I think the best and probably the tested out way of getting motivation is through practice and creating new methods, it is real fun to do that, but unfortunately people don't buy too much into that. I was bit like that only till I got with OctaFX since with their quality demo contest in Southampton Supreme, it is awesome with unlimited prizes to be won, I can practice regularly without any boring part been there which is always there on demo.
Once I was reading a book on forex trading. There I find great information about forex trading. And some of close friend was involved in forex trading. It is very much enthusiastic that they are earning a lot of handsome amount by trading. I am highly motivated from them. Starting with a demo account I am now trading in TryMarkets. And I need to mention that TryMarkets is much helpful and trustworthy broker I have ever find.
"The part of motivation in Forex trading is difficult to overestimate. Infrequently, you think you can't go on - particularly on the off chance that you've encountered a progression of misfortunes. For a few people, aftereffects of other expert traders are sufficiently moving.
Forex veterans are a definitive verification that achievement is achievable.
Admire a professional trader and see the means they take to accomplish incredible outcomes - similar strides you can go up against your own.
The witticism of expert direction: ""If my coach can do it, I can do it as well."" I am a binary options trader at now. I trade on lxmarkets.com as it has many options varients to choose from. You will get various payment methods to withdraw and deposit your money"
Frankly, live market analysis of trade-24.com broker is my best inspiration! I get proper instructions on live market from their market commentaries! As a novice trader, most of the time I cant track right trend of market, then I use these useful trading analysis! I seem, Forex trading business is very challenging profession! And you cant fight here, if you dont have a good trading strategy or professional trading analysis!
I think that if a person needs some kind of motivation to trade forex, it's best not to start at all.
I fell motivated when I close deals successfully. After that I want to enter new deals, learn something new and so on.

BISHOP is the new girl in town, and she's a prime example why you should always watch television with your phone ready to Shazam a catchy commercial backing track – high profile placement ads like Acura are now the norm for breaking out emerging artists, and this track is an undeniable hit. Of the track she says:
"Sometimes being free is more important than being in love. That's what this song is about."
"Wild Horses" is BISHOP's debut and her acoustic folk sound against a trap-like beat is one authentic approach that solidifies her as a new, electric voice to look out for on a forthcoming EP.

