At Uniplaces we make the process of booking an apartment as easy as possible for both tenant and landlord.
That's why we have our own team of professional photographers that verify our properties and pick our landlords carefully in order to save time on viewings: we think it's old-fashioned and time-consuming.
You can look at forty different apartments on our platform in the same amount of time that it takes to see a room.
The pictures you see here haven't been photoshopped, so they'll be really accurate.
If you've still got any doubts, we'll keep the money that you transfer us until 24h after your move-in date.
If something's not exactly what you saw online, we'll help you move somewhere else and return your money.
We can only give you the contact details of your landlord after your booking is accepted. But we can guarantee that Uniplaces chooses the landlords it works with very carefully.
Besides, we've had students whose favourite part was living with a local!
Landlords and host families can be great city guides, help you out with translations and even become your friends.
As soon as your booking is accepted, you're given the landlord's contact details. Then, you can discuss all details directly with them, such as when you'll be moving-in.
Students move in and out at different times, so your flatmates might change during your stay.
It's a great opportunity to make new friends!
We personally speak to students who we place in Uniplaces apartments and are sure we will find the right place for you as well!
At the bottom of the property page, you have a calendar where you can see the availability of that room/apartment, according to the landlord.
But if you're still unsure about that we're happy to help.
Tell us your move-in and move-out dates and we will double-check if the place is available for you!
There are two different types of deposits: the Holding and Security deposits.
By clicking on "Deposit" at the bottom of the offer page you will get more information about each type of deposit.
In general, the deposit is paid to cover for any potential damages that may occur during your period of stay or will be used as rent compensation in case you leave earlier than originally planned.
If no damages occur and you leave on the agreed move-out date, your deposit should be refunded by the landlord in a way you both agree on.

This week we'll talk about how to watch the weigh-in — what to look for and what it means when you see it.
The guy with the most weight is worth a look but so are some of the other guys, especially if they show you some consistency. The Red River is not a place where you're going to see a 30-pound bag. But, at the same time, if you see a guy with only 10 or 12 pounds you're looking at a guy in trouble.
Look for the competitor who weighs 15-18 pounds the first and second day. That guy is managing his fish. He's adapting to changing conditions and that means he'll be in the hunt on Sunday. He'll probably be in the Top 10. If he's within 4 pounds of the leader he's capable of winning. Remember, the final day is tough. Everyone is tired and every inch of water has been fished. Little things make a big difference.
And look for the guy who says he's getting bites and who says he feels good about his area and his fish. Most of the guys will be fairly honest about this. Even if they're not, however, you can tell from the way they carry themselves and how they act on stage. It's hard to cover up disappointment in a Bassmaster Classic. The stakes are just too high.
At the same time, pay attention to where they say they're fishing. Some of them might have an area to themselves — that's a huge plus — but most of them will be fishing in a crowd. Look for someone who's doing something a little different to catch slightly larger fish, or who's able to keep his bite going when everyone else is casting for exercise.
The other anglers will give you clues about this. Pay particular attention when you hear someone say that he wasn't getting the bites but another guy was and that other guy is fishing just a few yards away. That tells you something is going on, someone has something figured out that the other guys don't know.
This is really important. In fact, it might be the most important thing of all. Think back to when Skeet (Reese) won in 2009. He was fishing a community hole but he had a different approach, one that he used to keep catching them when the other guys were struggling. He won. The rest of us went home. Nothing more needs to be said.
One final thought: Beware of falling into the trap of thinking that rookie Elite Series Classic qualifiers can't win. They can, and so can anyone else who qualified. We all know how to bass fish under the clock and we all have won big tournaments. The new guys aren't afraid of any of us veterans. I know. I was once one of those new guys.
Next Monday we'll talk about pressure and how it affects our performance on the water. You might be surprised at what I have to say.

Morning Star Bamboo Flooring is one of the best bamboo floors on the market today. It is produced from old growth bamboo reeds that are at least 4 years old, thereby increasing hardness. Morning Star Bamboo Flooring creates a naturally beautiful and ecologically friendly product that evokes a feeling of luxury.
Quick Highlights:
Natural: Bamboo in its natural, unstained state.
To make strand bamboo, shredded bamboo fibers are compressed under extreme heat and pressure. This manufacturing process yields flooring that is even harder and more dense than traditional bamboo floors. Available in a variety of colors to complement and décor, all Morning Star strand bamboo products are finished with premium coating and backed by a 50 year warranty.
And, since bamboo is a naturally sustainable grass that re-grows spontaneously after harvest, you can feel good about making an environmentally friendly flooring decision.
It's simple...
Not enough and want more?
We caught up with real Lumber Liquidators' customers who volunteered to discuss their floor shopping, buying and installation experiences. In no way did these customers receive compensation for their kind words. (They're speaking straight from the heart.)

Gallatin School of Individualized Study
Bachelor of Arts, May 2010
Concentration: Post-Conflict Development & Education
Profile (.pdf)
Hannah Davis studied International and Human Development with a focus on Creative Arts; she received her B.A. in May 2010.
Hannah's interest in this work began during a month-long independent study she undertook in Ghana as a high school senior. As part of her study, she spent time in regional schools and found that classes were overcrowded, teachers often did not come to class because of low salaries, and rote-style learning was inhibiting creativity and critical thinking.
With some funding secured, Hannah returned to Pokuase, Ghana in the summer of 2007 to implement the Ghana Literacy Project (GLP). The GLP runs classes such as the Girls' Exploration and Empowerment Club (GEEC), a weekend class for girls in public schools that supplements their education with science classes, computer skills, field trips, guest speakers, career-based mentoring, a book club, and other curricular and extracurricular opportunities. The GLP began a theater program in the spring of 2009 which runs an additional two classes per week. The organization also hosts summer courses; past subjects have been creative writing and astronomy. Additionally, the Ghana Literacy Project provides scholarships to the girls in the program, and supports Pokuase's first library, which was created by one of GLP's teachers.
The Ghana Literacy Project is currently in the process of creating three projects that will help the organization become financially sustainable. Two of these projects, an environmentally friendly public toilet and an internet café run by the girls in GEEC, will be based in Pokuase. The third, a fair-trade jewelry business, will be based in New York.
Hannah is also interested in the creative arts, particularly in creative writing and film. She has recently become interested in technologies that can help create new artworks and new ways of aiding the developing world. In addition to her time in Ghana, she has also lived in France, studying French, and Peru, creating mini videos for a nonprofit organization.

