Is it normal that in 3 legal documents the postal address of a flat has discrepancies?
I am a first time buyer and have put an offer on a North London flat in the area of Bounds Green in mid January and it was accepted. I have also read a lot of literature regarding the process of buying a property and the many tricks and discrepancies that you might encounter. My mortgage offer was ready by the end of January 2011. Is now the 13th of April and I still have no good news. There are discrepancies with the flat address as in 3 legal documents the address is different from each other. My solicitor has written several letters to the sellers solicitor as we will not sign anything until this mater is sorted. We are still awaiting for the seller to keep investigating not only the address issue but also information from the building that should have been provided by the freeholder. I have even contacted the land registry to investigate a bit further. I am still awaiting. Is this something normal? What else would you suggest I do?

I think the main thing to remember is that with property, nothing is normal. The simplest of transactions often turn out to be the most difficult and frustrating. Im not certain what issues you are referring to exactly so can't comment further, however as long as both solicitors are looking in to the matter, its normally something which can be sorted out.Answered on Apr 14 2011, Report content

Plumber Courses | 3 Reasons To Start Plumbing Classes Early
Plumbing apprenticeships can be hard to get, especially in today's economy where hiring has been limited. However, enrolling in plumber courses can give you an edge on your competition. Having some formal training under your belt that you can actually show proof of can make all the difference between you getting an apprenticeship, and someone else getting it.
It's no secret that when things become competitive, employers look for the very best and most prepared candidates for the job. It's very similar to the college admission process. When colleges evaluate applicants for admission to their school, they look for the best of the best, which is indicated by their grades, courses and test scores in high school.
When it comes to the plumbing trades and apprenticeships, it's a competitive field so why not give yourself an advantage that most other potential apprentices won't have?
3 Reasons You Should Start Your Plumber Courses Today
Education is the key to getting a better career, and as a result, making more money over the course of your lifetime. Below, we've listed 3 reasons you should seriously consider starting your plumbing classes as soon as possible.
1. Get An Edge On Your Competition For An Apprenticeship
When you apply for a plumbing apprenticeship, you have to remember that you are competing against literally hundreds of other applicants. Depending on the region, you may be talking about numbers in the thousands! In fact, it's pretty normal for some unions in blue collar, highly populated areas (such as Chicago and Pittsburgh) to get over a thousand applicants for only a handful of apprentice positions.
So what is going to help you stand apart from the hundreds or thousands of other potential apprentices?
If you've already got some formal training under your belt when you apply, it will set you apart from the others who don't have any formal education. This may not seem like much, but it shows initiative and that you aren't just "throwing your name in the hat" in hopes to get a good paying job. You are serious about a career in plumbing, so show them that you have already begun getting yourself qualified for the job!
2. Pass The Plumbing Aptitude Test With Flying Colors
One component of many apprenticeships is taking a written test to prove your skills in English, Math and Science. The Plumbing Aptitude Test Questions are comprised of…
- English language
- Spelling
- Reading Comprehension
- Units of Measurement
- Basic Arithmetic
- Decimals, Percentages, Ratios
- Algebra
- Geometry
- Safety and Equipment
By taking plumber courses ahead of time, you will have covered the vast majority of these topics above and should be proficient in all of them. In fact, most plumbing degree programs start off with the basics so you'd only have to be a class or two into the program to have re-learned these skills.
Once a potential plumbing apprentice takes the aptitude test, it gets scored and placed in a "Passed" pile, or a "Failed" pile. Most unions or programs only require you to pass at a certain percentage, the average being right around 75%.
However, If you score in the 90th percentile or higher, you will get noticed and could land yourself a much greater chance of getting that apprentice position. They are looking for bright and hard working individuals, so give yourself that edge by scoring high on the aptitude test.
3. Get Your Plumbing Coursework Requirements Done Early
As part of any apprenticeship, you will be required to have a minimum number of "on-the-job" training hours. In addition, there is a classroom component in which apprentices will have to complete a certain number of hours per year to be eligible to continue on as an apprentice. The average is right around 200 classroom hours per year. Multiply that over the course of a standard 4-5 year program, and you're looking at a total of 800 to 1000 hours or more in coursework.
Now think about this: What if you had a bunch (or all) of those hours finished before the end of your plumbing apprenticeship program? That would be a major advantage as most apprenticeships would not require you to participate in the mandatory plumbing classes, allowing you to focus more on the day-to-day plumbing duties.
Also worth noting is that many apprentices get hired by a private, certified plumber who isn't directly tied to any classroom training resources. Where are you going to get your classroom hours if an apprentice for a private practice plumber? Plumber courses offered online are a great alternative for these types of situations. Not only are they extremely convenient because you can finish the coursework at your own pace, but they also provide you with an accredited degree certificate which proves that you've completed a quality program in the plumbing trades.

What Is an Information Technology Management Degree?

An information technology management degree, or IT management degree, is a type of postsecondary degree awarded to students who have completed a college, university, or business school program. The study of information technology involves learning how to use computer software and systems to manage information.

