The Mall and IT Plaza. Shop around the stalls on the top floor of The Mall for a good deal. Ask the traders to confirm that what they are selling was built specifically for the Thai market.Happy birthday for Friday to your wife.
From what I saw, it costs everywhere about the same: 19,800 Baht. As it is a fairly complicated thing for a not computer-savvy person, you should put focus on the after-sale services the shop offers. My wife bought an iPhone 5 from the AIS shop in the Mall a year ago, and she goes there about every month now, and lets them update the OS and applications. Takes an hour, and they do it for free.
Thanks for that Saf and the birthday greetings. I'm a bit worried about buying it from the stalls as to whether it would be a genuine S4 and not some rip off copy, how would you tell the difference ?
Phones in The Mall should be genuine. If you ask whether it's a real deal or copy they will tell you the truth. I'm not so confident about that in IT Plaza.I bought a Galaxy from a kiosk in The Mall and had good service. They explained that I needed a new, smaller sim and pointed to the AIS shop where they did the job for me. If there's Samsung shop there and the price is the same as at the kiosks, that may be the best route for you.
www.lazada.co.th (use google chrome browswer with google translate if you can't read Thai). They have great deals and deliver free (cash on delivery). I've bought several items at heavily discounted prices, and never had a problem with goods/service.
Here ya go fellahttp://www.lazada.co.th/samsung-galaxy-s4-white-139066.html
Don't let the wife see the Note 3 or she'll want that instead.
Thats it, thanks for that and the cheapest price i've seen
Language can be changed in Settings on the Galaxy.
Thanks Saf, but can you change language willy nilly, when two people are using it and retain info.......Is that understandable or as clear as mud
Just keep using it, too, and let your wife teach you how, so you can monitor how many phone numbers of people you don't know she has stored. Shouldn't be so difficult, even if it runs on Thai board language: Those smartphones use icons instead of text.
As far as I can tell, you would have to go to Settings each time.

Guitar Music Theory by Desi Serna
Guitarist, teacher, author, and owner of Guitar-Music-Theory.com, Desi Serna, takes you beyond guitar basics, presenting intermediate and advanced level information on how music works and gets applied to the guitar fretboard. Through Desi's website, blog posts, books, and videos, you receive the instruction you need to increase your knowledge of music, understand the construction of popular songs, and improve your improvisational and compositional skills.
The guitar instruction available on this website is based on Desi's popular books, Fretboard Theory, Fretboard Theory Volume II, Guitar Theory For Dummies, and Guitar Rhythm and Technique For Dummies. Desi is also the author of How To Teach Guitar and Start Your Own Music Instruction Business.
If you already have a handle on the basics of guitar playing and you want to take your knowledge and skills to the next level and beyond, then peruse the website, read a blog article, watch a free video, join the email list, and become a Fretboard Theory member.
What is Guitar Theory?
What is guitar theory? While music theory pertains to music in general, guitar theory pertains to the guitar specifically. Typically, this includes only those aspects of music that enable guitarists to find their way around the fretboard, play music, and compose. You won't get far on guitar without learning chord shapes, scale patterns, chord progressions, note positions, and intervals. You won't accomplish much if you don't understand keys, modes, harmony, chord relationships, and scale applications to some degree. Without some understanding of rhythm and without developing technique your playing will never take shape. By learning guitar theory, you equip yourself to play songs, compose your own music, and improvise. Learn more about guitar theory
What Scales Should a Guitar Player Learn?
In music, a scale is a series of notes played in ascending and descending fashion. Scale notes make patterns on the fretboard, which guitarists finger and pick position to position. Guitar players use scales to play melodies, riffs, solos, and bass lines.
There are countless types of scales that can be played on guitar, but did you know that popular music is mostly based on just two types of patterns? That's right. Familiar genres of music like pop, rock, blues, and country use scale patterns based on the pentatonic scale and major scale. Another type of scale, the harmonic minor, is worked into these patterns on occasion. If you want to be successful playing popular styles of music, then you need to focus your attention on these indispensable scales. Learn more about guitar scales
What is the Secret to Building and Using Chord Forms on Guitar?
There are literally thousands of different kinds of chords and chord shapes that can be played on the guitar, but did you know that most are related in some way to just five core forms? In the open position the five forms are C, A, G, E, and D. What does that spell? CAGED. With the guitar CAGED chord system, you barre each of the five open forms and move around the neck playing different chords in other positions, but that's only the beginning!
You see, the CAGED system doesn't end with making barre chords. Each chord form has a related arpeggio pattern. The notes from each arpeggio pattern are used to make all sorts of chord shapes. And these chords aren't just used for strumming. Lead guitarists use the CAGED system to map out chord tones within scale patterns, and then they target these notes while they solo so that their lead lines are guided by notes relating closely to the chords and progression. Learn more about the guitar CAGED chord system
How Do Guitarists Play Chord Progressions and Use the Number System?
Music is always based on movement, whether it be melodic movement, chordal movement, or, in most cases, both. Almost every song is composed using a group of chords that move from one to another. A chord progression is the way in which chords are put together to form a series of chord changes. As chords change they determine the music's movement and a song's structure. Composing a chord progression requires you to understand relationships between chords and concepts involving the way chords lead to and pass from one another. Learn more about guitar chord progressions and playing by numbers
What Are Modes and How Do Guitarists Play Modal Scales?
One of the biggest mistakes guitar players make is to assume that the modal concept is just a theoretical idea that doesn't really have a practical purpose, but this is not true. Most music is based in a mode in one way or another and recognizing modes is critical to understanding how music works. Chord progressions, melodies, harmonies, riffs, lead guitar solos, and bass lines are all derived from modal scales in some fashion. Understanding the modal concept is absolutely necessary if you want to become a knowledgeable, versatile player.
In a nutshell, here's how modes work. The major scale has seven notes, and any one of them can be used as the starting point, or the primary pitch, of a piece of music. In other words, you don't always have to base music off of the first degree and chord of the major scale. The sound of the scale changes depending on which degree is primary. Learn more about guitar modes and modal scales
How Do Guitar Players Learn the Fretboard?
