: I have a double sink in my kitchen. When I use the side that is attached to the disposal, water backs up on both sides of the sink. I have to turn on the disposal and eventually the water clears out of both sides. The disposal is turning and it does grind up
: food that is put into it. Is this a disposal problem or is there a snake living in my drain further on down the line? Or...??? I did take apart the trap under the sinks and it was clear as were the pipes going to and from it.

Unleash the cannons Schott. Clemens will get it done. You can open up ur play book now.
Posted 23 January 2007 - 04:56 PM
That's the scary thought. Our offense was pretty effective all season. Just imagine what Lil' Schotty could do with Kellen. Hell he hand picked him. He pretty much created this offense for Kellen Clemens... unfortunately he had to adapt it to fit Chadwick's inability to throw it deep.

Posted 23 January 2007 - 05:19 PM
Listen, don't ruin threads with your garbage. We're already getting sick of people spamming the boards and it's evident that you have a hard-on for BradSmith. It's getting pretty damn old that everytime someone brings up Kellen you come in and trash him because you think that Brad Smith should be the QB of the Jets. News flash: NO ONE ON THE JETS OR IN THE NFL THINKS BRAD SMITH IS A QB.
So do us all a favor and shut the hell up about Brad Smith and your blatantly predictable posts about the situation. It's getting old.... real old.

Posted 23 January 2007 - 05:55 PM
It should be obvious what's going to happen, the same thing that happened in 2002. Like Vinny, Chad will start the season and then will be benched in favor of Kellen. Now if that is next season is debatable. Chad sat on the bench for his first two years and still didn't get the starting job on opening day 2002. Clemens may not be the starter until sometime during the 2008 season. And I think the Jets will sign another QB after the draft or maybe even draft one on day 2.
Basically nobody knows what kind of QB Kellen Clemens will be.
Anyway the team needs a running back before anything else.

So do us all a favor and shut the hell up about Brad Smith and your blatantly predictable posts about the situation. It's getting old.... real old.
Listen with all due respect, BradSmith16 didnt actually say anything about Kellen being a great backup because Brad Smith will be the starter. That is simply a conclusion that you and the previous poster came to. I think we should practice a little restraint when attacking a fellow NYJetsFan member.
That being said, I do not think Kellen will be a starter next season, nor do I think he will start the season after that. He will get his chance some day, but it may not even be with these Jets. The job is currently Chad's to lose and I dont see him making the mistakes it would take to get him yanked out of the starters role.
Not to mention Chad is going to have a full offseason of conditioning, studying and QB work. He didnt have that luxury in recent years. The end result will be an even better Chad in 2007. I am sad to see that so many people have given up on old #10..but I respect all of your opinions. I simply disagree. Especially with the persistent noodle arm references and weak arm arguments. Simple fact of the matter is I think people are taking a fact..and blowing it out of proportion. Does Chad have a weaker arm than Peyton and Brady, yes. Does he have a weaker arm than a number of QBs in this league..possibly. But by no means is his arm weak. It is all relative, but Chad has more than enough arm to get it done. Tell me one route he cannot throw, because there is none...he is a complete QB.

wtf! make or break? hes 31 bro hes already half broken and the league doesnt wait up for anyone, he had his chance this year in foxboro, HE BROKE his rotator cuz and HE CANT MAKE deep throws - theres ur make or break - kellens is mobile, smart, strong armed, and i believe he will pick up the offense, (considering this is the first time in years well be running the same offense in consecutive years) since he studied it one year.... hes the next phillip rivers, the saints gave up on brees and look where it got them a 14-2 record

We've been real patient with people that are on this board to draw attention to themselves by annoying everyone else. EvanstonJet was exibit A. This kid is exibit B. Bottom line is we're cleaning this up because the overall quality has declined and it's because of people like this.
And why are people still bringing up the "How do you know" card? Seriously, the kid has a gun for an arm and he's mobile and I think he was the only one to throw TD's in the preseason... or atleast it seemed. I saw him play. He was pretty good. I like him, he's got more potential than Chad. He can atleast take advantage of a WR's speed. I like Chad as much as the next guy but he's never gotten us anywhere. He's basically, with exception to this season, a poor man's Peyton Manning. He plays OK in the regular season and then shits himself when it matters.
Sometimes you just gotta cut your losses. Chad's 31, his arm is weak, and we drafted a QB in the 2nd round of the playoffs last year who might actually be a great QB. We know what Chad brings us, why don't we see what Clemens can do. Atleast we'd see our WR's production go through the roof.

