" Type: Meat "
If you are a vegetarian then Quorn is probably sometimes one of your saviours. Not because we want something that makes us feel like we are eating meat but more for the variety and extra nutrients it gives.
I don't eat meat substitutes too often simply because I didn't like the general meat experience when I was a meat eater and don't like to repeat that experience but sometimes, as mentioned above, you fancy a change and your diet requires it. That's when I would turn to something like this product and I must admit that I do have it perhaps once every few weeks as it is a very versatile item.
These Quorn Pork Style Ribsters are a great all rounder as they are less than 5% fat, an excellent source of protein, and contain only 105 calories per serving! They cost about £2 but I would say this was well worth it for 168g (easily 2 servings at least).
Whilst cooking them, they have a frying onions sort of smell which is quite appetising. Their flavour is a little similar to this too but on first bite you notice more the smokey flavouring that it is covered with and honestly this can really add something special to a meal! The texture is soft and supple and is very similiar to how I remember soft chicken tasting (but don't take my word for it as it was a very long time ago) and although I don't like meat substitutes that remind me of a meat texture, these are actually quite pleasant for a change from vegetable and pulse textures.
I have used these Ribsters served in so many different ways but one of the quickest and my most favourite is to cook it in a pan with a little olive oil and then to serve inside a big baguette with fried onions and mushrooms, with a little french mustard and mayo and believe me, this is a really mouthwatering and quick meal if you are in a hurry (and aside from the bread it is pretty low fat too). Another great way to cook this is with vegetables and potatoes covered in a little white wine sauce or pepper sauce (again as you would do with a steak). I have also cut these into cubes to add to a curry or to have with rice and stew. They really are versatile! The only thing I would avoid is reheating them as they go a bit soggy and eating them cold as they do loose flavour if left overnight.
For those of you who are unsure what Quorn actually is (as I was) it is made from a mycoprotein (a kind of natural fungus), water, hydrated textured vegetable protein, wheat gluten, pea protein, wheat starch, vegetable fat, palm oil, milk protein, onion, dried egg white, paprika and beetroot extract and tapioca starch.
Having researched a little into this, the only problems I know of are that this product is not Vegan and I don't think the dried eggs or dairys used are free range but many of their other foods expressly mention that the egg contained in teh ingredients is free range.
In general I would recommend these Ribsters becuase of their lovely flavour, texture and versatility!

Bryan B.wrote a review of Five Ten Prism Lace-up Climbing Shoe on June 27, 2009
I have been wearing evolv forever and thought I would try something a little different. After ordering an aggressive size for my foot I realized the Prism was extremely small. Tried 2 more times and finally found the right fit, which happened to be my actual street shoe size. After breaking them and getting used to the stiffness/angled toe I have grown to love them. The stiff toe is great for edging and providing nice power. The "magic fingers" heel feels secure and doesn't slip. I like how it conforms to the shape of the hold when used properly. The ONYXX rubber is super sticky and provides an extra level of confidence on flags. The uppers are amazing! The perforations keep my feet cool and comfy, which makes my feet sweat less and inevitably... don't make my feet stink! My evolvs would get nasty after a few sends. All in all, a great shoe. I primarily boulder but I can see them doing well in just about every aspect.

On August 26, Marlboro hosted the annual meeting of the Vermont Campus Sustainability Network, a group of sustainability coordinators from colleges and universities across the state. Seven colleges were represented, including University of Vermont, Green Mountain College, and Norwich University, and 17 people attended the meeting—one of the biggest meetings in recent years, contrary to expectations given Marlboro's location far away from most other Vermont campuses. Attendees also included representatives from Efficiency Vermont, who sponsored the event.
After being welcomed by Ellen McCulloch-Lovell, Marlboro president, the group discussed their experiences and campus initiatives in energy conservation, carpooling, socially responsible investing, and more sustainable food options. A highlight of the meeting was a visit to the Marlboro greenhouse and farm, where attendees learned about these student-initiated projects to bring more focus on local food at the college. Marlboro looks forward to further engagement with, and new ideas from, this network of like-minded campuses.

Silva's journey carries him to Padres
Silva's journey carries him to Padres
It's a question Silva couldn't completely answer for himself Tuesday, even as he stood in the Padres' clubhouse at PETCO Park, a day before making his Major League debut with a start against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
How did Silva end up in the Padres organization? The simple answer is by truck, as Silva drove a Nissan Titan some 1,200 miles to get from his home in Mazatlan, Mexico, to the Padres' Spring Training home in Peoria, Ariz.
In hindsight, the two-day drive that includes a sleepover in Mexicali -- a border city that serves as an important piece to Silva's unlikely tale -- was likely easier than the means it took the right-handed to get a chance to pitch in the United States.
No, Silva's tale is not that of an undiscovered gem, a scouting oversight. It turns out that Silva, who didn't start pitching until he was 27, has been trying everything in his power to reach the United States for the past four seasons.
"In Mexico, you can't come to the United States unless your team wants to sell you ... I know there's been interest in him from Major League teams since he was 28," said infielder Edgar Gonzalez, who has played the past four winters with Silva for Mazatlan.
"The team in Mexico [Monterrey Sultanes] would ask for $1 million for him and no team is going to pay $1 million for a 32-year-old pitcher. He was stuck there. Walter wanted to come here and pitch in the United States.
"He would go to the general manager and ask for him to give him a shot. I know that he said, 'Once I make it to the big leagues, I will give you the money.' They didn't want to sell him. It wasn't up to Walter."
Adrian Gonzalez, the Padres' All-Star first baseman and Gold Glove winner, went to bat for Silva after the Caribbean World Series in Mexicali, where Silva pitched well in front of Padres manager Bud Black.
"I think I was interested more than anything. ... I thought he could be something," Black said of his trip to Mexicali to watch Silva. "On a scouting scale, he had average Major League pitches across the board. There were a number of teams on him."
Gonzalez talked to team officials from Monterrey and asked if they would allow Silva, who was also being courted by the New York Yankees, a chance to pursue his dream. The Sultanes relented, though under the contractual condition that they would receive $400,000 if Silva made the team.
"Now that I'm here, it's really a dream come true. I'm here and happy to be here," Silva said. "My wife and my son are very happy. I have a lot of family driving from Mazatlan. It's long drive, like 25 hours to get here, but they're coming to watch me pitch. I'm very excited for it. I'm excited to be a part of the Padres."
The Padres feel the same way about the converted outfielder who, despite a bum ankle in spring, pitched his way onto a team that had openings in its rotation. How long Silva will stick, of course, is completely dependent on him, though he has his share of supporters in the clubhouse.
Like Adrian and Edgar Gonzalez, who lobbied general manager Kevin Towers and Black to take a look at Silva, who had a career record of 30-32 with a 4.62 ERA in the Mexican Summer League, though he, according to Edgar Gonzalez, always pitched better for some reason in the winter for Mazatlan.
In short, this wasn't a case of the Gonzalez brothers pulling for a friend because, well, he was a friend. They saw what he could do.
"What we saw every year was a guy who might not be a high-end starter here but can be a back-end starter in the Major Leagues," Edgar Gonzalez. "He throws strikes every time. He doesn't walk a lot of guys. When he's on, he has all four pitches and can throw a very good game. You don't need anything more than that."
Well, other than an opportunity.