President Obama's eight-day trip to Africa came to a fitting end on Tuesday as he stood side by side with the man whose legacy seemed to trail him all across the continent.
Obama made a rare joint appearance with former President George W. Bush at a memorial to the victims of the 1998 bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Tanzania.
Throughout the trip, the president's efforts were largely measured against those of Bush — who remains beloved in Africa for his signature AIDS relief program — and China, which has invested aggressively in the continent.
The president also sought to promote democratic institutions, only to find himself in the shadow of both Nelson Mandela, the ailing anti-apartheid icon battling a potentially fatal respiratory disease, and a brewing internal conflict in Egypt.
The news about Mandela and Egypt largely overshadowed the president's announcement about a multibillion-dollar initiative to expand electricity access in Africa, as well as the creation of a major partnership aimed at expanding U.S. trade to sub-Saharan Africa.
Still, foreign policy and economic experts say that behind the scenes, the president laid the groundwork for investments and partnerships that could pay off for generations to come.
The president's Power Africa initiative, which aims to double access to electricity across sub-Saharan Africa, could dramatically alter the continent's role in the world economy, experts said.
Scott Eisner, the vice president of African Affairs and International Operation at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said electricity access was "one of the major issues prohibiting growth" in Africa.
"To focus on power — he was dead on to do it," Eisner said, adding that electricity access was the "baseline of all growth of economies."
The program is also a strategic counter to China's growing influence. Total trade between the China and sub-Saharan Africa surpassed the region's trade with the United States in 2009, and China has routinely offered to fund vast infrastructure projects like roads, railways and electricity in exchange for contracts that ensure access to raw material resources.
But the president emphasized that the American investments would bring jobs and opportunities in, rather than simply siphon resources out.
Speaking in Tanzania on Tuesday shortly before boarding a flight to Washington, Obama called the electricity program "a win-win."
"It's a win for Africans — families get to electrify their homes; businesses can run their plants; investors can say if we locate in an African country, that they're going to be able to power up in a reliable way. All this will make economies grow," Obama said.
"It's a win for the United States because the investments made here, including in cleaner energy, means more exports for the U.S. and more jobs in the U.S.," he said.
The president also announced a trade initiative aimed at moving goods faster and at a lower cost across borders within Africa.
"We'll work with the countries involved to modernize customs, move to single more efficient border crossings, reduce bottlenecks, reduce the roadblocks that stymie the flow of goods to market," he told business executives at a roundtable event earlier this week.
Still, the American focus on competing with China has its own complications. Greg Adams, who directs Oxfam America's advocacy work on aid effectiveness, says the president's plan "parallels in a lot of ways the Chinese approach," without addressing crucial issues like aid transparency or ensuring the abilities of African governments to regulate the newly emerging power markets.
"It's great the president is making the trip, and it's great he's focused on an issue like access to power ... but it seems to be the same sort of model we've seen in the past, a little bit of new wine in an old bottle," Adams said.
Calestous Juma, a professor at the Harvard Kennedy School, also said it was a mistake to view Africa today "through the lens of China."
"Africa is emerging as a legitimate economic and political player on the global scene that is worthy of U.S. attention without the tedious detour through Sino-U.S. relations," Juma said.
Juma said African leaders "view their future in pragmatic terms," and predicted Obama's trip could "usher in a new age of collaborative economic diplomacy."
"Africa is entering a new age where economic growth is needed to reinforce the gains made on the democracy and human rights fronts," Juma said.
The White House hopes that by supporting African economic growth, the U.S. will empower governments there to take a more active role in fostering beneficial trade relationships. They also see stronger African governments as a way to further streamline the delivery of aid.
Ahead of their joint appearance Tuesday, Obama praised Bush for spending political capital to jumpstart AIDS relief efforts. But he also defended eliminating millions in funding to the program by saying the programs had gotten more effective.
The hope, Obama said, is that a stronger sub-Sahara Africa would someday begin implementing more of the programs on their own.
"The important piece is acknowledging that the transition needs to happen at some point," Adams said. "African countries need to be able to lead their own solution to the HIV/AIDS challenge.
"We ... have a contribution to make to that, but we're just going to be treading water if we don't make the space for African leadership to take over."

Can't Get Enough (River Bend, #2)
#2, River Bend
Molly McLain
This book can be downloaded and read in iBooks on your Mac or iOS device.
When life gives you lemons, find a former Marine with sexy abs to lick the lemonade from…
Tony Dunn's panty-snatching bachelor life has been turned upside down—he now has custody of a daughter he didn't even know he fathered. With his focus solely on doing right by his little girl, the last thing he needs is a sexy, totally distracting blonde showing up on his doorstep.
Nicole Hodges is in River Bend temporarily, to handle her grandmother's estate and get the heck out of Dodge before her past catches up with her. Only problem is…she likes the quiet little town more than she expects, and she can't resist overextending herself to help her built-like-a-bad-boy neighbor get his life back on track
Tony and Nicole have different goals in mind, none of which include a relationship. But what harm could come from a little fun--the naked kind--if they both know the rules up front?
Warning: This book contains a sex-deprived single dad with a wicked tongue. Enough said.
Customer Reviews
Sexy Story of a Sex Single Dad
I fell in love with this small town in the first book of this series and Molly McLain hit it home again with this book. Tony is such a lovable man and I don't think there was a better way to tell his story. I love Nicole and Tony together, their focus on Brianna, just everything. This book hits all the marks you want in a good romance novel! Now I can't wait for the next book in the series so I can fall more in love with River Bend!

Window, door and locker shuts cleaned - this helps keep the van clean with no dirty streaks
Fridge vents removed and cleaned - my method will ensure this often neglected area is cleaned and dried.
Engine bay shuts and landing platform cleaned carefully (diesels only)- this area is often overlooked.

Tar and tree resin spots removed - to acheive that fresh from the showroom finish.
A hand applied wax coating - all caravans and motorhomes are constructed using several different materials each of which may require different types of wax. I use an appropriate wax for each surface to ensure maximum protection.

Exterior Rejuvenation Valet*
This top of the range valet includes everything in the Standard and Premium Valets plus rejuvenating your van to a pristine condition ( this is done before waxing in this service).

