Ana moved into the third round of the Qatar Total Open in Doha when her opponent Simona Halep retired at the end of the first set. Ana was leading 6-3 at the time.
Ana made a slow start - she was broken in the opening game. But she quickly found her form and broke twice in succession to lead 3-1.
She dominated with her forehand. What seemed to be a back injury forced the Romanian to retire after Ana clinched the opening set 6-3.
On Thursday Ana will take on fourth seed and world No.4 Agnieszka Radwanska in the third round. It will be the ninth meeting between the pair and Radwanska leads the head-to-head series 5-3.
Most recently, the Pole defeated Ana 6-2, 6-4 at January's Australian Open.
The match is scheduled to take place at 3.30pm local time (1.30pm Central European Time; 7.30am Eastern Time). Click here for live point-by-point scoring from the Khalifa Tennis Complex.

Luiz Razia insists he bears no grudges against Marussia after being dropped by the team for failing to pay for his seat.
Signed two days into the first pre-season test in February, Razia spent just two days in the Marussia before sitting out the second test after his sponsors failed to pay up.
The Brazilian, though, was confident that the "conflict" would be resolved in a "few days."
But instead of that happening, Razia found himself without a 2013 race seat as Marussia sacked the 23-year-old on Friday when the funds were not forthcoming.
"I'm in a kind of shock, because you expect to be in F1, you are there, announced, testing, and then you are out - and not because of a driver fault," he told Autosport.
"I did everything right in what I could do, but it was really just a circumstantial thing that happened, and that was it.
"But I still am here. My career is still shining and I can overcome this difficult situation. It is just something that has happened to me. Sometimes life does this to you.
"My main goal is to be in F1, so all my effort is there. I am now without any grounds, but I will go with my family, and we will be sad for a while, but I will get back to the category.
"I was there two weeks ago, and I didn't feel I shouldn't be there for this season."
The 2012 GP2 runner-up insisted he won't hold his axing against Marussia as the team, who previously parted ways with Timo Glock over money, were just doing what they needed to do. The team has already announced Jules Bianchi as Razia's replacement.
"I could be angry. I could be very selfish, but I am not. I am really tolerant with these things.
"I understand the position of Marussia and I like the team. They treated me very nicely there and, to be honest, they were trying to sort out the situation for me.
"They chose me because they wanted me there in the first place, so there are no hard feelings.
"It is also fair to say that Bianchi had a difficult situation and, to be honest, he deserved the drive."

Here are seven occasions when weather may have changed the course of American history.
If it hadn't been so cold in 1604 . . .
New Englanders might speak French. French explorers under the Sieur de Monts were the first to establish a colony on the North Atlantic coast, on an island in the St. Croix River in 1604. But the winter was so "cold and dreadful" that the little group decided to move to a more sheltered spot in Nova Scotia. The first English settlement, near the mouth of the Kennebec River in Maine, was also abandoned after the fierce winter of 1607-08.
If it hadn't been so warm in 1620 . . .
The Pilgrims might not have survived their first winter in Massachusetts. That winter of 1620-21 was described as "a calm winter such as never seen here since," with mild temperatures and only one substantial snowstorm. Even so, only 50 of the 102 settlers lived until spring.
If it hadn't been so foggy on August 29, 1776 . . .
George Washington and most of the Continental Army might have been annihilated at the Battle of Long Island. After British troops won a smashing victory on August 27, 1776, the Americans were trapped at the western end of Long Island. Washington managed to save his army by crossing the East River to Manhattan Island under cover of a thick fog on August 29-30. Though he had suffered a defeat, Washington had reserved his army as a fighting force.
If it hadn't been so stormy on October 16, 1781 . . .
British commander Lord Cornwallis might have escaped from Yorktown to prolong the Revolutionary War. On the night of October 16-17, 1781, Cornwallis proposed to evacuate his trapped army across the York River estuary on flatboats, then fight his way north to join British forces in New York. But in the middle of the crossing, a violent thunderstorm dispersed the flatboats, pushing some of them five miles downriver where they were captured by the French. The crossing had to be abandoned, and "thus expired the last hope of the British army," according to one of its officers. Cornwallis surrendered on October 19, assuring American independence.
If it hadn't rained on July 4, 1863 . . .
General Robert E. Lee's Confederate Army might have suffered worse losses, or even been destroyed, in the aftermath of Gettysburg. The great battle took place July 1-3, 1863, and on the last day, Pickett's Charge, the Confederates' final assault on the Union lines was repulsed with enormous losses. Lee expected Union General George Meade to counterattack, but Meade hesitated. Rain began to fall on the night of the third and continued throughout July 4. Under cover of the rain and darkness that night, Lee began his retreat to Virginia. Despite President Lincoln's frantic urgings, Meade was slow to pursue the battered rebels, and the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia escaped intact to fight on for another 21 months.
If it had snowed harder on November 7, 1916 . . .
President Woodrow Wilson might have lost his reelection bid in 1916. In one of the closest elections in history, Democratic incumbent Wilson defeated Republican Charles Evans Hughes and went on to take the United States into World War I in 1917. Wilson won the state of California by less than 2,000 votes on a day when heavy snow kept Democratic turnout low in mountain counties. Had the storm been worse, Hughes would have won the state and the national election. America probably would have entered the war anyway; Wilson had been regarded as the peace candidate. But as historian Paul F. Boller Jr. said, Wilson "made world pacification. . .the primary objective of American foreign policy," a position that has shaped our history and the world's—ever since.
If there hadn't been a freeze on January 28, 1986 . . .
The Challenger disaster might have been avoided. The space shuttle exploded shortly after takeoff from Cape Canaveral, Florida, killing seven astronauts, including Concord, N.H. schoolteacher Christa McAuliffe. Investigation showed that a sudden temperature drop the night before the launch had caused rings sealing the joints between segments of the solid-fuel booster rockets to become brittle and fail. The disaster forced a temporary halt in the U.S. space program, which has since been dogged by technical troubles and doubts about its cost and benefits.