Ex-Ill. governor returns home after prison release
Former Illinois Gov. Jim Thompson, attorney for former Gov. George Ryan, talks to the media with family members watching from Ryan's front porch in Kankakee, Ill., Wednesday, Jan. 30, 2013, where the 78-year-old Ryan will be under home [auth] confinement following his release from prison. Ryan was released from a federal prison in Terre Haute, Ind., Wednesday after serving more than five years for corruption. But in a move that took many by surprise, he was allowed to travel on to his Kankakee home shortly after arriving at a halfway house in Chicago. (AP Photo/The Daily Journal, Scott Anderson)
CHICAGO (AP) — Former Illinois Gov. George Ryan was released from prison before dawn Wednesday, stopping only briefly at a halfway house before he was allowed to travel home to serve the rest of his sentence for corruption.
By midday, the 78-year-old was sitting in the living room of his spacious home in a leafy northern Illinois neighborhood in Kankakee, beaming and surrounded by his children and grandchildren, said Ryan's attorney and also a former governor, Jim Thompson.
"If you could see his and his grandkids' smiling faces," said Thompson, speaking by phone from Ryan's house. "He is surrounded by happy faces."
Amid an already emotion-packed day for Ryan, a grandchild handed him an urn shortly after his arrival at home that held the ashes of his wife, Lura Lynn, who died in 2011, Thompson said. He and his wife had raised their children in the same house.
Ryan's discharge to home confinement just hours after arriving at the halfway house seemed to surprise even Thompson, who insisted Ryan got no special treatment. He said officials simply determined he didn't need the services halfway homes provide such as assistance in writing checks and interviewing for jobs.
"The bureau of prisons is tough," Thompson said. "They don't play favorites." He noted that prison officials refused to bend the rules, for instance, when Ryan asked to attend his wife's funeral; the request was denied.
Ryan, a Republican, served five-plus years behind bars for multiple corruption convictions, walking out of his federal prison in Terre Haute, Ind. at around 1 a.m. Wednesday — his son driving him the 200 miles north to Chicago.
His first stop after getting to the Chicago area was at Thompson's house, where the two had coffee and Ryan changed from sweat pants into a business suit and put on the first tie he'd worn in years, Thompson said.
Later, looking relaxed and thinner than before prison, he walked past throngs of reporters into a Chicago halfway house just before 7 a.m. on Wednesday. Ryan smiled faintly but didn't speak to reporters.
Ryan was mostly quiet during the long drive from Indiana to Chicago, making a detour to Michigan Avenue to take in the Christmas lights still up along the city's iconic shopping street, Thompson said.
"It is such a stark change from penitentiary life," Thompson said outside the halfway house before traveling on to Kankakee. "He has to become accustomed again to being on the outside."
Ryan's status as an ex-governor didn't win him special consideration in the decision to let him skip the halfway house and go home, Bureau of Prisons spokesman Chris Burke said later Wednesday.
"It's not unheard of," he said.
Elderly inmates, those in poor health or those who have families willing to take care of them can win exemptions from mandates to spend at least several days at a halfway house, Burke said. He wasn't permitted to speak specifically about the factors in Ryan's case.
Ryan has suffered from his own health problems, including kidney disease, but displayed no outward signs of ill-health Wednesday.
Thompson said a final decision to let Ryan head home was made by prison officials only Wednesday morning, but he said he hadn't made the request and he wasn't aware that Ryan had. He said the facility apparently concluded a limit number of beds would be better offered to someone other than Ryan.
Ryan will be under home confinement until his sentence officially ends July 4, meaning he will only be allowed to leave on rare occasion, including for doctor's appointments or to go to church, and only with prior permission, Burke said.
Ryan will still be subject to strict rules, including prohibitions against speaking to the media. Thompson added that Ryan, who worked in a carpentry shop in prison, was granted retirement status by authorities, so he won't be required to find a job.
Ryan drew nationwide attention in 2003 when he deemed Illinois' capital punishment laws flawed and emptied death row. That reignited a nationwide debate and led the state to abolish its death penalty in 2011.
Some activists working to abolish the death penalty have suggested Ryan could speak nationwide on the issue.
His release means Illinois no longer has the dubious distinction of having two former governors behind bars simultaneously. Ryan's successor, Rod Blagojevich, is now Illinois' lone imprisoned governor. The Democrat is serving a 14-year term for corruption at a federal prison in Colorado.
A jury convicted Ryan in 2006 of racketeering, conspiracy, tax fraud and making false statements to the FBI. Jurors found that Ryan had steered state business to insiders as secretary of state and then as governor for vacations and gifts. He also was accused of stopping an investigation into secretary of state employees accepting bribes for truck driver's licenses.
Ryan was sentenced to 6 ½ years on Nov. 7, 2007. He compiled credit for good conduct, knocking 305 days off his sentence, Burke said.
Current Gov. Pat Quinn commented on Ryan's release at a news conference Wednesday, citing the deaths of six children of the Willis family in an accident involving a trucker who apparently bought his license when Ryan was secretary of state. The fatal crash helped spark the Ryan investigation.
"It's a very, very sad chapter in Illinois," Quinn said. "Justice had to be served. … Mr. Ryan served his time and we're moving forward."