Couldn't Be Better: The Russian Farm Community Project
A new book, just out! Written by Dr. LaVern Freeh, a native North
Dakotan and graduate of North Dakota State University, Fargo.
The book traces the history of a project in which the author has
been involved in Russia and the joint efforts of U.S. and Russian
people in creating a model for privatizing and revitalizing rural
Russian communities following the collapse of Communism.
The author takes the reader behind the scenes to see how the project
came into being and how it has evolved.
He highlights the role of such prominent Americans as Armand Hammer
and Robert Schuller; the outstanding leadership provided by Ralph
Hofstad, former President and CEO of Land O'Lakes, Inc. and Andrew
Danelinko, Hofstad's counterpart in Russia and the contributions
of many others, Russian and American.
Read about the partnerships which were formed with people, universities,
private organizations and government and how the project has touched
a broad spectrum of people from the young to the elderly. Learn
about the Project's accomplishments and its failures, and the plaudits
it has received.
This book is an outstanding review of what can happen when people
put aside their cultural and nationalistic differences and work
together for the common good of all. Or as Margaret Meade put it,
"never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people
can change the world, indeed it's the only thing that ever has."
"My country can never repay you for what you, the Russian Farm
Community Project, and your supporters are doing to assist our rural
communities at this time of great need . . . but rest assured, we
are most grateful for those efforts and we shall try in every way
possible to demonstrate that your investments in our future, and
yours, are well placed."
"My dream has always been to develop a successful public/private
relationship which will assure the social and economic well-being
of the people in my Raion . . . Through the Russian Farm Community
Project, that dream is being realized."
"The RFCP dairy initiative truly represents a new beginning
for agriculture in this region creating new sources of income, more
jobs and greater opportunities for the people of the Dmitrov Raion
and equally important more critically needed high quality wholesome
milk for the children of the region."
At the request of the author, the proceeds from the sale of
this book will be divided equally between the Russian Farm Community
Project, Minneapolis, Minnesota and Moscow, Russia, and the Germans
from Russia Heritage Collection at the North Dakota State University
Libraries, Fargo, North Dakota.
LaVern Freeh grew up on a farm near Harvey, North Dakota during
the great depression, the son of parents who were called "Germans
from Russia" because their parents, while of German descent, had
lived in South Russia (today southern Ukraine) for a period of time
before immigrating to America.
Freeh served in the Marine Corps following graduation from Harvey
High School; taught in a one-room country school for a year after
returning from the Marines. He attended North Dakota State University
(then called the North Dakota Agricultural College) on a football
scholarship and the GI Bill; taught and coached football at Linton,
North Dakota High School; served as assistant football coach and
instructor at Michigan State University, was a professor and administrator
at the University of Minnesota for 18 years and Vice President for
Public and International Affairs at Land O'Lakes, Inc., a fortune
500 company, for 12 years.
He received his Bachelors of Science Degree from North Dakota
State University and his Masters of Science and PhD. Degrees from
Michigan State University. His career has taken him to 65 countries
and involved him in a broad range of business and economic development
He has received many awards and citations, and has spent time
with world leaders such as Anwar Sadat and Fidel Castro.
In 1968 the Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany honored
him; in 1969 the President of Finland knighted him; in 1977 he received
the Outstanding Alumni Achievement Award from North Dakota State
University; in 1980 he received the Extraordinary Service Award
from the University of Minnesota; and in 1991 he was inducted into
the North Dakota State University Athletic Hall of Fame.
An active participant in the Russian Farm Community Project since
the beginning, he has been involved in various activities in Russia
since the mid-1970s.
Freeh and his wife, Lois, live in California part of the year
and in Minnesota the rest of the year. He is actively engaged in
a broad array of activities as a consultant and speaker/lecturer
at both locations.

Oral Questions
2:50 p.m.
Edmonton—Mill Woods—Beaumont
Mike Lake Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Industry
Mr. Speaker, in 2009 the government did cancel this program because it did not represent the full spectrum of offerings available to consumers. Technical limitations restricted the calculator to voice and text plans and did not include data plans, handset costs, bundling or promotional offers.
The market dynamics contributing to our decision in 2009 continue today. However, we will look for other means to provide consumers with clarity on cellphone costs.
Oral Questions
February 27th, 2012 / 2:50 p.m.
David Wilks Kootenay—Columbia, BC
Mr. Speaker, the protection of all Canadians against violence, especially children, is a continued priority for our government. Today we continued second reading debate on my private member's bill C-299, kidnapping of a young child.
Canadians across the country were shocked when young Kienan Hebert was taken from his home. Thankfully he was returned safely, but the emotional toll this took is incalculable.
My legislation would impose a five year mandatory minimum sentence on strangers convicted of kidnapping a child. Could the minister please inform the House about the government's position on my legislation?
Oral Questions
2:50 p.m.
Niagara Falls
Rob Nicholson Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada
Mr. Speaker, first, I thank the member for Kootenay—Columbia for introducing this important legislation and for all his years protecting Canadians as a member of the RCMP.
The bill would ensure that a stronger, more appropriate penalty would be given to those who kidnap children. The bill also serves as a welcome complement to the safe streets and communities act, which would impose a number of stronger sentences on those who commit sexual offences against children.
I am pleased to report that the government completely supports Bill C-299. I encourage all members to do so as well.
National Defence
Oral Questions
2:50 p.m.
John McKay Scarborough—Guildwood, ON
Mr. Speaker, last week the Minister of National Defence said that Canada would get 65 F-35s for $9 billion. This week Canadian officials are in Washington to discuss problems with these planes. What problems will be discussed: technical problems, waning international confidence or soaring costs? When the U.K. minister was asked in the House of Commons about the soaring costs of the F-35 he said, "The honest answer is we don't know".
Would the minister give this House of Commons a similar honest answer?
National Defence
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Julian Fantino Associate Minister of National Defence
Mr. Speaker, we are always discussing these issues with our allies and partners in the multinational Joint Strike Fighter program. We agreed that it would be beneficial to be updated in person on the progress and challenges of the program. Canada will be hosting this update as soon as March 2. This is the responsible leadership role that we have taken.
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Pierre Nantel Longueuil—Pierre-Boucher, QC
Mr. Speaker, that was very energetic. Last week, 700 employees at the Sandoz drug factory in Boucherville learned that they would have to reduce the factory's output because the U.S. FDA found that the factory's practices were not in compliance with standards. How is it that U.S. authorities discovered problems in the factories that serve the Canadian market?
Instead of letting other countries conclude that our factories do not comply with standards, putting people's health, our jobs, and our drug supply at risk, will the minister tell us her plan to clean up this appalling mess?
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Leona Aglukkaq Minister of Health and Minister of the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency
Mr. Speaker, our government is playing a leadership role when it comes to dealing with drug shortages. We are doing our part to ensure that the information about drug shortages is made available as quickly as possible. We are also working to ensure relevant information and access to safe alternatives is not held up in red tape. If some industry players do not meet their responsibilities in providing information in a timely manner, we will consider all other options.
International Aid
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.

Mr. Speaker, people around the world are expressing concern as the Sahel region continues to experience drought and a deficit in food production. More than 8.8 million people are suffering, having barely any time to recover from the crisis that took place during 2009 and 2010.
Our government took action during the famine in East Africa, fulfilling our responsibilities and assisting those in need. Could the minister for CIDA update the House on the government's response to this crisis?
International Aid
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Bev Oda Minister of International Cooperation
Mr. Speaker, we are concerned with the situation in the Sahel region, a region with some of the worst child mortality levels and acute malnutrition. Over 10 million people are facing a perfect storm: high food prices, extreme poverty and year after year of drought. If we do not act now, they will be facing a severe humanitarian crisis in the coming months. That is why I have announced that Canada is taking action now and is the second largest country to support the people in the Sahel region with food, water, nutrition and health care.

Robert Aubin Trois-Rivières, QC
Mr. Speaker, for some time now, the NDP has been criticizing the deplorable situation that prevails in employment insurance services. Not only have processing times quadrupled, but on top of that, we are receiving more and more complaints from francophones who cannot obtain service in French. Every day this government is demonstrating how little regard it has for Canada's Francophonie.
Is the anglicizing of Service Canada services merely a negative side effect of budget cuts or is it a deliberate attempt to suppress French in Canada?