Types of Information Technology Management Degrees

There are three basic options for students who are interested in an information technology management degree. A bachelor's degree is typically the minimum for most jobs in the information technology management field. Advanced jobs almost always require a master's or MBA degree.

 Bachelor's Degree in IT Management - A bachelor's degree in IT management is ideal for students seeking entry-level positions in this field. However, many information technology managers choose to earn a bachelor's degree in information science, computer science, or information systems management instead. Regardless of the degree name, most bachelor's programs take four years to complete and consist of general education courses combined with specialized courses in information technology and business management.

 Master's Degree in IT Management - A master's degree in information technology management or a related field is a requirement to work at some companies. It is especially recommended for advanced positions. A master's degree usually takes two years to complete once you have earned a bachelor's degree. While enrolled in a master's program, you will study advanced topics in information technology. You will also take business, management, and leadership courses.

 Doctorate Degree in IT Management - The highest degree that can be earned in this area is a doctorate degree. This degree is well-suited for students who want to teach or perform field research. It can take anywhere from four to six years to earn a doctorate degree.

Choosing an Information Technology Management Degree Program

When choosing an information technology management program, you should first look at schools that are accredited to ensure you find a quality program with degrees respected by employers. It is also important to choose a school that has an up-to-date curriculum that focuses on the skills and knowledge you want to attain. Finally, take time to compare tuition, career placement rates, class size, and other important factors. Read more about choosing a business school.

Information Technology Management Careers

Students who earn an information technology management degree typically go on to work as IT managers. IT managers are also known as computer and information systems managers. They may be responsible for developing tech strategies, upgrading technology, and securing systems in addition to overseeing and directing other IT professionals. The exact duties of an IT manager are dependent on the size of the employer as well as the manager's job title and level of experience. Some common job titles for IT managers include the following.

IT Project Manager - Sometimes known as an IT Director, an IT project manager heads up a specific technology project. They may be responsible for managing upgrades and conversions. IT project managers typically have one or more IT professionals who report to them. They usually have at least a bachelor's degree along with several years of experience.

IT Security Manager - An IT security manager is usually responsible for overseeing network and data security. They may help to develop, implement, and monitor security protocols. Entry-level positions may require only a few years of experience.

 Chief Technology Officer - A CTO designs and recommends new technology for a business or organization. They typically report to a CIO, but may have more technical expertise. Many CTOs began as an IT director or project manager. Most have 10 or more years of experience in the IT field.

Chief Information Officer - A Chief Information Officer (CIO) helps to develop and oversee technology strategy for a business or organization. They are the decision makers. CIO is an advanced position and typically requires at least an MBA along with 10 or more years of IT experience.

IT Certifications

Professional or tech certifications are not absolutely required to work in the information technology management field. However, certifications can make you more attractive to potential employers. You may also earn a higher salary if you have taken the required steps to become certified in specific areas. Read more about tech certifications and what they can do for your career.

Favourites fall in Causeway
The bookmakers were laughing all the way to the bank after a series of major upsets in the opening round of the College Causeway/ Killahan Phanter Easter Cup at Shelbourne on Saturday.
Crashing out of the competition went leading fancies Tyrur Big Mike, Razldazl Jayfkay and Deerfield Music while other hotpots failed to deliver but survived to contest next week's second round.
Tyrur Big Mike was always struggling after a tardy start in the opening heat and faded to finish fourth in a race where Razldazl George beat Asisola by three parts of a length in 29.80.
Razldazl Jayfkay lost vital ground in the fourth heat as Talktoyouhand drifted wide on the bend and never looked like getting into the frame as John Robinson's Quick Lee won in 29.96.
Fastest of the round was Conor Fahy's Tyrur O'Gorman as he stopped the clock in 29.74 and the Galway handler completed a double with Tyrur Carey in 30.11.
The John McGee-trained Cornamaddy Swift was an all-the-way winner of the €6,000 Roches Feeds Oaks at Limerick on Saturday.
She broke fast and held off Local Flyer and Tyrur Tinkerbell by three quarters of a length and a short head in 28.46.
Down at Curraheen, the Eoin O'Neill-trained Yes Boss flew from the traps and gave an exhibition of sprinting as he beat Sheepwalk Mac by four lengths in 17.46.
Meanwhile, Definate Opinion and Kingo ran away with their respective semi-finals of the Gain Feeds Cesarewitch at Mullingar on Saturday in 33.10 and 33.05 and they are expected to dominate next Saturday's final.