Once completed this finish should last for many years if my after care instructions are followed.
Time to complete approx. nine plus hours
Caravans £230.00
Motorhomes £230.00
*Due to the time this valet takes to complete I can only offer it during British Summertime.
Currently Motorhomevalet is not offering internal valets

A: I agree with having a half marathon race within 3 to 4 weeks before a marathon as a tune-up. Elite athletes do this and the results for the marathon are great. Just make sure you choose a fairly flat course so it doesn't "load" your legs too much from a hilly course.

Can you provide clearer instructions on how much Safari 20SG spray power to mix in a gallon of water to control scales on my cotton wood and apspen trees. The directions with the spray were very confusing for a spray tank sprayer. My Order NO.11615820 Thanks
For a foliar spray you can use 1.0 tsp per gallon of water to cover 200 sq ft.

Washington, June 27: This weekend, America has sex on its mind. In a majority judgment of six against three, the US Supreme Court has ruled against archaic laws in nine Americans states, which ban oral and anal sex even among married couples in the privacy of their homes.
The conservatives are outraged by the judgment and were on the streets yesterday, holding hands in prayer in front the highest court of the land as the judges gave finishing touches to their landmark ruling.
The liberals are out too, celebrating. Especially gays and lesbians. The judgement strikes down laws against sodomy by gay men in four more states again in the privacy of their homes. Until the 1960s, all 50 states in the US had criminal laws that outlawed consensual sodomy. Until yesterday, such statues remained on the book only in 13 states.
The Supreme Courts ruling has put President George W. Bush in a fix. If he endorses the ruling, he runs the risk of undermining his base among conservatives.
But liberal and largely suburban voters, whom the Republicans are trying to attract, will be put off by any criticism of the judgment.
Yesterdays judgment was prompted by a case in Texas, where Bush was governor until his choice as President in 2000.
In 1998, two Texans, John Lawrence and Tyron Garner, were having sex in the privacy of the home of one of the men.
A neighbour called the police, but only said a man with a gun was going crazy in Lawrences apartment.
The police broke in, found no gun, but caught the two men engaged in sex. The neighbour was charged with filing a false report.
Lawrence and Garner were booked under a law which barred deviate sexual intercourse.
They were jailed briefly and released after a court fined each men $200 plus court costs.
Gay and lesbian organisations made a cause out of the arrests of the two men and took their case all the way up to the Supreme Court.
Texas defended its statute at every stage of the process arguing that the sodomy has nothing to do with marriage or conception or parenthood and it is not on a par with these sacred choices.
Ruth Harlow, lawyer for the two men, said after yesterdays judgment that all of us as Americans have the right to choose how we can express our love for one another in the privacy of our own homes.
In his dissenting judgement, Justice Antonin Scalia, a fierce conservative on the bench, said the court has largely signed on to the so-called homosexual agenda...The court has taken sides in the culture war.
Justice Anthony Kennedy, writing for the majority judges, said that gay people are entitled to respect for their private lives... The state cannot demean their existence or control their destiny by making their private sexual conduct a crime.

To keep things fun and not risk too much money, most beginners make $2 bets.
To place a $2 Win bet on horse number 7, you would say, "<Track Name>, $2 to Win on Number 7″.
Box Bet – Any of the above bets can be boxed for an additional wager. For example, instead of paying $2 for an Exacta bet that requires the horses to finish in an exact first and second place order, you can pay $4 for an Exacta Box bet, and you will win the Exacta bet regardless of which of the two horses comes in first.
Trifecta Bet – A bet on the exact first, second, and third place finishers in exact order.
Place Bet – A bet that the horse you chose will come in second (a place bet is also a winning bet if the horse you chose comes in first).
Daily Double Bet – A bet on the first place finishers in two consecutive races.
The reason why you need to start out with the <Track Name> is because you can bet on horse races at many tracks from the horse track you are currently at, so you need to specify the track to the betting clerk.
. Across The Board Bet) – Bets on the first, second, and third place finishers; each act as a separate bet.
Once you have taken the time to look over the racing program and the professionals' advice, it is time to start figuring out which bets you would like to place for the upcoming race. The point is to have fun, not to go home without money you need to pay your bills. Never bet more than you can afford to lose.
Win Bet – A bet that the horse you chose will win the race.
The following is the correct way to place a bet with a betting clerk:
Show Bet – A bet that the horse you chose will come in third (a show bet is also a winning bet if the horse you chose comes in first or second).
Win, Place, and Show Bet (a.k.a. At this point, some people like to spend some time on the paddock to see the horses being walked from the stable to the track, as it adds to the horse racing experience and occasionally one might notice something about a horse that influences the way they bet, such as a horse that appears sluggish or one that seems like it is in exceptional shape.
Exacta Bet – A bet on the exact first and second place finishers in exact order.
To place a $2 Exacta Box bet on horse 2 and 5, you would say, "<Track Name>, $2 Exacta Box on Numbers 2 and 5″ (keep in mind that this is actually a $4 bet since you are boxing the bet).
While there are a variety of bets, the following are the most common bets, and are more than enough for beginners