Fashion show to highlight Western Pa. talent
Rae Coleman wants to give local designers of all diversities a runway to walk on together.
Owner of Pittsburgh-based Enhanced Creativity, a company that specializes in ethnic and traditional events, Coleman created the Come Couture Fashion Series. The first event in the series is a mini fashion show on March 29 to showcase the clothing of creative individuals with Pittsburgh ties.
Designer Lana Neumeyer, a native of Brazil who lives in O'Hara, says Coleman's desire to recognize talent from this area is wonderful because there are so many creative people making everything from wedding gowns to jumpsuits.
"Being part of this fashion show, I can bring a new way to wear couture," says Neumeyer, who is known for her bold collections that include lots of color and the finest fabrics. "Couture doesn't have to be about a high price tag or big brand name. It is about a feeling that you are one-of-a-kind. It's about confidence and being in control on the runway and beyond."
Part of the proceeds for the evening will benefit the Children's Institute of Pittsburgh in Squirrel Hill.
Neumeyer will be featuring outfits from previous collections as well as a few new looks, which will include bright and bold dresses, skirts and jackets.
Fellow designer Malcolm Williams, who lived in Clairton and Squirrel Hill before moving to Atlanta and who owns the Willie Gee clothing line, will be showing 10 looks at the event. His forte is custom-designed gowns.
"I am a gown guy," he says. "I love full, detailed gowns with big trains. I love all fashion. It is my life. It is everything to me. And when I create a piece for my line, it is like a work of art. My clothes come to life on the runway.
Williams says he wanted to be part of this show because of Coleman and her support of local designers. The fundraising component also was attractive to Williams.
"Designers love to give back," Williams says. "And it's an opportunity to help someone else through fashion, and all the designers bring their unique styles to the runway."
Being around other talented designers was one reason designer Armani Doley of the North Side wanted to be involved.
"I enjoy shows like this where I can see different types of designs," Doley says. "I live and breathe fashion. I think we all do."
Fashion is an art and a way of expression for designer Terry Jolo, who has a studio in East Liberty and lives in Washington, Pa. She creates outfits that have detachable pieces, such as arms on jackets and bottoms of longer skirts so they can be mixed and matched to create different looks.
"I like the fact that I can express myself through fashion," Jolo says. "People are happy when they wear fashion, and everyone can relate to fashion."
Coleman says she hopes the series will be a way to introduce the people of Pittsburgh to all of the talent in fashion right here. She says the designers support each other, because they understand what it takes to be successful in the fashion world.
"They work well together, and they create beautiful, amazing garments," Coleman says. "The purpose of the event is to celebrate diversity and provide a unique opportunity for local designers to showcase their talents."

The Montpellier tramway (French: Tramway de Montpellier) is a four-line tramway system in the city of Montpellier in Languedoc-Roussillon, France. The tramway is owned by the Montpellier Méditerranée Métropole, and is operated by the Transports de l'agglomération de Montpellier (TAM) authority.
The first line opened in July 2000 and the second in December 2006. Lines 3 and 4 opened in April 2012 along with an extension of line 1 and a diversion of line 2. The western section of line 4 opened in July 2016, thus completing the loop it makes around the city.
Line 1[edit]
Line 1 is 15.7 km long and runs entirely within the city limits of Montpellier, going on a looping route from the northwest, through the city centre, and going to the east end of the city, terminating at Odysseum, a shopping and entertainment district. There are 27 stations on the line, with 7 major interchanges. Currently, ridership on the line averages 130,000 passengers per day, exceeding initial ridership projections of 75,000 passengers per day. The line was completed on a budget of €348.8 million. The line is coloured blue.
Line 1 opened on July 1, 2000. The Millénaire station opened on October 11, 2003, and the Malbosc station opened on November 18, 2003. A one-station extension opened on September 21, 2009 from the former Odysseum station, which was renamed Place de France, to a new Odysseum station which serves an additional shopping centre. On April 7, 2012, the west end of the line was extended from Stade de la Mosson to Mosson to connect with the newly opened Line 3.[2]
For the line, stations, station platforms, and urban improvements were done by architect Antoine Garcia-Diaz. The livery of trams on Line 1 was decorated in blue with white swallows by stylists Élisabeth Garouste and Mattia Bonetti. Each tram is named after a community member of the Montpellier agglomeration community.
Rolling stock[edit]
All rolling stock on line 1 is stored at the Les Hirondelles depot in the western district of La Paillade, which is located between the Saint-Paul station and the Hauts de Massane station. The rolling stock comprises 30 Citadis 401 trams and 3 Citadis 402 trams manufactured by Alstom.
Originally, Line 1 was operated with 28 3-section Citadis 301 trams with a length of 29.8 m. As ridership became successful on the line and trams had been filling up, between July 2002 and May 2003, the trams were extended from a length of 29.8 m and 3 sections to 40.9 m and 5 sections, and two additional Citadis 401 trams were delivered in January 2002, bringing the number of trams on Line 1 up to 30. The trams are numbered from 2001 to 2030.
In early 2007, three Citadis 302 trams, as used on Line 2, were delivered, and became operational for service on May 2, 2007. The three trams are numbered from 2031 to 2033. All trams on Line 1 have a width of 2.65 m.

Line 2[edit]
Line 2 opened for service on December 16, 2006. It is the longest tram line in France, with a length of 17.5 km and with 28 stations.[4] The line is coloured orange. The Victoire 2 station opened April 16, 2007, being the 33rd station on the line. The line travels between Jacou in the northeast and Saint-Jean-de-Védas in the southwest, via Castelnau-le-Lez (on the boundary with Le Crès) and the centre of Montpellier. Line 2 was built at a cost of €450 million. In April 2007, with the opening of Lines 3 and Line 4, Line 2 was diverted to run from Corum to the SNCF station at Saint-Roch through Comédie.[2]
Part of Line 2, between Sabines and Saint-Jean-le-Sec, uses 2.5 km of an abandoned rail line. Line 2 is double tracked between Notre-Dame-de-Sablassou and Sabines; the remaining 3.5 km of the line is single tracked with passing loops.
As with Line 1, stations, station platforms, and urban improvements on Line 2 were done by architect Antoine Garcia-Diaz. The livery of trams on Line 2 is decorated in orange with flowers by Mattia Bonetti. Each tram is named for a historic person in the Montpellier region.
Rolling stock[edit]
Trams on Line 2 are stored at the La Jeune Parque depot, located near the Sabines station.
The rolling stock on Line 2 comprises 24 Citadis 302 trams manufactured by Alstom, with a length of 32.5 m, a width of 2.65 m, and five sections. The trams were delivered between March 2006 and February 2007 and are numbered from 2041 to 2064.

