George H - 21st February 2015
An awesome gym, I just keep on going back. Incredibly convenient for when I am in Uxbridge.
Karl W - 9th December 2014
Parking was a problem as in the middle of an industrial estate with designated parking. The machines seriously need an upgrade/maintenance but had almost everything needed (they appear to be the original ones from when the site first opened). Wouldn't go there again as an option
George H - 4th December 2014
Fantastic gym, great experience as always. If you are serious about lifting Panthers can't be beaten.

SALT LAKE CITY — Some state representatives are trying to get schoolchildren more physically active as they move to improve health and school test scores.
Rep. Paul Ray, R-Clinton, and Rep. Eric Hutchings, R-Kearns, are considering several approaches, including a program that introduces high heart rate physical education classes before the school bell even rings in the morning.
Other states that have adopted the program called Zero Hour have already seen test scores rise. The idea is that when the heart rate goes up, the brain gets more oxygen.
"Physical activity not only helps with their physical health, but also helping them regulate their moods and their attention, as well as helping their brains get ready to take in new information," said Dr. John Ratey, associate clinical professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.
Another approach would be to strategically place physical education in other places during the school day. "We're looking at math and science scores," Ray said. "If you have a P.E. class in third period, then your fourth and fifth periods would be math and science, or even English. It depends what the students are struggling with."
Ray and Hutchings said strenuous activities in school will lead to better mental processing and a reduction in obesity and related ailments.
State health care costs to treat obesity are projected to reach $2.1 billion a year by 2018, Ray said. Spending to restructure P.E. classes now could save Utah millions of dollars in the future, he said.
Northridge High School will start a pilot program this fall. Clearfield and Kearns high schools are also looking at participating.

About MeHi! I am a male photographer who has acquired extensive experience behind the camera.
In order to take my creativity to the next level, I took time off from shooting to become proficiently skilled in Photoshop (photoshop wizard) and Proshow (a multi media program which combines digital images, video and audio).
I am here on Model Mayhem,
1st - to gain more shooting opportunities and
2nd - to use my skills in assisting others in reaching their professional goals.
So if you receive a FR from me, its most likely I have viewed your page and placed you on my list of professionals I'd love to work with.
Any and all image comments are welcomed and respected.

La presente invención se refiere a un proceso para el craqueo catalítico de residuos plásticos mediante el contacto directo de dichos residuos plásticos en
estado fundido con un catalizador de craqueo catalítico, con el fin de romper las largas cadenas poliméricas de los plásticos y generar, como productos principales, hidrocarburos líquidos, ceras e hidrocarburos
gaseosos, de menor peso molecular. Como
catalizadores de craqueo catalítico se utilizan catalizadores de FCC frescos o en equilibrio (catalizador residual del proceso).
The environmental impact due to waste production, both domestic and industrial,
has become a maximum priority of environmental policies in developed countries. Even
though waste management has undergone a significant evolution in the last decades, the waste recovery continues being of great importance to achieve sustainable development and compatible with the environmental protection; so it has been necessary to allocate time and resources to develop processes to ensure that plastic recycling is an economically profitable process, and in this way, it helps to decrease the amount of residues designated to landfill disposal. As a result of recent European legislation for management and recovery of plastic wastes from packaging, is being promoted the development of new processes of mechanical and chemical recycling and energy recovery, in order to achieve the recycling objectives. Other type of wastes which gives good reasons for special attention are used oils, so common in our daily lives, and used in the operation of industrial machinery, automotive vehicles or transmission hydraulic systems, to mention some of the most significant examples.
The loss of their properties after the continued use is unfortunately accompanied by the generation of residual oils, therefore, it is necessary to establish measures to minimize
as much as possible the production of these hazardous wastes and promote that the
generated wastes are managed by the alternatives which ensure environmental protection and health of people. The development of new recycling ways to allow the recovery of both types of residues is very important in order to keep as many options open, especially when an existing industrial process can be used and it is not necessary any operational variation made by the industry. In this sense, integrated steel plants can be considered as an option for those wastes with technical limitations for conventional recycling. The combination of the blast furnace route and coke plant in the steel industry, provide a way to expand feedstock recycling with economic, social and environmental benefits.
In the present work we have studied the viability of this action via, the cocarbonization
of the wastes with coal for the production of coke, which feeds the blast furnace
to produce iron which subsequently will be transformed into steel.
To achieve this general objective, the specific objectives focus on the study of the
influence on the coking properties of an individual coal and three coal blends used by the industry for blast-furnace coke production, of the six more common thermoplastics in the domestic wastes (LOPE, HOPE, PP, PS, PET and PVC), and six mixtures of them, covering a wide range of compositions. Also, nine lube-oils were used. Oils have paraffin nature except one of them which is a synthetic oil containing organic esters. Two oils mixtures were prepared based on their thermal behaviour and as reference materials a coal-tar and a coaltar pitch were used.