Anxiety is a phrase of being worried about certain real or imagined events or situations.
What to look for
Recurring headaches or migraine pain of impending doom, heart palpitations.
Indigestion and bowel irregularity tics or twitches, diarrhoea, chest pain, insomnia inability to concentrate. dry mouth, excessive sweating muscle tension, muscle aches, loss of sex drive (see impotence) irritability, under eating or overeating. breathlessness; hyperventilation.
For school-age children: refusal to go to school, fear of strangers, fear of being away from home. unnecessary worry. Anxiety is a normal persons feelings. Immediate intense stress or fear questions our survival instinct, provokes a chemical and a physical response… Which is to do with the way the body prepares to deal with danger.
Adrenalin and cortisone are discharged into the bloodstream; breathing becomes shallow and rapid, sugar is releases by the liver, heart rate quickens, muscles tense, and the mind goes on full alert. But when anxiety is not restricted to an identifiable danger or is more dangerous and long-lasting than warranted, it is a clinical disorder.
Many different anxiety disorders are recognized. Among them are: Panic attacks (a sudden onset of extreme fear or tension, for no evident reason); Posttraumatic stress disorder (prolonged anxiety after a traumatic event) Obsessive-compulsive disorder (persistent, irrational thoughts, such as a dread of infection, or Repetitive behavior, such as checking that doors are locked); Phobias (fear of certain situations, such as confining spaces, or of particular things, such as insects) and Generalized anxiety (an inexplicable feeling of apprehension that may last for months).
Anxiety disorders can alter intensely in their fury, they may be mild or totally weakening. Then incidence of the different disorders also alters: Phobias, panic attacks, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, for example, happen less frequently than generalized anxiety (which afflicts twice as many women as men). The disorders normally become noticeable during the teen years or early maturity and are considerably more common among adults than in children. Some people with anxieties are very hard to treat; others respond well to medications, psychotherapy, and alternative therapies.
What doesn't work is self-treatment with alcohol or recreational drugs to alleviate the symptoms. Many sufferers choose this way, but finally it will only make the circumstance worse.
Anxiety can be caused by noticeable stress such as a unfortunate accident, a death, or the loss of something important to us… In such cases, adjustments to the situation and along with the passage of time, will have a healing effect. In other cases, the stress is indiscernible a buried memory of some unhappy or frightening event in their childhood, lurking below the surface of the watchful mind and uncovering its presence in anxiety.
Transmitted factors may play a role in some individuals becoming vulnerable to anxiety. Like food sensitivities and allergies may also encourage to anxiety, although more research must be done to ensure this connection. In addition, anxiety commonly follows a sudden withdrawal from alcohol, tobacco, or other drugs.
The first step is to confirm the stress characteristic are not the result of another disease or disorder. Check with your Medical Practitioner.

It stars Steven Robertson, Creator/JamesMcAvoy and Romola Garai.Michael Connolly (Robertson) is a young Dubliner with cerebral palsy, who lives in a Residential Home for the Disabled, when one day his boring and mundane life is turned upside down by the arrival of also wheel chair bound rebel Rory O' Shea ([=McAvoy=]). Michael realises that the foulmouthed and opinionated Rory can understand him despite his speech impediment and they become friends. They successfully apply for Independent Living Allowance, start living together in their own flat and hire the beautiful Siobhan (Garai) as their caretaker. Difficulties arise when Michael starts falling in love with the girl.In the UK the film was released under the title ''Inside I'm Dancing'' and received mixed reviews, which mostly criticised its predictability while the actor's performances were praised.----!!This movie contains examples of:* TheAlcoholic: Implied with Rory's father.* BaitAndSwitch: This little bit of dialogue from Rory and Siobhan--> '''Siobhan:''' Were you born like this?--> '''Rory:''' Like what?--> '''Siobhan:''' Dodgy hair and shit taste in music.* BetterAsFriends: [[spoiler: Siobhan rebuffs Michael's advances but she is implied to remain his interpreter and they'll be on good terms]].* BitchAlert: Eileen, "we don't give out front door keys", "we don't allow coarse language here".* BittersweetEnding: Prepare your tissues. [[spoiler: Michael makes a pass at Siobhan but she rebuffs him, not being interested. Rory later dies of his condition, though Michael convinces the council to grant him independent living just so he can die free. The end implies that Michael will try to live a full life, and he and Siobhan will at least remain friends]].* BumblingDad: Rory's dad, who has him in care homes simply because he's unable to cope.* BuryYourDisabled: Type 1. [[spoiler: Rory's death is foreshadowed with the birthday scene, and he passes away towards the end]].* CantSpitItOut: Michael. Literally.* ChekhovsGun: Michael is seen helping teach Siobhan how to understand him. [[spoiler: She takes over as his interpreter after Rory dies]].* ConvenientSlowDance: Michael tries to pull this trope. It doesn't go as he expects. * ClusterFBomb: Rory drops a few, prompting Eileen in the care home to reprimand him as if he were a child in school.* DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou: Played with. Both Michael and Rory are in care homes despite having their fathers still around. Rory's is an alcoholic and unable to cope with looking after his son. Michael's is a politician - and is likely too busy to take care of him. * ADateWithRosiePalms: Michael gets one when Siobhan gives him a sponge bath. Put bluntly by Rory--> "Did you get a hard on?"* DecoyProtagonist: The American title would suggest Rory is the main character. He isn't.* DialogueReversal: In one of the most tearjerking and heartwarming ways:--> '''Rory:''' [[spoiler: While dying in hospital]] Rory O'Shea was here.--> '''Michael:''' (''pointing to his heart'') Rory O'Shea is here.* DisabledLoveInterest: [[spoiler: Subverted. Michael hopes that he would become this to Siobhan, but she doesn't reciprocate his feelings.]]* DisabledSnarker: Rory.* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The care home seems to be a combination metaphor of a strict boarding school and a prison.* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Michael starts to style his hair once he leaves the care home.* {{Foreshadowing}}: The ending throughout the movie.* GeniusBonus: People who are familiar with Duchenne muscular dystrophy will see the [[TearJerker birthday scene]] in a different light.* HandicappedBadass: Not physically, but Rory does have a very sharp tongue. He also does attempt to get into a bar fight early on in the movie.* HospitalHottie: Siobhan dons a nurse costume for a party.* HopelessSuitor: Michael to Siobhan. Rory as well to a much more limited extent - they just flirt a little.* IJustWantToBeFree: Rory doesn't want to live in the residential home anymore, which he often compares to a prison. On a less literal level it also ties in with the below.* IJustWantToBeNormal: Both protagonists. Rory even more so. * ImprobableHairstyle: Rory arrives at the care home with an impressive head of intricate spikes - quite a feat for a guy that can only move his index finger. But subverted when he gets a bath and the nurses refuse to spike it for him. Notably when he gets Michael to do it, it's a less elaborate style.* InspirationallyDisadvantaged: Subverted. Michael is a borderline DeadpanSnarker and has a sneaky sense of humour. Most notably when trying to convince the council to let him live outside the care home, he just paraphrases their pamphlet. * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Michael appears to be a MoralityPet that brings out Rory's heart of gold, and he seems to view Siobhan in similar light.* LetsJustBeFriends: [[spoiler: Michael and Siobhan remain on good terms after Rory's death]].* LoveTriangle: [[spoiler: Defied. Siobhan isn't interested in either Rory or Michael.]]* MissingMom: Michael's mother is dead and Rory's isn't around.* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Rory during his "that's what I call a gift" speech.* ParentalAbandonment: Michael's father doesn't acknowledge his handicapped son. Until he faces him with his new friend and ne self-confidence that is.* PositiveDiscrimination: Deconstructed. [[spoiler: Siobhan calls Rory out for abusing this to get away with starting barfights and being a delinquent, saying that he ought to show the same respect he expects from people]].* RagingStiffie: Michael gets one while Siobhan is washing him.* SirSwearsALot: Rory again.* SpikyHair: Rory's style of hair and clothing immediately sets him apart from the other inhabitants of the Home.* TitleDrop: Played with since ''Inside I'm Dancing'' is the original title. The American title was likely taken from the quote from Rory.* UptightLovesWild: A non-romantic version with Rory and Michael's friendship.* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic: The first time we see Rory he's being loaded out of the van doors which have a very cagelike appearance.* YouAreTooLate: [[spoiler: Rory doesn't live to learn that Michael has gained him his Independent Living Allowance.]]