Plea for pre-K classes isn't easy to laugh off
By Charles Swenson
A ripple of laughter spread through the room when School Board Member Teresa Bennani suggested using a portion of the $250,000 district staff wanted to set aside from the reserve fund to balance the budget to create more all-day preschool classes. Bennani chairs a committee that is looking at ways to improve preschool education.
Instead, the board agreed to cap the money it takes from the $7.8 million reserve fund at $150,000, using $142,000 to restore a summer arts program and middle school sports. Those items had been on a list of proposed cuts aimed at closing a $2 million gap in the district's $68.3 million operating budget.
Bennani, who made the motion, said the $8,000 remaining should be used to fund the district's $12,000 share of a water safety program for second-graders at the YMCA.
She didn't give up on preschool funding, and raised the issue again when the district finance director gave the board a breakdown of the money that could be raised if the board decides to increase property taxes. State law limits the increase based on a formula that includes population growth and the consumer price index. The same law exempts residential property from taxes for school operations.
With no population growth, the district can raise taxes by 1.7 mills, which equals an inflation factor of 1.6 percent. That would raise about $650,000, said Lisa Johnson, the finance director.
Bennani said the board should consider designating a portion of the additional tax to funding all-day preschool in some schools.
"We laugh about it, but I truly believe if we're going to bridge the gap [in achievement], a quality pre-K is worth the investment," she said.
She estimated it would cost $90,000 for an all-day pre-K class, and suggested adding classes at Sampit and Andrews elementary schools.
"You save money in the long run," Bennani said.
Johnson said funding classes at selected schools might run afoul of the portion of the federal education law that funds programs for low-income and minority students.
"It's not straightforward," said Board Member Arthur Lance, the former principal of Plantersville Elementary.
Lance said he once managed to get funding for such a class, but the state took it away because the district wasn't funding the class at all elementary schools.
Bennani said she would like a recommendation from district staff on funding all-day pre-K at schools where those programs have waiting lists.
In two years on the board, "I have seen some pre-K positions go and [classes] cut to half-day," she said.
Superintendent Randy Dozier said those are the only cuts in recent years. "You can take your pick of the things you'd like to fund," he said, citing the loss of mental health counselors and elementary school science teachers.
If the board wants to raise taxes, "it's been two years since our teachers received a salary increase," Dozier said. "They've worked really hard the last couple of years and had excellent results."
Dozier said later that he isn't recommending a tax increase, and is hopeful the district won't have to use its reserves.
"That situation would be a worst-case scenario," he said.
With nearly 1,400 contracts for 2012 being delivered to employees today, Dozier said the revenue from a tax increase wouldn't go very far toward raising salaries.
And although he believes the economy is improving, he isn't sure the district wants to commit to the recurring cost.
Still, he said, "if you're going to consider something, it would be salaries for people who haven't had an increase in two years."