Gophers Receive B1G Awards
May 7, 2014
Jose Mendez has been named the Big Ten Freshman of the Year, and John Carlson has been named Coach of the Year, the conference announced today. Mendez was also selected to the All-Big Ten First Team.
Mendez, a native of San Jose, Costa Rica, tied for Big Ten medalist honors this past weekend. He was the first freshman since 2009 to claim the Big Ten title. It was his third tournament win of the spring. Mendez also won the Duck Invitational and Rutherford Intercollegiate, and has finished in the top 10 of six tournaments.
He currently holds a season stroke average of 72.09, including a 70.75 mark in the spring. Mendez's season average ranks fourth all-time in program history. He has held the Gophers' No. 1 spot in the lineup since the third tournament of the season.
Carlson is in his third season at the helm of the Minnesota golf program. This season, he guided the Gophers to their first team wins since the 2006-07 season, and Minnesota has qualified for its first team NCAA Regional appearance since 2009.
The Gophers have won four tournaments in 2013-14, including their first Big Ten title since 2007. Minnesota finished eighth at the conference championships in 2010 and 2011 and seventh in 2012. Carlson's squad finished second last year, and took the next step to win the tournament this spring.
Mendez is the Gophers' first Freshman of the Year since Bronson La'Cassie in 2004, and Carlson is their first Coach of the Year since Brad James in 2003.
In addition to Mendez and Carlson's honors, sophomore Jon DuToit received Minnesota's Big Ten Sportsmanship Award.

Lives in Fort Worth, TX
50-64 year old female
We get bored easily if we don't do outdoor activities. Love to ski, whitewater, hike. I guess we aren't museum people, because we have some of the best right here where we live, so we can do that every weekend. We always love to eat of course, and like to find the best of the best restaurants and shopping also. We enjoy nightlife as well, and still think that the seventies was fun, but adapt to all of the new stuff with ease. Workout everyday, thin healthy seniors???? Okay Babyboomers! No kids, just two Yorkies.

Yes, customers came in at a steady flow filling up this restaurant. We were the second group in. Waited and waited to be served our meal. 4 groups got served before us and they arrived and ordered after us. The waiters excuse, "we are getting smashed." We ordered chowder and sandwich, excuse not accepted.

Floyd Landis crashes in Sacramento training ride
SACRAMENTO (AP) - Floyd Landis crashed his bike today in Sacramento during a training run for the Tour of California.
The former Tour de France champion still plans to compete Saturday in his first race back from a two-year doping ban, which expired Jan. 30.
Landis' crash was announced by Tour of California officials moments before he was due to appear at a news conference promoting the race, which begins with a prologue Saturday in downtown Sacramento. Stage 3 will run from San Jose to Modesto on Tuesday.
A Tour spokesman said Landis was "bruised up pretty good," but will compete in the race.
Landis won the 2006 Tour de France, but tested positive for synthetic testosterone. He spent much of the last two years attempting to clear his name.

1. The ground where a military display is held, or where troops are drilled. Also called {parade ground}.

Legislation in the Senate would consolidate the leadership of federal cybersecurity programs in a new advisory office in the Executive Office of the President. The legislation also calls for new enforceable cybersecurity standards for the public and private sectors, and a licensing and certification program for cybersecurity professionals.
Sens. John "Jay" Rockefeller (D-W.Va.), chairman of the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, and Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) announced the legislation today. They seek to streamline cybersecurity authorities, promote public awareness, enhance cybersecurity cooperation between government and industry, and increase cybersecurity education and research and development efforts, according to a statement.
According to a summary, the legislation would give the new national cybersecurity adviser authority to disconnect a federal or critical infrastructure network from the Internet if they are found to be at risk of a cyberattack. The new adviser would also oversee the development of a comprehensive national strategy for cybersecurity and lead quadrennial reviews of cybersecurity.
The senators also called for a public awareness campaign, a review of the laws that apply to cybersecurity and a report on identity management and civil liberties. They would also further involve the private sector in cybersecurity efforts through the establishment of:
Meanwhile, the Obama administration's security advisers continue their 60-day review of the country's cybersecurity efforts. That effort review is expected to produce a series of recommendations for how the federal government should organize cybersecurity efforts and engage with the private sector.