Diane Finley Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development
Mr. Speaker, that is crazy. We are trying to provide Canadians with the services they need in the official language of their choice. Every Canadian has access to employment insurance services and to every Government of Canada service in the official language of their choice.
41st General Election
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
André Bellavance Richmond—Arthabaska, QC
Mr. Speaker, ever since it was first revealed that fraudulent telephone calls were made during the last election, the Conservatives have been trying to downplay the scandal by alleging that these were isolated incidents. However, the more we look into the situation, the more ridings we find that have been affected and the more it seems that this was a systematic Conservative practice. The situation is also oddly reminiscent of the calls about which the Bloc Québécois complained during the byelection held in Rivière-du-Loup in November 2009.
Given the increasingly serious allegations regarding the existence of an organized system of fraudulent phone calls, is the Prime Minister going to take responsibility and call for an independent public inquiry? If he has nothing to hide, he will do so.

Lake Superior, the largest lake in the U.S., was shaped by glaciers that cut through granite 10,000 years ago.
Lake Superior's inlets offer some of the best canoeing in the U.S.
With its own climate, similar to that of a coastal region, Lake Superior has had its share of legendary shipwrecks and is home to iconic lighthouses.
Even if Denali National Park weren't home to the highest point in the U.S., Mount McKinley, its pristine taiga and mountain lakes would be worth a visit.
Denali National Park is open year-round, but most visitors see it before mid-September, when autumn arrives early here in the far north.
Denali National Park has a Big Five all its own: Look for moose, caribou, wolves, grizzly bears, and Dall sheep.
Death Valley is where you'll find the lowest point in the U.S.—Badwater Basin at 282 feet below sea level.
Summer temperatures in Death Valley are typically well into the 100s, the hottest in the U.S.
Sure, Death Valley is hotter than Lake Havasu City, AZ, but more than 50,000 people actually live here, where the temperature frequently tops 100 degrees.
Lake Havasu is about 150 miles from Las Vegas, and its 45 miles of lakefront attract boaters, anglers, and hikers.
The founder of Lake Havasu City bought London Bridge in 1968 and had it shipped more than 5,000 miles to be reassembled in Arizona.
Faribanks, AK, is the coldest community in the U.S., which is good news for intrepid travelers who want to try their hand at dogsledding.
Temperatures in Fairbanks are routinely below -5, and sometimes dip into the negative 40s.
The Northern Lights draw thousands of visitors to Fairbanks. If you stay three nights between August and April, you have an 80 percent chance of a clear view of the aurora, which is reaching a peak in 2013 due to sunspot activity.
The easternmost point in the U.S.? No, it's not the Maine Coast, but St. Croix, in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
You can enjoy the beach, resort comfort, and old-world architecture in St. Croix.
American Samoa, which is west of French Polynesia in the South Pacific, is a good place to find empty white sand beaches.
Think your town has pedigree? Sky City, NM (formerly Acoma), has had a Native American community here since 1150.
Visitors to Sky City, NM, can explore its pueblo past with guided tours.
Times Square earned its nickname "The Crossroads of the World" because of New York City's position as the biggest American city, with more than 8 million residents.
New York wasn't always the nation's biggest city. The construction of the Erie Canal in the 19th century helped rocket the city to the economic preeminence it enjoys to this day.
This time of year, there's no better way to enjoy the Big Apple than to lace up at one of its many public skating rinks, like the one at Rockefeller Center.
Yeah, it doesn't get any smaller than Buford, WY, home to one man, who operates a gas station and convenience store off Interstate 80 between Laramie and Cheyenne.
Virginia is the birthplace of more presidents—eight—than any other state. Its place in American history is secure, with destinations like Colonial Williamsburg drawing visitors from around the world.
Historic Richmond, home to the state capitol, is just one of Virginia's dozens of noteworthy sites.
Memphis, TN, is one of the sights along the nation's biggest river, the Mississippi.
The mighty Mississippi originates in Minnesota, above, and travels more than 2,000 miles to the Gulf of Mexico.

Hey Fellas!! Bakuman 154 is out....Enjoy!!!!!
Nice Chapter and I like the fact that they will be competing with Eiji in jump with Reversi but will PCP be Okay?
Reversi Vs Zombie Gun is the Sh*t
Emo Hatori....Excellent
Okay Chapter
PCP is doomed
Hey Fellas!! Bakuman 154 is out....Enjoy!!!!!
Nice Chapter and I like the fact that they will be competing with Eiji in jump with Reversi but will PCP be Okay?

Great chapter.
Kind of saw this outcome coming. Though I thought that Hattori and the new editor for Reversi would be dual editors of it.
Manga reading list: Bleach, Naruto, Katekyo Hitman Reborn, One Piece, Code Breaker, Gamaran, Kuroko No Basket, Fairy Tail, The World God Only Knows, Kimi No Iru Machi, Good Ending, Medaka Box, Nisekoi, D.Gray-Man, Ao No Exorcist, Freezing, Magi - Labyrinth of Magic, Soul Eater, Rosario Vampire Season II, Iris Zero, Ubell Blatt, Bloody Cross, Sun-Ken Rock, and Infinite Stratos,
The last chapter actually had me brooding over the fact that Eiji and Muto cant compete in the same manga with their new pieces but I think I like this outcome better.
__________________________________________________ __________________________

Woohoo!! I actually read this chapter within 5 minutes of it's release and I was waiting on edge for this thread to start so I can vote!! I am loving the latest developments. Finally Hattori stopped being all 'no it's all good and well' and did something just a tiny bit for his own good. When I read this chapter know what I saw? I saw Azuka and Mashiro getting married. Because Reversi can and WILL become an anime! =D
I saw the option on the poll 'PCP is doomed'. Yes, yes it is, and I couldn't be happier. It was a pointless series that they kinda knew would never become an anime from day one. I'm glad it's gone. And while DGM completely fails me on one end, Bakuman is delivering the best!
I see the start of an addiction! Oh boy, this is gonna be a good one.
PCP being released monthly means more time to give a good story with more pages at the same time concentrating on the new serialisation....me like it.
__________________________________________________ __________________________