Retire Squad Numbers, im not going to use number 14 after Henry retires
can you imagine if real madrid, liverpool, manyoo, brazil retired a number every time a world class player wore it? just absolutely silly.
Teams actually do this in real life. I personally don't see any benefit of having this option in the game but it definitely can happen in real life.
and Henrys the only player i would do it for. Also, i wouldnt do it if it was number 1-11, but as 14 is a higher number, it wouldnt really matter.
As long as it's easy to implement then I don't see any reason why this can't be in the game in some form. As I've said it's rare but it definitely does happen in real life. For example AC Milan have retired Baresi's number 6 shirt and they plan to do the same with Maldini's shirt when he retires.

I have designed and built two, I scaled down from existing lifts. In the end it would be so much cheaper to find one used and modify it.
Take a good look at the pics both show the cylinder pushing to the rear of the truck. Not shown is that the lift point is about 1/3 back from the front of the bed.
Biggest mistake is to under size the hinge at the rear. Next would having it lift to high, you don't want it to open much past 85* or less on a short wheelbase truck, especially on a truck with a small(light) motor. Danger of tipping the truck over backwards.
All the info you need is in the pics posted above.
Oh and if the frame on the dump bed is not ridged enough and you go to lift an uneven load (say very heavy in the left front and light in the right rear) then the dump box twists and the whole thing rips apart at the hinge at the rear, or at the connection of the lift to the frame rails. Then you end up with the load and the truck tipped over sideways.
Last bit O caution using the wrong cylinder (undersized) and the cylinder rod bends about half way up then comes crashing back putting a huge hole in the gas tank.
Last one (homemade) dump bed trailer I fixed netted me about $9000.00 they make great winter projects.
Good Luck be safe have fun.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!!!
That was exactly the type of dump I was looking for! I was wondering if you have the specs for it?
Measurements, cylinder size, pump size?

these were mounted on gm 5500 4x4 landscaping trucks ...if i had all the exact specs (which i probably dont) i'm not sure that they would help you all that much because you said you're workin on a 1/4 ton toyota..you have to scale it down a bit..cylinder and pump size depending on the size and weight of your finished box. It can be tricky to find the exact place to mount the scissor...i can send you some more pics if you want..i dont think i can resize them on this old computer and they are too big to post here. i could estimate some measurements if you think it would help..do you have any pictures of the truck as it sits now?
I'd love to get some more pictures and a rough guess on the sizes so I can scale it down.
I sent you my e-mail to send it to.
Thanks again!