In New York, it's often said that "everyone's a critic." The phrase may have had its origins in the theater world but these days is best applied to the city's thriving restaurant industry. Every New Yorker seems to have a favorite neighborhood dining spot or an opinion on the hottest new place in town. So imagine the chance to try dozens of restaurants in one evening, all in the same location! Last night my wife and I attended "Best of the West", the fifth annual edition of a culinary tasting event showcasing the finest restaurants on Manhattan's Upper West Side. The event's honoree was a real critic, and an insatiable one at that, former New York magazine restaurant reviewer Gael Greene (who, if in attendance, kept her wide-brimmed hat pulled down all evening). This is the kind of organized fun that ordinarily I would not be seen dead partaking in, but we had accepted two tickets generously offered to us by a friend. I say "generously" because I believe the offer was a gesture of genuine kindness, though having now successfully survived the evening I am beginning to wonder if the tickets were not offloaded onto our unsuspecting selves by someone who knew what they were otherwise in for.
I worked in the food and wine industry for several years, and when I finally left my feelings could be summed up in one word: relief. That may seem excessive, but last night those feelings came flooding back. I'd seen these kinds of events before, so to an extent I knew the drill. However my initial skepticism had been softened by my optimistic wife who insisted we'd have a good time, or at the very least a free dinner. I reluctantly obliged, but my fears appeared to have been justified when we arrived to find a line of people snaking halfway down 77th Street. Strips of reinforced fluorescent paper were slapped on our wrists and we sheepishly joined the back of the queue. Judging by the size of the line and the ages of the eager people in front of us I presumed that a Duran Duran reunion tour was also kicking off inside the jumbo wedding tent that had been erected for the occasion in a school playground on Columbus Avenue.
That we were clearly among the youngest attendees was no surprise since tickets for the event started at a staggering $125 per person. Surely others had also been given free passes. How else to explain the crowd of people apparently content to drop that kind of cash in order to sample dozens of two-bite portions, when a proper meal at a nice restaurant could be enjoyed sitting at a table for considerably less? I soon realized the event was the perfect marriage of big city salaries and suburban tastes (or at least where the two come to mingle). The New Taste of the Upper West Side website offers the following advice: "For those who would like one-on-one encounters with the star-chefs before the evening revs up, we recommend VIP tickets." Those go for two-hundred bucks a pop, but I'm not sure what the extra seventy-five buys you. Just what exactly does a "one-on-one encounter" with a star-chef entail? Does he take you back to his kitchen and show you his utensil drawer?
As we were herded into the vast feeding pen (as my wife so accurately described it), stewards took wine glasses equipped with blue lanyards and placed them around our necks, presumably so we could practice the sophisticated art of hands-free drinking. From the other side of the playground's chain-link fence I watched ordinary people going about their business in the warm May evening, on their way home from the park, or on their way out to dinner. I longed to escape and join them, but the line of cops to my left prevented me from making any sudden moves. I lowered my shades and tentatively entered the arena.
"Arena" is the most appropriate word for the venue, for this was not a restaurant, nor even a party, but rather a barbaric spectacle worthy of Ancient Rome's notorious appetite for food and flesh. The object of the game is to sample every one of the forty-odd dishes being frantically prepared by the overworked sous-chefs hunched over fold-out tables. Faced with this incohesive smorgasboard, my wife and I took one look at each other and decided to bend the rules slightly, heading straight for the wine and liquor stand. Even at this early stage it seemed excessive alcohol intake was our only hope of salvaging the evening.
I was on my third Aperol Spritz by the time I managed to get near any food. Pushing through a pack of salivating young women in heels I was able eventually to scrounge a small plate containing two sushi rolls, which we considered a satisfactory appetizer. The next two restaurants were both serving ravioli, or as the heavyset man standing two inches behind me called them, "ravioles". I had initially planned to plot my consumption strategically, so as to replicate as closely as possible a true dining experience. Clearly this would be an impossible task, and my plan was hastily discarded as it became evident I'd be better off taking whatever I could get. Every stand was occupied by a clamoring mob of plastic-fork wielders or an impatiently indulgent queue matched in length only by the line for the portable toilets (that's what you get for $125). Any chance of deriving any pleasure whatsoever from what dishes I was able to sample was rendered an impossibility by the entirely unpleasant setting. I don't care which celebrity chef made it, nothing tastes good when served on a plastic saucer and eaten while standing next to a large recycling bin.
The generally hellish atmosphere was made worse by the repulsive Europop din that pulsated incessantly from all corners of the giant marquee. When we had arrived, Joe Bataglia & The New York Big Band were midway through a cheery set of standards, but they'd swiftly taken a break, possibly due to general nausea. When I got to their end of the room I leaned over towards a saxophone player and implored him to begin their second set. Slumped in his chair, the aging musician gently lifted his hands as if to speak, then lowered them again and stared at the floor. I think he'd lost the will to live.
By now the music had been blocked out anyway by the licking of fingers and loosening of belts, as unsated customers gorged themselves in a vain attempt to ensure they were getting their money's worth. Meanwhile, I was bombarded by inane chatter at every turn: "Omigod, this is like the best lobster roll ever!" or "Have you tried the meatballs? They're a-mmayyyyy-zing!" The event's website had promised "a multitude of tastings to tantalize, stimulate and motivate discerning palates." I was motivated alright – but only to get the hell out of there. Unfortunately discerning palates rarely remain such once the term "all you can eat" has been released into an air of bloodthirstiness. I have no doubt more food was wasted than consumed last night amidst the bacchanalia.
To my bitter disappointment I didn't spot one celebrity chef. How a celebrity chef differs from a regular chef I do not know for sure, but I think it has something to do with the size of his hat. That such a category of stardom could exist is utterly ridiculous to me, but wholly indicative of America's twisted and complicated relationship with food. Such is this country's insistence on equating taste and eating habits with class and education that ordinary food, the kind the rest of the world prepares and enjoys on a daily basis without any song and dance, has been elevated to something that only a television personality or top chef can possibly create. Consequently all food is expected to fall into one of two categories: "Ewwww…Gross!" or the aforementioned "A-mmayyyyy-zing!" Good food is not art nor rocket science — if it were either it is unlikely the human race would have advanced far beyond the Neolithic Era. Nor is it supposed to be a substitute for sexual satisfaction (although my wife remains convinced that none of these so-called gourmands could have been getting much action elsewhere).
Grabbing a handful of mini-pastries from the dessert zone we made our escape by heading for a side exit, just as the band returned to play "Copacabana". The fading daylight caught me by surprise, piercing my weary eyes. We'd been inside the tent for a total of forty-five minutes: two had involved eating, the remaining forty-three were spent being shoved in the back. Having failed to find a (possibly non-existent) coffee stand we walked a few blocks down Columbus and bought our own, still reacclimatizing to the civilization we'd abandoned less than an hour earlier. We then sat in the park and sipped it as the night grew dark, still in a state of culture shock, horrified and bewildered by the grotesque scenes just witnessed. As I wrestled to remove my fluorescent wristband, my stomach began to feel like it was digesting a lead weight, even though I barely recalled eating anything besides a greasy tuna-fish slider. For the next hour the pastries sat untouched on the bench beside us, and remained wrapped for the duration of the seventy-block walk home. Frankly, I'd lost my appetite.

Monkey thought to be extinct 'rediscovered' in Indonesia: Scientists find rare Miller's Grizzled Langur in jungle
Scientists working in the dense jungles of Indonesia have "rediscovered" a large, gray monkey so rare it was believed by many to be extinct.
They were all the more baffled to find the Miller's Grizzled Langur – its black face framed by a fluffy, Dracula-esque white collar – in an area well outside its previously recorded home range.
The team set up camera traps in the Wehea Forest on the eastern tip of Borneo island in June, hoping to captures images of clouded leopards, orangutans and other wildlife known to congregate at several mineral salt licks.
The pictures that came back caught them all by surprise: groups of monkeys none had ever seen.
In the past they were hunted to near extinction for their meat and bezoar "stones," he said, which can, on occasion, be found in their guts.
Bezoars, as Harry Potter fans know… are believed by some to neutralize poison.
Source: NY Daily News
This story will be of interest to cryptozoologists who will take it as evidence that mystery animals are still out there. And, that animals declared extinct may have been prematurely written off – thylacines, giant lizards, giant ground sloths, etc. But, there is a difference. The monkeys were recorded outside of where they were previously documented to live. There was an incomplete data set from which to go by. So, oops. To extrapolate and say those other large animals are out there is a big stretch. People have looked. They have not found any evidence worth considering.
This is more proof that camera traps are handy investments. Yet, we still have not found the orang pendek in Indonesia. And, we haven't found Bigfoot in America (loaded with camera traps). Camera traps catch elusive, rare creatures frequently. It's exciting when they do. But, as noted in the article, these particular and striking monkeys remain at risk for their meat and use as traditional cures.