Line 3[edit]
Line 3 was inaugurated on April 7, 2012 with a length of 23.0 km and 29 stations. The line runs from Juvignac in the west to Pérols-Etang de l'Or in the southeast. There is also a three-station branch from Boirargues to Lattes-Centre. The line is coloured green. The rolling stock consists on 19 43m Alstom Citadis trams.[2] The route is as follows:
- The line starts in Juvignac, in a new district, Caunelles, in the north of the village.
- In Montpellier, Line 3 runs parallel to the Mosson.
- The line goes through neighbourhoods in the west end of the city. A part of this segment loops to the north to serve the Alco neighbourhood.
- Next, there is a connection to the existing Line 1 and Line 2 at Gare Saint-Roch.
- After passing Gare Saint-Roch, the line forms a semicircle to serve southern neighbourhoods of the city. Part of this route shares track with Line 2 between Gare Saint-Roch and Nouveau Saint-Roch.
- There is an interchange with Line 1 at Port Marianne, then the line travels southeast on Avenue de la Mer and Route de Carnon, and splits with a branch to Lattes and a branch to Pérols.
- In the community of Lattes, the branch runs from a station in the community of Boirargues, going on its own right-of-way to the centre of Lattes.
- In the community of Pérols, the branch runs in its own right-of-way parallel to Route de Carnon to a terminus in the southeast of Pérols. The terminus is 800 metres from the Mediterranean Sea.
Line 3 cost €530 million. Liveries of the trams on Line 3 were designed with an underwater theme by designer Christian Lacroix.[5]
An extension of the line to the Mediterranean coast at Carnon-Plage, or even as far as La Grande Motte, has been planned for years, but currently neither the route nor the funding has been secured for this plan.

Line 4[edit]
In June 2009, plans for a fourth line were published. Line 4 was put into service on April 7, 2012. The line is an 9.2 km circular route and consists of 18 stations. It partially runs on parts of lines 1,2 and 3. It is expected to serve 14000 daily riders. 12 40m Alstom Citadis tram will ply the route.[2] The livery for Line 4 reflects the sunshine of the Languedoc-Roussillon region. The livery was inspired from old engravings, with a blaze of gold set off by pearls, stones and jewels forms the backdrop for a series of architectural motifs borrowed from the Château du Peyrou and the Three Graces fountain, two nearby monuments.[6]
Line 4 makes an effective loop around the city since its last segment, at the west of the medieval city center (L'Écusson), is operational on July 1, 2016.

Line 5[edit]
Proposals for a fifth line were made in 2005, and the current project was officially presented in January 2009.
The route was determined in late 2012 after a public consultation: the 20.5 km long project was divided up into two phases, the first one consisting of a 15.5 km long light rail between Lavérune, West of Montpellier, and Clapiers, North of town. The second phase, consisting of a northward extension of the first phase towards Prades-le-Lez in the outer suburbs, is expected for 2020, but remains unfunded as of 2013. The initial cost for the new infrastructure was 350 million euros, with the majority of the funding coming from the Montpellier metropolitan authorities, complemented by subsidies from the State, the Region and the Département of Hérault. The public inquiry for the first phase took place in April–May 2013.
Construction was expected to begin in late 2013-early 2014, but a moratorium was established between 2014 and 2016 due to funding issues and protests along part of the route within the Parc Montcalm. But in April 2016, the mayor of Montpellier Philippe Saurel announced that the project is envisaged for 2025 with a shorter and cheaper route.

text:
The handshake is as potentially bone-crushing as ever, the smile broad and unaffected. For all that his critics will tell you that Lewis Hamilton's head is all screwed up these days, he looks perfectly relaxed as he steps aboard HMS Havengore at St Katherine's Pier on the Thames. It's about as miserable a day as it could be, with a darkened sky still hungover from a recent deluge. But Hamilton the competitor is grinning inside. That morning he's beaten his Vodafone McLaren Mercedes team-mate, Jenson Button, in a jetski race, and his blood is up. It doesn't matter that Jenson fell off after a lap and a half and slightly tweaked a knee; Hamilton set the fastest laps and that's what counts. Tiddleywinks, poker, a grand prix. It doesn't matter what it is, he plays to win.
That internal rage is part of the reason he's been accused of overdriving at times this season. And why he is desperate to add another British Grand Prix triumph to his tally this weekend at a time when Sebastian Vettel's latest cakewalk, in Valencia two weeks ago, took him to one career victory more than he has, 16 to 15.
Not so long ago he was the comingman that everyone was talking about, the youngest-ever world champion. Now Vettel has taken away both mantles, and it hurts. "He's taken away my youngest champion [tag] from me," Hamilton says thoughtfully, "and on the road he's on I hope he doesn't pull too far away in terms of wins."
What makes it especially tough is that Hamilton knows they aren't playing on an even field. The McLarens he has driven for the last three years have been race winners. But not championship winners. Vettel's Red Bull is once again the current class of the field, and his team have dominated Silverstone, scene of this Sunday's British GP, for the past two seasons. Hamilton, who won his home race in style back in 2008, is impatient for his own magic bullet.
The situation has been exacerbated by the need to temper his frustration with due respect for a brilliant team whose employees, both at the factory and at the race track, are doing their utmost to give him what he wants. More than any other sport, Formula One is a team game, even if the ultimate risk is taken by the man in the cockpit. Perhaps he's just lost his way a little; perhaps he's missing the calming effect of father Anthony's hand on his managerial tiller; perhaps it's as simple as it looks: he is driving a car that can't yet do what he wants and needs it to do.
Whatever the reason, some of the criticism he has been forced to withstand this year has been vicious. After he tapped Mark Webber into a gentle spin at the crowded start of the Canadian GP in June, three-time champion Niki Lauda said that he needed to be reined in before he killed someone. Emerson Fittipaldi, a two-time champion and McLaren's first, suggested that his driving was more aggressive than the late Ayrton Senna's, though clearly he did not remember that Hamilton's hero deliberately drove Alain Prost off the road, ahead of 24 cars full of fuel, at the start of the 1990 Japanese GP.
Hamilton insists all that doesn't hurt. "It doesn't affect me, to be honest, but if Ayrton was around and he said it, then I'd be deeply affected. What he did and said has huge meaning for me. People do forget the good things you do. I did good things in 2007 against Fernando. It's easy to forget."
But he admits that in the heat of the racing moment you can also forget things about yourself. "Sometimes when you have a frustrating weekend, it's easy to forget yourself who you are and what you stand for."
The McLaren team principal, Martin Whitmarsh, has been quick to defend his driver in these pages in the wake of Lauda and Fittipaldi's comments. "These are very quotable people, and very quotable people say things for effect. I know Niki and like him, and I accept that there are people around who want to say things to create controversy. Niki's in that category."
Of course, Hamilton regrets the numerous accidents and misfortunes that he's had in a bruising year, and in Valencia there were signs that he was taking a breather as he steered to fourth place and avoided a post-race meeting with the race stewards.
But that race showed the problem. His McLaren has not quite been a match for the Red Bull. So McLaren are pinning their hopes on the ban on off-throttle blown diffusers levelling the playing field this weekend, given that most accept that the blue cars derive a large chunk of their aerodynamic advantage from that part of the car. But even if that proves to be the case, Hamilton has a mountain to climb; at this midpoint, Vettel has 186 points to his 97, with 275 left to win.
"I think the title is a long way away," he admits philosophically. "That's disappointing, given the effort I've made this year. I've been training really hard, and somehow no matter how fit I am I manage to apply something more every year. I firmly believe that there isn't anybody else who does as much training as I do. There might be some who do the same, but no one does more.
"And I know how hard the team are pushing. We've moved on massively since 2007 and '08, and our biggest quality is our ability to bounce back. But this is the third year in a row when we haven't had a car with a chance of taking the title.
"It's a matter of having to drag yourself back up, and Silverstone is only the halfway point in the season. Inside, I have to hope that we'll find something and that we can then win every race and the world championship. But when you go to the next race and then the next one and the one after that, and you still haven't found that something, the chance goes. In the factory they are pushing as hard as they can, and I just apply positive pressure. I feel that I've given them a good direction of what I want to see in the car. It seems obvious: I want what Red Bull have, but it isn't as simple as that."
Of the rumours that Hamilton might eventually switch to Red Bull, Whitmarsh told The Independent recently: "He's sat with me here in the last 10 days and explained his passion, enthusiasm and desire to remain part of this team. I've known him since he was 11. I don't think he would look me in the eye and say that if he didn't mean it."
A victory at home this weekend would be a timely reminder to everyone just how potent the Hamilton-McLaren package can be. And might ensure that he stays put when his contract expires next year.