I like the idea of professional standards and I would like to see them build on the model outlined in DoD Directive 8570.01-M. In fact, a good start would be to actually begin requiring agencies to follow those guidelines. I agree with one of the comments about the implementation schedule too. I think it is far too ambitious to implement something this broad in scoep in only one year. I would be happy if they nailed down the goals and a timeline for implementing them in a year.
I read the NIST recommendations on safeguarding PII (personal identifying information) and then looked into the trouble in oversight of the internet operations of the worlds 15 (or so) nodes. The technical people are completely at odds with the management people. They don't even attend each others meetings, let alone report to or understand the actions of the other. In the 80's there was the same problem. The politicians and business leadership do not and in fact cannot understand the complexity of communications technology. The establishment of a cabinet level position is a good first step, but like all power players near the top, the President needs to have advice from many different sources so he can make an educated decision in a timely manner. Someone familiar with networking and routing software and hardware of "data" is already behind the curve. Cyberspace is in full swing, it is optical, and it is physics at the quantum level. The abilities are far beyond what people want to hear and they are faster than we can imagine. The time it takes to make policy decisions needs to be weighed against the rise of Chinese abilities in this Cyberspace arena and the time they have had to finance, build infrastructure and hack into their targets worldwide. If decisions are made to pull a network off of being online, I hope it isn't to sell more repeaters. DO NOT CUT THE DARK FIBER! Our lives may depend on being faster than digital. I also hope this is not just another "bashing Bill" campaign for not being effective enough at putting criminal hacks in jail. Brain interfaces demand that we have secure networks. Automation demands that we carefully look at what freedom is to a computer system. Without automation of detection to and from persons, we will be left to foreign subcontractors. During WWII, there was a famous maneuver at sea that prompted a Navy Admiral to say, "Fight against the delay tactics". The delay tactic is not one of adoption of more embedded hardware solutions, like HDTV set top boxes, but of warning the public, preparing for an attack and weeding out the criminal traitors selling scientists information and important technology secrets to foreign powers. The first place to start is the rescinding of the DOD sharing arrangement and a complete review of the Jason's Group scandal by the Pentagon. Slavery is unacceptable in any form in this country and so is a big business contract at the expense of security. Domination of the electromagnetic spectrum is the new frontier and nowhere is that more apparent than in the minds of forgotten implanted soldiers. Women and young girls are the new profit margin and the electrical potential of our neurons is the new national wealth.
Nothing will happen until it becomes mandatory in the private sector. Commercial enterprises spend more money in requirements "tell me what I have to do to get around this..." than they do becoming compliant. The certification process used to be known as a CCTL (Common Criteria Test Lab), certifiec by NIST & NSA under NIST's NVLAP (NIAP administered). Dot-com bust burst most of these facilities. Too bad, too, that would have been the way to go.
For the most part, the 'new' things espoused already exist in some fashion so I don't see much improvement in our cybersecurity posture as a result. My experiences in this arena to date all point to the same central weakness and that is not in the laws and regulations that already exist but in the people implementing them. The people at the top are bureaucratically heavy and intellectually light and therefore can never arrive....typical government operation. Can you imagine what a disposable diaper would look like if you charged the government with developing it?
Whatever happened to the checks and balances that our Constitutional fathers envisioned? These security standards and certifications are already in existence. This is yet another example of a knee-jerk reaction by uninformed bureaucrats who are clueless about cybersecurity, yet fancy themselves to be experts because they personally use a Blackberry.

Comments about Coral Coast Jeweled Metal Arch Arbor with Planters:
Much better quality than Arbor it replaced. Easy to assemble. The specifications list the inside width as 48 Inches. At the narrowest point (between planter boxes) it is only 40.5 inches. Of course you cannot determine that until it is put together and placed outside the gate.
One huge problem that caused a lot of extra installation time, and my main concern after the dismantling of the old RUSTED Arbor ... RUST was a huge concern for me. This is advertised as made of IRON vs Steel, which should resist rust better than my old one (lasted 12 years, but its planter containers were not on the ground with excellent drainage). I was (am) greatly concerned about the planter boxes, as there are no drain holes, and the base, without legs, would rest directly on the ground, which is a recipe for RUST. But the arbor is so pretty and sturdy, I decided to correct the size and rust problems rather than return it. I bought 2" X 2" pressure treated wood, as runners under the planters and screwed them on the base. Drilled 3 - 1/2" drain holes and painted them with brown Rustoleum, and then placed the boxes on cement slabs, rather than on dirt. By the way, there was one seam inside one planter box where a small amount of rust was visible - painted over. I also plan on putting a plastic liner inside box (with drainage holes. That should make it easier to replace dirt when changing plants). Cost less than $20.00 but it should give me many added years. Because of the curve, the inside dimension was not as big a problem as expected, as my gate is extra wide anyway. Very pleased with it! Sturdy and good design. I also touched up assembling nuts where paint came off during assembly. Rustoleum brown is pretty close to match the color.