Dump plans
During the early dumping the steering still worked.
80's Mother Earth news made a dump bed on a half ton pickup, all I remember is that it had two lift cylinders mounted outside of the frame rails and used the trucks power steering box for hydraulic power. They used a three way valve so that when it was not dumping the steering still worked. They added a larger reservoir to the pump .

text: The NHL Draft is a day that most Islander fans look forward to picking a great new prospect, generally within the first 5 picks. However, this year's draft was a bit different, as they picked 15th overall. This makes general manager Garth Snow's job harder due to the fact that he isn't picking from can't-miss guys. Did he make the right pick? We'll discuss everything that went down on draft day, but we'll start with arguably the most important move- the trading of Nino Niederreiter.

From $34,345
Ready to test the limits of how far electric cars can take you?
With its ingenious propulsion system, unlike traditional hybrid cars, Volt lets you drive on pure electricity for your everyday commute and seamlessly switches to gasoline for longer trips. In fact, owners who charge regularly are averaging more than 900 miles between fill-ups.†
In just four years, Volt has earned more accolades and more "best buy" awards than any other electric cars on the planet. No wonder it's America's best selling plug-in.†
Volt takes gas as well as electricity, but don't think you'll be spending much time at the pump. On a full charge, Volt can get an EPA-estimated 38 miles gas-free† , and Volt owners who charge regularly average 900 miles between fill-ups.†
This isn't just a car for the commute. When the gas-powered generator kicks in, producing electricity to power the engine, the range of Volt extends to an EPA-estimated 380 miles with a full charge and a full tank of gas.†
Let's not forget what is truly important. Volt provides you with an exhilarating drive. 273 lb.-ft. of torque, a track-tested top speed of 100 mph and four versatile driving modes make it clear that driving electric doesn't mean sacrificing performance.
Volt is designed to look like a car, and a good-looking one at that. Bold lines, complementing an aggressive posture, are sculpted with powerful purpose.
This smooth exterior contributes to the quick and agile performance.
When it comes to Volt, form and function unite to create a vehicle that's sporty, quick, smooth and modern, yet it achieves an extremely low drag coefficient. Countless hours in the wind tunnel influenced the styling of many exterior components including mirrors, a closed grille, rocker panels and the rear spoiler.
As it slices through the air, Volt can travel up to an EPA-estimated 38 miles† in EV mode without using a single drop of gas. Plus, Volt uses its gas-powered generator to travel up to 380 miles on a full charge and tank of gas†, so you won't have to worry about being stranded in this car.
Just like the exterior, Volt has an interior with a flow of its own. This unique cockpit-inspired design incorporates a full center console and four sporty bucket seats. Surrounding the passengers are the latest innovations. There are two interactive 7-inch diagonal color LCD screens: the Driver Information Center behind the steering wheel and the center panel touch-screen with efficiency feedback, driving mode selections, available rear camera display and entertainment options.
The interior color combinations are striking. Choose from standard Premium Cloth in Jet Black or Pebble Beige, or take advantage of the available heated leather-appointed seats, sharply styled in Jet Black with Dark Argent or Ceramic White accents, or Pebble Beige with sueded inserts. See the complete list of features and specs.
Inside, there's a place for everything: cup holders, storage bins, door panel storage, and even little bonuses like the umbrella pocket and a space for the standard 120V charging cord.
Get incredible sound from an available seven-speaker Bose® audio system with subwoofer that's 30% smaller, 40% lighter and uses 50% less energy than comparable Bose® systems.
For less than the cost of a latte, you can fully charge your Volt and drive an EPA-estimated 38 miles gas-free.† Choose a standard 120V charging unit† that allows you to fully charge the battery in about 10 to 16 hours.† Or opt for an available 240V charging station that cuts down your charging time to approximately four hours. Professional installation required. For more information, visit Bosch Automotive Service Solutions.
If you can drive, you can drive a Volt. Instead of turning a key, you push a blue button. Rather than looking at dials and needles, you check two interactive LCD screens for feedback. Seamlessly switch between four driving modes to best suit your driving style.
Even the simple act of braking has been taken to the next level with regenerative braking, which captures some of the energy usually lost during braking and converts it to electricity that's stored in the battery.