Rio/Ronan is getting worse. He has turned into a really nasty rabid anti-semite. and what's more, his comment doesn't make sense - why would a jew want to deal with Iran anyway? any excuse for Mohamhead al Rio to insult jews.

You nailed it. She IS getting worse. It's called senility and wearing an apron and waiting on that Palestinian husband just increases her hostility. This forum is the only place she can find her true self.

Any deal by Obama with his buddy Ayatollah Khamenie aimed at selling Israel down the river and pushing the fanatic Iranian regime to become a dangerous threatening nuke superpower. Mozlem Brother sympathizer Obama cannot hide his pro-Iranian agenda that could push the entire Middle East to major nuke war that will bring to death of tens of millions of innocent people all over the world. The great American conservative leader Sen. Marco Rubio is right to apply more sanctions on the Iranian rogue regime of lies that found good friend in the White house who go after the Iranian deceit blindly and put the American people in grave danger of nuke disaster. Marco is right to demand that the rogue radical Mozlem Brother regime of Iran must agree to halting its enrichment of uranium to a medium level of purity, or 20%; reducing its existing stockpile of enriched uranium, and stopping the construction of the Arak heavy-water reactor. Will the spineless coward GOP RINOs led by the sold out to Obama agenda John McCain, Lindsey graham, Mitch McConnell and Corker stand by Obamas lied and deceit of the American people and push forward conspiracy of the Obama regime and the Iranian regime by selling a fake tale story about changes of the Jihadist lying regime of Iran? Every American knows by now that the Mozlem Brother regime of Iran which sponsors terrorist organizations all over the world and is behind most of the killing of US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan is the worst enemy of the American people, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the rest of the world. Nevertheless, since his first day as president in early 2009 Obama was pushing the Iranian regime becoming nuke superpower in the Middle East. Obama promised Putin that after his re=-election in 2012 he will be flexible to change his policy towards the Iranian regime even if it will harm the national security of the American people. Obama as Mozlem Brother Scholar who studied the Mozlem Brother Jihadist culture of lies in Madrassa in Indonesia is pushing the entire Middle East to war as called by the Shariya laws of the Iranian regime. It is not surprising that Israel and France are not trusting Obamas lies about the Iranian regime changing his plan for new holocaust of the Jews and Christians and turning the world into nuclear disaster as called for by the Mozlem brother agenda

Being anti-zionist isn't being anti-semite.
You know it very well, but you play the race card for sympathy.
One is about Israel, the other about Judaism.
Criticising the state of Israel for its treatment of Palestinians has nothing to do with Judaism.
So save yourself making stupid short cut and ending looking like a complete idiot.
Beside, there is still freedom of speech in my country, and my comments are in no way offensive.
And if you don't want people to attack Israel, abstain yourself from insulting Arabs and Muslims.
#11 Nov 25, 2013
You just implied that because the Foreign Minister is a Jew he is working for Israel. That is antisemitism.
When you target Israel unjustly and continuously ignore the major world atrocities that makes you an anti-Semite. Look at the EU definition. Basically you have a double standard when it comes to Jews.
Your last sentence is interesting. Are you blaming 'people insulting Muslims' for the targeting of Israel?

Do you consider Muslims Disloyal?

Loyalty is personal and has nothing to do with race, religion etc unless religiously there is a direct commandment to act this way.
Sounds more like Islam than Judaism to me.

On the contrary, but I do feel that Zionists do have an agenda, and that they talk with a forked tongue.
Lets be frank here, Muslims are not disproportionately represented in the West, as are people of Jewish origin.
There is an agenda by the Zionist hegemony, and that agenda is being played out, day in day out.