text: I'm playing MH3 and some times I do some hit and miss things, so I need to reset the game quite often. My question is, when I press "Home" button and go to "Reset", the Wii boots itself, and not the game, so I have to go aaaaall over again to the Homebrew Channel, Geckos... blablablabla. Is there any option that I can change to reset just the software I'm playing? Thanks in advance.

Hatchbacks with serious power are quite common in Europe, where they're the most affordable ticket to a genuine sports seat.
Here, the breed has only a small following and we miss out on some examples. It also has a significant limitation in Australia in that its firm, short-travel suspension is invariably set up for much better roads than ours.
These cars like their bitumen smooth, sticky and safe rather than decrepit and dangerous.
That means around Sydney you can expect a ride on the hard side and some hammer-like hits, especially at the front end, on our goat-track surfaces.
That said, the small hatch plus big power formula, done well, is seductive.
Any of these three will probably see your Sundays henceforth spent out of town, on the endless quest for that perfect set of corners.
Alfa Romeo 147 GTA
From $59,990
As with any Alfa, the highlight here is the engine: a 184kW, 3.2-litre V6, which is civilised enough when you just want to get to work but on days off likes nothing better than to be given a damn good thrashing.
You have a band of 3000 howling, silken revs to play with, up to a 7000rpm redline.
The six-speed manual is the perfect accompaniment; a Selespeed semi-automatic transmission adds $4000.
Handling and steering are excellent on smooth roads, aided by stupendous grip from the test car's 225/45 Bridgestone S-02 tyres on 17-inch alloy wheels. However, the GTA becomes twitchy in the rough, the ride is punishing and there's some torque steer.
The cabin is cosy and dark. Check that the steering wheel's limited range of adjustment gives you enough leg room. The back stalls are intimate and boot space is average.
A single CD player and cloth upholstery (leather adds $3500) are hardly appropriate at the price. The 147 could also only manage three Euro NCAP safety stars.
BMW 130i Sport
From $62,000
The new 130i gets the impeccably smooth and muscular 195kW, 3.0-litre straight six, six-speed manual plus added M Sport tackle: upgraded suspension, wheels and tyres, sports seats and steering wheel, leather upholstery and a body kit.
Performance is sensational. The 3.0-litre has only 1375kg to shift, so the 130i is seriously quick. Rear-drive, a 50:50 weight distribution, scalpel-like steering and powerful brakes make the 130i the benchmark handler in the class. None of the front-drivers can touch it.
However, the Pirelli Euforia runflat tyres lack the grip expected of premium performance rubber. Viewed from the front-end, at least, the 130i also looks like something your Aunty Valmae drives.
The 130i is generously equipped. Leather, a six-stack CD player, DataDots and bi-xenon headlights are included. The driver's seat is a beauty and there's plenty of adjustability. Back-seat leg room is tight, while the boot is quite big. Five-star safety and A-grade quality.
VW Golf GTI
From $39,990
VW has the 184kW, 3.2-litre V6 all-wheel-drive Golf R32 due in August, priced at about $60,000.
You can buy an Audi A3 3.2-litre V6 Quattro Sportback - same car, different badge - today, but you'll be up for $73,990, which makes sense to no one but Audi.
The 147kW, 2.0-litre direct injection turbocharged GTI has sold by the boatload since its launch. There's still a waiting list of several months.
The GTI goes hard, albeit with a touch of turbo lag from low revs. It has the agility and precision to be a satisfying, enjoyable drive. It works better than the Alfa and BMW on our poor roads and it is also a more practical, easy-to-live with device.
It's relatively spacious, for a start, and the ride is reasonably comfortable.
The GTI actually works well as family transport, with five-star safety, a useful boot and plenty of equipment. It's also built like a small tank, though the test car had a few squeaks and rattles.