With a combination of vertical frets and horizontal strings, the fretboard (or fingerboard) is essentially a grid. When arranged and played on this fretboard grid, notes, scales, chords, and progressions make shapes and patterns. Guitarists visualize these shapes and patterns in order to navigate around the neck. Furthermore, guitarists understand how musical elements fit together by fitting their pieces together like a puzzle. In fact, you can build chords, compose chord progressions, and determine correct scales to play simply by relating to shapes and patterns, with little or no regard to key signatures, notes, sharps, and flats. Even if you take the traditional route of thinking, you still have to translate the music concepts to the fretboard and connect the dots, so to speak. This is why guitarists usually prefer to make use of guitar tablature and neck diagrams over standard notation. Learn more about the guitar fretboard

Kellan Lutz opens up about wacky inventions
TWILIGHT star KELLAN LUTZ is a budding inventor who has a plan to foil cops chasing bank robbers.
The actor has been working on the idea since he was a science nerd growing up in Iowa and he made a pitch for a billionaire to invest in his idea during an appearance on U.S. late night show Conan on Thursday (15Nov12).
He told the host, "As a kid I wanted to rob a bank - I still want to... It was more to get away with it... I was like, 'Why don't the guys getting chased by the cops have a trapdoor under their car; you should plan ahead.
"My idea was... I'd have a getaway vehicle and I'd go down an alleyway... so there's only one lead vehicle chasing me... I'd have, like, a Pokemon ball... and I'm obsessed with (engineer and physicist Nikola) Tesla... so there's Tesla coils in there and I've a chemical compound and the whole idea is you push the Pokemon ball... throw it under your trapdoor; it's full electricity and once it hits the lead vehicle, it, like, hits the metal (and) it just disrupts the battery and fries it.
"When you stop the lead vehicle, it stops all the other cars."
Lutz has also come up with a laundry invention to turn "cool baby clothes" into fashion items for adults.
He added, "I'm a terrible washer, dryer - whatever shrinks your clothes... so I was saying, 'Why can't you have an expander... which expands the follicles of your fabric...'
"I could buy my baby clothes, save money 'cos it's cheaper and then just throw it in this expander and have some cool clothes to wear."

Just Like Old World Azshara
The starting zones held so much promise, as did Silverpine and Azshara. But outside of those zones, there's the occasional bone but nothing really meaty to dig into.
From the starter zone, the next logical location for a newly minted Worgen was Darkshore. And there was nothing there for the Worgen. Oh, there was plenty going on --hey there, Malfurion-- but nothing much Worgen-centric. Ashenvale, the center of so much old Worgen lore, only has a couple of Worgen present, who are completely interchangeable with any other race. If you make it all the way down to Feralas, for a few brief moments it looks like the Worgen are going to have a lot to do with zone. But the three Worgen there, just like in Ashenvale, could be substituted for Night Elves or another race entirely. The fight with Cho'gall? That was all Night Elf.
Ironically enough, if you want Worgen lore in Alliance heavy zones, you have to go to Duskwood and Raven Hill. Or you could visit the contested Blasted Lands, where there's a Worgen encampment in the butt-end of the Azerothian universe.
The Goblins fare little better, but that's also due to having to share Azeroth with the Steamwheedle Cartel. There's only so many places you can stick more goblins, although Blizz's love of Trolls seems to dispute that phenomenon. Blizz seems to have solved some of the Bilgewater Cartel Goblin issues by getting rid of some of the Venture Company spots and replacing them with Bilgewater Cartel instead (like, say, Stonetalon). But the Horde Goblins end up with only a few bones, and they get the "they're the Horde's Gnomes" treatment instead.
Both races have such great and complete beginnings that it's a real shame to see them so utterly forgotten once you leave the starting zones. It's like seeing the Draenei and Blood Elves' treatment in the Old World (pre-Cata) only to reach Outland and.... there's nothing for them there. Can you imagine Burning Crusade without those two races at the forefront of Outland, or the Death Knights (and Knights of the Ebon Blade) missing from Wrath? Well, I can sure imagine Cata without either Worgen or Goblins, and it wouldn't be very different from what we have now at all.
Cata was ambitious, no doubt about it. Reworking the Old World, adding two new races, incorporating new zones/storylines, and hefty rewrites of a lot of the class mechanics were a tall order. And I'm not even counting the things that were left on the cutting room floor, such as releveling (aka grouping with lower level toons), the Path of the Titans, and Arathi Highlands. But the Goblins and Worgen are a lot like the post-Cata Arathi Highlands; they're incomplete.
New races are one of those core features of an expansion that once announced, you can't back out of. While Path of the Titans and some other areas (flying in the BC starting areas) were on the optional side of things, once you say "we're going to have two new playable races!" you can't really backtrack without a sizable portion of the player base revolting. A playable race becomes --by its very nature-- a core feature of an expansion.
The least Blizz could have done is add more Worgen/Goblin content in the expansions to continue the story. They certainly seem to have no trouble doing that with Trolls, so why not with the pride and joy of Cataclysm?

Excellent point(s). i don't think i've heard anyone mention this before and i'm not sure why.ReplyDelete
looking back i think these issues and the similar issue with the undead were the breaking point for me with cata. the 80-85 zones were nice enough the first time, but i couldn't bear playing through all the same stuff again since so much of it is "hidden" until you do X number of quests. being an altoholic, i was really looking forward to the revamped old world and the new races. so, i played both a worgen and goblin through their starter areas and like you say, at some point you just hit a dead end, in typical warcraft fashion. same with the undead. i thoroughly enjoyed rolling my first undead toon through the first 3 zones only to come to a screeching halt in Arathi Highlands. so, for me, these were much bigger issues than any of the talk lately about difficulty and endgame.
i sincerely hope that SWTOR delivers on its promise of making story count again and maybe start a new trend in mmos.
@Nobody-- Honestly, I'm not sure why you haven't heard more about it either. I get the sinking feeling that the post-Cata Old World is about 75% finished, and that includes the need to revamp the Sindorei and Draenei starting zones beyond little more than reworking the intro speech.ReplyDelete
There are days when I think that Blizz rushed Cata out the door. Not from any bugs, mind you, but from the unfinished feel of many zones: Alterac (now part of Hillsbrad), Duskwallow Marsh, Silithus, Arathi Highlands, and the BC starting zones.

Bedford Blues v Llanelli
It took a while to come but the monkey has finally been booted into touch as Bedford Blues recorded their first win of the season against a very resilient Llanelli side in the British & Irish Cup.
It was Ladies Day at Goldington Road with 2603 fans in attendance and tries from Charlie Clare, Ollie Dodge, Mike Le Bourgeois, Mike Howard and Neville Edwards ensured a bonus point win for the crowd.