By vocation
A hands-on restaurateur: Primo Semadeni
His workplace is where others go on holiday, take time out or simply admire the scenery: Alp Grüm, the popular stopover on the Bernina Line between Pontresina and Tirano. And he also runs a second restaurant: the Ospizio Bernina station buffet right at the summit. The two establishments have been keeping Primo Semadeni on his toes – for eight years now.
Where has Primo got to? It's 10:15 – and there's no sign of our host at Ospizio Bernina. "Don't worry, he'll be here shortly. He just popped down to Alp Grüm and is taking the train now. He'll be here in seven minutes," the friendly lady at the counter explains. And indeed: the station bell rings. "The Bernina Express to Tirano will shortly be arriving at platform two," the loudspeaker announces. And there he is, the man who runs not one, but two restaurants. Constantly on the go between the Alp Grüm restaurant with its amazing views – known in insider circles as the only restaurant to only be accessible by railway – and the station buffet at the top of the Bernina pass. He's already travelled between the two stations three times today.
«Just try getting hold of a repairman at the weekend! You're in for a nice surprise.»Primo Semadeni
Monday means it's all go
"Buon giorno – and sorry I'm a little bit late. But I had urgent business to attend to in Grüm. Monday is waste disposal day. It's always a bit crazy," Primo explains. And the dishwasher is currently causing him problems. It would have to be at the weekend, when visitor numbers are at their highest and with a large group wanting to order Puschlav spaghetti, that the machine decided to pack up. There was nothing else to do but to roll up his sleeves and do the dishes by hand. And with up to 200 meals a day being served, they soon mount up! "Just try getting hold of a repairman at the weekend! You're in for a nice surprise – it can take up to four or five hours before he turns up."
Logistics is the key issue
"I once even had to call out the helicopter. The deep fat fryer broke – naturally at the height of the season, on the busiest day of the weekend. The new appliance arrived within two hours and we were able to start making large batches of chips again." On another occasion, Primo and his team were horrified to discover one Sunday afternoon that the water had suddenly run out. Once again salvation came from the air: 1,000 litres of water were flow in – all down to Primo's good relations with Swiss Helikopter AG.
Planning is therefore half the battle. "Up here, we can't just run across the street or to the nearest shopping centre to fetch something. If we don't have it in the cellar, that's it. It's even worse if we forget to unload something. Once the train has gone, we've had our chance." Primo has just sent three palettes of empty bottles to Pontresina and is waiting for the next delivery of drinks. Bread is delivered fresh each day, deep frozen products on Fridays. Additional large-scale deliveries are made each spring and autumn: 17 palettes of 32 crates on a goods wagon, which stands on the siding at Grüm for a few hours until everything has been transferred to the cellar.
Innovations galore
"In our business, you can't afford to stand still," is Primo's firm belief. And success has proved him right. In the summer of 2013 for example, he seized the initiative and launched the first mobile ice-cream sales on board the trains. Two school kids from Puschlav, who wanted to earn some pocket money, went into action three times a day. One of them carried a cool box on his back while the other offered passengers a variety of ice creams, selling more than 700 cones in July alone. And the two boys had to work fast to serve all the main railcars between Alp Grüm and Ospizio Bernina in just eight minutes, then the rest of the train as far as the Bernina Lagalb Station, before changing to the train in the opposite direction – and starting all over again. "People love it. What could be nicer than to enjoy an ice cream while looking out over real ice," says Primo, the entrepreneur, with a smile.
Renovated with care
And while we're on the subject: since December 2013, Primo can offer his guests newly renovated rooms – both at Ospizio Bernina and at Alp Grüm. Dormitories and communal showers have given way to Alpine charm with wet cells in the oak-clad rooms. Nine doubles and one single at Alp Grüm and four doubles at Ospizio Bernina await guests who are looking to get away from it all. What's more, they can relax and enjoy a good bottle of wine here. Because no one has to go anywhere – except Primo, who drives every evening to Bever, where he has lived for 13 years, in the station building of course. As a young man he actually wanted to join the border police, but it all took too long. So he trained for two years to become a waiter, subsequently climbing the ladder of success in grand hotels from Basel to Pontresina. On 1 October 1992, he took over the station buffet at Samedan, which he ran for ten years. In 2001, he bought the station buffet at Bever, which the RhB had scheduled for closure. His partner now runs that establishment under the name of 'Da Primo'. He then acquired Alp Grüm in 2006 and Ospizio Bernina in 2011. And so Primo Semadeni is now in charge of three restaurants with a total staff of 23, all guaranteed to keep him on his toes.