Without a traditional transmission, 273 lb.-ft. of low-end torque has nowhere to go except to the tires and pavement. And with the ability to hit a test-track speed of 100 mph, it all adds up to show how a vehicle with an electric propulsion system can feel so powerfully exhilarating.
The efficiency gauge and two energy feedback screens provide a quick glance at how adeptly you're driving. In the center stack, the 7-inch diagonal color touch-screen displays energy usage and power. Located lower on the center stack is the button for selecting your preferred drive mode.
What happens when Chevrolet Volt and BMW i3 REx go head to head? David Noland, Volt owner, and Tom Moloughney, BMW i3 REx owner, traded cars for a day to see exactly how the two range-extended electric rides would match up. The results just might surprise you.
The default mode. Volt uses the energy stored in the battery before seamlessly transitioning to the gas-powered generator, operating smoothly for most driving scenarios.
Sport mode delivers heightened responsiveness and feedback. Select Sport mode if you desire more aggressive acceleration, although the car's efficiency may be reduced slightly compared to Normal mode.
Switch to Mountain mode before climbing steep grades. Volt will maintain a power reserve for the climb.
Put the battery on hold for highway commutes. This mode powers Volt with the gas-powered generator instead of the battery, saving your electric range for the pace of stop-and-go city traffic.
New for 2015, Volt has available OnStar 4G LTE Wi-Fi connectivity†, delivering a more powerful connection than your smartphone.
The 7-inch diagonal LCD touch-screen of Chevrolet MyLink Radio† is your direct source for entertainment. Access Pandora® Internet Radio†, Stitcher SmartRadio™†, SiriusXM Satellite Radio†, or organize your music library with Gracenote®. Safely receive Text Message Alerts† and have your incoming messages read aloud for you. Just be sure you text and drive only with the voice system, and never text using a handheld while driving. Use the available navigation system with three trial months of available SiriusXM NavTraffic† or use Turn-by-Turn Navigation, standard for three years with the OnStar Directions & Connections Plan.†
Siri Eyes Free† lets you keep your hands on the steering wheel and your eyes on the road while you access your compatible iPhone. Just connect your compatible iPhone to your Chevrolet MyLink Radio using Bluetooth® wireless technology†.
Chevrolet services are always at your fingertips. Within the app you can contact roadside assistance, schedule service and access vehicle information at the push of a button. Read your owner's manual directly from your smartphone and really get to know Volt.
OnStar RemoteLink†
Check the battery level and charge mode of your Volt right on your smartphone. Schedule a time for your charge to be completed and receive alerts that tell you when your battery is fully charged or when you have forgotten to plug in. This app also lets you contact an OnStar Advisor, lock or unlock your doors, and precondition your Volt from almost anywhere you have cell phone service.
When it comes to safety, there's no mistaking that Volt has raised the bar. The 2014 Volt received a 5-Star Overall Score for Safety from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.† This accolade speaks volumes.
Throughout the Volt interior, eight air bags† are hidden. StabiliTrak® Electronic Stability Control System with Traction Control also comes standard and is there to help keep your steering on course in case of adverse conditions.
OnStar is standard for three years. Volt automatically relays crucial information to the OnStar Command Center via OnStar Automatic Crash Response.† There, trained OnStar Advisors utilize GPS technology to pinpoint your exact location and can request that assistance be sent right away – even if you're unable to respond.
Your drive begins with the aid of an available rear vision camera that alerts you to certain obstacles when traveling in reverse at low speeds. With available Forward Collision Alert†, a forward-facing camera alerts you of slowing vehicles while available Lane Departure Warning† monitors lane markings and warns you if you are drifting out of your lane without signaling. When you reach your destination, available Park Assist will help you park your Volt, finishing your trip stress-free.
Safety features are no substitute for the driver's responsibility to operate the vehicle in a safe manner. The driver should remain attentive to traffic, surroundings and road conditions at all times. Read the vehicle's owner's manual for more important safety information.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has named Volt a 2015 Top Safety Pick in its Small Car segment. In IIHS testing, Volt achieved a top rating of "Good" in the moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint tests. With Volt, protection comes standard. And with a brilliant combination of advanced safety features, intelligent passive safety, and cutting-edge technology, there's no mistaking that Volt has raised the bar.