Despite dominating huge chunks of the game, Llanelli kept on sneaking their way back into it but their late rally was a little too late to spoil the Bedford party.
Fly half Josh Lewis opened the scoring for the visitors despite the Welsh side barely touching the ball in the opening four minutes. Bedford – playing in pink for the opening 40 - were keeping possession and inching their way forwards but then gave away a soft penalty for coming in at the side of a ruck.
It mattered not four minutes later though when the Pinks pack put in a huge surge close to the Llanelli line. A lineout was collected and a drive almost took off but as it stalled a series of pick-and-go rucks followed with young hooker Clare popping over the line to score and James Pritchard dispatched the conversion.
It went from good to great in the 11th minute when the Pinks pulled off a superb training ground move to score try number two. The ball went through Luke Baldwin and Jake Sharp to Mark Atkinson but with Dodge coming off his wing and galloping through the middle, Atkinson offloaded and Dodge went under the posts with Pritchard converting.
Llanelli weren't to be outdone though and their prolific winger Aaron Warren got the first of his two tries in the afternoon on the 26 minute mark. Bedford had continued to push forward but Llanelli managed to scramble the ball out to the left and as the Pinks lost concentration for a moment, the speedster made them pay by running clear and giving Lewis an easy conversion to make it 14-10.
Many people will remember Le Bourgeois taking an earth-thundering hit from Northampton Saints Courtney Lawes in pre-season – well today he got his own back. Llanelli second row Llewellyn Jones made a fantastic break and had the slope on his side as he hurtled forward but Booj made up ground and put in a hit that received a deserved 'ooooooh' from the Eagle Stand before rapturous applause.
The half ended on the back foot for Bedford as first Pritchard and then Darren Fox were yellow carded for a deliberate knock on and a foot trip respectively but the Pinks defence held firm and the half finished with a Sharp penalty that was pulled just wide of the sticks.
Bedford came out for the second half in their blue strip after the ref and squads agreed that there wasn't a lot of difference between the pink and red strips worn during the first 40 minutes. Bedford capitalised on some early possession with another storming try and again Atkinson was the creator. Spotting men out wide he sent a long pass, with a bounce, to Dodge who then popped the ball up and into the arms of Le Bourgeois who dotted down but Sharp couldn't convert.
Although 19-10 looked good 24-10 was better when Howard scored in the 56th minute. Back to full strength, the Blues were enjoying plenty of ball and when Sharp spotted a gapping great hole, he was straight through it before passing to Pritchard who, unselfishly, offloaded to Howard who smashed his way over but the extras weren't converted.
Everything looked comfortable for Bedford but they were undone when Llanelli decided to have a run straight up the middle of the park. Everyone was a little surprised to see hooker Darran Harris as the supporting runner but he had enough in the tank to see off the covering Pritchard and score next to the uprights with Lewis converting easily.
Bedford put the game to bed in the 71st minute though and it was a deserved try for winger Edwards who had replaced Atkinson 15 minutes earlier. Many of the crowd were fuming that a late tackle on Pritchard had gone unpunished after he chipped ahead, but Bedford retained possession, played it over to the left wing and with men to spare, Edwards darted over before giving the score the dive it deserved. No conversion though.
With time ticking away and five points secured, the foot perhaps dropped off the gas a little as Llanelli got a consolation. Some swift handling saw the Welsh side break down the left flank before Aaron Warren curved his run to score under the sticks with replacement Johnny Lewis converting. Final score 29-24.

Comedy rules box office: 'Proposal' scores big, 'Hangover' still chugging
Comedy, whether it's romantic or raunchy, innocent or goofy, is on a roll at the the box office and helped end a three-week mini-slump for the industry.
Thanks to the surprising strength of Disney's "The Proposal" and the solid opening of Sony's "Year One," this weekend's box office was up almost 3% over the same weekend a year ago. That ended three weekends of negative results in comparison to last June. And with "Transformers" and the latest "Harry Potter" on the way, box-office watchers can put away the Advil for now.
It wasn't just the new comedies driving attendance this weekend. "The Hangover" is still packing a punch for Warner Bros. three weeks after it opened, taking in $26.9 million, according to Hollywood.com. Disney/Pixar's "Up" raked in another $21.3 million, and with $224.1 million total box office, it already has passed "Wall-E" in U.S. box office in just four weeks.
"Comedy is on an extreme roll," said Chuck Viane, president of distribution for Walt Disney Studios. Unless, of course, you used to work on "Saturday Night Live." Eddie Murphy's "Imagine That" took in only $3.1 million for Paramount in its second weekend while Will Ferrell's "Land of the Lost" pulled in just $4 million for Universal Pictures in its third week of release.
Viane said the $34.1 million that "The Proposal" earned was, to put it mildly, a surprise. "We never expected to double the best Sandra Bullock movie ever ["Premonition"]. Most industry estimates for the movie, which also may move Bullock's costar Ryan Reynolds into leading-man status, had it opening in the mid-$20-million range.
As expected, the audience for "The Proposal" was mostly female. But Viane said he expected that to change in the weeks ahead. "More and more guys are hearing how funny it is and are going along for the ride."
The other big comedy premiere, Sony's "Year One," starring Jack Black and Michael Cera as odd-couple cavemen, did a respectable $20.2 million, which was in line with industry projections. Rory Bruer, president of worldwide distribution at Sony Pictures Entertainment, said he was surprised that 53% of the audience for "Year One" was over 21. "We thought it would play much younger than it did," he said, adding that $20.2 million is "a good start for us and in the range we were expecting."
Here are the top 10 films at the domestic box office this weekend, according to studio estimates and Hollywood.com:
1. "The Proposal" (Disney): Opened to $34.1 million.
2. "The Hangover" (Warner Bros./Legendary): $26.9 million, down only 18%. Domestic total: $152.9 million.
3. "Up" (Disney/Pixar): $21.3, off just 31%. Domestic total: $224.1 million
4. "Year One" (Sony/Columbia Pictures): Opened to $20.2 million
5."Taking of Pelham 123" (Sony/Columbia Pictures): $11.3 million, a 52% drop from its opening weekend. Domestic total: $43.3 million.
6. "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian" (Fox): $7.3 million, down 24%. Domestic total: $156 million.
7. "Star Trek" (Paramount/Spyglass): $4.7 million, down 14%. Domestic total: $239.4 million.
8. "Land of the Lost" (Universal): $4 million, down 56%. Domestic total: $43.7 million.