I am currently new to C# and I need to understand simple server-client architecture!
I am currently trying to write a simple server/client program where basically a client can send a variable to a server and the server can send it to another client. Problem is that I am really blind to this as I am still very new to C# although I have some experience with Java (But still not with networking).
My question is:
- How many files will i Have to write?
- Can anybody be nice enough to provide me with a framework or example for a program like this?
- What is a TCP server?
This is intended to be for an online game. One client will roll the dice and the server must show all the other clients that this is the value the first client rolled.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The Brunswick County Sheriff's Office hosted a Booze It and Lose It campaign and issued more than 120 citations Friday, March 13, and into early Saturday morning, March 14, on U.S. 17 just south of Waterford Way in Leland.
The checking station was in collaboration wit the North Carolina Governor's Highway Safety Program St. Patrick's Day weekend campaign, sheriff's office spokeswoman Emily Flax wrote on the sheriff's office Facebook page.
Brunswick County will return to hosting two county meetings a month beginning in April.
The county already implemented a meeting time change beginning at the March board session.
At the March 16 meeting, commissioners called the meeting to order at 5:45 p.m. to hold closed session discussions at the start of the agenda before returning to open session at 6:30 p.m.
SHALLOTTE — Students at West Brunswick High School have heard drug and alcohol abstinence speeches before, but last Friday's message was different.
Almost 300 West Brunswick freshmen gathered inside the school's gymnasium March 20 on the Shallotte campus to hear it from former NFL quarterback Roman Gabriel III, the son of former NFL star Roman Gabriel.
LELAND — Leland officials have agreed to commit to building a multi-use path off Westgate Drive to receive a grant for the project.
The Wilmington Metropolitan Planning Organization (WMPO) told the town money was available for the project through the Surface Transportation-Direct Appointment Funds.
The town submitted a project to create a 10-foot multi-purpose path from Westgate Drive behind Wal-Mart to follow a power line easement through Brunswick Forest to Rice Gate Way.
BOLIVIA — Most criminal charges are levied after local law enforcement agencies thoroughly investigate a case. Not as many people are familiar with self-initiated warrants, meaning someone can make a criminal complaint in front of a magistrate, leading to the arrest of another person.
Assistant District Attorney Jamie Turnage, who sits as a prosecutor during cases stemming from self-initiated warrants, said these cases are popular in Brunswick County.
The Brunswick County Board of Education has approved a bus driver attendance incentive program that aims to encourage drivers to receive perfect attendance from now until the beginning of June.
The board voted unanimously at a March 17 policy committee meeting to approve the incentive program, which was championed by district transportation director Bobby Taylor.
Regular bus drivers and regular transportation safety assistants are eligible for the incentive program, while substitute drivers are not eligible, according to a March 17 news release.
Brunswick County's unemployment rate climbed to 8 percent in January 2015.
The rate increased from 6.3 percent in December 2014 and was closer to January 2014's high of 8.6 percent.
Brunswick County's unemployment rate last hit 8 percent unemployment in December 2013.
The county hit a two-year low at 6.0 percent in October 2014 but has increased each month since.
Unemployment numbers are released through the North Carolina Department of Commerce Labor and Economic Analysis Division.
Brunswick County Sheriff's Office Drug Enforcement Unit agents arrested a trio of Supply residents Thursday, March 19, on various drug charges.
Agents arrested 18-year-old Tariah Mona Darling, 28-year-old Kristopher Daniel Schultz and 20-year-old Jonathan Velez after a brief investigation, according to a sheriff's office news release issued Friday, March 20.
Darling, Schultz and Velez are accused of "trafficking by transportation of 4 grams or more but less than 14 grams of heroin," warrants show.
SHALLOTTE — New Hanover beat West Brunswick 17-3 in a boys' conference lacrosse game March 24 at West.
For West, freshman William Britt scored in the first quarter, junior Austin Mokma scored in the second period and senior Daniel McRainey scored in the third quarter.
West trailed 6-1 after the first quarter and 9-2 at the half. The score was 12-3 after three quarters.
The game was the third for West in its first year of lacrosse.
West Brunswick lost 14-0 to Class 4A New Hanover in a girls' conference lacrosse game March 24 at West.
The Trojans, in the third game of the first-year program, trailed 10-0 at the half. With some changes in the lineup in the second half, West got more shots on goal and allowed four goals the rest of the game.
Sarah Poulin was the goalkeeper in the first half, and she made several saves through the half, including three straight saves before New Hanover scored its final goal of the half. Freshman Tatum Jennings was the goalkeeper in the second half.