Biggest problem with that is you're going to get the price shopper. That means the next guy who comes in cheaper is either going to get your work or you're going to have to drop your price to keep the work.
The second problem with that is the quality buyer is going to ignore you because you're not priced competively. They're going to figure you're going after the price shopper and your angle is cutting quality.
A lot of very smart and very rich businessmen have got there based upon selling it at what you're planning on making from the start.
I look at ornamental iron fence right now. Most of it is coming out of China and to be honest, the welder working in a small shop can't compete with it price wise and a lot of the time, quality wise. Companys are buying it by the container and it's the box store principles at work. Limited selection and cookie cutter installation.
The stuff comes in eight feet sections. Anyone with a sawsall or portaband can cut it to fit between posts. Anyone with a 110 volt mig can weld it in with flux core wire. The finish is powdercoat and that's five times more durable than paint, ten times more durable it it's done by a welder in a shop in his backyard.
A weldor can't pay his living expenses much less keeping equipment and insurance up on what you make at that price doing it that way. If you're making it all yourself you'll find yourself better off just handing the client money and running for your life.
If you want to make a living doing that then you either have to do it faster and buy in larger quanities or find a product that they can't do. I got sixty five dollars a foot a couple of years ago for three and a half foot fence in between six foot fences that were installed for less than twenty dollars a foot. Mine was one off and the client jumped on it because they could.
But I can't make a living just doing that kind of fence. That's because most clients don't want to pay four times as much for something that's custom made when they can get ornamental iron from a dozen sources a lot cheaper.
The welders with a nest on the ground usually have a group of clients that don't want to pay the price of having an in house welding work force. So they hire out the welding to contractors they can depend upon for quality and timely service. A weldor with three or four of these clients can do pretty good most of the time. This isn't a most of the time time but having old clients who need work occasionally comes in handy.

Here are a couple things to think about.
One is have a friend you trust call these other guys with a job you made up and get a quote from them to see where you are falling in with price. Some might think of this as sneaky but I see it as business. Target, Walmart, Best Buy ect all do this to each other and there is nothing wrong with it. I keep an excel spreadsheet with my competitions rates, so I know what I am playing against. My rates are not the cheapest or the most expensive.
Second thing is are these big projects with written quotes? If they are you might be missing the work on professionalism.
I recently got a job where I was the highest bidder because the customer felt I was the most professional and most competent.
One last thing, I have noticed there are a lot of bottom feeders out there, what I mean are guys (or gals) welding for chump change, recently there was a ad on Craigslist here that was advertising MIG, and ARC welding for $20 an hour and TIG for $25 an hour. You might be loosing some work to these bottom feeders.

Well I guess every one has their price they will settle for when times are hard!
So the prices you mentioned does that make people think the lowball bid that the persons work is just that Cheap or not experienced enough?
My bids are usually right with the other guys and I will admit higher at times
But at the same time I have had to drop my price in order to have work.
I have had to work for chump change also don't like doing it because they always expect it if they call you back but then that is also like working for an employer doing the same thing day In and day out for 12.00 an hour also
Hope that don't make me a bottom feeder when I have to work for CC Im just trying to pay the bills.
Ok so with out going through a total break down of cost and hourly rate if any of you want to comment on this I am just trying to get a broad scope of what you would charge
For lets say replacing the ball socket /tongue on a standard 16 utility trailer?? Just labor only.
That ball socket job on a trailer is about a 1hr or 1-1/2hr at most.$80-$140 dollars.Travel time not included in that price.BB402D

Most people would get a 50$ bill if they cart it in. Its something I could do normally in way under an hour. I cut some people some slack for little stuff if its easy. I did a repair the other day and I talk to this guy while I was doing it, was worked on before I got it. When it come time to pay I said, I get 75 per but this is a 100$ job. He had a grasp of the skill factor in this case, didnt piss a second.

If you depend on walkins you dont want to run them off, you want repair to be a viable option vs new but you don't want to leave money on the table either. Pricing takes experience and is both an art and science, not many get it right all the time.
People are all different, some people with real money are the biggest pizz and moan types and I am not shy with those, some that are poor and work hard don't blink and I am sensitive to that. I used to cut everyone a bit but now often price up a bit even if just to make extra 10 on something, usually don't make much of a deal to them but over several little things it adds up to you as the service provider.
For side work I really do more auto repair than welding anymore and I pretty much cherry pick customers and do what they need. I don't up sell useless work. One of my good types comes the other day wants some helper springs and new shocks on a pickup. I sell him the springs but tell him the shocks are fine, but I did sell him a broken exhaust bracket repair for extra 25 it took 10 minutes to fix, made easy few bucks but save the man a future exhaust so I don't rob him. They understand this and often drop car off and I make judgments about what it needs.
Had one other day with bad running, spark plug wire was at fault but didn't even call him and changed out plugs and wire set, while I was there I change out a belt that seen its better days and fix a piece of body trim. Charged 25 for looking at brakes (not a free inspection) and another 25 for general inspection, I just as soon make easy 25 and tell him they good to go for 20K yet, will get it back when it DOES need them. I charge for that look over but the customer benefits, he didn't buy anything he didn't need.