This manga never disappoints.
PCP will end prematurely, but I agree that Reversi should be in the weekly jump. I think Eiji said that plan of switching it up subliminally to his editor.
Last edited by guy; 11-08-2011 at 10:17 PM. Reason: .. what premature accident?
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
Spoiler!Just go through and look at Hattori's facial expressions the whole way through. You knew it was going to be something else.
Though kookily, in the japanese text "PCP" and "Reversi" are both in English, so I was able to pick out them constantly batting those words back and forth.
It is the best solution overall, PCP being a mystery series, as a monthly will give them more space to set up mysteries and traps in it, and stew on interesting ideas, it'll be served better by a longer page count in a single installment, and it'll give the new magazine a flagship established title to run.
Meanwhile, Reversi competes head on with Eiji and gets both authors to up their game, and Hattori stays as editor. And that's all good, but...
I can't help but feel its a little cheap. This is their fourth time now stopping and starting a new series in Jump. In series they've been doing it for 8 years, and they had Mashiro's illness hiatus, and a year between Tanto and PCP, so basically, they're on their 4th series in the course of maybe 5 years of ongoing work.
AND they get Hattori again. Even if the circumstances are different this time, its kind of like... can't they ever keep a single title going for more than a year before they get uppity and want to do something new? Before they go behind people's backs and submit a random one shot to something for no real reason? Can't they ever work with an editor other than the guy they've had for 9 years?
Hell, freaking One Piece has two different editors and changes them out every 2 years. Dragonball had 4 different editors during its 11 year run. At Marvel teams change editors every six months, and people get fired or move onto different careers.
I know "anime, marriage, beat Eiji" are their constant motivators, and Hattori understand them well, (even though I think they still haven't told him the WHY of the anime's importance...) and they're growing and changing as creators, but still... There's things you can only do with a story thats been running for several years that you just can't do with a fresh one. I want to see them deal with a story having to evolve in and of itself over time. Deal with a new editor that isn't the complete idiot Muira was. (This new guy is going to be sidelined as PCP is pushed completely into the background.)
Oh well. Its probably the final arc of the series, so I guess that can all be excused. But if it goes on after this...
But yeah, this chapter was great; especially since it seems like we're kicking off the final arc with a BANG! Hattori's expressions were so awesome.
HOLY CRAP!!!!! Awesome!
I just read 151 up to this one, and...again..holy crap! Bakuman remains as the best manga I'm currently reading Then again..I'm only reading this and Naruto ahaha!

My Stuff Bags
posted on May 21st, 2011
Last week I attended the 3rd annual Do Good Stuff-a-thon, sponsored by the Toy Industry Foundation at the My Stuff Bags Foundation, out in Westlake Village, CA. My mom and I stuffed bags in an assembly line for 2 hours! Well worth the drive for this amazing organization. A friend told me about them years ago, and Ive been a strong supporter ever since.
What is My Stuff Bags, and what exactly was I doing in an assembly line, you ask?
This is from their website: Imagine the trauma of being a child separated from all you know parents, possessions and home and not having anything to cling to for comfort. Sadly, each year, hundreds of thousands of children here in the United States must be rescued from severe abuse, neglect or abandonment. Traumatized and facing an uncertain future, they frequently enter shelters and foster care with nothing no favorite stuffed animal, no special blanket. They are afraid, disoriented, and desperate for comfort. Thats where we come in.
The My Stuff Bags Foundation, with the help of thousands of people across the country, provides these unfortunate children with new belongings and new hope through its innovative My Stuff Bags program.
My Stuff Bags are bright blue individual duffels filled with brand new, age- and gender-appropriate toys, books, a stuffed animal, school supplies, clothing, personal toiletries, and a warm, often hand-made security blanket all theirs to keep. Packed with items they desperately need as they adjust to their new surroundings, My Stuff Bags provide things to do and to hold during this difficult time.
"It was a hot day, and I wasn't about to put one of those t-shirts over my dress... pant, pant!
For years now, I contribute money, books (last year I donated 1000 copies of Math Doesnt Suck), toys, and time! Ive done a few stuff-a-thons, and I love them. With every bag, you just know that youre providing hope and love to a child who needs it the most. It's fun, too: You grab items from the bins, stick 'em in the bags, and scoot them to the next person who does the same!
Its really easy to help at any level, no matter where you live. Check out their website to find out more.