Football Agents Took Home $163M In Fees From Clubs, FIFA Research Discovers
FIFA research published on Tuesday showed that football agents "took a bigger cut" from int'l player transfers in '12, even as trading in the billion-dollar market fell by $290M, according to Graham Dunbar of the AP. Player representatives took $163M in fees from clubs, at 28% average commission, "as their total take from cross-border transfers rose" $33M in '12. In an annual survey, FIFA subsidiary Transfer Matching System stated, "2012 witnessed a greater involvement of intermediaries." English clubs "spent the most," with FIFA processing $59M in fees to agents in int'l deals. Italian clubs paid $41M and Russian clubs $23M, and "agents also banked payments from players" which FIFA's system didn't record (AP, 4/16). BLOOMBERG'S Tariq Panja reported that "clubs paid fees to recruit players from other teams" only in 14% of cases, while 70% involved out-of-contract players. The remainder was made up of loan agreements. FIFA "didn't say why spending was down" from a year earlier, though some of the reduction "may involve European teams," football's biggest spenders, "trimming outgoing costs in preparation to meet new break-even regulations" (BLOOMBERG, 4/16).
BRAZILIAN TALENT IN DEMAND: REUTERS' Keith Weir reported "Brazil's reputation as a source of top football talent was underlined" on Tuesday by a report showing that Brazilians were the most heavily traded players on the int'l transfer market last year. TMS General Manager Marc Goddard said that "it was too early to say whether the global economic crisis or pressure on clubs to curb losses was dampening the market." Oscar, who joined Chelsea from Internacional last July, "was one of almost 1,500 players with Brazilian nationality" involved in int'l transfers in '12 (REUTERS, 4/16).
Late Kickoff For FA Cup Final Riles Man City, Wigan Fans Who Will Face Travel Headaches
Tens of thousands of fans "face the prospect of major travel difficulties" after the FA ignored advice from rail operators and announced that next month's FA Cup Final between Man City and Wigan Athletic would kick off at 5:15pm, according to Ebner & Munnery of the LONDON TIMES. The governing body was warned by Virgin Trains that supporters would be "unable to return to the North West" following the match on May 11, but "stuck with the late afternoon kick-off time." Fans of Wigan and Man City "are likely to miss their last trains back, a possibility that will be significantly increased if the match has to be decided by extra time and penalties." The FA "has defended its decision," and invited fans to use National Express, Wembley's "official coach partner." Wigan Athletic Supporters Club Committee member Jason Taylor said, "They've scuppered all of us. We're not totally surprised, but we were hoping they would have the common sense to look at this and come to a different decision -- giving fans a decent crack at getting home." The last train back to Manchester on the day is at 9pm, but Wigan fans "will need to be even quicker as their last train leaves London's Euston station at 8.31pm." That City and Wigan fans will be using similar train lines and motorways is an "added complication" to travel arrangements (LONDON TIMES, 4/16).
MADE FOR TV: In London, Andy Hunter reported the FA has been "accused of prioritizing television revenue over supporters' welfare." For the second season in a row, the FA's showpiece event "will be played on an evening when train services from London to the north will be disrupted by engineering work." Wigan Athletic Supporters Club believes that decision "should allow the final to start at 3pm." Taylor: "It seems the FA are more interested in what the television companies want than the logistics of supporters getting to and from their final." FA General Secretary Alex Horne last week "defended the late kick-off times on the basis of their appeal to a television audience." Horne: "We're now used to consuming our football in those time slots. It really works. Lunchtime kick-offs just haven't got the same appeal" (GUARDIAN, 4/16).
TRAIN TROUBLE: The MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS reported Virgin is "unlikely to put extra trains on." In a statement, Virgin said, "The unpredictability of exactly when the match will end, coupled with the earlier close down of the route for essential maintenance and inspection means that the planning of any additional services is extremely difficult given the high numbers of supporters that would attempt to return to the North West that evening" (MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS, 4/16). In London, Ladyman & King reported Virgin did say it "would help City and Wigan supporters return to the North West a day after the Cup final." Virgin's statement added, "We are of course more than happy to bring Wigan and Manchester City supporters down to London on the Saturday and for them to return on the Sunday. We are looking at the possibility of running an additional service from Wigan on Saturday morning" (DAILY MAIL, 4/16).
HOTELIERS DREAM: Also in London, Tony Barrett opined for London hoteliers, the late kick-off is "great news." For the tens of thousands of supporters who will travel to London from the Northwest, "it is an absolute inconvenience, one that borders on being an imposition." The FA "will defend itself vigorously." The kick-off time "is the same as last year's, they will say." They will also point out, "quite rightly, that this is the continuation of an established policy and not a deviation from it." However, such defenses "will count for nothing to those who will leave Wembley after the final with very little chance of public transport being available to take them back to Manchester or Wigan" (LONDON TIMES, 4/16).
Borussia Dortmund Fans Brawl While Standing in Line For Champions League Tickets
Fans of Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund "engaged in fights while standing in queue for Champions League semifinal tickets at several locations," according to BILD. Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke "has admitted mistakes in the way the club handled the ticket sales." He said, "We underestimated the unbelievable demand. It's our fault. We will learn our lessons from this and not offer a free-for-all ticket sale in the future." Dortmund will host Real Madrid on April 24 at 9pm local time (BILD, 4/16). The London TELEGRAPH reported "brawls broke out amongst supporters waiting in queues at separate locations in Dortmund's city centre as the tickets available were snapped up within an hour of going on sale." Police had organized the lines from midnight on Monday after organized gangs "had tried to aggressively jump in, but officers reported fights breaking out in the early hours of Tuesday morning." After some supporters began camping out 36 hours before tickets went on sale, Dortmund President Reinhard Rauball and club icon Norbert Dickel "handed out hot dogs and drinks to the queuing masses" (TELEGRAPH, 4/16).
Football Notes: Two Russian Clubs Threaten Media Outlets With Legal Action
Russian clubs FK Krasnodar and Krylya Sovietov Samara "have threatened legal action against several media outlets after being accused of fixing a league match between the two sides" over the weekend. Several Internet sites reported that Saturday's game in Krasnodar "was fixed after Samara, fighting to avoid relegation, beat the home team 3-0" (EUROSPORT, 4/16). ... Romanian football club Rapid Bucharest's players "have gone on strike and will not play their Romanian top-flight fixture at FC Viitorul Constanta on Saturday in a protest over unpaid wages." The club's management "was not available for immediate comment on Tuesday" (EUROSPORT, 4/17). ... La Liga FC Malaga Manager Manuel Pellegrini's agent Jesus Martinez on Tuesday claimed that the club "owed his client wages," alleging that it had reneged on promises to get its finances in order. Martinez alleged that club Owner Qatari Sheikh Abdullah bin Nasser Al-Thani "had not kept his word and criticised Spanish media for not holding the Andalusian club to account more" (AFP, 4/16). ... As EA Sports "prepares to unveil its plans for the launch of FIFA 14, evidence suggests Brazilian 2nd division sides will be included in the new game, speculation has renewed over when women will be included." Rumor also has it that Gary Neville "will be included as a commentator" (INSIDE WORLD FOOTBALL, 4/16).