Open Sans is an open-source, humanist sans-serif typeface designed by Steve Matteson and released in 2011. The five weights with matching italics make Open Sans extremely versatile and useful for a wide range of applications. It is a ubiquitous font on the web, used by everyone from Google to WordPress. I've even heard it referred to as the "flat design" font. I like to think of Open Sans as the new Arial.
If you are looking for an alternative to Open Sans, I recommend checking out P22 Underground and Freight Sans. I think Electra would make a nice font combination paired with it.

Mortgage rates are plummeting as lenders battle it out for a spot in the best-buy tables, pushing rates to record lows.
Our guide tells you everything you need to know about fixed rate mortgages and the best deals available. It will be updated with the latest information as events change, so bookmark www.telegraph.co.uk/fixedrates
You can also see more deals on our mortgage best buy tables.
What affects fixed mortgage rates
The pricing of fixed mortgage rates is dependent on several factors, but mostly whether banks can get their hands on cheap money to lend out. They usually get this from savers or by borrowing from other banks. They do this on money markets, buying money at a certain rate – the "swap" rate – for a certain time period.
These swap rates react to expectations of future interest rates and inflation, which affect the price of mortgages.
Two and five-year swap rates were driven down for much of 2013 so the price of fixed rate mortgages fell. But those swap prices increased towards the end of 2013 and in early 2014, and with them, the average cost of new fixed mortgage deals.
But these have now dropped sharply and deals are as cheap as they've ever been - and still falling.
How have fixed rates changed?
The Government's £80bn Funding for Lending Scheme, launched in 2013, handed cheap money to banks and building societies to lend on and they have done this mostly as mortgage lending. The scheme has also pushed down swap rates, as has the Bank of England's pledge to keep rates low for several years.
Despite expectations that the first rate rise would happen last summer, economists now believe rates will remain at 0.5pc until well into next year.
In January last year the Funding for Lending Scheme was redirected from mortgage lending to small businesses. As we have warned on this page, this should lead to fixed rate mortgage pricing rising. Brokers say there's still FLS money working its way through the system so rates probably won't react to the change until later this year.
In the meantime, banks have been competing aggressively for mortgage customers by slashing their rates, particularly for five and 10-year loans. Both have fallen to new record lows.
Brokers say two-year fixed rates could fall below 1pc and five-year fixes could drop below 2pc in the next few weeks.
David Hollingworth, of broker London and Country, said with funding costs having fallen and lenders competing hard for business, mortgage borrowers have never had it so good.
"Rates have plummeted to new lows eclipsing the previous best in mid 2013 and it's not just those with huge deposits that are seeing the benefits," he said. "Being able to fix at such low levels can offer significant savings now and also protect against rate rises in the future.
"Borrowers still need to look beyond some of the eye catching rates as the very lowest rates can come with hefty arrangement fees. However lenders are catering for all types of borrower and will usually have a range of rate and fee combinations to suit every homeowner."
What is the difference between fixed and variable rate mortgages?
If you take out a fixed rate mortgage, the interest rate you pay will be fixed for the initial special period, regardless of rate changes made by the Bank of England. Fixed rates are typically two, three, five and occasionally 10 years, with the interest rate rising accordingly. Once the fixed period ends, borrowers are pushed onto the standard variable rate which can be much higher.
Variable mortgage rates can vary during the mortgage term, meaning borrowers will not have the security of knowing how much their repayments will be every month. However, if the UK economy dips, interest rates will decrease, making the repayments substantially cheaper. Also, because the mortgage comes with the uncertainty of interest rates either rising or falling in the future, the initial rate is often much cheaper than with fixed mortgages.