text: International arbitration Publication | April 2012 Editorial Legal update International arbitration in Venezuela Revised ICC Rules of Arbitration P.R.I.M.E. Finance – A new arbitration institution for complex financial product disputes Noticeboard Contacts Focus on Latin America Editorial We began 2012 by reinforcing our position as one of the top energy and mining legal practices in the world when Macleod Dixon joined Norton Rose Group on 1 January. This is in addition to our other key strengths: financial institutions; transport; technology and innovation; and pharmaceuticals and life sciences. With Macleod Dixon we are joined by more than 260 lawyers and have established a presence in Venezuela, Colombia and Kazakhstan in Central Asia, some of the most significant natural resources markets in the world. We also enhanced our resources in Canada and Russia.Our teams in these markets bring considerable experience in international arbitration. So we have asked Ramon J Alvins, Elisabeth Eljuri and Gustavo Mata, some of our new colleagues in Caracas, Venezuela, to explore the conundrum in the disparity between the Venezuelan Constitution's commitment to international and domestic arbitration and the state's recent denunciation of the ICSID Convention.We also outline the changes introduced in the recently revised ICC Rules of Arbitration. And we take a look at P.R.I.M.E. Finance, the new arbitration institution for disputes concerning complex financial products, and its chances of addressing a number of perceived failings with existing dispute resolution mechanisms in this area.Pierre BienvenuGlobal practice leader - international arbitrationNorton Rose GroupJoseph TiradoHead of international arbitrationNorton Rose LLP Legal update Venezuela withdraws from ICSIDThe Venezuelan government denounced the ICSID Convention on 24 January 2012 and stated in a press release that, in future, all public interest contracts will be subject to the jurisdiction of Venezuelan national courts. In accordance with Article 71 of the ICSID Convention, the notice will take effect six months after the date on which it was given, so it will be effective in July 2012.2012 ICC rules now in forceThe new ICC rules came into force on 1 January 2012. See our article in this newsletter on the key changes.Enforcing arbitral awards in GermanyIn a recent decision (BGH NJW 2011, 1290), the German Supreme Court confirmed that a party may challenge an award in the country of enforcement without initiating set aside proceedings in the jurisdiction where the award was made. This is in line with the UK Supreme Court decision in Dallah Real Estate and Tourism Holding Company v The Ministry of Religious Affairs, Government of Pakistan [2010] UKSC 46 and with practice in many New York Convention states.Enforcing arbitral awards in AustriaIn a recent Supreme Court decision (OGH, decision 3Ob65/11x), a very strict interpretation of the award authentication requirements resulted in a foreign award being denied enforcement. The applicant had submitted a legalised copy of the arbitral award, endorsed with written confirmation by the sole arbitrator, that the copy was a true and complete copy of the original. Although the authenticity of the award was not in dispute, it was held that an arbitrator could not authenticate his own award and that a certified copy issued by the ICC Secretary General was required. The case underlines the importance of strict compliance with procedural requirements at the enforcement stage in some jurisdictions. International arbitration in Venezuela By Ramón J Alvins, Elisabeth Eljuri and Gustavo MataInternational and domestic arbitration is described in the Veneuzuelan Constitution as part of the state's justice system. Yet Venezuela's denunciation of the ICSID Convention highlights contradictions in practice within its legal system.Article 258 of the Venezuelan Constitution goes so far as to establish that the law in Venezuela shall promote arbitration. The Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Tribunal has interpreted this provision as imposing an obligation not only on the legislator, but also on the judiciary, stating that the latter should "promote, as much as possible, the use of means of alternative dispute resolution, and adopt all measures necessary to promote and recognise their effective operation".Venezuela has also ratified several international conventions on the territorial effectiveness and enforcement of arbitration agreements and arbitral awards, including the New York Convention, and it has adopted a Commercial Arbitration Law, known as the CAL.Whilst at first glance Venezuela appears to be arbitration friendly, it is difficult to determine which disputes may be submitted to arbitration, and it can be quite arduous to enforce an award made by an international arbitral tribunal against Venezuela. Moreover, Venezuela's recent denunciation of the ICSID Convention has left some foreign investors wondering how to obtain reparation from the Venezuelan state in the event of a future dispute.The arbitrability of disputesSubmitting a specific dispute to arbitration, domestic or international, is contingent on an analysis of the arbitrability of the dispute. This is no easy task in Venezuela, where an intricate web of legal norms,including Supreme Court decisions, must be untangled in order to resolve the question.In some instances the law expressly prohibits resort to arbitration. These instances, in which the Venezuelan courts have exclusive jurisdiction, include disputes concerning in rem rights over immovable property located in Venezuelan territory, crimes and misdemeanors, or family matters such as divorce. However, there is still an intense debate concerning the arbitrability of 'public interest contracts'. This question deserves separate analysis."There is still an intense debate concerning the arbitrability of public interest contracts"Article 151 of the Constitution establishes that:All public interest contracts, if appropriate in accordance with their nature, shall be deemed to include, even if not expressly stated, a clause according to which all questions and controversies arising out of such contracts and which may not be resolved amicably shall be decided by the competent courts of the Republic, in accordance with its laws, and under no circumstance or motive may give rise to foreign claims.Whether this provision grants Venezuela absolute immunity from the jurisdiction of foreign courts and/or from arbitral proceedings has been the subject of considerable debate by Venezuelan courts and legal scholars.Public interest contracts are those to which the public administration, acting in the exercise of its powers, is a party. In accordance with Article 151, whenever the nature of such contracts allows for the exclusive jurisdiction clause to be inserted, it is deemed to be included. Therefore, the question of whether or not the disputes arising out of a specific public interest contract may be submitted to arbitration must be decided on a case by case basis, by conducting a thorough analysis of the nature of the contract. This was confirmed by the Supreme Court in a 2008 constitutional interpretation which concluded that Article 151 establishes a system of partial immunity from the jurisdiction of foreign courts or arbitral tribunals.Investment arbitrationVenezuela follows Argentina as the Latin American state with the highest number of ICSID cases against it, the vast majority of which were filed in the past five years.On January 25, 2012, Venezuela denounced the ICSID Convention. This came as no surprise to investors or to the international community at large, given that Venezuelan officials had publicly announced their intention to withdraw from ICSID jurisdiction.The Venezuelan government argued that, as part of its constitutional mandate, it had no choice but to denounce the ICSID Convention because Article 151 of the Constitution invalidates any consent to ICSID jurisdiction under the ICSID Convention. The current position of the Venezuelan government appears to contradict the partial immunity from jurisdiction system that the Supreme Court established in its 2008 interpretative decision.In accordance with Article 71 of the ICSID Convention, Venezuela's notice will take effect six months after the date of notice. While this may suggest that affected investors have six months to bring any claim, before the consequences of denunciation take effect, under Article 72 of the ICSID Convention, investors protected by bilateral investment treaties (BITs) may be able to file ICSID claims after the denunciation has taken effect.There is extensive debate about the proper interpretation of Articles 71 and 72 of the ICSID Convention; there are essentially three positions on this topic. Some consider that mutual consent to arbitrate has to be given prior to the denunciation of the Convention; otherwise, a dispute cannot fall within ICSID jurisdiction.Others take an intermediate position, under which investors would be allowed to accept the consent given by a state in a BIT until the denunciation of the Convention becomes effective, that is to say, within the six-month period established in Article 71.A less strict approach is adopted by those who argue that Article 72 encompasses all unilateral offers of consent contained in BITs, which remain in force even after the denunciation of the Convention. This would allow investors to commence ICSID proceedings even after the denunciation takes effect.None of these pronouncements has been tested, although their correctness may be confirmed by an ICSID tribunal in a claim brought after Bolivia's denunciation of the ICSID Convention had taken effect.Some Venezuelan commentators have argued that Article 22 of the Venezuelan Foreign Investment Law constitutes an open consent by Venezuela to the jurisdiction of ICSID. However, this idea has been rejected by the Supreme Court and three ICSID panels as of the date of this publication.In light of the current situation, foreign investors should examine carefully the alternatives to ICSID arbitration that their relevant BITs might offer, such as ICSID's Additional Facilities or arbitration under the UNCITRAL Rules.Award enforcementVenezuelan courts seem to have no problem when it comes to enforcing awards rendered in domestic or international arbitrations to which both parties are private entities. However, there is some doubt with respect to the enforcement of an award adverse to the interests of the Venezuelan state.Under the international conventions ratified by Venezuela, Venezuelan courts shall not enforce an award whenever it is contrary to Venezuelan public policy."Venezuelan courts seem to have no problem when it comes to enforcing awards rendered in domestic or international arbitrations to which both parties are private entities"It has been suggested in certain Supreme Court decisions that any award by an international arbitral tribunal that negatively affects the Venezuelan state would be contrary to public policy. Under this reasoning it seems fairly unlikely, if not impossible, to obtain the enforcement of an arbitral award in which the tribunal has not sided with the Venezuelan government.Ramon J Alvins and Elisabeth Eljura are partners and Gustavo Mata is an associate in the Caracas office of Norton Rose Canada LLP. Revised ICC Rules of Arbitration The International Chamber of Commerce's revised Rules of Arbitration, which came into force on 1 January 2012, promise more cost-efficient and speedy resolution.by Joe Tirado, Sherina Petit and Michelle KeenThe 2012 ICC rules clarify a number of issues and codify others not addressed in its 1998 rules. They are the result of lengthy consultations with arbitration practitioners and users and apply to all arbitrations commenced on or after 1 January 2012, unless the parties have agreed to submit their arbitration to the rules in effect on the date of their arbitration agreement (Article 6(1)). A number of material changes have been introduced, including updated provisions on multi-party and multi-contract arbitration, as well as mechanisms to create a faster, more efficient and transparent process:Provisions to promote speed and cost-efficiencyUnder the ICC's 1998 rules, the ICC Court had to give a prima facie decision on the existence of an arbitration agreement (Article 6(2)). Now, the tribunal decides any question of jurisdiction, unless the Secretary General refers the matter to the ICC Court (Article 6(3)).The ICC Court has increased powers to make direct appointments of arbitrators instead of acting on proposals by national committees, thus avoiding appointment delays (Article 13(3) and 13(4)).The tribunal and the parties must "make every effort to conduct the arbitration in an expeditious and cost-effective manner" (Article 22(1)). Where a party fails to do so, the arbitral tribunal may now sanction that party when deciding costs (Article 37(5)).To facilitate case management, the tribunal must convene a case management conference with the parties when drawing up the terms of reference, or as soon as possible after doing so (Article 24(1)). The tribunal is also empowered to adopt appropriate case management measures in consultation with the parties (Article 22(2)). Appendix IV of the new rules and the ICC's Techniques for Controlling Time and Costs in Arbitration give examples of such measures.Disputes involving multiple contracts and partiesDispute resolution is becoming increasingly complex, frequently involving multiple parties and contracts. The 1998 rules did not adequately address this, and the clearer guidance provided in the new rules should be welcomed. Key provisions to note are:Under Article 7, a party may join a third party to the arbitration (without the consent of any other party) simply by filing a request for joinder with the Secretariat, provided that this is done before any arbitrator is appointed or confirmed, unless the parties otherwise agree.Article 8 provides that any party may make any type of claim or counterclaim against any other party to the arbitration prior to the approval of the terms of reference, after which additional claims or counterclaims require the tribunal's authorisation.claims arising out of or in connection with more than one contract may be made in a single arbitration, provided the arbitration agreements are compatible.Article 10 broadens the more limited consolidation mechanism found in Article 4(6) of the 1998 rules. The ICC Court may now consolidate two or more arbitrations where the parties agree, all of the claims are made under the same arbitration agreement, or the parties are the same and the arbitration agreements are compatible.Emergency arbitrator provisionsWhere a party needs urgent interim or conservatory measures that cannot await the constitution of the arbitral tribunal, new provisions have been made for an "Emergency Arbitrator" to be appointed (Article 29 and Appendix V).However, under Article 29(6), note that the emergency arbitrator provisions will not apply where:the arbitration agreement was concluded before 1 January 2012the parties have agreed to opt out of themthe parties have agreed to another pre-arbitral procedure that provides for granting conservatory, interim or similar measures (such as the ICC Pre- Arbitral Referee Procedure).Note also that once an arbitral tribunal has been constituted, it is not bound by the emergency arbitrator's order, which it may modify, terminate or annul (Article 29(3)). To commence the emergency procedure the claimant must pay US$40,000 on account for the fees of the ICC Court and emergency arbitrator.General provisionsConfidentialityThe tribunal now has express power to make orders concerning the confidentiality of the arbitration proceedings or of any other matters relating to the arbitration (Article 22(3)).Only ICC Court authorised to administer arbitration under the 2012 ICC RulesThe ICC Court is now the only body authorised to administer arbitrations under the 2012 Rules (Article 1(2)).Impartial and independent arbitratorsConcerns about a rise in challenges brought against arbitrators alleging lack of independence and impartiality have prompted a clarification and extension of arbitrators' disclosure obligations when accepting appointments. Arbitrators must now be and remain "impartial and independent" and sign a "statement of acceptance" confirming this (Articles 11(1) and 11(2)).Model arbitration clauseThere is no amendment to the model ICC arbitration clause. However, the ICC has put forward alternative wording to be used where (for any reason) the parties prefer that the Emergency Arbitrator provisions should not apply.