- Bahrain Grand Prix
Brawn keen for gearbox penalty rethink
- Drivers:
- Ross Brawn
- |
- Lewis Hamilton
- Teams:
- Mercedes
Ross Brawn believes the gearbox penalty regulations should be revisited after Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton received a five-place penalty in Bahrain following damage from a tyre failure.
Pirelli suspects debris caused the tread to come away from the canvas of his left-rear, and the force of the tyre disintegrating resulted in suspension failure and damage to the car's gearbox. Mercedes had to rebuild the rear of his car ahead of qualifying and in the process of changing the gearbox incurred a five-place grid penalty.
Brawn said Hamilton had been unhappy about the penalty, which was essentially out of the team's control, but admitted it was difficult to rewrite the regulations to cover all eventualities.
"I think Lewis would agree with you because an external influence has resulted in a penalty," Brawn said when asked if the penalty seemed unfair. "I think the difficulty we have in the future is when you have marginal cases - in this case it wasn't - and you don't know whether it was something aggravated by the driver. Perhaps if it isn't a gearbox failure as such, but the problem occurs and maybe it was partially caused by the driver. Then we get into these long debates about the percentage.
"But it's certainly worthy of looking at. It is frustrating to get a penalty when there has been an outside influence. Luckily it doesn't happen too often but if it happens at a critical time in the championship it will be doubly frustrating. It's probably worth looking at again."

For example it doesn't really catch the forkIO concept and the interactions between threads. For this model, forkIO is just a side effect like everything else and if you takeMVar a value, then it comes "from the world", which isn't very useful. But don't bother, because that model works most of the time. Personally I have switched from your model to the model of an embedded DSL. It's a simpler mental model and doesn't interpret too much.

Are you a name-brand shopper? If so, then "5x7/Houston" probably isn't for you. Billed as an "exhibition and art spree," it's an annual fund-raiser for the Austin-based organization Arthouse. The event presents hundreds of small works (they're all five by seven inches), displayed anonymously, by both established and emerging artists from Texas and beyond. Visitors can pick whatever strikes them or try to find works by artists they recognize; when a work is purchased, the artist's true identity is revealed. All of the pieces are $100, so it's a great opportunity to get some amazing art for a low, low price. Participating Houston artists include Danny Yahav Brown, Patrick Phipps and Scott Calhoun. All the proceeds go to Arthouse, which is a nonprofit that organizes exhibitions and programs statewide and promotes contemporary art in Texas. At "5x7/Houston," you'll find suspense and bargain shopping -- all for a good cause. The exhibition opens from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday, September 5. You can continue shopping from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, September 6. Mixture Contemporary Art, 1709 Westheimer. For information, call Arthouse at 512-453-5312. -- Kelly Klaasmeyer

They Might Be Giants conquers the big screen
"Don't Let's Start" was the first independent video to make MTV's rotation. Ever since, They Might Be Giants has demanded if not mass reverence then at least great respect. The indie-pop duo gets its due, once again, in the documentary film Gigantic: A Tale of Two Johns. The film opens with former U.S. senator Paul Simon telling an amusing anecdote about Abraham Lincoln (TMBG is from Lincoln, Massachusetts), then follows the now-Brooklyn-based Giants (John Flansburgh and John Linnell) through decades of collaboration, which started when they were in grade school. Gigantic includes interviews, animation, concert footage and testimonials from Andy Richter, Janeane Garofalo and Frank Black, to name a few. The film's Houston premiere takes place at 8 p.m. Friday, September 5, and Sunday, September 7; 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. Saturday, September 6. Rice Cinema, entrance no. 8 off University Boulevard and Stockton Drive. For information, call 713-348-3138. $5 to $6. --Troy Schulze

Worthy prequel to a great franchise
Experimentation and subsequent reward for said experimentation should always take centre stage in any RPG title and Divinity: Original Sin pulls it off perfectly, and then some.
Original Sin combines some serious cause and effect functionality with a mesmerisingly complex spell system that will keep you hooked during the astonishingly content-rich 60-odd hours of questing.
Original Sin has just about everything that will trigger the Baldur's Gate/Dungeons & Dragons nostalgia in just about every serious RPG fan. The top-down persepective, turn-based combat and clunky menus make for both fond memories and eyecatching gameplay.
Much as in big-budget roleplaying peers such as Skyrim or Mass Effect, the dominant plot revolves around saving the entire world, although never so much as to smother the experience of side activities. You'll even find the occasional joke worming its way into the heady stuff. It's a safe route that perhaps escapes the demands of living up to the storytelling quality of a game like Planescape: Torment, but Original Sin's writers are competent enough to make the direction work well.
The quests themselves are well-penned adventures dealing with your usual bread and butter conflicts of blood feuds and racial tensions. Do you, for example, help an elf whose family was murdered by orcs kill an innocent descendent of the vicious orc tribe, try to talk him out of it, or fool him into leaving by either faking the orc's death or stealing an amulet as proof you killed her?
Original Sin's quests are full of these kinds of great moral choices, and most of them have two or more possible outcomes that really made me feel like I had control over the fate of the characters.
The combat system is where Original Sin really takes off the mantle of convention and comes into its own. There's a faint echo of Magicka in its heavily use of various spell and elemental combinations for devastating effects, but Original Sin distinguishes itself by working that system into almost every moment of combat to create opportunities for crowd control and environmental advantages that demand some brainwork even on the easiest of the three difficulty modes.
As a note, its important to understand that enemies can use the same spell combinations against you, throwing another spanner into the already tangled works.
Divinity: Original Sin is a huge game in its own right and a worthy prequel to a great franchise. The thinking man's version of Dragon Age, Divinity will become a classic in its own right. Spell combinations, cheeky storytelling and huge depth make it a great journey and phenomenal value for money.