• Calculator: How much can I borrow?
The cheapest fixed deals
It's not all about rate. Lenders like to add extra charges, such as arrangement fees.
We have calculated the full cost on some of the best deals based on a £350,000 home with a loan of 25 years. We used a buyer with a 40pc deposit - £140,000 - and a buyer with a 10pc deposit, or £35,000.
For those who want the peace of mind of having a fixed monthly cost, and for anyone who doesn't want the risk of fluctuating interest rates, fixed rate mortgages are appealing.
Below we list the best on the market, according to broker London and Country, using the two different deposits.
Two-year fix
Yorkshire Building Society offers the cheapest deal once you factor in the arrangement fee.
• Yorkshire's two-year fixed rate mortgage charges 1.29pc, with product and completion fees of £975. Monthly repayments would be £819, or £20,638 over two years, including the fee.
• Norwich and Peterborough Building Society is offering a rate of 1.64pc on its two-year fix, with fees of £195. Monthly repayments would be £854, and £20,685 in total over the two years - including the fee.
• HSBC is offering the lowest headline rate of 1.19pc on its two-year fix, with a £1,499 fee. Monthly repayments would be just £810, but the overall cost is £20,930 once the fee is factored in.
For those with smaller deposits of 10pc, or £35,000, Yorkshire Building Society offers the cheapest deal with its two-year fixed rate mortgage at 2.94pc, with fees of £975. Borrowers would pay back £1,484 a month, or £36,590 for the total two year term including the fee.
West Bromwich has a 3.09pc deal with a £499 fee. It would cost £1,509 a month, or £36,704 in total over the two years.
Three-year fix
First Direct offers the best deal.
• First Direct is charging 1.89pc on its three year fix, with a £1,450 arrangement fee. Total repayments would be £879 a month, or £33,090 over three years (including fee).
• Barclays' three-year fixed rate at 2.05pc has fees of £999. Total repayments would be £895 a month, or £33,227 over three years (including fees).
• N&P is charging 2.34pc on its three-year fix, with a £195 fee. Total repayments would be £925 a month, or £33,504 over three years (including fee).
For those with a 10pc deposit, Yorkshire Bank offers the cheapest deal with its three-year fixed rate mortgage at 3.59pc with no fee, but this is only available to first-time buyers. Repayments would be £1,592 a month, or £57,320 over the three years including the fee.
Also good value is Yorkshire Building Society's 3.49pc deal, which has a £975 fee. It would cost £1,575 a month, or £57,685 over the life of the fix.
Five-year fix
• Barclays offers the best five-year fixed rate mortgage at 2.34pc with a £999 fee. The monthly repayments would be £925, and £56,515 over the term.
• First Direct's five-year fix costs 2.28pc. The product fee is £1,450. Monthly repayments would equate to £919, and £56,590 in total.
• Nationwide's five-year fix charges interest at 2.64pc, with no product fee. The mortgage would cost £957 in monthly repayments, and £57,418 over the five-year term.
For those with a 10pc deposit, N&P offers the cheapest deal with its five-year fixed rate mortgage at 3.84pc. The product has an arrangement fee of £1,295. Borrowers would pay back £1,635 a month, or £99,394 over the period.
Furness and Coventry building societies also offer competitive five-year deals. Furness offers a 3.89pc rate which comes with a £999 fee. Repayments would be £1,644 a month or £99,616 over the five years.
Coventry has a 4.19pc deal with no fee, making the monthly repayments £1,696 a month or £101,755 in total.
Ten-year fix
• First Direct has the cheapest 10-year fixed rate mortgage. Its 2.89pc deal comes with a £950 fee. Monthly repayments would be £984, and £119,014 in total.
• Nationwide is charging 3.04pc for its 10-year fixed rate with no arrangement fee. Monthly repayments would be £1,000, and £120,026 in total.
For those with a 10pc deposit, TSB has a 4.74pc deal, also with no arrangement fee. Monthly repayments would be £1,794, and £215,287 in total.
If you're considering fixing for 10 year don't forget to factor in the effect of early repayment charges. Some deals are more expensive to end early than others.