Thell (aestivum group) 'Cheyenne' after four backcrosses to the 'Chinese Spring' variety. At the time of a previous report these lines had not had sufficient backcrosses. Tests also were made for the parental varieties, and for Cheyenne substitution lines 4B, which resembled Cheyenne, and 3D, which resembled Chinese Spring, in previous tests. Lines 2A, 2B, 2D and 7A were similar to Chinese Spring in mixing curve and baking characteristics, indicating that these Cheyenne chromosomes do not demonstrate any genetic control over the Cheyenne flour properties, at least when isolated from the rest of the complement.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

Climate-related risks to public health in the United States could include a rise in cardiovascular disease in the Northwest, more allergies in Great Plains states, and an increase in drownings in the Midwest, according to a report [1] by the Government Accountability Office (GAO). Other potential impacts of climate change include a disruption of community water supplies in Alaska, more cases of dengue fever in Hawaii and West Nile virus in the Northeast, higher incidents of heat stress in the Southwest and increased fish poisoning in the Southeast. Citing the U.S. Global Change Research Program's (USGCRP [2]) third National Climate Assessment [3] (NCA), GAO warned that "climate change is expected to impact human health in the United States by exacerbating some existing health threats and by posing new risks." Besides "heat-related illnesses and deaths," and "an increase in the length of pollen season," climate change "may contribute to the spread of vector-borne diseases." Extreme weather events, "which are expected to become more common with climate change, are linked with increases in injuries, deaths, and mental health problems, such as anxieity and post-traumatic stress disorder," the report added. "The magnitude of climate change beyond the next few decades depends primarily on the amount of heat-trapping gasses emitted globally, and how sensitive the Earth's climate is to those emissions." GAO notes that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) requires state and local public health departments participating in its $3.6 million Climate Ready States and Cities Initiative [4] to "take steps to raise public awareness about the risks that climate change poses to public health." The initiative is "the only HHS financial resource that has been offered to state and local public health departments that directly targets these risks," GAO pointed out. Cities and states are also using CDC's $22.6 million National Environmental Public Health Tracking Program, which includes "indicators on climate change, among other environmental hazards, related to extreme heat exposure" and its $611.1 million Public Health Emergency Preparedness program to support their climate change activities. But local public health officials who have used the federal money to hire "dedicated staff within their departments to work on this issue," are reporting difficulty in communicating the warning message to the public. Difficulties include "challenges in identifying potential health risks of climate change as a result of research gaps" and "insufficient data on health impacts," according to the performance audit, which GAO conducted between June 2014 and September 2015...more