P.R.I.M.E. Finance – A new arbitration institution for complex financial product disputes By Michael Godden, Yke Lennartz and Matt WaudbyP.R.I.M.E. Finance is a new ADR service for disputes concerning complex financial products (CFPs). Based in The Hague, it opened for business on 16 January 2012 and looks set to provide some extremely helpful resources.P.R.I.M.E.'s purposeP.R.I.M.E. Finance (the Panel of Recognised International Market Experts in Finance) seeks to address a number of perceived failings with dispute resolution mechanisms when it comes to CFP disputes. These include:inconsistency in the way in which courts approach the meaning and effect of standardised market documentation in different jurisdictions.For example, the English and New York courts have recently adopted different views on the meaning and effect of Section 2(a)(iii) of the ISDA Master Agreement. CFPs trade in a global marketplace and, in many cases, the same documentation (such as the ISDA Master Agreement) is used across the world. For that documentation to have different effects in different jurisdictions can create legal uncertainty and market inefficiency.a perception that in some cases there is insufficient understanding of CFPs among judges, arbitrators and lawyers.To some, CFPs (derivatives, structured notes and the like) are the 'rocket science' end of the financial markets where innovation is rapid. There is concern that it may be unrealistic to expect generalist judges or arbitrators to have the understanding to properly resolve certain CFP disputes.existing mechanisms can be too slow in resolving CFP disputes.CFP markets can move very quickly; prices can change by the second. Here, justice delayed can be very much justice denied.the difficulties in enforcing domestic court judgments in many foreign jurisdictions. This deficiency has gained significance as CFPs have become more widely traded with emerging market counterparties. In some circumstances this has tempered banks' traditional preference for court based resolution in favour of arbitration (and thus the benefits of the New York Convention).What P.R.I.M.E. offersP.R.I.M.E. seeks to fulfil its aims by providing:a new arbitral institution offering a panel of specialist arbitrators and new rules.P.R.I.M.E.'s impressive panel, from which parties will select their arbitrators, seeks to provide both financial market and dispute resolution expertise.Its current panel includes judges, central bankers, regulators, lawyers, academics and market participants.In January 2012 P.R.I.M.E. published the first version of its rules, modelled on the UNCITRAL rules, with certain adjustments. For example:they are institutionalised with P.R.I.M.E. as the arbitration institute. Generally, arbitrators are to be appointed from P.R.I.M.E.'s list only.they provide for three types of expedited proceedings, including: (i) expedited proceedings leading to an award on the merits under which the parties may agree with the tribunal to shorten timelines; (ii) emergency proceedings to consider applications for interim measures; and (iii) referee arbitral proceedings (for which the place of arbitration must be in Holland).P.R.I.M.E. hopes to achieve its objective of speed through these fast track mechanisms (as well as via the generally greater finality of arbitral awards compared to court judgments).P.R.I.M.E.'s rules also provide that it may publish its awards anonymously, providing that the parties do not object within one month of receipt of the decision. This is to create greater consistency in decision making.P.R.I.M.E. expects to revise its rules within a year to cover:the provision of a mediation service and the ability to provide expert opinions.the provision of education and outreach services.This will include CFP training to jurists globally, an online database of all significant CFP judgments and law reform activities. This may prove valuable in emerging markets.The future?P.R.I.M.E. has lofty ambitions and laudable objectives. As a new institution, however, it will inevitably face significant challenges. The extent to which it is able to meet them will shape its ability to achieve its goals. These challenges may include:striking the right balance in marrying finance expertise with dispute resolution experience.ensuring that experts (many of whom are leading figures in their professions) are available and that P.R.I.M.E. tribunals can be rapidly constituted.the extent to which it can resolve CFP disputes appropriately via the use of expedited proceedings, when sophisticated products are involved and parties are reluctant to agree to such procedures.Achieving global consistency in the absence of a system of binding precedent, and when its tribunals will be required to apply the governing law chosen by the parties to each dispute (when different governing laws may adopt inconsistent approaches).the degree to which parties (particularly losing parties) will be willing for P.R.I.M.E. to publish its awards.These challenges notwithstanding P.R.I.M.E. is an exciting development which should help those involved in CFP disputes.Michael Godden is a partner and Matt Waudby is Of Counsel in the London office and Yke Lennartz is a partner in the Amsterdam office of Norton Rose LLP.