9. "Imagine That" (Paramount): $3.1 million, down 44%. Domestic total: $11.3 million.
10. "Terminator: Salvation" (Warner Bros./Halcyon): $3.1 million, down 36%. Domestic total: $119.5 million.

Correction: Argentina-Economy story
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — In a story Feb. 13 about the Argentine government's report that consumer prices rose 3.7 percent in January, The Associated Press miscalculated the equivalent annual inflation rate as 44 percent. Annual inflation compounds monthly inflation, so if Argentine prices were to continue rising at this rate throughout 2014, the annual rate would be 55 percent.
A corrected version of the story is below:
Believe it, or not: New Argentine inflation index
Believe it, or not: Argentina unveils new inflation index aimed at stabilizing economy
By ALMUDENA CALATRAVA
Associated Press
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Believe it, or not? That's the question of the day in Argentina, where the credibility of a new consumer price index unveiled Thursday is key to containing inflation and attracting investment from a world that has lost confidence in the government's numbers.
The new index's first monthly report said consumer prices rose 3.7 percent in January compared to the month before. That's 55 percent on an annual basis, and roughly four times the rate Argentina reported nearly every month for the previous seven years.
Since January 2007, the government systematically underestimated inflation and thus overestimated economic growth, critics said. Even close government allies abandoned the official data, demanding 2014 pay raises of more than 30 percent to keep up with inflation officially estimated at just 10 percent a year.
The new index was designed in consultation with the International Monetary Fund, which shamed the government last year by refusing to include its economic data in global reports.
Many Argentines also have lost faith, feeding inflation and capital flight by trading their pesos for dollars as fast as they can. Last month's sudden 20 percent currency devaluation also sent inflationary shocks through the entire supply chain, making it difficult for businesses and customers to know what a fair price is anymore.
"The worst thing the government did was intervene in the statistics institute. It's like breaking a thermometer; you never know if you have a fever. Now they're putting out a new index. It will have a cloud of doubts over its validity," university professor Elida Repetto, 53, said as she bought vegetables.
By recognizing more of the true costs of living in Argentina, Thursday's first report was a good start toward stabilizing the economy, said Matias Carugati, chief economist at the Management & Fit consultancy in Buenos Aires.
"This is the government's silver bullet to begin to take a more rational path and combat this evil," Carugati said.
The old index almost always reported monthly inflation at less than 1 percent after political appointees changed the methodology of the National Institute of Statistics and Census.
Since then, actual prices rose somewhere between 70 and 140 percent higher than the government acknowledged, said Alberto Ramos, an economist with Goldman Sachs.
Private economists responded to the lack of information by making their own estimates, which were combined and reported by minority lawmakers in Congress. Their latest guess was 4.6 percent for January, one of the highest inflation rates in the world.
Argentina has seen dangerous protests in recent months as its unions prepare for annual negotiations over pay hikes. Uprisings by provincial police officers provoked deadly looting in December before governors, complaining of guns at their heads, agreed to budget-busting increases. Street demonstrations over inflation routinely complicate life in the capital.
With annual salary talks beginning for nearly 1,000 sectors of the economy, having reliable data "would really organize the discussion and tamp down inflationary expectations," said economist Dante Sica, who directs the abeceb.com consultancy in Buenos Aires.
The new index will track prices on a basket of 520 goods and services, including food, drinks, clothing, housing, appliances, health care, transportation, communication, recreation and education. Unlike the old one, which measured prices in metropolitan Buenos Aires, the new index aims to cover 200,000 prices across the nation.
The changes will be useless if the data comes from price-controlled products sold at places few consumers have access to, Sica warned.
Economy Minister Axel Kicillof announced that the new methodology would quickly be made public, but many were skeptical.
"Will it be scientific enough to appease the concerns from the IMF?" asked Alberto Bernal, head of research at BullTick Capital Markets in Miami.
"What the world wants to see is some certainty of how prices are measured," Bernal told the AP. "The whole point is that index needs to be credible. If nobody knows what the hell is being calculated it will be the stupidest thing ever. All the back and forth with IMF would be lost."
Far from praising the new index, IMF spokesman Gerry Rice simply said "we take note" of it in a brief statement Thursday. The agency also wants Argentina to revise its GDP numbers, by no later than the end of March.
IMF acceptance of this data is an essential step toward resolving Argentina's unpaid debts, including about $10 billion owed to the Paris Club of lending nations, which includes the United States.
Fernandez blamed market forces for betting that an economic collapse would blow away her government. Such forces have beaten Argentina before, she said: "They have blown away jobs, blown away illusions, blown away hope, blown away businesses and blown away the savings of the Argentines, which they kept for themselves."
"I'm not going to be blown away, because I'm not a witch," she joked.
Associated Press Writers Michael Warren in Buenos Aires and Luis Andres Henao in Santiago, Chile, contributed to this report.

I'm looking forward to reading the new book, The Bond: Our Kinship to Animals, Our Call to Defend Them, by Wayne Parcelle, the President of the Humane Society of United States. Whether you're a fan of the organization or not, there will be things here that you can learn about the general state of animal welfare and cruelty, and how we can contribute to make it a kinder world for animals and humans alike. See except below:
"As harsh as nature is for animals, cruelty comes only from human hands. We are the creature of conscience, aware of the wrongs we do and fully capable of making things right. Our best instincts will always tend in that direction, because there is a bond with animals that's built into every one of us. That bond of kinship and fellow-feeling has been with us through the entire arc of human experience—from our first bare-footed steps on the planet through the era of the domestication of animals and into the modern age. For all that sets humanity apart, animals remain "our companions in Creation," to borrow a phrase from Pope Benedict XVI, bound up with us in the story of life on earth. Every act of callousness toward an animal is a betrayal of that bond. In every act of kindness we keep faith with the bond. And broadly speaking, the whole mission of the animal welfare cause is to repair the bond—for their sake and for our own.
In our day, there are stresses and fractures of the human-animal bond, and some forces at work that would sever it once and for all. They pull us in the wrong direction and away from the decent and honorable code that makes us care for creatures who are entirely at our mercy. Especially within the last 200 years, we've come to apply an industrial mindset to the use of animals, too often viewing them as if they were nothing but articles of commerce, the raw material of science, or mere obstacles in the path of our own progress. Here, as in other pursuits, human ingenuity has a way of outrunning human conscience, and some things we do only because we can—forgetting to ask whether we should."