WRC Team MINI Portugal press release
More twists and turns for Araújo at Rally de Portugal
For the second year in a row the Vascão stage caused heartache for WRC Team MINI Portugal's No.1 driver Armindo Araújo as he retired for the day after breaking a suspension arm on his MINI John Cooper Works WRC. The Portuguese driver as always flanked by his experienced co-driver Miguel Ramalho will restart under Rally 2 regulations hoping to wow the crowds on the final day of Rally de Portugal.
After a wrong set-up choice, Araújo had a difficult run through the morning loop of the day. The weather conditions having changed dramatically since yesterday, Araújo's MINI was too soft to face the drier gravel roads of the third day of Rally de Portugal. Struggling to find a good rhythm and losing confidence, the national hero drove through the stages trying to do the best he could without making mistakes.
Back to the WRC Team MINI Portugal service area and a quick set-up change on his MINI left the Portuguese driver determined for a better run in the afternoon. The second loop of stages started on a high, with Araújo improving his pace on the Almodovar stage by over 30 seconds. However, his run was thwarted when disaster struck 13km into SS15 as a front-right impact broke the suspension arm on the same side forcing him to retire for the day.
Armindo Araújo : "We hit the front-right wheel of our MINI 13km into SS15 and we broke a suspension arm. Of course it's disappointing because we were starting to get our confidence back and our pace was improving but that is rally. This morning was really tough - the conditions changed a lot compared to yesterday, it was drier than I expected and the grip was better. Our MINI's set-up was too soft and we couldn't find a good rhythm so we lost some time - after midday service things were improving but then we had to stop on the same stage as last year. We'll restart tomorrow and do our best to get to the finish of our home event."
The fourth and final day of Rally de Portugal gets underway for WRC Team MINI Portugal tomorrow at 06:55 when the crew leave the Algarve Stadium to head north-west of Faro to run six competitive stages - two loops of three - covering a total of 115.08km.

Purrfect Auto
Review for Purrfect Auto
Brandon M. on 08/02/2013
"This Place is GREAT!"
Jim is a crook! My Mercedes was towed to Purrfect Auto Service (referred by AAA) in need of a new fuel pump. I was charged about $1,000.00, equivalent to the dealerships pricing. When I picked up the car, the car DID run, however, they had broken the convertible top and it would no longer retract. I spoke to Jim who told me to bring it back in. He then called me saying they did not take the top off and will not fix their mistake. I also found a bolt that was not put back when they reassembled the car. The car is now at the dealership where my service advisor informed me that Purrfect Auto Service had warped the back panel in the trunk while working on the fuel pump which prevented the top from opening and closing. Their mistake has cost me an additional $2400.00 at the dealership. This company does NOT stand behind their work and I recommend bringing your car ANYWHERE but here. What little you think you are saving by not going to the dealership is obsolete, you will end up paying WAY more by bringing your car to people like this that do not posses the professionalism to get the job done right. I have now paid more than 3 times the cost because of their carelessness and lack of character to do what is right. This place should honestly be shut down, and JIM should NEVER be permitted to act or speak on the company's behalf.

Network Printer Behind Two Routers - Need Assistance to Install
I suspect the reason I have been unsuccessful in my attempts to install this printer on a host pc in a separate room of our lab is that two routers are involved and each is connected to a unique LAN wall port. I attempted to accomplish installation by printer name and IP address but, no luck. I need access to the printer by three more host computers (i.e., coupled to instrumentation). Can anyone here offer assistance?
Please relocate if necessary. I thought this issue to be best described as a network rather than hardware thread.
|My System Specs
|15 May 2014
WHat Printer is it make and model please.
|My System Specs
|15 May 2014
You would connect an ethernet cable and turn on and install the software install the network driver not direct connection driver you wiil get onscreen prompts.
Is above what you did?
|My System Specs
|16 May 2014
Every aspect of the network functions as desired. I may have described our situation poorly. For example, we update the OS, antivirus, etc. routinely with it. I simply have not been able to "see" our own printer located < 20' from the host computers on the network. The fact that I made no progress using the IP address of the printer annoyed me.
The Epson WorkForce 310 works fine for our desktop computers located in the larger part of our lab.
|My System Specs
|16 May 2014
These <20 Network computers are they on a different router?
|My System Specs
|16 May 2014
Yes, the computers in the other lab and the WorkForce 310, are behind a different router.
|My System Specs
|16 May 2014
Perhaps I misunderstood.
The way to do that is to bring them all in the same subnet.
You would do a Lan port to Lan port connection using an ethernet cable between the two routers only the one in your lab would have internet connectivity and do DHCP for both routers all port forwarding if needed would be done with the first router that had internet connectivity.
If they are wireless The above without wires and the router connected to the first with internet connectivity would have to support wireless bridging.
The second router would not have internet connectivity or DHCP or any port forwarding on it.
I can take you thru it.
No company protocols or rules are broken.
|My System Specs
|16 May 2014
I'm with you on part of this. For example, I need to disconnect the router (the host pc's are attached to) from the building LAN jack. Then, I connect it to the "primary" router (i.e., retains ethernet) with a lengthy ethernet cable. This enables the same DHCP (presumably some software controls are involved as well. ). This is okay if the host pc's connected to the "secondary" router retain access to ethernet for software updates, data transfer, etc. I will be back in the lab on Monday so, I may need to resume this then if direct involvement is required for us to interact. If not, fire away. You have my attention.
I just realized I will need to wait to determine if the "primary" router has an available port to begin this network change. I'm uncertain, but think it does.
|My System Specs
|16 May 2014
No software needed.
You will need access to both routers username and passwords?
You don't give me username password.
Thats why I say you do not break any company protocols and rules are broken you did not answer that.

Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, December 4, 2004; Page B02
Bus riders, as well as rail passengers, will travel for free during the morning rush Dec. 16, Metro announced yesterday.
The transit agency renegotiated a deal with financial services firm ING Direct, which originally offered to pay the fares of only rail riders in exchange for blanketing the system with advertising.
Some of Metro's board members, who think bus riders get too little attention, complained that they were just as deserving as rail customers of the system's first corporate giveaway.
"I'm very pleased to hear that because every opportunity we have to not treat our bus riders as second class is a good opportunity," said D.C. Council member Jim Graham, who represents the city on the Metro board.
Graham and other board members, concerned that the promotion would overwhelm Metro's already strained system, also had asked transit officials to consider changing the Dec. 16 date, a Thursday, to Friday, Dec. 17, when ridership probably would be lower. But Metro agreed to stick with Dec. 16 because that's what ING wanted. Rides will be free from 5 to 9:30 a.m.
Graham said he remained concerned about crowding but will "assume staff has worked this out and is doing everything in that regard."
Leona Agouridis, Metro's assistant general manager for communications, expressed confidence that the trains and buses can handle an expected 4 percent increase in riders.
"We feel pretty comfortable on what the numbers will bear out," she said.
ING officials said they got the message about adding bus riders when board members raised the issue.
"They brought it to our attention out of the board meeting and put a proposal together," said ING spokeswoman Ashlee Stokes, who said bus passengers were not included in similar promotions in Boston and San Francisco. "We never had anything against anything or anyone."
Metro said ING will pay $562,350 to cover fares of rail riders and about $89,500 for bus and paratransit passengers.
Stokes said ING would pay for bus riders by trimming some of its advertising. "Maybe we'll see one less billboard or something," she said.
Metro officials said the free rides fit into their newly launched campaign to win back customers after a year in which riders have endured crowding and numerous delays.
The effort to cater to riders, which focuses on the rail system, also includes plans to make individual managers responsible for specific rail lines, retrain employees, hold town hall meetings, host an Internet chat and maintain a steady supply of replacement parts so trains aren't sidelined as long.

Imogene's Past Life Regressions cause dire Consequences for Mankind. Is Reincarnation a Reality?
Imogene's Past Lives is the second book in the Imogene series.
The Phineas Priesthood and the Guardians of Avebury Circle battle to save or destroy mankind. The Council of Elders use Imogene, daughter of Guardian Xantara, to instigate penalties against the world. Despite the efforts of Frank Carrington, British prime minister, world leaders will not agree to disarm and share their countries' wealth.
Osahar, an ancient Egyptian priest, works with Imogene to release the promised consequences. Doctor Ernst Schneider has his own agenda as he hypnotizes the young girl and leads her to remember her past lives. Jacques de Sales, leader of a subcult in the Bilderberg Group, uses Imogene to advance his power and wealth. Meanwhile news anchor Susanne assists the prime minister in his desperate efforts to convince the British people to believe Imogene's message.
Will the world turn from their evil ways, or will the Phineas Priesthood kill Imogene first? What makes this eight-year-old girl special? Who are the Light Beings, and what is the role of the Council of Elders? If you enjoy a fast, exciting listen, then this series is tailor made for you!

Extreme Consequences
This is the second book about Imogene's message.Both books could have been shortened and made into 1 book.Maybe the flow would have been better.Imogene is a child of a 'witch'.A cult of christians wants to take over the world and decides to use Imogene's family as an example.Between this and book 2 we have Ezekial and his brothers,uncles ,etc heads of different sects killing people and saying stupid sterotypical stuff.'You have offended the lord,now you die','man shall not lay with man,no you die',stuff like that.Every faction grated on my nerves because it was all so superficial,nothing backed up these peoples beliefs.There were angels and demons and I could not keep them straight.I wanted to love this series,I came away just wanting to know how it ended.
Timothy McKeans performance was ok,not great.It was stilted and I believe a British narrator would have done better since the story was set in Britain for the most part.

Anyone familiar with Pennsville NJ (Salem County)?
well looks like i am moving soon. what is ne philly going to do with out me?
So you're moving to Jersey? Job related or something else?
It's just a real nice safe area, and you get so much house for your money. Just got tired of a little apt. in the NorthEast. It is a tiny little town - gonna be the complete opposite of Frankford and Cottman, but it is not like it's the end of the world. I can still get back into Center City (where I work) in 45 minutes. And it looks like a great place to raise kids, so my wife is super happy.