We are only 3 blocks from the beach and downtown restaurants and shops. Yet, our neighborhood is very private and quiet, away from the hustle and bustle. At the end of our street is a playground and Silver Lake - great for the kids.
The house is only 7 years old and in mint condition. The two master bedrooms have marble showers and baths. One master is on the first floor, the other is on the second level. There is a sunroom off the kitchen leading to a patio and deck and very well landscaped yard.
The house is over 3500 sq.ft. and all the rooms are large, bright and airy.
Two queen-size sofa beds, one in the sunroom & 1 in the living room, provide extra sleeping accommodations for 4 more persons for a total of 18.

This a wonderful area for family and friends with lots of fun-filled activities for kids and grown-ups alike. Rehoboth Beach is 1 square mile in area, making it a very walkable town. In addition to the beaches, national shore park, and restaurants, there are 3 Tanger Outlets in the area, meeting most, if not all, of your needs.
Roger Martin purchased this house in 2005
We really enjoyed our stay over the last weekend. Your house is lovely and the layout worked great for us. I would not be at all surprised if you find us as repeat renters, or if members of our group book the house for other gatherings
At this location, my family and friends were able to stay very comfortably. The decor and house was impeccable. It felt like a home and like a really large hotel. We gathered in the kitchen for the majority of the time. From the many patios and balconies that are set up for entertainment and for a great view of Rehoboth, then this is the place for you! One thing I loved is that the place was clean, and came with everything you could possibly think of. We had a total of 16 bodies with us and it was more than enough room. The beach and shopping areas were very close by. The process to rent from the owner was easy and understandable. We will definately recommend staying here to other friends as well as any readers of my review! I will most definately be coming to stay at this location again!
Our party of 10 had more than enough room. Very clean, great location, the kitchen was well stocked with every thing we could possibly need. Roger made the whole rental process very easy.
We had 14 of our family there and everyone had their own space to hang out.It was About a 12 minute walk to the beach and shopping areas.Very well stocked.
Lovely house. Comfortable, quality appointments. Good location. Dealings with owner a pleasure.
Even though I'm the latest review, I wanted to add another one, because I rely on recent reviews when I book on this site! We had the same crew of 12 people staying over the weekend and had a blast. The accommodations truly can't be beat, for the price. Additionally, when we arrived, we realized that the cable and internet were out. Normally not a necessity at the beach, but we were there for football draft night and a Nats game, so it was very unfortunate to have nothing! The owner, who lives in a different time zone, was incredibly responsive to my emails and followed up on the problem over night. While the problem was something that couldn't be fixed over the weekend, he did add a reimbursement to our security deposit. It's great business like this that will keep us coming back!
We just returned from a stay in this house and couldn't have been happier. The location was superb for a cool winter weekend and the layout was fantastic. We had 12 people and everyone was spread out and so comfortably accommodated. The quality of the decor, the cleanliness, and the spacious rooms made this a fantastic weekend for our extended family. The house is fully equipped with everything you could need, from pots and pans to extra light bulbs. Additionally, the owner was great to work with and always responded to inquiries in a timely manner.

My drivers license is coming up for renewal on May first so I went for blood tests last week and made a doctor's appointment for yesterday morning.
The phone rings Monday morning, early. It's the doctor's receptionist. "We've got your blood tests back and the doctor wants you to come in and talk about."
Instant panic. All I can think, is that it has something to do with cancer.
Those were two very long days. Days I spent not getting stuff done that needed to be done. I was either praying or reading a book. I wish I were like my sister Lisa who becomes a cleaning whirlwind when something's bothering her. My house would be spotless this morning, rather than a disastrous mess. (There are some clean utensils though, so that's something. Right??)
Waiting in the doctor's office turned me into a sweaty basket case.
He saunters in, gives me a cheery hello, and starts chatting about renewing my medications, forms I need filled out for my license . . . until finally, finally, he says " So, the blood tests are back and your iron is really low."
"My whaaat?!"
Hang on, wait, my iron is really low??
You mean I'm not exhausted because the cancer has come back?
"No, everything else came back excellent, but your iron is really low."
"How low?"
"Ummmm. . . what would a normal number be??"
"12 at the absolute lowest but really, closer to 100."
For crying out loud! That is the last thing I would have thought of. (although Henry did mention it as a remote possibility, the smarty pants.)
Turns out that you can't eat red meat once or twice a month without consequences. I am not fond of red meat. The only time I eat it is if we go to a restaurant that serves prime rib, or perhaps a nice beef dip. Or if I make spaghetti . . .
The prescription? Iron pills three times a day for two weeks and then once a day for the next several months. LOTS of red meat. No tea, because the tannins inhibit iron absorption. :(
So. . . here it is, my doctor's note for bloggers
"To whom it may concern,
Rosa may not blog as often as she would like as her iron is very, very, low causing her to wish she could just go back to bed an hour after she gets out of it.
Please be patient with her. It can take six months or more for her iron levels to go back up."
Dr. Y
Okay, Okay, there isn't really such a thing as a doctor's note for bloggers, but if there were . . . He would totally write one for me. He's awesome that way.
I have a ton of posts backed up in my head, but, I also have a ton of work to do to get ready for my upcoming plant sale and there are a few fun photography projects on the books as well, so we will see what we can do.
I have been dropping by Facebook a little more often these days. It it is a lot easier (and quicker) to post little updates there.If you want to see what's happening, just head over to my Facebook page and hit the Like button to stay up to date. :D
That said . . . there are so many posts swirling around my brain that they've got to come out eventually, so . . . stay tuned! I'll be back as often as I possibly can.

Oh, that was a few weeks ago.... anyhoo...
I just thought I'd mention what name they decided to go with (despite some of my nice suggestions...) drum roll, please............ OLEDWorks. Exciting, isn't it? Well, not everyone feels creative names are the best way to go, I guess. But, on the other hand, they have have found all the financial backers they needed and have incorporated and officially hired all the people that have been working for over a year without any contract, including my hubby. Let's just hope the whole thing will take off and make some money for everyone... :0)