We are still accepting pledges in exchange for rewards. The money being raised on Kickstarter is just a portion of what is needed to produce this film, so we could really use your continued contributions. Thank you.
BONUS: all contributors over $30 will receive a Film Postcard in addition to selected reward. Thank you.
What is the project?
In 1976 Danish Filmmaker Jorgen Leth made the legendary sports and cycling film, A Sunday in Hell, about the Paris Roubaix cycling race. It defined a genre and helped put the Paris-Roubaix on the global sporting map. Leth now comments on the race for television.
We plan to follow Leth as he prepares for and comments on the race. We'll be with him from his hotel in Paris until the end of the race at the Roubaix Velodrome. Along the way our team of photographers and filmmakers will shoot footage of the race, crowds and Leth himself caught up in the excitement of sport. We'll capture the intense effort of contemporary pro racers, and will be sure to include stars from cycling's past.
The Commentator will screen all over the world as part of the Bicycle Film Festival programming.
Why are we making this film?
We all have deep respect for Jorgen and are great fans of his work. We've had the idea for this film for a while, but have just this year decided to set things in motion to make it happen.
Everyone on the crew has their own connection to Jorgen, some have worked with him others are friends and still others are great admirers of his work.
A Sunday in Hell changed not just the way sports documentaries are filmed, but the very nature of sports coverage. It painstakingly documents the sometimes-brutal sport of cycling on one if its most historic and challenging courses.
Leth essentially created a blueprint for cycling coverage that lives on to this day.
We take inspiration from Leth's work and hope to discover more about the grueling Paris-Roubaix.
What will the contribution be used for?
The $27,000 we're asking for is going almost entirely to production. The funds will fly our team of filmmakers, photographers and technicians to France and cover their equipment, incidentals and accommodations while filming the race. Any extra funding will be used for post-production and prize materials associated with the kick-starter campaign.
Who are we?
We are fortunate to have assembled an amazing and accomplished crew for this project.
Albert Maysles: Is an acclaimed, Oscar nominated documentary filmmaker, and one of the early creators of the "Direct Cinema" movement in documentary filmmaking. Albert has directed over 40 films and worked as a cinematographer on countless others. His notable films include; Grey Gardens, Gimme Shelter and The Salesman. Albert is our cinematographer and will follow and shoot Jorgen.
Stefan Ruiz: Is the former creative director for Colors Magazine. Ruiz is an accomplished commercial and fine art photographer and has photographed everything from presidents and rock stars to high profile ad campaigns.
Brian Vernor: Is a photographer and filmmaker who has defined the aesthetic of contemporary cycling with his films Where Are You Go? and Cyclocross Meeting. Vernor shoots for Outside Magazine, Bicycling Magazine, Rapha and his own Makers series.
Patrick Trefz: Is a filmmaker and photographer known for his commercial work and is considered one of the most influential photographers and filmmakers in the surfing world.
Laura Coxson: Has produced numerous films with Albert Maysles including Muhammed and Larry and The Love We Make.
Blonde Redhead: Legendary New York rock band Blonde Redhead will score our film.
Director, Brendt Barbur began the Bicycle Film Festival 12 years ago after being hit by a bus while riding in New York City. Undeterred, he set out to turn a bad experience into a positive one and founded an event that celebrates the bicycle through art, music and film. Since then he's curated art shows, produced films and put on over 150 festivals worldwide. Barbur's efforts have been recognized in profiles and interviews by MTV, BBC, The Wall Street Journal, Interview, GQ, Nowness and more.

With depth issues on the interior of the defensive line, the Raiders signed defensive tackle Myles Wade, according to a tweet from the agency that represents him.
Symmetry said on @symmetry reps: "Congratulations to DT client Myles Wade, who moments ago signed on with the Oakland Raiders . . . Best of luck to Myles.''
UPDATE: The Raiders have confirmed the addition of Wade.
Oakland has been without projected starting tackle Pat Sims since the start of training camp with an undisclosed injury. During Tuesday's practice, both Vance Walker and rookie Stacy McGee left with injuries. Walker is also projected to start.
Brandon Bair, who can play both end and tackle, has also been a spectator during the last two practices, as has nose tackle Johnny Jones.
If none of those players are able to return to practice Thursday after a player's day off, that leaves the Raiders with second-year man Christo Bilukidi and undrafted rookie free agent Kurt Taufa'asau.
Wade, 6-foot-1 and 300 pounds out of Portland State, spent time with the Seattle Seahawks last season but did not see game action and has also been in camp with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Conveyancing guide
- Moving house is not that simple!
- There are two stages to your Conveyancing
- Why are there two stages?
- All right, but does it have to take this long?
- By the time you read this, you may have accepted an offer for your house or flat, or made an offer on a new home. You might even have agreed your new mortgage 'in principle'. You may be told that you're 'ready to go' and that there will now be a few weeks' 'hold-up' while the lawyers deal with the 'conveyancing'.
- In this article we hope to explain exactly what conveyancing involves. (Conveyancing is the legal work relating to buying and selling houses and flats). It may be very helpful if you read it now, and look at it again if there is something you are unsure about. It may well answer your question, but if not then please get in touch with us. This article also explains the conveyancing work your Solicitors do, and (therefore) what you are paying for. We will usually do legal work beyond the work covered by this article. This could of course involve further costs, but wherever possible we would agree these with you first.
The first stage, from when an offer is accepted, up to EXCHANGE OF CONTRACTS.Before exchange of Contracts, the seller or buyer can try to re-negotiate the price, sell to someone else, buy a different property, or just decide not to sell or buy at all. Each seller or buyer is responsible for paying their own survey, legal or other fees. So if, for example, the owner of the house you want to buy changes his/her mind before exchange of contracts, you have no legal right to claim from him/her the cost of (for instance) the survey that you had done, or your conveyancing fees.
The second stage, from EXCHANGE OF CONTRACTS to moving day, called COMPLETION.Once Contracts have been exchanged, both seller and buyer are legally committed to the sale and/or purchase, the price is fixed, and the completion (moving) date is fixed. If seller or buyer then tries to change the terms of the deal without the agreement of the other party, then they are in breach of the conveyancing Contract and can face expensive legal action.
- These two stages are useful because you may discover all sorts of disadvantages after first seeing the property, which cause you to think again, and before exchange of contracts you can pull out without legal consequences. For example
- Your survey might reveal that the charming 17th century cottage you want to buy is riddled with damp, woodworm and subsidence and about to fall down at any minute.