Multiple sclerosis: how could stem cells help?
Over 400,000 people in the EU have multiple sclerosis (MS). It can cause blurred vision, extreme fatigue, pain, numbness, loss of movement and speech problems. It is the most common disease causing disability in young adults, and there is currently no cure. How could stem cell research help in the development of new treatments?
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease where a person's immune system starts attacking and destroying myelin sheaths. When neurons lose their myelin, signals can't be sent properly and the neurons begin to die. This leads to the symptoms of MS.
Stem cells in the brain naturally try to repair and replace myelin as damage occurs, but the immune system in MS patients will attack the myelin again.
There are currently no cell replacement treatments for MS, however research into using stem cells to 'reset' a patient's immune system have shown promising results.
Researchers are interested in using stem cells to study MS and find ways to prevent and/or repair myelin damage.
Some studies are looking at using chemotherapy to destroy a person's immune system and then use stem cells to build a new immune system that won't attack myelin. This has had positive results in clinical trials.
Researchers are examining treatments and drugs that can harness and possibly enhance the ability of brain stem cells to naturally repair myelin.
Scientists are also trying to develop stem cell treatments to replace neurons destroyed by various neurological diseases, including MS.
Autoimmune diseases of all kinds are challenging to treat because the immune system attacks a patient's own cells. Completely blocking the immune system is not a viable treatment option.
Another challenge to developing MS treatments is that there is no single pattern to what causes the immune system of a person to start attacking the myelin sheath; the trigger causing the disease could be totally different in each patient.
Scientists still don't fully understand how myelin sheaths are created by the nervous system. This makes trying to develop treatments to repair myelin sheaths very difficult.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. In the healthy body, these nerve cells carry messages between the brain and the rest of the body, allowing us to move, balance, see, hear and feel. In MS, the body's own immune system attacks the nerve cells so that they cannot function properly.
Each nerve cell is wrapped in a protective sheath called myelin. If the myelin is damaged, the cell can no longer carry messages properly. This is what happens in MS. Depending on which nerves are damaged, patients may suffer from a range of symptoms, commonly involving problems with walking and sensation, bladder and bowel issues and fatigue. These symptoms appear for a time (known as a relapse) and then improve (remission), often going back to normal as the body repairs the damaged myelin. However, ultimately the nerve cells themselves are damaged and begin to degenerate, until eventually they stop working entirely. As the disease progresses, more nerve cells are affected, causing increasing disability.
There is currently no cure for multiple sclerosis but it is possible to treat the symptoms and reduce the number of relapses using medicine, exercise and physiotherapy. These treatments aim to help patients cope with symptoms or try to prevent damage to the nerve cells, but they do not help repair damage once it has occurred. Researchers hope that stem cell therapies may provide new approaches that can both prevent damage and enable us to repair it.
Stem cells are part of the body's normal repair system – making new cells to replace those that get damaged or die. There are several different types of stem cells and scientists are investigating a number of ways they might be used to develop new treatments for multiple sclerosis:
- Preventing damage: It may be possible to use certain types of stem cells to 'reset' the immune system (known as immunomodulation). The aim is to prevent the immune system from attacking the nerve cells, or reduce the amount of damage done.
- Repairing damage: Stem cells may be able to help repair the damaged myelin sheath, 'remyelinating' the nerves and allowing them to function correctly again. This could prevent the nerves themselves from degenerating. In the distant future, researchers hope that stem cells might be used to re-grow nerves that have been lost. However, this is much more complicated.
- Developing new medicines: stem cells can be used to grow nerve cells in the lab. These cells can be used to study how MS works, and to test potential new drugs.
The various approaches offer different advantages and may be useful for treating different types or stages of MS.
Blood stem cells
Blood stem cells are found in the bone marrow. They make the different types of cells found in the blood, including some cells that belong to the immune system and are involved in causing the damage in MS. In some early clinical trials, MS patients have been given transplants of their own blood stem cells in an attempt to 'reset' the immune system. The patient's existing immune cells are first suppressed using chemotherapy (treatment with powerful medicine). Blood stem cells previously taken from the patient's own bone marrow are then injected into the blood stream with the aim of generating new immune cells that will not attack the body's nerve cells. This method appears to have shown benefits in some patients, but it is not yet proven and it is a risky procedure, with a death rate of 1-2%. It is therefore only being tested in clinical trials for patients with highly active forms of multiple sclerosis that do not respond to available therapies. Current clinical trials are investigating how effective this treatment is, and how the risks and side effects could be reduced.
Mesenchymal stem cells
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are also present in the bone marrow. They normally form bone, cartilage and fat cells. Some researchers are investigating whether MSCs may help 're-train' the immune system so that it does not attack the nerve cells, or may produce useful chemicals to help repair myelin. Studies in animals have shown some promising results and early clinical trials in patients are now taking place to see whether this may be helpful in humans.
The brain contains stem cells called neural stem cells. They attempt to repair myelin after damage, but this process is inefficient and is not enough to repair all the damage caused by MS over time. Researchers hope to find ways to encourage these neural stem cells to do a better repair job, or to add new cells to improve repair. Improving repair of the myelin sheath would enable the nerve cells to send messages again and would reduce degeneration of the nerves.
Current research is focused on understanding how neural stem cells carry out repair, and on searching for drugs that will enhance the repair process using the cells already in the patient's brain. In the longer term, it may be possible to transplant new neural stem cells, nerve cells or myelin-forming cells into the brain, but this would be a much more complex process and the new cells would first have to be grown in dishes in the laboratory, for example from embryonic stem cells or induced pluripotent stem cells.
Embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells can produce every type of cell found in the body. Researchers have developed ways to control these stem cells to make human nerve cells and myelin in the laboratory. These lab-grown nerve cells do not yet meet the strict safety and purity standards that would be needed for transplantation into patients, but they do give researchers a valuable opportunity to study the problems that occur in MS. They can also be used to test the effects of potential new drugs. Carrying out studies on cells may help to speed up the progress of drug development because important information can be obtained in the early stages of a study using cells, before research on animals is required.
No. Although stem cells are already very useful in MS disease research, there are currently no approved stem cell treatments available for multiple sclerosis. Several different approaches and types of stem cells are being investigated for their potential use in future treatments: stem cells may be able to 'reset' the immune system, repair the myelin on nerve cells or perhaps in the long-term may even be used to grow completely new nerve cells. Stem cells are unlikely to cure multiple sclerosis but in the future may be able to slow, stop or even reverse the progress of the disease. However, much more research is needed to establish whether the different sorts of stem cells can provide safe and effective treatments for MS, and how those cells should be used.