I gave these people a est. of 75.00 just for the ball socket and 25.00 for putting the new lift jack if they need it.
Now if they want me to salvage the old lift jack and reuse it, it would be 140.00 in labor
And that is if they bring it to me if I have to go to them then I charge a bit more just depending on the distance I have to travel usually they are some distance from me but usually not more than 50-60 miles.
But yet 3 out of five moaned and groaned one even e-mailed me back telling me no one could afford to pay that it to simple of a job to do so to speak wont use his way of wording it. But I just chalk him up as an idiot.
If i had to travel 60 miles thats about 45min.Another 60 on top of the price i said.Could i get this job done in under 1hr Yes if all goes good i could R/R that coupler in 45 min.Still would charge 1hr 80 bucks.Igot to cover my expenses,equipment wear,fuel,rods,"Insurance/liabilty" which many guys have none.And you can not compete with these guys out there in pu trucks with a bobcat welding at $50/hr, don,t even try.I wouldn,t even place myself in there league.I,m equiped a 100 times better for speed and quality of my work,and to look professional not some hack.BB402D

Not to be contrite; but why don't you simply tell the prospective customer that you guarantee to exceed your competitors, both in price and quality. Hard to beat satisfaction guaranteed..I know this is not some psychobabble...but it is how I base my business model. If I feel if I can't do the job better than anyone else I do not take it on. And the word "Better" is a relative term, meaning beat prices, overall satisfaction, higher standard of design, workmanship, time frame, many variables, etc...
And an also simple question to the prospectus.."what do I need to do to get your business?"

Let me see if I can give an opinion with out steping o toes.
Everyone is kinda bottom feeding now days.
Shops had their heads in the clouds and could pick and choose their work.
Now that the crunch is on, they are doing anything to stay alive.
For many years I made a good living taking on what big shops turned their nose up at. Yes, I was one of those that had a Bobcat in the back of a pickup truck. I charge $50.00 just to weld and repair. I've had to quit fabing because of steel prices.
Their is only so low you can go on pricing or sit at the house.
Lots of times a company will "hunt" someone to low ball something so they can throw it in someones face they want to do the work just to get a lower price or get you to quote a 1,000 peices, then come back and tell you they had to cut the order back and want 10 peices at the 1,000 peice price.
Times are hard and they are going to get worse for the "little" guys.

Window firm West Port pledges commitment to Maryport
Last updated at 12:05, Friday, 18 January 2013
One of Maryport's largest employers has pledged to stay in the town.
West Port, which employs 200 people at its Solway Industrial Estate factory, wants to expand in the town but managing director Sean Parnaby said the firm was being pushed to open a new plant near Workington.
West Port has been working with Allerdale council planners for two years to identify land to extend the factory. They found a site at Lillyhall, which could be developed quickly.
Mr Parnaby said he was disappointed with the findings, as he wanted to develop his firm in Maryport. He is already in talks to extend his existing lease.
He said Allerdale council was pushing West Port towards Lillyhall, because of a policy to have all manufacturing based there.
He said it could spell disaster for Maryport and that a proposal to build more houses in the town was pointless if there was no business development.
Mr Parnaby said: "It seems that the development policy for Allerdale is to have all manufacturing based in Lillyhall without a clear plan on how to develop areas such as Maryport.
"Without a forward plan for Maryport industrial estates they will become derelict and nobody will want to invest here.
"Building houses can only work if people have jobs.
"This is where we want to stay and where I will be fighting to stay. We certainly have no plans to move anywhere else in the near future."
Mr Parnaby said the firm's old factory was becoming unsuitable for the expanding business, but added: "We are one of the largest employers left in Maryport. We have a stable workforce. Why would we want to move from the town?"
Mr Parnaby said he was having discussions with Cumbria County Council and Allerdale council chief executive Harry Dyke to try to find a suitable town site for a new factory.
West Port is the UK's third largest manufacturer of bespoke timber-framed windows and doors.
Kevin Kerrigan, Allerdale council's head of development services, said Lillyhall was seen as a key strategic employment site, but the council wished to see employment land and development distributed across the district.
He added: "The emerging local plan for Allerdale seeks to enhance the role of Maryport as a key residential, employment and visitor centre and supports the refurbishment of existing employment sites such as the Glasson, Solway and Risehow industrial estates.
"The council and its partners will continue to work with West Port to secure the long term future of the business in Allerdale."
West Port recently won major contracts including a deal for a new Center Parcs site.