- We might find out that the local authority are planning to build a new road which will go straight through the garden of the property you want.
- We may find that the accessway to the property you want is in fact owned by someone else, who doesn't want anyone else crossing it!
If anything like this happens, then all you have to do is to tell the Estate Agents that you've changed your mind.
- NO! IF you have no property to sell yourself AND you're not having a mortgage AND you don't care whether the property is structurally sound or not AND you don't object to the Council constructing a bypass through the garden AND you don't mind if the house gets sold AFTER you buy it because the previous owner owed money................then almost the whole process can be ignored and you can move the same day IF, that is, the owner doesn't mind. The usual cause of delay is what is called the conveyancing 'chain'. In order for you to exchange Contracts, your seller and/or buyer must also exchange Contracts, so must THEIR seller and/or buyer and THEIR seller and/or buyer......and so on. This is the 'chain'. And like all chains, the house-moving chain is only as strong (or fast) as its weakest (or slowest) link. So if anyone in your chain hasn't got a mortgage offer yet, or disappears on holiday for two weeks, or needs to wait to get paid before having their survey done, then the whole conveyancing chain - which includes you - is slowed down. The more people in a chain, the more things there are to be done, and the more chance there is of a hold-up.
- The legal conveyancing work your Solicitor does, does not involve any checks on the structural state of the property. Houses and flats, like almost any other second-hand item, are 'sold as seen', it is up to the buyer to ask questions and make checks before buying, and it is difficult to make any claim afterwards. The only way to check properly the condition of the property is to have a survey carried out. We recommend that you always have a full structural survey, and get quotes for any work that the surveyor recommends. This may cost you a few hundred pounds, but a structural problem could easily cost you several thousand (perhaps even tens of thousands), so this is money wisely spent.
- DO NOT rely on
- your lender's survey. Firstly, it is NOT a true survey - it is a valuation, and is only done to check that the property is enough security for the amount you want to borrow (NOT what it is worth). Secondly, it is done for the lender and not you, so the surveyor who does it is only answerable to the lender. ((S)he may, however, be able to carry out a separate survey for you while (s)he is at the property. Ask)
- anything the owner says. There may be defects that the owner does not know about, or might want to gloss over.
- Most surveys seem very worrying the first time you read them. Remember that the surveyor's job is to be thorough and point out every defect. At the end of the survey, the surveyor will state what sort of general condition the property is in, and whether the price is reasonable. Read that first!
- The survey may state that some work needs to be done. No property, especially an older one, will be in absolutely perfect condition, but if the required work will cost more than a few hundred pounds, then you may have a good reason to ask for a price reduction. Speak to the Estate Agent about this.
- If the result of the survey is really bad then you may not be able to obtain a mortgage on the property. Even if you can afford to pay cash, remember that it may be difficult to sell.
- There are many different kinds of mortgages available. We do not give mortgage advice - this is a job for a financial adviser. Please bear in mind that many financial advisers have arrangements with only one company and only recommend that company's products. You may prefer to consult an independent adviser. What you need is a written mortgage offer. Agreeing a loan 'in principle' is not enough.
- Your lender will have to:-
- have their surveyor check the property (see Survey)
- usually obtain written confirmation of your income
- check that you're not seriously in debt
- This process can take a few days or several weeks. If you think that it is taking too long, speak to your lender, or whoever is arranging your mortgage. We do not usually have any contact with your lender until they issue the written offer. When you receive the written offer, you may need to accept it, by signing one copy and returning it to the lender. If you haven't already done so, make sure that you will have enough money to complete your purchase (and any sale) - do not forget stamp duty and all the other conveyancing costs, estate agents' fees, and removal expenses. Please read the mortgage offer carefully - quite often, various amounts are taken off the loan before the lender actually pays it over to us, so the amount we receive is often less than the full amount of the loan (on which you will be paying interest). The most usual deductions are usually the first year's household insurance, the first month's interest, a 'high loan to value' fee or a retention. Remember to take these deductions into account in your financial calculations. When the mortgage offer is issued, your lender will send details of it to their Solicitors and ask them to do their conveyancing work. Usually, your lender will ask us to do the conveyancing work for them, which makes sense, because it is the same kind of legal work as we do for you. Some lenders insist on using their own separate Solicitors - this costs you money (because your lender will expect you to pay their Solicitors' bill) and tends to slow the conveyancing process down, because we have to deal with your lender's Solicitors as well as the seller's Solicitors.
Before exchange of contracts
On Your Sale On your Purchase Prepare the legal paperwork or a Home Information Pack (HIP) (if this has not already been done) Receive the draft Contract, HIP (if needed) and other legal documents from the seller's Solicitors Prepare and send the draft contract, HIP (if needed) and any other legal documents to the buyer's Solicitors For non-HIP properties, make the preliminary searches, check them when received and ask any questions Answer any other questions asked by the buyer's Solicitors - we may need your help Check the legal paperwork and ask any questions. Receive one copy of the Contract back from the buyer's solicitors Receive and check the replies to any questions asked on the legal paperwork Receive and check details of your mortgage from your lender Agree with you any unusual provision regarding the deposit Agree the amount of the deposit and obtain this from you (if necessary), and clear it through our account Have you sign the sale Contract Report to you on all the legal aspects, enclosing the Contract and other documents for signing, pointing out any unusual matters, and receive the signed documents back from you Agree a completion date Agree a completion date Exchange Contracts Exchange Contracts
After exchange of contracts
On Your Sale On your Purchase Get repayment figure from your Building Society or Bank and details of commission from your Estate Agent Make sure the property is insured Have you sign the Transfer Deed (if not already done) Make further searches against the title and against you (see below) Have you sign the Mortgage Deed and obtain any funds required from you (we may well have done this before exchange) Prepare the Transfer Deed for the seller to sign (we usually do this before exchange) Request the mortgage money from your lender (this needs to be done in writing) Receive the sale money and complete the sale Pay the purchase money and complete the purchase Send Deeds to buyer's solicitors Pay the stamp duty, receive the stamp duty certificate and register the Deeds Pay off your old mortgage and pay the Estate Agents fees Complete the paperwork on any Life Policies Pay any balance to you Send the Deeds to you or your lender
- If you have no mortgage, please arrange to let us have the Deeds as soon as possible. If they are with someone else, for example your Bank or another firm of Solicitors, they will need your written permission (not ours) before they send them to us. If you have a mortgage please let us have the lender's name and address, and the account number (this is important) as soon as possible. Your buyer's Solicitors will need various information about the property, so we shall send you some conveyancing forms containing some questions about the property, for you to fill in and return to us. These forms are part of the legal paperwork on your sale. Please read them carefully. If you do not know the answer, you can simply write 'don't know'. Occasionally we are asked to send Contracts to two or more buyers at once. If more than one person is interested, it is generally best to decide who is the 'better bet', and proceed with one buyer at a time. If we do send out more than one Contract at once, we are required by the Law Society to tell all the buyers' Solicitors that this is what we are doing.