The Chicago White Sox could use a win after losing seven of their last eight games. The White Sox have allowed 15 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in five of their last eight games. The Chicago White Sox have an ERA of 4.05 and have lost five straight games when allowing more than three runs. Offensively, Adam Eaton leads Chicago with 103 hits, Melky Cabrera has 43 RBI and Jose Abreu has 11 home runs. Jose Quintana takes the hill, and he's 8-8 with a 3.13 ERA and 112 strikeouts this season. Quintana is 4-4 with a 4.32 ERA and 66 strikeouts in his career against the Tigers.
The Tigers are 6-2 in their last 8 during game 4 of a series and 1-12 in Sanchezs last 13 starts. The White Sox are 2-6 in their last 8 during game 4 of a series and 4-1 in Quintanas last 5 starts. The Tigers are 1-4 in Sanchezs last 5 starts vs. White Sox.
The Tigers haven't had much success with Sanchez on the mound this season, while Quintana has been fairly solid and has won his last three starts. While it's tough to predict this game overall due to them having to finish Saturday's game first, I give the edge to the White Sox.

MOST home buyers spend more than nine months searching for a house, do more than 100 hours of research and inspect about 12 properties before buying.
A BankSA national survey has also revealed most home buyers spend less than 60 minutes inspecting the actual property they end up buying, despite it being one of the most important purchasing decisions of their lives.
BankSA managing director Jane Kittel says most buyers believe they are doing enough in the way of pre-purchase checks, yet about half found hidden problems after they moved in.
The survey found about 12 per cent of homes had plumbing issues, 10 per cent had poor phone or internet reception, nine per cent had cracks in walls or floors, eight per cent had bad TV reception and seven per cent had noisy neighbours.
The BankSA survey was conducted by Lonergan Research in July and quizzed 1245 people across the country.