Toddlers are hilarious. They also cause some... awkward moments sometimes.
We were in line at Subway with my family & a chubby, bearded man came in. Aubrey looked at him, & said, "Look Mama! Ho Ho!! Santa!" (He really did look like Chris Kringle for the record.) I immediately started laughing. Hard. He wasn't. And it was awkward. (Random fact: I cannot control my laughter. And sometimes I laugh at the most inappropriate & random times. On our honeymoon, Steve & I walked into an elevator & we had to go up all these floors and it was so quiet & awkward. I looked at him & just started busting up uncontrollably. I buried my head in his chest & I'm pretty sure he second guessed his marriage decision.)
Aubrey, Kate & I were at the post office & Aubrey pointed at some huge clock they had that was basically half the size of the wall. She kept shouting, (in the middle of a long line of people,) "Big clock! Wow, so big! Big clock!" Now, Aubrey still has a cute little-girl-toddler-voice, & let's just say she pronounces "clock" without the L. Yep.
We were in the waiting room at the dentist & a black lady walked in & sat down. Aubrey kept staring at her, inched her way over slowly, pointed to her arm, & said, "Look Mama! Brown!"
Considering all of these just happened in the past couple of weeks, it seems like I better get used to these awkward situations. At least I can laugh about them later! :)

During manufacture, rotating jet‐engine components are shaped into their final configurations by machining operations which may include turning, drilling and broaching. Anomalous machining conditions, such as a loss of lubricant or a damaged cutting tool, can result in an altered near‐surface microstructure, shortening the useful life of the component. In this paper we report on preliminary attempts to detect anomalous machining damage using ultrasonic surface acoustic waves (SAWs). Two pulse∕echo immersion setups are considered: normal‐incidence acoustic microscopy (Method 1); and oblique‐incidence SAW backscatter (Method 2). Each method is applied to pairs of Ti 6‐4 turned coupons, one manufactured using accepted best practices; and one purposely damaged using abusive machining conditions. Representative results are presented for each method. Method 1 is very sensitive to changes in surface topology; thus near‐surface damage that is accompanied by surface topology changes can be readily detected. For detecting microstructural damage in the absence of topology changes, Method 2 is preferable. In Method 2 the transducer tilt angle is found which results in the maximum backscattered SAW "noise." This angle is dependent on the effective surface wave speed, which in turn is influenced by the near‐surface microstructure. For a set twenty Ti 6‐4 turned coupons, Method 2 was generally able to distinguish damaged from undamaged surfaces.

text: I moved 400 miles away to college at 18. I still came home for the summer all but one year of college. Moved back in for one semester when my mom got sick and died, my dad needed the extra help. Moved back to finish college in TX, then graduated, moved back in with my dad for about 6 months. Moved out again for the last time in October. I only live 6 miles from my family now. I see them occasionally, maybe once a week or two unless Emily is in visiting. Sometimes I miss the 400 mile distance (never any worry about them just dropping in, but they're good about not doing that) but it's also nice to have each other as built in dog sitters lol. Right now I'm house sitting for my dad and taking care of the dogs while he's out of town. It's also nice to not be completely out of the loop like I was in regards to family. I used to be annoyed when they'd tell me about such and such time when they all got together- except for me because I was too far away. My dad and I also work at the same company and while we were in totally different groups when I started, they moved him in November so now I see him more often at work, which is awkward. I was out with my co-workers and we ran into him at lunch this week. We're also all moving into the same building in May so I think we'll see each other even more. Right now we work in different buildings. But there will still be 11 floors between us so hopefully it's not too bad. My first time moving out, I was scared and I cried when they left and after they visited the first couple of times. 400 miles seemed like a lot but I quickly learned to love it and the freedom, starting to build my own life. I visited home once a semester and then over Christmas and summer. I NEVER imagined moving back in twice, but it happened. When I moved back home the first time I barely thought of it since I knew my mom had been given less than 6 months to live and that someone in the family was going to have to work and get the kids to school (Josie was only 11, Emily was 16 and had no DL yet). Plus my mom needed around the clock care. It was a good decision I don't regret but it made my life get pushed back quite a bit as opposed to my plan. When I moved back out to TX, my friends had all graduated and gone and I felt very lonely. Plus I felt like I just wasn't in the same place as the other students so had a hard time connecting. Finishing school was just not fun, the only bright thing at that time was getting Mia. Moving back in at 24 even though it was only a couple months, SUCKED. It was awful, I felt like a bum and a leech. When I moved back out last year, it was amazing. I am SO SO glad I don't have to live at home anymore.

Salman Khan, who underwent a surgery in US to get rid of the acute pain as a result of Trigeminal Neuralgia (a nerve disorder that causes intense pain in the face), is in pain again.
His pain post surgery had receded to only being 30 percent of what it was before. But it increased to 60 to 70 percent as he started shooting in Dublin in cold weather for his movie. He will go back again for another round in the coming three months as decided.
The actor confirms, "My pain, which had subsidised post surgery, has increased to 60 to 70 percent because of the cold weather in Dublin where I am shooting for my film. I have difficulty and feel intense pain while talking. I will be going back for the second round of surgery in another three months."

He is highly being recruited by all the big name colleges. And he's only a sophomore. Victor is younger but badder. Rank 5th nationally, 1st in Cali. Blue chip. I'm not sure about going pro, but for sure both of them will get a free ride to any big school they choose. Free education for sure. I hope their parents have set solid plans for them, kids can burn out at anytime if they manage them wrongly. Anyhow, I can't link their direct links. But you can just type their names in the search for player on the right side of the page at tennisrecruiting.net Best of luck to them.