Drew Brees: ''We started fast, and finished strong''
by Kristian Garic
posted Sep 23 2013 9:49AM
Following the Saints' victory over a very good Cardinals team, I caught up with Drew Brees for our weekly "Monday Morning Quarterback feature, which you can hear every Monday morning at 7:45 on First News with Tommy Tucker.
Drew, you were able to finish this like you want, in victory formation.
It's just a great team effort all the way around. Defense played phenomenal, on offense, we sputtered at times, midway through. But we started fast, and finished strong, and that's what it's all about.
Talk a little about Jimmy Graham's outstanding game.
He played great today. There were some favorable matchups, he made some great plays. They played us in a way they were going to single up a lot of guys, and get pressure on the quarterback, and we had to get it out faster than we wanted to. Once we settled in, we started to take advantage of some of those matchups, and get to some of those guys in space. You make one guy miss, and you've got the opportunity for the big play. I think we were able to exploit that.
Was it neat connecting with Robert Meachem in the end zone again?
Absolutely! We talked about it, great to get him back involved. I know he's excited to be back, to be a part of this offense, and we can really utilize his strengths. There's a lot of familiarity there, there's a lot of time on task. It's as if no time has passed, really. So, we just look forward to incorporating him even more.
What was Arizona doing early that gave you trouble?
The looks they were giving us early on were stacking the box, they were going to have an extra guy at times…there were times when we were running into tough looks, but we were trying to get the tough yards. They did a good job, they got some pressure on me, so I think that's why we were negative rushing yards in the first half. But when you finish with over a hundred yards, it means you did your job in the second half.
You ran for one TD and threw for three, are we going to see the zone-read option coming any time soon?
Not so fast. (laughs) You know, there's time on third down, and certain situations, where when the QB runs, they're not accounting for you. If you can steal one or two of those per game, it's all good. It sustains drives, and it's tough on a defense when you're able to add that element.
Tell us about what it's like for your offense when you have Rob Ryan's defense out doing what they've been doing.
They're playing exceptionally well. I know they're thinking, "hey, how do we continue to improve upon what we've done so far?" I think we've got a lot of prideful guys on that side of the ball that love this scheme, they love what Rob Ryan's bringing to the table…they were able to do some kind of different things, based upon the personnel we have. Offensively, it's fun for us to watch, but we also feed off that, from a momentum standpoint. We want to take those opportunities and convert them into points.

Offense started fast?
Ummm Drew, yall didn't start fast. The O-line didn't protect and didn't run block for the running backs. -6 yards of running in the first half is fast to you? But congrats on starting 3-0 and improving on consistency and your nerves from week 1 to week 2 to week 3.