- Your buyer's Solicitors will check the legal paperwork, and may ask some more questions of their own. If they do, then we may need your help to answer them. One area in conveyancing which can cause difficulties is agreeing what fixtures and fittings are to be left or taken. Anything which is fixed to the property, and could really be considered to be part of the property, is a fixture, and the buyer is entitled to assume that it will be left at the property, unless you state clearly that you will be removing it. If you remove a fixture without saying so before exchange of Contracts, or without the buyer's permission, you are probably in breach of the conveyancing Contract. If your property is leasehold (a flat or maisonette) we will need an up-to-date copy of your buildings insurance policy, and details of your ground rent payments and any service charges you have paid, including copies of the last few years' accounts. If you do not have these, we can obtain them from the freeholder or managing agents, but this may take a little while.
- When we send the conveyancing paperwork to the buyer's Solicitors, we send two copies of the draft Contract. The buyer's Solicitors will make any amendments they think are necessary, and then they return one copy to us. If we accept their amendments we shall then send the Contract to you for signing.
- It may take a short period of time for us to receive the legal paperwork from the seller's Solicitors, because (like us) they have to obtain the Deeds to the property you are buying before they can prepare the papers.
- The preliminary searches on the property you are buying are made by us. (When HIPs come into full force the seller's solicitors will make them, but they will still be checked by the buyer's solicitor). We will tell you the amount of all the preliminary conveyancing searches and how much we need from you in order to start them. We ask you to pay this 'up front' rather than pay it ourselves because it helps us to keep our legal fees lower. The local authority search will show;
- Planning matters which can be enforced against the owner, such as tree preservation orders, compulsory purchase orders or listed building orders. If the property is in an urban area there may be a smoke control order, making it compulsory to burn only smokeless fuel.
- Whether the road outside the property is maintained by the local authority or privately, and usually the same information about the drains.
- Whether any road building or widening proposals affect the property.
- Planning applications made in respect of the property, and the results.
- an environmental search
- a chancel repair search
- a mining search
- whether the area where the property is, is listed as contaminated land
- whether the area is at risk from flooding, shallow mining, radon gas, coal mining or natural subsidence
- whether there is any history of industrial land use, landfill sites, waste treatment sites, fuel stations, or pollution incidents in the area
- If, when we check any of the conveyancing paperwork, we consider that there is a serious problem, we will let you know immediately. (If we find that the title to the property you want to buy is still unregistered, this is not a serious problem, but we may have to charge additional conveyancing fees, which we will agree with you first. At this stage it may help if we quickly explain the difference between registered and unregistered land. Until 1925 all land in England and Wales was unregistered. If land is unregistered, then the only way to check whether the seller really owns the land (and so is entitled to sell it to you!) is to examine all the Deeds for (at least) the last fifteen years. However, it is often necessary to go back much further than that, and the process can be very complicated and time-consuming. At the beginning of this century the Government set up a Land Register, which will eventually show who owns all the land in England and Wales, together with all rights or obligations affecting each piece of land. Since 1990 it has been compulsory for all unregistered properties in England and Wales to be registered as soon as they are sold. What this means is that the title to registered land is guaranteed by the Government, and this makes a conveyancer's job less time-consuming.)
- The conveyancing Property Information Forms are sent to us by the seller's Solicitors. These deal with such things as
- Who is responsible for the boundaries
- Neighbour disputes
- Whether any alterations have been carried out (they might require planning or building or other consent)
- Which fixtures and fittings will be left or removed
You should ask us about anything that particularly concerns you. If you are moving to a new area, it is a good idea to have the local papers sent to you to see whether there are any local issues you might want to ask about.
- When the conveyancing paperwork has been received and checked, we will report to you on it in writing, and enclose the contract and other documents for you to sign.
- It may be that, at some point, your seller or buyer will decide not to sell or buy. If this happens, there is nothing that you can do about it, apart from trying to persuade him/her to change his/her mind. As we said before, under English law, before exchange of Contracts the seller or buyer can call the deal off at any time without giving any reason. This is a risk you cannot avoid. The person who pulls out is not under any legal obligation to pay anyone else's conveyancing fees. Your time and energy will generally be better spent finding another buyer or looking for another home.
- If you are buying a property with someone else, you need to consider what should happen if your partner dies, and what should happen to the money in the property if and when you eventually sell. There are two ways in which co-owned property can be held - the legal conveyancing terms are Joint Tenancy or Tenancy in Common (these are legal terms and nothing to do with renting). If you are Joint Tenants and one of you dies, then the property passes to the survivor irrespective of what anyone's Will says. The survivor can sell the property and keep all the money. If you were both to die in the same accident the law says that the younger one died last, so the property would go to the younger partner's family, which might not be what you would want. It is usual for married couples to be Joint Tenants, as this ensures that the survivor can live in the property as long as (s)he wishes to, and that no Inheritance Tax is payable on the transfer from joint names to the survivor's name. However, where a couple have a great deal of money, it can be an advantage for tax reasons to hold the property as Tenants in Common or even in the sole name of one of them. If this aspect concerns you then you should take proper advice from an accountant or financial adviser. Where joint owners are not married, it may be better for the property to be held as Tenants in Common. If one partner then dies, his/her share will pass according to his/her Will, and not automatically to the survivor. Obviously it is important in such cases to make Wills. If Tenants in Common have contributed towards the purchase price of the property unequally, then it is best to set out, in a document, what share belongs to whom. If you are buying property with a partner to whom you are not married, you should consider this aspect carefully before you buy. The courts do not always give unmarried partners the same protection as married ones.
- You will be asked for proof of identity. Under Government regulations we have to see this. We will let you know exactly what we need - we must have it, and we cannot complete without it.