Olympus EVolt E-620 Review
The Olympus E-620 is among the smallest DSLRs. At the same time, it is designed to be more flexible and advanced than most entry-level models.
The promise of the Four-Thirds system, on which the E-620 is based is to deliver quality images in a smaller package by using a smaller 2X crop sensor and mounting lenses exclusively designed for that sensor size. The Olympus E-620 is built around a sensor with 12 megapixels and sensitivity up to ISO 3200. It features built-in image stabilization and dust-reduction, which was pioneered by Olympus. Despite its smaller size, this digital camera has a wealth of features and a large number of direct controls for efficient operation.
Ergonomics - How easy is it to use?
The Olympus E-620 is built as a diminutive camera with all the components of a traditional DSLR. The short grip provides a comfortable hold on the camera which is well secured by a finger indentation on the grip and an outward curve on the back. On the top of the grip one finds in very close proximity the shutter-release and EC button. Both are comfortable to reach and switching between them is quick. The camera's short height also means that in will rest on the lower palm of your hand.
This DSLR is littered with buttons, the only thing missing compared to a high-end model is a second control-dial. it only leaves a small but comfortable space for the thumb on its back. The camera itself as more angles than most modern cameras do. This helps access buttons easily.
The top of the camera has the usual prism bump with a standard hot-shoe. To the left is the flash-release button which also serves to select the flash-mode and apply FC when used with the EC button. Just behind it is the drive-mode button which includes continuous, self-timers and remote-trigger options. Bracketing is controlled separately which is a great thing, particularly to allow it to be used in conjunction with the self-timer. Speaking of bracketing, the E-620 supports exposure and flash bracketing, as well as virtual bracketing of WB and ISO. A virtual bracket is made from a single exposure with the file being saved 3 times with different parameters. This is similar to converting a RAW image multiple times in different ways. Strangely this form of bracketing works in RAW mode as well.
To the other side of the viewfinder chamber, which also has the E-620's built-in flash, is the mode-dial which is on top of the power-switch. Next to the mode-dial, we find the only control-wheel. The dials and power-switch have nice clicks to prevent accidental changes. They move well and firmly. The shutter-release is pretty standard with a distinct half-way point and short travel to full-press from there.
The back of the camera is where most of the buttons are. It also, as usual, has the viewfinder and LCD display. If you are considering the E-620 it is important to know that the viewfinder is tiny and dark, something which can be a deal breaker. This may depend on your vision but I found it very hard to verify focus through the viewfinder, so much that I kept thinking I must have bumped the diopter-correction dial. This is the only serious ergonomic issue found with this DSLR.
The LCD screen is hinged to make it movable. The hinge is solid enough that this does not seem affect the solidity of the camera. The position of the hinge is such that the LCD has to move sideways before tilting. This is rather a poor choice as far as movable LCDs go because seeing the screen from a high or low angle requires protruding the LCD completely to the left of the camera. It does work well for self-portraits though. The screen is dated in terms of brightness and sharpness but still quite usable. In live-view the LCD exposure-priority except in S and A mode. So one does not see under-exposure in these modes.
Above and to the left of the LCD there is a menu and info button. The info button toggles a status display on the rear LCD when using the viewfinder and goes through various display modes in live-view. The menu button does what is expected.
To the other side of the viewfinder, there is a customizable AE-L/AF-L button, a customizable Fn button and a focus-point selection button. The remaining buttons on the back are: playback, live-view, delete, stabilization and the 5-way controller which is made of 5 separate buttons. Each of these is assigned a function: up is white-balance, right is autofocus, down is ISO and left is metering. It would have been better if the ISO button was the highest, in place of the playback button and the metering mode button be just below it, in place of the live-view button. This would make operation more efficient as the most used functions while shooting would be accessible without shifting your grip. It would be an improvement but the current arrangement is pretty usable.
The Olympus E-620 has a choice of 5 metering patterns. The usual multi-segment, center-weighed and spot are there plus two modes unique to Olympus: highlight and shadow based spot metering. These extremely useful metering modes work like spot metering except that they meter for highlights or shadows, instead of mid-town. The reasons these are worth it is that it is easy to determine the brightest or darkest area where details are needed.
Further functions of the camera are setable via a tabbed menu system or an interactive status screen. The central OK button activates the status screen which is quite easy to use. The menu system is easy to navigate but it a mess in terms of organization. Luckily there are external buttons for most common operations. The most common deeply hidden function is WB fine-tuning.
The settings menu has a whopping 69 items. This camera is extremely customizable, from minor details such as dial rotation to important camera customization. The most useful options include: AE-L/AF-L options per focus-mode, choice of AE-L metering pattern, info screen choices, one-touch custom white-balance assignable to the Fn button, WB fine-tuning and control over noise-reduction. The first two letters of filenames can be changed but sadly not the numbering convention with is based on the date, day of month first. This causes files to sort out-of-order when a images cross a month boundary.
