadium locker, with Scioscia holding a meeting to begin the healing process.
"We'll have everyone together," Scioscia said, "and start to move forward. And we'll focus on supporting Nick's family."
Wednesday's start was Adenhart's fourth in the bigs. He went 1-0, with an ERA of 6.00. In four Minor League seasons, one at each rung of the ladder, the 14th-round 2004 Draft choice went 37-28 with an ERA of 3.87.
But ERA is not the most compelling acronym of Nick Adenhart's legacy. It is RIP.

Message to Obama: 'Come and take it'
New song warns, 'You don't mess with Texas, especially when it comes to guns'
Steve Vaus
Grammy-winning musician Steve Vaus, creator of the Buck Howdy character, has recorded a new song that defies those advocating gun confiscation to "come and take it."
Invoking the spirit of the Texas battle for independence, the song declares, "Come and take it if you want it. Come and take it if you think you can. Come and take it, but we'll warn you, you'll have to pry it from our cold, dead hands."
Vaus' song proves particularly timely, as President Obama this week announced 23 new "executive actions" aimed at restricting gun use and availability in the U.S. and called for Congress to pass further gun-control legislation.
Several states are mulling ways to counter the president's agenda, and many individuals fear the president is putting the U.S. on a path toward confiscating guns.
Vaus' song, however, warns that gun ownership is a God-given right and violators of that right had best beware:
"We want the freedom that God gave us," the lyrics declare, "so you best not cross that line. If you want this gun you gotta to come through us and take it, one shot at a time."
The slogan, "Come and take it," became the battle cry and banner of the Texas Revolution after the 1835 Battle of Gonzalez, in which Texians defied the Mexican government's demand to return a cannon that had been given them for self-defense. Rather than surrender the cannon to Mexican dragoons, Texians stormed the Mexican camp and drove the soldiers away.
As Vaus' song sings, "You just don't mess with Texas, especially when it comes to guns."
Listen to the song "Come and Take It" here.
Steve Vaus has performed, produced and recorded with Billy Ray Cyrus, the Jonas Brothers, Willie Nelson, Kenny Loggins, Leann Rimes, Randy Travis and Kenny Rogers; he's a four-time Grammy nominee (with a win in 2010) and has performed with the Billy Graham Crusades, at the Grand Ole Opry and at the White House.
A previous song by Vaus, "We Must Take America Back," drew massive attention when it was released in the 1990s.
"There's an unspoken fear, We're on our way down," he penned. "We must take America back, Main Street to Wall Street, cities and states. Washington, D.C., before it's too late:"
Last year, Vaus stirred controversy with his satirical look at the government's decision to impose invasive body-scans and full-body patdowns on airline travelers. Millions have viewed his work online.
The song was a parody of "Help Me Make It Through the Night":
Vaus also, in the period after 9/11, created "There Is an Eagle," which zoomed to the top of the country charts.
Visit the artist's website now.
The 1992 song, "We Must Take America Back," was the most requested song in many radio stations' inventories after listeners chanced to hear it.

Altiplano Watch
- Altiplano watch, 40 mm. Case in 18K white gold. Sapphire case back. Manufacture Piaget 1205P ultra-thin self-winding mechanical movement, the thinnest in the world (3 mm thick), with small seconds and date indications. 22K rose-gold oscillating weight.
- Man Watch G0A38130
Altiplano Watch
New complication, new double world record for thinness. For the first time ever, an Altiplano watch integrates a calendar and holds pride of place as the thinnest watch in the world in its category, for both its movement and its case. Embracing the back-to-the-basics philosophy to perfection, its 3.00 mm movement, the thinnest in the world, and its 6.36 mm thick case illustrate that technique and sophistication, however great they may be, can be comfortably housed in a small space. The 40 mm white gold-fashioned case, specifically designed to host the 1205P movement, also incorporates the date and small seconds. The dial arranged on three levels and the subtle interplay between single and double hour-markers reiterate the codes cherished by Piaget's ultra-thin, self-winding watches. A timelessly pure luxury watch, which is poised to become a genuine classic that will stand the test of time.
The twelfth movement dedicated to the Altiplano Collection, calibre 1205P is the rightful heir to the 1208P first presented by Piaget in 2010. It ventures even further beyond the boundaries of excellence with its record-breaking 3.00 mm thinness. No fewer than 221 meticulously designed and hand-assembled components compete against each other in an incredibly delicate mechanical composition. In keeping with the tradition of off-centred indicators, the date aperture at 9 o'clock merges perfectly with the small seconds set at 5 o'clock. As part of Piaget's constant effort to stand out from the crowd, the 1205P movement is equipped with a special index assembly, which bears the "P" of Piaget like a secret signature. The circular Côtes de Genève, the circular-grained bottom plate, the bevelled bridges, the sunburst wheels and the blued screws round off this exceptional movement, evoking the aesthetic codes cherished by the Swiss watchmaking brand.

The webinar, hosted by Plug In America board members Chad Schwitters and Tom Saxton, seeks to inform the informers: those who like EVs but who would like to know more about them so they can be better prepared to address the many questions and concerns the general public has about this new/old technology. It will also help those who simply want to learn about the ins and outs of the coming wave of electric cars due in 2012 and 2013.
You can sign up for the webinar at www.pluginamerica.org.
