GLASGOW Cheap Barclay Plager Jersey , Scotland, Aug. 21 (Xinhua) -- China's Lin Dan, nicknamed Super Dan by his fans, opened his bid for the sixth world title with a comfortable victory over local player Kieran Merrilees at the World Championships here on Monday.

Lin needed only 39 minutes to beat the Scottish 21-15, 21-10 at Glasgow's Emirates Arena.

"I had never met him before this match so I watched videos of his two matches and found that he is a tough opponent," said Lin Cheap Keith Tkachuk Jersey , who won the world title in 2006, 2007, 2009, 2011 and 2013.

"The match is not as easy as the score has suggested," the 7th seed said. "Everyone is trying to play his best game. My opponent was so strong and fast today."

Merrilees, ranked 66th in the world Cheap Garry Unger Jersey , said he has too much respect to Lin, one of the most successful players the sport has ever seen.

"I think what is the most difficult part is that I have grown up watching Lin Dan, he has been the player I have aspired to play like. He has done everything and more in the sport, he is a legend. I think he felt sorry for me because it was so easy for him.

"My legs were like jelly at the start, I could barely play. I have been training so hard before these championships, but when I saw his name in the draw my head went down a bit and I let it get to me. I was just lucky that he started messing around a bit at the start of the second set which allowed me to get back into it."

Lin Cheap Red Berenson Jersey , 34, also a twice Olympic champion in 2008 and 2012, will next take on Emil Holst of Denmark, who defeated Sweden's Felix Burestedtolst 21-13, 21-8.

Fourth seed Shi Yuqi, who stunned his teammate Lin to enter the All England finals this year Cheap Joe Mullen Jersey , fought off tenacious challenge from Ireland's Scott Evans before winning 23-22, 22-20.

Despite being the main mode of transport for many people, cars are often cited by environmentalists as a primary contributor to climate change; with around 30 million cars on the road in the UK, they may have a point. However Cheap Bob Plager Jersey , while the price of fuel also spirals ever upwards, there’s no need to ditch our four-wheeled friends altogether in order to have a positive impact on the environment and our wallets, as simply tweaking the way we drive can reap huge benefits for both.

Although the greenest and least expensive option is to leave the car in the drive, this isn’t always possible. However, around a quarter of all car journeys undertaken are less than two miles long so it’s worth considering whether or not you really need to make the journey by car, or if there are other cleaner – and cheaper – options. It’s also worth bearing in mind that cold engines use more fuel Cheap Bob Gassoff Jersey , and your catalytic converter will be less efficient until it reaches full temperature – both unlikely to be achieved in such a short distance!

Before turning on the engine, check to make sure that there are no in-car power accessories switched on, such as interior lights, air conditioning or headlamps. In doing so, you’ll decrease the engine load and starting up will be a little less laboured, especially on cold mornings.

If you do need to use the car Cheap Al Macinnis Jersey , try to avoid letting the car sit ‘idling’ for too long. An idling engine – where the engine turns but the car is stationary – still burns fuel, and can cause premature engine wear so if you’re going to be stopped for any more than around one minute it might be worth switching off the engine altogether – unless of course, you’re in traffic or have ‘Auto StartStop fitted’. After all, you don’t want your engine to be off when the traffic signals turn to ‘go.’ It’s also worth planning your route in advance to avoid traffic congestion, road works and getting lost!

Car aerodynamics can have a bearing on fuel consumption so remove any roof racks, bike carriers and roof boxes if not in use. These items create drag Cheap Ryan Reaves Jersey , meaning the engine has to work harder to maintain speed, while leaving them on your car while empty affects the load weight of the car.

When driving, drive according to the speed limit as fuel economy tends to decrease rapidly at speeds above 60 mph. Also try to anticipate the road ahead and drive accordingly, avoiding sharp acceleration and harsh braking as both actions wastes fuel unnecessarily. Not only will driving according to the current road conditions save more fuel, it will also help reduce accident rates, which is good news indeed when it comes to car insurance quotes in the future.

In addition to tweaking driving habits Cheap David Perron Jersey , the condition of your vehicle can also have a profound effect on fuel consumption. Check your tyre pressure regularly. Under-inflated tyres are not only dangerous but can affect the amount of fuel used, so it’s important to keep them at the correct pressure to lessen fuel consumption and the rate of wear. Ideally, check your tyres at least every two weeks and replace any that are excessively worn.

Have your car serviced regularly; a dirty air filter can lead to an incorrect fuelair mix which can increase fuel consumption, while dirty or malfunctioning spark plugs can affect the efficiency of fuel burning and lead to engine damage if not maintaine. Cheap Real Madrid Jerseys   Cheap Inter Milan FC Jerseys   Wholesale Chelsea Jerseys   Wholesale Atletico Madrid Jerseys   Wholesale Arsenal FC Jerseys   Wholesale Sevilla Jerseys   Wholesale Manchester United FC Jerseys   Wholesale Manchester City FC Jerseys   Wholesale FC Borussia Dortmund Jerseys   Wholesale FC Bayern Munich Jerseys