LOS ANGELES (CBS) — Officials on Wednesday said they have yet to settle on a solution to mitigate the effects of the impending release of thousands of state parolees into Los Angeles County.
KNX 1070's Ed Mertz reports one county supervisor is warning the public is largely unprepared for when the state begins releasing low-level offenders from prisons beginning October 1.
L.A. County Supervisor Mike Antonovich is among those trying to come up with a plan to hire more probation officers and figure out how they might meet the medical needs of all those parolees.
"We have a tsunami coming," said Antonovich. "It's really breaking the back of the criminal justice system and the health care delivery system."
But beyond the economic fallout, Antonovich warned the release — which is part of a California court order to reduce overcrowding in state prisons — is failing to catch the attention of county residents.
"Overall, the community has really been silent as to what is going to be hitting them," he said.
L.A. County expects an estimated 9,000 state parolees to be freed in just the first year alone.
A vote is set for next week for supervisors to vote on a plan to deal with the release.

One on One with John Tracy
Recently, Iram Khan '12, MAcc '13, had an opportunity to speak with John Tracy '87, vice president of Finance for Home Business of Motorola Mobility, Inc., about his experience as an Accounting student at Rider .
Upon graduation from Rider, Tracy joined Ernst & Young and later worked for Honeywell International (formerly AlliedSignal Inc.). He holds a master's degree in Taxation from Fairleigh Dickinson University.
Today, Tracy is a member of the Rider University Accounting Advisory Board, and speaks to students at several different venues. He is also on the Board of Directors of American Heritage Federal Credit Union.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
How did you choose Rider as the college you wanted to attend?
I enjoyed my accounting class in high school and I decided that I wanted to pursue it in college.
Rider's Accounting program had a great reputation and after a visit to the campus, I fell in love with the place and never looked back.
Other than technical skills, what else is necessary to succeed in the business world?
Plain and simple — you have to be able to communicate, present and sell yourself!
What are your thoughts about the internship/co-op program at Rider?
I look back on the internship I did for six weeks and I realize it was a great experience and it prepared me for after I graduated. Now the co-ops are longer and are done while attending classes. It's an invaluable experience.
Is there any advice you would give to students about college, education, or the workplace in general?
In college, get involved in clubs and activities, and volunteer. Work on your presentation skills during this time! Your GPA gets you in the door at your first job. After that, you have to sell yourself.
What are some of your fondest memories of Rider?
The friends that I made who I still keep in contact with after 25 years! Dr. John Gorman was the greatest professor ever!

Graffiti wall transformed
Young people from the Braniel area have transformed a wall once covered in graffiti by turning it into a mural on the story of Belfast.
The work took place at the back of the Braniel Surgery building in the Braniel Estate and was completed through Dreamscheme, an initiative encouraging young people to carry out community projects.
Speaking to The CT, Dreamscheme project coordinator Billy McClean said: "the scheme provides positive activities, such as the mural painting, for young people to learn skills, develop relationships, gain respect and improve the community they live in."
Dr Peter Ryan of the Braniel Surgery praised the Dreamscheme mural as "positive".

So after church today I was visiting with a friend who has recently moved back to th area and I had not been in contact with since first diagnosed. She is kind and sensitive and had a lot going on in her own life. Somehow (because someone else she knows is getting radiation for cervical cancer), we got on the subject of dilators. We were in a church gathering area. She had become teary-eyed and at that same time the priest must have over heard the words "die later" and came over to see if he could help her. She was sooo embarassed and we had no intention of filling him in that we both just started to laugh. I reassured him we would be ok now.
On a different note.....still SNOWING in Wisconsin!!!!!
Apr 21, 2013 - 4:42 pm
Thanks eihtak - that's priceless.
Apr 21, 2013 - 6:19 pm
Too funny! Personally, I prefer the "dilator" as opposed to the "die later, " which could mean anything from tomorrow to 40 years from now!
Apr 21, 2013 - 11:57 pm
Thanks for making me laugh! It is hard to believe it is still snowing somewhere in USA.

TWO youths repeatedly put out house windows in a vendetta against a former friend, a court heard.
Ryan Pounder, 22, and eighteen-year-old Adam Kevin Johnson smashed windows at the home the victim shared with his partner in Seaham, County Durham, three times in under a month.
Durham Crown Court was told both were arrested and bailed after the initial incident, on November 16, when a front door window was broken at the property, in Watling Avenue.
Loading article content
The couple living there were in bed when they heard the sound of a window smashing, on the night of December 6.
Chris Baker, prosecuting, said both Pounder and Johnson were seen among a group fleeing the scene, dropping a brick as they left.
Eight days later the female householder heard the sound of the kitchen window breaking, at 1.30am, and again Pounder and Johnson were seen leaving the area.
Mr Baker said the house is owned by East Durham Homes, which has stood the repair costs.
Both Pounder and Johnson were subsequently re-arrested and initially denied involvement in the offences.
Mr Baker said Pounder claimed the victim was making up the allegation as he had a grudge against him.
He said one of the pair also claimed they knew the male victim as they bought drugs from him.
Mr Baker said the female householder was scared by the incidents and did not want to return home, while her partner said he had been evicted as a result.
Both Pounder, of The Avenue, Seaham, and Johnson, of Arbroath Road, Farringdon, Sunderland, admitted damaging property and a charge under the harassment act.
Nicholas Lane, for Pounder, said both defendants have been in custody since Christmas Eve, while Lewis Kerr, for Johnson, described it as, "a feud between friends".
Imposing custodial sentences of three months on both, Judge Robert Adams said: "There appears to have been a background of a feud between friends leading to these incidents of damage."
The sentences imposed meant both were expected to be released later in the day, due to time spent in custody.
Each must also pay £80 statutory surcharge.

CARSON – A Los Angeles County Fire Department HazMat team carried out mopping up operations Tuesday after a stubborn fire that injured three civilians and a firefighter at a plastics manufacturing plant in Carson.
The blaze at the Plaskolite West plant in the 2200 block of East Del Amo Boulevard was reported at 6:49 p.m. Monday, said County Fire Inspector Tony
Akins. The fire, which quickly went to a second alarm, drew some 70 firefighters who knocked down the flames in around 90 minutes, he said.
Three civilians and a firefighter were taken to hospitals for treatment — one civilian with burns and another suffering from smoke inhalation, said Akins, who did not immediately know what happened to the third. The firefighter was treated at a hospital for minor injuries and released.
The fire reached some chemicals used in plastic production, Akins said, but these were regarded as an irritant more than as a danger. Firefighters and a HazMat team were expected to remain at the scene through the early morning hours, Akins said.