What forked tongue? Don't you mean the Palestinians who in English are sometimes peaceful but in Arabic their whole society is based on the destruction of Israel.
examples of hatred throughout Palestinians society.
a whole website with thousands of examples of incitement from throughout Palestinians society.
Jews don't stand for their bretheren didn't the Holocaust already teach you this. During the Holocaust while millions of Jews in Europe were being exterminated the US Jews stayed quiet, those who tried were often shut down by the Jewish leaders and orgs. Jews always disagree on things.
Look at Dershowitz-Finkelstein
Most Jews in the world IMO and experience work in their political interests. Most US Jews for example are democrats even if it makes no sense for them and especially for Israel.
Just because Jews seem to succeed more than most are you saying this is a reason to target them??
Muslims have left wing extremists representing them very often especially throughout Europe. They don't need to stand for gov as they are appeased from all directions.
Try speaking up against Jews in Europe and see what happens. Then try speaking up against Political Islam. If Jews were so powerful as many here claim then Israel would not be in the situation it is and antisemitism in the West would be much lower and be dealt with.
Try wearing a Jewish symbol in much of Europe for example and you are in danger for your life. nothing has changed even the Holocaust didn't teach anything and Israel is used to deflect and sometimes even try to justify the targeting of Jews in Europe.
Why do you group all Jews as one?? Most Jews have nothing to do with Judaism and are not particularly wealthy or powerful.

Ricky Byrd
I received an email from Ricky Byrd (former guitarist Joan Jett). He asked me to send the direct link of the article from our interview because he would like to add the article to his web site! (www.rickybyrd.com)
Ricky Byrd
I interviewed Ricky Byrd this afternoon. He was lead guitarist for Joan Jett for many years then branched off to work with other incredible artists and musicians such as Roger Daltrey, Ian Hunter and many more. We talked about his love of the guitar, his new CD that will be released soon and his thoughts about life, music and longevity in an ever changing industry.

Bottle Redemption Center Opens in North Adams
A new bottle redemption center opened Tuesday on Mass. Avenue. Top, Joseph Cantoni, left, poses with workers Justin McCarthy, Laura LaCosse and Arthur Mongeau. Behind them are owner David Moresi and office manager Carolyn Meaney.
The North Adams Container Redemption Center will accept aluminum juice and iced tea containers and plastic water bottles along with deposit cans and bottles.
"We think there's a market for this," said owner David Moresi, who purchased the former Ravel Technologies building from Bard Properties Corp. "There are no redemption centers in North Adams or Williamstown. ... Plus, we're stressing the green component [by taking recyclables]."
If the state ever changes its bottle redemption laws — the governor supports expanding it to juices and sports drinks — the center will be prepared.
The site is conveniently located between Williamstown and North Adams, Moresi said, with easy access and parking.
The building has been renovated by Moresi & Associates and now houses the company's offices, space for leasing and the 600-square-foot redemption center.
The center has a new tile floor, fresh white walls and bright green moldings around the doors and windows. Behind the customer counter is a sorting area and loading dock for bottle pickups.
Berkshire Family and Individual Resources has been contracted to operate the center. That's providing jobs for participants in BFAIR's Arcadia Employment Services, a specialized employment agency for the disabled.
BFAIR had operated a redemption center in the former Registry of Motor Vehicle building on Curran Highway. Center manager Joseph Cantoni said the site was not as suitable as the new location.
Residents can help make the process go faster by separating brands as much as possible and having a count ahead, said Cantoni, although the staff is ready sort and count. Cans and bottles should also be clean and rinsed out.
"We're not a trash operation," stressed Moresi.
In addition to helping conserve through recycling, residents can help out their favorite charities and organizations by donating deposits. Nonprofits can have redemption accounts set up at the center; each time their donations reach $50, they'll be sent a check. Organizations with accounts will have their names posted on the center's wall.
The redemption center's hours are Tuesday through Friday from 10 to 3, Saturdays from 9 to 2 and closed Mondays.

Crafts and activities tables are a festival staple. Back by popular demand is the Lake State Student Nurses Association's Doc McStuffins table, as well as tables sponsored by the English Club, Kappa Delta Pi honor society, Creative Writing faculty, and other groups and organizations.
Several arts performances are new and returning. The LSSU Choir, headed by Karen Hughes Beacom, will lead children in songs from Disney stories. Lake State Dance and the Academy of Performing Arts will perform book-themed dances for kids, and there will also be a theatrical performance of a Shakespeare scene for kids with sword action. All performance events are in the Erie and Huron Rooms.
Adults and children interested in creative writing will also find activities at the festival. Winners of the Festival's Quest Writing Contest will be announced at 12:30 p.m. At 2:30 p.m. children and families can take part in a Writing Workshop for Kids and Teens in the Anchor Room. All skill levels are welcome and supplies will be provided.
Also, throughout the morning until 1 p.m., Festival participants will be able to read and vote on their favorite entries to determine the finalists for The Superior Writing Prize, with prizewinners announced at 3 p.m.
The Superior Writing Prize is a contest open to people living in northern Ontario, Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and the Northern Mitten counties of Emmet, Cheboygan, Presque Isle, Charlevoix, Antrim, Otsego, Montmorency, and Alpena.
The Superior Writing Prize has awards for best picture book and most promising middle-grade/young adult novel opening. Entries in both categories must not exceed two pages - or 1,000 words - in length. Eligible writers can send up to two entries in each category to email@example.com, and must include an address so eligibility can be confirmed. The deadline is Thursday, November 5th. There is no fee to enter these contests.
The festival's Quest Writing Contest is this year's elementary school writing contest. Each year, in conjunction with the festival, elementary education candidates in LSSU Professor McMyne's literacy and language arts methods course design, coordinate, and judge a creative writing contest for elementary school students. The contest's goal is to foster a deeper love and appreciation for all types of reading and writing abilities through imaginative and meaningful activities. More information about this contest can be found by running a Web search on "Lake Superior State University department of English," and reading what is posted on its page.
Tying into this theme of quest, the Michigan Room will feature a special Questing Completion Center for kids. Festivalgoers will be given instructions on fun quests they can complete throughout the day and will receive rewards for completed quests.
"The purpose of the Superior Children's Book Festival is to promote books and reading to local children and families in the Upper Peninsula, to serve as a bridge between Lake Superior State University and the local community, and to support Michigan authors," says festival coordinator Janice Repka and Chair of Lake State's School of Arts and Letters.
Repka is a noted children's author herself. Her humorous children's books include, The Stupendous Dodgeball Fiasco, which was a Junior Library Guild selection and a 2008 Nebraska Golden Sower Award Honor Book, and The Clueless Girl's Guide to being a Genius, a Scholastic Book Club pick.
The Superior Children's Book Festival is the only children's book festival held in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The festival was created in 2012 as a collaborative effort between Bayliss Public Library, an affiliate of Superior District Library, and Lake Superior State University.
This festival is sponsored in part by a grant from the Michigan Humanities Council, an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. It has also been made possible by a grant from the Lake Superior State University Cultural Affairs Committee. Follow "Superior Children's Book Festival" on Facebook for all the latest information.