Applying for a Driver's License
Age Requirements
The minimum age for obtaining a Virginia driver's license is sixteen years and three months. To obtain a Virginia learner's permit, you must be at least fifteen years and six months.
Identification and Residency Requirements
Each time you apply for a driver's license, learner's permit, or CDL (or on each return visit until your license is issued), you must present documents proving your eligibility.
- If you are age 19 or older, you must show two proofs of identity, one proof of legal presence and one proof of Virginia residency. Proof of your social security number (if you have been issued one) is also required; however, proof of your social security number is always required for a CDL or a commercial learner's permit.
- If you are under 19 years of age, you will be required to show one proof of identity, one proof of legal presence, and one proof of Virginia residency, along with proof of your social security number (if you have been issued one).
To determine which documents to bring to DMV when you apply, use the interactive Document Guide, or review the DMV publication Obtaining a Driver's License or ID Card (DMV 141) .
All documents must be originals and will be subject to verification; however, print-outs of online residency documents that are listed on Form DMV 141 are acceptable as proof of residency. Temporary documents and photocopies of documents will not be accepted. DMV will not accept a document as proof of identity, legal presence, residency or social security number when there is reason to believe it has been altered, fraudulently obtained or is fake, forged, counterfeit, or otherwise non-genuine or illegitimate.
Documents accepted by DMV as proof of identity, legal presence, Virginia residency and social security number may change without prior notice. DMV may require additional documents.
You may hold either a driver's license, or a CDL, but not both. If you hold a license of any kind, you are not eligible for an ID card.[Back to Top]
Additional Requirements
- If you are from out-of-state and posses a valid driver's license, DMV may exchange your out-of-state driver's license for a Virginia driver's license if you meet the identity, legal presence, residency, and social security requirements and Virginia's driver education requirements, if applicable.
- If you are age 18 or older and you have never held a license issued by any state, U.S. territory or foreign country, you must hold a learner's permit for a minimum of 60 days or show completion of a state approved driver training course while holding the permit.
- If you are under age 18, you must provide proof of successful completion of a state-approved driver education program and hold a learner's permit at least nine months before you can receive a driver's license. The driver education certificate of completion is considered part of the driver's license application. Your parent, guardian or foster parent must list his or her driver's license or state-issued identification card number and sign the certificate to certify that you have driven at least 45 hours,15 of which occurred after sunset, and that the statements made and the information submitted on the certificate are true and correct. Certifying false statements can result in prosecution.
If you previously have been found not innocent of any offense by a juvenile and domestic relations court in Virginia or any other state, you must obtain approval to be licensed from that court or a court in the city or county where you live.[Back to Top]
Selective Service Registration
Generally, males under age 26 must register with the Selective Service. If you are required by federal law to register with the Selective Service, you must authorize DMV to forward your personal information to the Selective Service unless you have already registered.
If you are under age 18, your parent or guardian must sign your application authorizing the Selective Service to register you when you turn age 18.
DMV is prohibited by law from issuing any type of driver's license or ID card to an applicant who is required by federal law to register with the Selective Service but who refuses to authorize DMV to send his information to the Selective Service. If you have questions about Selective Service registration, visit the Selective Service website at www.sss.gov or call 847-688-6888 (TTY: 847-688-2567).[Back to Top]
Completing the Application
When applying for an original driver's license, you must complete an application for a Virginia driver's license (form DL 1P). You may complete this form before or after coming to DMV. Use your full legal name. Abbreviations and nicknames will not be accepted. For your convenience, you also may apply to register to vote or change your voter registration address when you apply for your driver's license. Additionally, you may indicate your desire to become an organ donor.
If you are under age 18, your parent, custodial parent or legal guardian must provide written consent by signing your application. A court order showing that you are an emancipated minor is acceptable in lieu of written consent.
Falsifying information on any driver's license or identification card application is a criminal offense. Altering or assisting a person with improperly or fraudulently obtaining a driver's license, learner's permit, CDL, commercial learner's permit or ID card are also criminal offenses.[Back to Top]
Duration of License
Normally, your Virginia driver's license is valid for eight years and expires on your birthday. Your first driver's license will expire on your birthday in the eighth year of license validity.
If you are age 75 or older, your driver's license will be valid for five years.
The Code of Virginia mandates that persons required to register as a sex offender pursuant to Chapter 9 of Title 9.1 renew their driver's licenses every 5 years.
For many individuals authorized to be in the U.S. temporarily, a driver's license will be valid only for the amount of time that you are legally permitted to stay in the U.S.. You will not be eligible to receive a limited duration driver's license if your authorized stay in the U.S. is less than 30 days from the date of your application. The expiration of the driver's license will be the same as the expiration date shown on the document used to prove legal presence. If there is no definite end to your stay, the license will be valid for one year.[Back to Top]
The cost of a license varies, so refer to the DMV Fee Chart for details.[Back to Top]
Tests may include a vision screening, a two-part knowledge exam and a road skills test. A DMV representative will tell you which tests you need to take.[Back to Top]
Receiving Your License
Once you pass your required testing, your driver's license will be mailed to the address in DMV's records. DMV has converted to a new secure process for issuing driver's licenses and ID cards, and has discontinued issuing them over the counter. The U.S. Postal Service will not forward driver's licenses, so make sure that DMV has your current, correct address on record. If you have moved, notify DMV right away.
If you are under age 18, your driver's license will be sent to the judge of your local juvenile and domestic relations court. The court will notify you by mail about when and where you and your parent, custodial parent or legal guardian must appear to receive your license. If you are age 18 on the date of your court licensing ceremony, your parent, custodial parent or legal guardian does not need to accompany you.
DMV can deny or suspend driving privileges for persons under age 18 if the juvenile meets one or more of the conditions below. Questions about this law may be directed to DMV.
- The juvenile is found delinquent by a court,
- The juvenile is in need of supervision,
- The juvenile is involved in an alcohol or drug-related offense, or
- The juvenile needs court-assigned services or programs such as counseling.
DMV will assign you a customer number which will display on your driver's license, learner's permit, CDL, or commercial learner's permit. If you wish to change your DMV-assigned number in the future, you may be required to present documentation from law enforcement or the courts indicating that you may be a victim of identity theft.
DMV may refuse to issue a driver's license or identification card to any applicant who appears for photographing in a disguise or intentionally distorts their face to alter their appearance.[Back to Top]
Additional Information
For questions about driver fitness, refer to Medical and Mental Requirements
For driver's license examples, refer to images of driver's licenses and identification cards.
Persons convicted of certain sexual offenses (as listed in Va. Code § 46.2-323) must register with the Virginia Department of State Police as provided in § 19.2-298.1.

I recently moved into a new build where I had a whirlpool tub installed. The builder used copper piping for the jets/water recirculation. Two months later, when I activate the whirlpool tub jets, sodder residue still appears on the wall of the tub. Should the builder have used a different material? Is there anything I can do to remedy the situation or expedite the sodder residue removal besides exercise patience? Please advise.