Drug arrest
A brief stand-off with police allegedly preceded a drug arrest Wednesday in Penn Forest Township.
The incident happened at about 9:30 p.m. at 86 Mountain View.
Defendants, reportedly brother and sister, are Drew Muslim, 27, of Macungie, and Wakeelah Muslim, 23, of North Plainfield, N.J.
Drew Muslim had an active Pa. parole warrant for aggravated assault on a police officer, it was reported.
Trooper Daniel R. Nilon of the Lehighton barracks of the state police said a tip was received on June 28 that Drew Muslim was distributing drugs on a regular basis in the Palmerton area.
That tip, said Nilon, also related that he was in possession of a stolen firearm.
Police said a two-day investigation of the tip concluded with Muslim being located, along with his sister. At the time police entered the residence at 86 Mountain View, Penn Forest, the suspects were in the process of packaging raw crack cocaine.
Nilon stated in the press release that "Both Muslim's were arrested after a brief stand-off and a significant amount of crack cocaine and cash were seized."
Drew Muslim allegedly had eaten an unknown amount of crack cocaine in an effort to conceal his activities while being taken into custody. He was transported from the Lehighton state police barracks to the Gnaden Huetten Campus of Blue Mountain Health System and reportedly was in the intesnive care unit for over 12 hours.
for over 12 hours.
Both the brother and sister were arraigned before District Judge Joseph Homanko of Weatherly and were jailed at the Carbon County Correctional Facility in lieu of $25,000 cash bail.
Assisting state police were police from Jim Thorpe and Palmerton police deparments, Lehighton and Palmerton Ambulances, and the Pa. State Parole, Allentown office.

December 7th, 2015, 02:46 PM #1PPC Tool
I'm looking to see if there is a PPC tool that currently exists, which can search for specific keywords in multiple locations at once, and return me with the top 3 bidders for that term in real-time.
Essentially, it would be like using a NYC proxy, and searching for "Red Shoes" to see what comes back at this very moment - except it's automated.
Does such a tool exist?

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Shadowland Foundation Inc, Los Angeles, CA, USA
I had never heard of Shadowland before I visited back in October of 2012. Some friends wanted to know if I wanted to see some wolves. Not knowing what to expect, I though I was going to be looking at a few wolves in cages, but when I arrived I was greeted by Paul and Colette and told I was actually going to have a chance to sit with and pet the wolves. After being checked out by the Alpha female and male, I was accepted into their pack. I went in to their area along with the other 10 people, some with very young children. I could not believe how the wolves took to all of us, especially the young children. I sat on a bench and each wolf at some time came up to greet me and allow me to pet them. After a while, they all lined up on a bench for us to give them treats and take pictures with. Both Paul and Colette explained to us what the Shadowland Foundation was about, and why it is their passion to share these beautiful animals with everyone. It was an amazing day, meeting animals that I really never knew much about before I visited them. They all were so well trained and behaved, and the love they had for the young children was truly amazing. I have told many people since that visit to go and see the wolves. If you love animals, this is something you just have to do!!!

Nurofen Cold and Flu is the first thing I buy when I have cold n flu and I have never had a sick day from my work in 6 years. They really help me so much more than any other cold and flu tablet. You can only buy from a chemist though and sometimes in the past I have had to just settled for an alternative (because it was late at night or a Sunday) but it just didnt work for me. About an hour after taking nurofen cold and flu I always feel much better and always know when I am due another as the horrible symtoms come back with a bang, making me so aware of how good these tablets eleviate the symtoms for me. I do and will continue to recommend them to family/friends etc For me they are clearly the best on the market by far.


text: Hi, I am new to this list. the reason I'm posting here is the following: At the 'fedora-list' there has been a recent community effort to formulate a document with the "guidelines" for posting to that list. After a number of drafts and discussions, this document has reached a more mature form, and has been put in the form of a web page: Original: http://www-personal.ksu.edu/~seabra/linux/FedoraRules.html Mirror: http://www.cwelug.org/fedora/FedoraRules.html It is already considered "official", in the sense that it grew from discussions in the list that have reached a consunsus. As a next step, we would like to make this document know for most users of the list. For this, the suggestions we have are: 1. Monthly reminder: having a link or a text-only version of this document sent automatically monthly to all subscribers; 2. Part of a welcoming message: Either include a link in the welcoming message, or send a separate e-mail with the text-only version of the document to every new subscriber; 3. Linked to sign-up page: maybe there could be a link in the sign in page? 4. Link in the sugnature. (in **MY** opinion, this would likely be the most effective of all.) It would help if there could be a link in the signature added by RedHat to all messages distributed. The signature could then look something like: --** fedora-list mailing list fedora-list redhat com To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Before posting to this list, please check << link here >> 4. Submission to Fedora-docs: That last suggestion was made to make this documet more "official". So, that's where we are now.

Golden girl hoping for place in UK final
3:37pm Monday 2nd June 2014
3:37pm Monday 2nd June 2014
GOLDEN girl Rebecca Perrin is hoping to win a place in the national final of a major beauty challenge.
Rebecca and fellow Mid Cheshire College student Charley Howard are celebrating their success in the regional heat of the World Skills UK challenge.
Rebecca took gold and Charley won silver in the regional heat, which was held in St Helens.
The 17-year-old beauty therapy students from Northwich are studying level two in beauty therapy at the college.
They were chosen to represent Mid Cheshire in the competition after coming out on top in an inter-college challenge to show off their beauty skills.
World Skills UK drives excellence in workplace skills through competition, and the beauty section of the contest focuses on the role and tasks of a beauty therapist.
The treatments the students were asked to carry out reflected both current and traditional beauty therapy treatments, and were a reflection of current industrial requirements.
The competition was organised by the Vocational Training Charitable Trust and supported by industry partners.
For the World Skills challenge the girls had to complete a series of treatments during the two and a half hour competition.
They carried out manicure, waxing and evening make-up under the watchful eye of a professional judging panel of past World Skills champions.
"I was really nervous during the competition, but it was good fun and I am really pleased to have come first amongst the strong competition," said Rebecca.
The live heats took place between April and June, and the competitors who achieve the highest scores in the heats will be invited to compete at the national UK final at the NEC in Birmingham, which takes place from November 13 to 15.
As a gold medallist Rebecca is waiting to hear if she has made it through to the finals. In the meantime she has secured a job at a salon in Tarporley, and will also return to college in September to continue her studies to level three.
Charley is also returning to college this September to study media make-up.
For information on the college's range of beauty courses call 74444.