Colin Powell was chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in 1993 when the infamous,"don't ask, don't tell" policy was initiated in the US military to deal with issues of gays and lesbians. Powell subsequently served as Secretary of State under Republican George Bush which, supposedly, should earn him the respect of Republicans. No more incorrect words could be written. Powell issued a statement to the American people: "In the all most 17 years since the "don't ask, don't tell", policy was passed, attitudes and circumstances have changed. I fully support the new approaches presented to the Senate Armed Services Committee this week." Powell, like this author who spent his adolescent years in New York City going to Greenwich Village to "beat up fags, " we have grown up, matured, recognized the brutality and stupidity of former years and now respect the right of all Americans to be who they are.
Unfortunately, most Republicans in Congress still ramble on about the "threat" to America posed by acknowledging reality-there are gays and lesbians NOW SERVING IN THE MILITARY AND DAILY RISKING THEIR LIVES. If Rush Limbaugh is so hot about this issue, why not enlist in the military and serve the country he has never served?

In this occasional feature, the National Post tells you everything you need to know about a complicated issue. Today, Tamsin McMahon examines changes to the Criminal Code, reintroduced by the government on Tuesday, that would broaden the powers of citizen's arrest and self-defence:
What's wrong with the existing laws?
The laws around self-defence, citizen's arrest and property defence have been repeatedly attacked by the courts as being difficult to interpret, particularly for juries trying to grapple with such morally ambiguous subjects as when it's justifiable to kill another person. Defence lawyers say the complexity of Canada's defence laws have led to a proliferation of charges against homeowners defending themselves against burglars and shopkeepers who have gone after shoplifters. As many as 10 verdicts are overturned every year in Canada because a judge or jury misinterpreted the defence provisions in the Criminal Code, according to Queen's University law professor Don Stuart. At least two judges, including Supreme Court of Canada nominee Justice Michael Moldaver, have urged the government in their rulings to update the laws.
What is driving this?
Immigration Minister Jason Kenney dubbed the legislation the "Lucky Moose Bill" on Twitter Tuesday after the grocery store in Toronto's downtown Chinatown that became a flashpoint for the issue last year. The store's owner, David Chen, became a local hero when he charged with assault and forcible confinement after tying up a repeat shoplifter. The case prompted a flurry of media attention about similar cases, including Taber, Alta.'s Joe Singleton, who was charged with assault with a weapon and assault causing bodily harm after he struck an intruder in the face with the blunt end of a hatchet. Burton, N.B.'s Lawrence Manzer faced firearms charges after used his unloaded shotgun to help a neighbour catch three intoxicated teens who were trespassing on his property late at night. All three men were eventually cleared, but Ian Thomson of Port Colborne, Ont., continues to face firearms charges after firing a legally owned pistol at three masked men who were firebombing his home late last year.
What changes are the government proposing?
The law tabled in the House of Commons on Tuesday is identical to one the government introduced in March, but which died during the federal election. The most significant change is to Canada's citizen's arrest law, allowing someone to arrest a criminal "within a reasonable time" after a crime has been committed or attempted. The legislation would also simplify Canada's long and complex sections of self-defence and defence of property, making it clear that citizens can use as much force as necessary, including deadly force, to protect themselves and their property as long as the force is "reasonable." It lays out a long list of factors for courts to consider when deciding on reasonable force, including the age, size and gender of the victim and the offender and their relationship history. "Everyone I speak to in this area, they are unanimous that it's not just the public who have difficulty understanding what can and can't be done, but law enforcement agents, lawyers and the courts have difficultly dealing with all the sections," Justice Minister Rob Nicholson said in an interview Tuesday. "What we want to do for the first time in well over a century is to make it clear what people can and can't do."
What do the critics think?
Critics say the new rules could encourage citizens to take the law into their own hands instead of calling police, while those on the other side of the issue, mainly defence lawyers, say the laws don't go far enough. They argue the federal government should more explicitly give Canadians the right to "stand their ground" when it comes to defending their property, similar to the Castle Doctrine common in the United States. Defence lawyers say such wording would cut down on charges by putting the onus on prosecutors to prove that someone wasn't acting reasonably when they injured or killed an intruder. Mr. Nicholson dismissed the criticisms, saying the vigilantism risk is low because the law puts limits on when and how someone can make a citizen's arrest, including a ban on deadly force. He said the new legislation is strong enough when it comes to giving property owners the right to defend themselves. "I think the bill is clear … people can take reasonable steps including force to protect themselves and protect their property," he said. NDP justice critic Jack Harris said the party supports the changes, which echo in part a private member's bill by Olivia Chow. "We support the notion of enhancing the power of citizen's arrest in principle, but we want to look very carefully at what this actually does," he said