Why does a deposit have to be paid at all?If your buyer does not complete on the date in the Contract, you have the right to sue for breach of contract, claiming compensation for all your losses and expenses. However, if your buyer disappears and cannot be found (and this has happened) this right is of little use to you. Conveyancing Contracts therefore state that on exchange the buyer pays a fairly large deposit, and that if the buyer does not complete, the seller is (in certain circumstances) entitled to keep the deposit, so that the deposit acts as a guarantee that the buyer will complete.
How much deposit will I have to pay?Most Contracts provide for the payment of a 10% deposit, but often a smaller sum, very often 5%, can be agreed. This is usually on condition that if you fail to complete on the agreed date you have to pay the full 10% at that time.
Can I use the deposit that my buyers will pay me?Contracts now allow the seller to use your deposit for his/her own purchase. This does carry the risk that if the seller becomes bankrupt after exchange of Contracts but before completion, you might lose your deposit. In practice, this is not at all common. You are allowed to use the deposit only as a conveyancing deposit for the property you are buying. We cannot send any part of the deposit to you personally before completion unless the buyer particularly agrees to this.
- Standard conveyancing Contracts contain over 100 clauses. Explaining each of them to you would take a very long time and you would probably be none the wiser! You can assume that we have checked the Contract and that it is satisfactory - if there are any particularly unusual parts, we will explain these. The Contract(s) will refer to a 'rate of interest' which will probably be 4 or 5% above the base rate of one of the main banks. If you do not complete on the agreed date, then you have to pay interest to the seller on the price of the property, at this rate, for each day that you are late. If you are selling, and your buyer fails to complete, then (s)he will have to pay you interest, and if you are buying too, then one can be set against the other. We will send you a plan of the property you are buying. Please check that the shape, size and dimensions seem correct to you. You have seen the house and garden - we haven't! A lot of land is subject to what are called 'restrictive covenants'. These set out details of things that you can or cannot do with the property, and if there are any that affect the land, we will send you a copy of these. Please pay particular attention to them if you are planning to do any further building work on the land or property. We shall send you a financial statement, showing
- all money received and required, and what for
- whether we need money from you in order to complete
- This is the date on which the rest of the money is paid and you can move in. It has to be agreed before exchange, as it is written into the Contract(s). It used to be the rule that the time period between exchange and completion was 28 days. It is less than this now, but please assume that we will need 10 working days (2 weeks) as quite often it takes that long to apply for and obtain your mortgage money. It is sometimes possible to exchange and complete on the same day, but it is not a good idea - in theory your seller and/or buyer could pull out on the day you are supposed to be moving! Please do not let yourself be pressured into accepting a completion date that is too early. Non-completion is rare but extremely stressful.
- The exchange of conveyancing Contracts itself is done by us over the telephone and can take a few hours to finish. The procedure is complicated, but it starts with the Solicitor for the person at one end of the chain, who is not selling, and ends with the Solicitor for the person at the other end, who is not buying. As soon as Contracts have been exchanged we will let you know.
- What the Contract says about buildings (fire) insurance can vary. If you are selling, then it is best not to cancel the buildings insurance until completion. If you are buying, then it is best to insure as soon as Contracts have been exchanged. It is much better for the property to be insured twice than not at all (they can catch fire!). If you are having a mortgage then your lender may look after this - check with them. If you are not having a mortgage, you will have to do this yourself.
- There are also one or two legal checks we have to make. If you are having a mortgage, we are required by your lender to check that you have not been made bankrupt. We also make a conveyancing search at the Land Registry to check that nothing has been registered against the title within the last few weeks.
You will have to
- Where necessary, sign the Mortgage deeds and a Transfer deed
- Supply details of any life policies to be used in connection with your mortgage - this is important as your lender may not send the mortgage money without them.
You should also
- Arrange your removals
- Tell the local authority and water board the date on which you are moving out, so that they can bill you to that date, or arrange a refund if you have paid in advance.
- Tell the electricity, gas and telephone authorities that you are moving and arrange for the meters to be read on the completion date.
- Tell everyone else of your change of address (bank, doctor etc.) You are required by law to have the address on your driving licence altered.
- Make arrangements to hand over keys, preferably through the estate agents.
- Your estate agent's bill will be sent to us. Unless you tell us otherwise, we will pay them from the money we receive. We shall also find out what is owing on your mortgage, and must pay this to your lender as soon as we receive money. Our conveyancing fees and other costs are also payable on completion from the money we receive.
- If you are buying and selling, you should aim to be out of your old home by about 12 noon - the Contract actually specifies a time by which you should be out (probably 1pm - 2pm). Nowadays the money is sent by telegraphic transfer between the various Solicitors' banks. If you are selling and buying, then obviously we must have received your sale monies before we can send off the purchase monies. Usually the money will have been sent by midday, but when the system is very busy delays do occur, especially on Fridays. It is better not to rely on being able to move by a particular time, although in practice most people move into their new homes in the early afternoon. We cannot guarantee exactly when any money due to you will be available. Firstly, we cannot be certain of the time it will be received. The CHAPS electronic transfer system, which conveyancing solicitors use, guarantees same day receipt, but does not guarantee any particular time. Secondly, if there is a mortgage on the property you are selling, we need your lender to tell us, once we have repaid the amount they asked for, that your account is clear and closed. This usually takes a few days. We have to do this for technical reasons which we are happy to explain to you if you like.
- Our conveyancing job does not end when you move in. The stamp duty will have to be paid to the Inland Revenue, and they then send us a certificate proving that it has been paid. The Deeds will then have to be sent to the Land Registry to have the previous owner's name removed and yours inserted. This whole process can take several weeks. When the Deeds are returned, we must send them to your lender if you have a mortgage; if there is no mortgage we will send them to you.
- All conveyancing offices tend to be busy, particularly during the summer months. We will always deal with your conveyancing promptly, but contacting us by telephone can sometimes be less easy when time is short. There are a few ways in which you can help us:
- If you have a conveyancing query which does not require a quick answer, please write to us or email us rather than telephone.
- Please try to telephone after 10.00am and before 4.00pm so that incoming and outgoing post can be processed.
- If you telephone for some information, we may need to speak to someone else before we can tell you what you need to know. (That person may also speak to someone else). We will return your call as soon as we can.
- If you would like to see your conveyancing adviser, then we ask you to telephone first and arrange an appointment, as otherwise we may not be available when you come.
- Thank you for using us. If you have been pleased with our service, please tell your friends. If not - please tell us.