Best-selling author Carolyn Jess-Cooke has written a brilliant novel of suspense that delves into the recesses of the human mind and soul - perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn and Lisa Unger. The Boy Who Could See Demons follows a child psychologist who comes up against a career-defining case - one that threatens to unravel her own painful past and jeopardizes the life of a boy who can see the impossible.
Dr. Anya Molokova, a child psychiatrist, is called in to work at MacNeice House, an adolescent mental health treatment center. There she is told to observe and assess Alex Connolly, a keenly intelligent, sensitive ten-year-old coping with his mother's latest suicide attempt. Alex is in need of serious counseling: He has been harming himself and others, often during blackouts. At the root of his destructive behavior, Alex claims, is his imaginary "friend" Ruen, a cunning demon who urges Alex to bend to his often violent will.
But Anya has seen this kind of behavior before - with her own daughter, Poppy, who suffered from early-onset schizophrenia. Determined to help Alex out of his darkness, Anya begins to treat the child. But soon strange and alarming coincidences compel Anya to wonder: Is Alex's condition a cruel trick of the mind? Or is Ruen not so make-believe after all? The reality, it turns out, is more terrifying than anything she has ever encountered.
A rich and deeply moving pause-resistor, The Boy Who Could See Demons sets out to challenge the imagination and capture the way life takes unexpected turns. In the best storytelling tradition, it leaves the listener changed.
©2012 Carolyn Jess-Cooke (P)2013 Random House Audio
"A psychologically complex thriller, told with compassion in a marvelously suspenseful narrative that keeps you engaged from the first page to the last.... This book has it all: a dark and dangerous setting, characters full of depth, rich emotions, and a clever plot. You'll fall in love with Alex - and his demons." (Chevy Stevens, author of Still Missing)
"Top-notch psychological suspense.... Beware what you think you know. It might be only the demons talking." Lisa Gardner, author of Touch & Go)
"Brilliant! Rich with fully formed characters, this heart-gripping novel will keep you riveted from first page to last." (Jeffery Deaver, author of XO)
"HOLY COW!!! Give me more, please!!!"
This book was worth the credit, for sure. I love to read or listen to a variety of books, but this one is at the top of my list. The narration was performed by male and female characters, in Irish dialect. This was different for me, and I was a little unsure if I could get used to the male character. However, as the male character developed, it was perfect for this complex boy. The only complaint for me is it had to come to an end! I am seldom as intrigued by books, but this one hooked me from the beginning. Until the very end, I kept asking "where is this going"? And, trust me, it is worth the wait. I would advise others that while this book centers around the unique relationship this boy has with demons that only he can see, it isn't like any horror story I've listened to. It had a creepiness all its own, without leaving me terrified. Kudos to the author, performers, and Audible!
"The ending caught me so off guard. It's amazing"
Narration was top notch. They both had me hanging on every word. I highly recommend this book
"good book"
loved the whole book but hated the ending so I gave it five stars because it was captivating cover to almost cover.
"Interesting but a bit slow..."
I thought this story was well-written and I enjoyed parts of it very much. I found it moved a bit slower than I typically like and that the ending, though a nice twist, was actually not as surprising or revealing as I had hoped. The narration is good and the setting of Belfast and its commentary on its war-torn youth was both interesting and tragically sad. The story was compelling but simple dragged in certain parts that made it difficult to follow at times, I found myself easily distracted from the story which doesn't typically happen. Still, the writing is really quite good and if you are not looking for a blockbusting thriller, this may be for you.
"Good Story Bad acting."
Story was Decent
Both Narrators put on a fake annoying Irish accent. Instead of reading the book they acted it out. I previewed the book but Bruce Mann was not on the clip I listened to him on a different book but it was nothing like his performance in this book.
"The story draws you in, surprises in the end"
in the top 40%
I loved Alex. I really enjoyed the accents of the narrators, such pleasing voices to listen to. As a mother my heart went out to the boy, I felt an instinctual need to protect him.
I also really enjoyed the dialog that came from Rowen. The perfectly-formed grammatically complicated sentences that no young boy could ever utter by himself were performed very well by the narrators and of course, written very well by the author.
No. I don't sit still for very long, I'm a mover!
While the overall premise/subject was quite sad, I have to say I LOVED the ending. Can't say anything else without spoiling so that is all I'll say!

A Fin24 reader asks:I was listed on the ITC for an outstanding balance of R80 which I owed a doctor. I have since paid the doctor and don't owe anybody else a cent, apart from my home loan. What must I do to clear my name on the credit listing?The Consumer Credit Protection Agency, which is the official credit bureau clearance agency, responds:The National Credit Act 34 of 2005 became law in July 2007. This means that the rights of the consumer have been recognised for only about five years now. But it will take time for the majority of consumers to know and exercise their rights. The National Credit Regulator (NCR) has ensured that all credit providers and credit bureaus are conversant with this law and the rights of the consumer. Yet most credit providers still take advantage of consumers' lack of information and deliberately transgress the law. What most people don't know is that 99.9% of the time the credit provider has broken a few sections of the National Credit Act by placing a default listing on a consumer's credit record. You might have discovered that you have a default listing on your record, then you approach the credit provider and pay up the debt in the hope that the listing will be removed. You are disappointed to find out that the credit provider has only updated the listing to show that the account was "fully paid consequent to listing". A default listing - regardless of whether it is paid up or not - will be retained on your record for two years. There is one way, and one way only, to remove this type of listing from your credit records.This is by checking firstly if you ever received any notification in writing from the creditor, informing you of the intention to list your default payment on the credit bureau. Secondly, did you ever receive 20 days' notification in writing of the impending listing of your account on the credit bureau?If your answer to any of the above questions is no, then you know that your consumer rights have been violated and the law has been broken. You have the right to challenge this listing and dispute it with the credit bureau that displays it on your record. Once you have followed the proper channels to dispute the listing, it becomes the duty of the credit bureau to investigate your claim against the credit provider. The NCR gives the credit bureau 20 days to complete the investigation and reach a resolution. Once the resolution is reached, the default listing will be removed from your credit records.The application of these steps is practical and can be applied by everyone. But in the real world, where human beings are in control and at work, many things do not always go according to plan and schedule. We therefore advise that you practise patience at all times when you challenge any of the issues above, since there are different parties involved. You must make sure that you take responsibility to follow up on the dates and timeframes. You also need to make sure that your information and/or evidence is precise and meets the requirements of the controlling bodies and authorities who handle these issues, especially court-related matters. To avoid frustration, if you are uncertain of or intimidated by any aspect of the matter at hand, we recommend that you seek professional assistance. - Fin24
Great but what happens when your number is mistakenly listed for anothers debt. Try getting these people to stop phoning and annoying one is impossible.