BRANDON — In a span of two seventh-inning pitches Thursday, reed-thin Jefferson ace Jimmy Herget nearly lost his pitching hand and did lose his mouthpiece.
But his masterpiece never got away from him.
In one of the most brilliant complete games in recent Saladino Tournament memory, the 6-foot-3, 155-pound USF signee tossed an 82-pitch one-hitter to lift the Dragons (11-3) to a 2-1 semifinal triumph against Newsome.
In the process, Herget helped avenge a loss to the Wolves — by the same score — in last year's Saladino title game, and cemented his case for a second consecutive tournament MVP award. In 10 tourney innings, Herget has allowed four hits and one earned run, striking out 16.
"The fire in my stomach from last year, us losing to them, I just went out and tried to put everything on the line, just everything," said Herget, who didn't pitch in the 2011 final.
"I just love it. It's great."
Three days after working three shutout innings against Hillsborough, Herget struck out nine, retired the first nine batters he faced, and forced seven ground-ball outs.
He got all the offense he needed when the Dragons scored two third-inning runs off two hits and three walks. Peter Cordero's bases-loaded walk drove in the decisive run.
"It was his best game of the year," said Dragons coach Pop Cuesta, who seeks his second career Saladino title at 7 tonight. "He pitched very well, spotted the ball, moved it around, did a great job for us."
Newsome scored its lone run in the fourth when Erik Dowse led off with a single, moved to second on Tyler Packanik's sacrifice bunt, stole third, and scored on Alex Kerr's sacrifice fly to right. Otherwise, the Wolves were stymied alternately by Herget and his defense.
On consecutive second-inning plays, Cordero — the catcher — raced to snag a high foul ball inches from his dugout, and third baseman Corbin Olmstead speared a hard shot down the line and threw out Daulton Donini by less than a step.
But Herget trumped them all when he instinctively caught Packanik's liner back to the mound with his pitching hand. After losing his mouthpiece on his next throw, Herget fanned the next two batters to end the game.
"I walked out to the mound to make sure he was okay, but I knew what he was going to tell me," Cuesta said. "If it was broken he was going to tell me it's okay."

What is CIN?
Most women who have a cervical screening test have a normal result. However, "for around one in 20 women, the test shows changes in cells (NHS Cervical Screening leaflet, 'Cervical screening – the facts', March 2013). An abnormal result is not unusual. The screening report may describe the changes as abnormal cells as dyskaryosis or dysplasia. This means that some cells of the cervix (the neck of the womb) show changes that may need further investigation. Often such changes can be due to inflammation or infection. It is important to remember that it is extremely rare for an abnormality found at screening to be cancer.
The transformation zone is an area of the cervix where abnormal cells most commonly develop; they can be detected by cervical screening and colposcopy. Two different cervical cell types can become abnormal. The inside of the cervix (endocervix) is lined by glandular cells. The outside of the cervix (ectocervix) is lined by squamous cells. When abnormalities are diagnosed in the squamous cells (after further tests), these abnormalities are known as CIN. Abnormal cells can also develop in the inner part of the cervix (see 'What is CGIN?') but it is far more common for them to develop in the squamous cells. "Around 7-8 out of 10 cervical cancers (70-80%) are squamous cell cancer" (Cancer Research UK 2014).
CIN stands for Cervical Intra-epithelial Neoplasia – which means abnormal cells found on the surface of the cervix.

A cervical screening test (smear) can show that abnormal cells are present, but it can't always show how deeply the abnormal cells go into the cervix. In order to diagnose and find the grade of the CIN, further tests may be needed on samples (biopsies) of the abnormal areas of the cervix. The biopsies are looked at under a microscope to find the grade of the CIN. This helps the doctor to decide on the most appropriate type of treatment.
CIN is divided into grades, which describe how far the abnormal cells have gone into the surface layer of the cervix. The cell changes can be classed as CIN1, 2 or 3. This classification is used to indicate how much of the cervix is affected by abnormal cells. The higher the number, the more of the cervix is affected and so treatment is given to remove the cells. CIN1 often goes back to normal without treatment but a repeat cervical screening test (smear) is needed to check that the cells have gone. Treatment is usually given to remove CIN2 or CIN3 abnormal cells, also called moderate or severe dyskaryosis or dysplasia (see 'Treatments and their impacts').
CIN1 – indicates mild changes; affecting only one-third of the thickness of the surface layer of the cervix. These changes are not cancer, and in most cases do not lead to cancer in the future.
CIN2 – indicates moderate changes; affecting two-thirds of the thickness of the surface layer of the cervix.
CIN3 – indicates more severe changes (not cancer); affecting the full thickness of the surface layer of the cervix.
Even with CIN2 or CIN3 grade changes, it is unlikely that a woman has cancer (NHS Cancer Screening leaflet, 'Cervical Screening: what your abnormal result means', 2012).
- Sex:
- Female
- Background:
- Dr. Adeola Olaitan is a consultant gynaecological oncologist at University College London Hospital.
So you reassure them [women] that it's not cancer?
Can CIN3 develop into cervical cancer?
CIN3 is not cancer of the cervix, but it is important to treat CIN3 as soon as possible. CIN3 may be referred to as severe dyskaryosis or severe dysplasia. Less commonly, it is called carcinoma-in-situ, though this term is rarely used these days.
CIN1, 2 and 3 rarely cause any symptoms, such as pain, discharge or bleeding. This is why women who do experience any or all of these symptoms should attend for cervical screening or see a doctor.

text: I have a 96 Eldo, just diagnosed with bad head gasket. Code PC0300 (misfire) pointed to cyl #7, plug was fouled with coolant (per shop). Shop says the GM "book" calls for an 18 hour pull-engine repair (not counting complications). Head gaskets were replaced and engine mostly rebuilt at 60K miles (now 110K) by a Cad dealer (under warranty). That time, I had overheating and lots of symptoms. Now, only the code and rough running, no overheating, and minimal coolant loss. Can I fix this without pulling the engine? I've read the threads, and removing the engine seems a foregone conclusion, but I don't have the facilities to do that. Is on-car repair doable? Thanks

Displaced families in Balkh demand winter aid
Displaced families in Balkh demand winter aid
MAZAR-I-SHARIF (PAN): A number of refugees in northern Balkh province said on Tuesday they were not helped by anyone in harsh winter months, but the Department of Refugee and Repatriation Affairs claimed assisting the needy families.
Several foreign aid agencies had provided winter aid to almost 2,000 deserving households across the province, Balkh Director of Refugee and Repatriation Affairs Abdul Saboor Qadri told Pajhwok Afghan News.
The aid was provided by the United Nation High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), World Food Program (WFP) and a number of other organisations, he said, adding the vulnerable families were provided blankets, food items, plastic sheets and dinner sets.
But the refugees insisted they were not provided with adequate aid. They were displaced from Albarz Mountains due to drought and settled in Deh Dadi district, but the government had extended no help to them, said a refugee leader, Baz Muhammad. Of the 480 refugee families living in the area, only 163 households had received winter aid, he said.
The government gave them some assistance four months ago, said Agha Mohammad, another refugee from the district. He demanded winter provision of winter aid, including food items and warm clothing. mas