Have your say
Whats the point of having all the manufacturing / businesses all up at Lillyhall when there isn't even a mediocre transport network up to there. Most large business parks elsewhere have their own tram / train stops
Whats the correlation with houses in Maryport and jobs? Most people in Maryport do not work in the town, it because basically a domatory town (just like Cockermouth, Aspatria etc) - people want to live there but dont mind driving or catching the bus or train to Workington, Whitehavben, Sellafield etc

- people in the U.S. have this name View Jannett James on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
The meaning of this name is unavailable
|8,761st in the U.S.
English: from a personal name that has the same origin as Jacob. However, among English speakers, it is now felt to be a separate name in its own right. This is largely because in the Authorized Version of the Bible (1611) the form James is used in the New Testament as the name of two of Christ's apostles (James the brother of John and James the brother of Andrew), whereas in the Old Testament the brother of Esau is called Jacob. The form James comes from Latin Jacobus via Late Latin Jac(o)mus, which also gave rise to Jaime, the regular form of the name in Spanish (as opposed to the learned Jacobo). See also Jack and Jackman. This is a common surname throughout the British Isles, particularly in South Wales.

Just wanted to share my thoughts about the new layout at CP, I hope it is taken as constructive criticism.
The biggest improvement to the course, I think, is that there is much more variety to the holes, and most of them now have some character that the old layout was perceived to be lacking. Unfortunately, the flow of the course – the excessive walking distances between the basket and next teepad on quite a few of the holes – is a considerable offset to these improvements, in my opinion. However, I think that a big chunk of this problem could be remedied by making the following changes:
Scrap holes 6 and 7. They are both the type of holes that seemed to earn the original CP a lot of its negative feedback: nothing more than long, open holes with some elevation changes. (Okay, hole 7 does have the creek behind it on the approach, that does hold some appeal.) But my hunch is that anyone who has played these holes would not mourn their demise.
To replace them, first create a new hole 6 from somewhere around 5's basket to somewhere in the vicinity of 8's teepad (basket perhaps near current 7's teepad?). This hole does have the potential to be nothing more than one of those long open holes with an elevation change, but at least now you've condensed two consecutive holes like this into one. Second, create another new hole between what is currently 8 and 9 (old 5's fairway).
By doing this, I think the flow of the course improves dramatically. Two of these long idle hikes are now transformed into walks well spent by chucking a disc to get to the next hole. There is still the walk from 3 to 4 that is pretty extreme, but I'm not sure the distance and/or layout would accommodate another hole here. But this stretch could be another option for a replacement hole if one of the proposals I mention isn't workable.
Admittedly, I contributed zero to the actual work to get the course renovated, so these suggestions are merely suggestions. Not that I'm unwilling to help out going forward, but just that I wasn't involved in the project so I realize that I don't have a lot of ground to criticize the finished product.
Thanks and best of luck,

Santa Clara County, CA. Five residents of Santa Clara County have been infected with West Nile virus (WNV). Two residents had the more severe neuroinvasive form of the disease, West Nile encephalitis, one had West Nile fever, and two residents had no symptoms. Of the three people with symptoms, two were hospitalized and released, and one is currently hospitalized. All five Santa Clara County residents live in areas of the county with high WNV activity this year - see the map on page 2 or visit http://bit.ly/Y9MWLM, which shows fogging zones areas where mosquitoes infected with WNV have been detected. Unlike last year, when WNV activity in birds and mosquitoes was concentrated in Milpitas and East San Jose, this year WNV activity is concentrated in Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, Cupertino, Campbell, west and south San Jose.
"It is important to remember most people who get a mosquito bite will not become infected, will not develop symptoms and will not need to seek care," said Dr. Sara Cody, Health Officer for Santa Clara County. "But in some cases, West Nile can cause serious illness. To reduce the risk of West Nile, residents should take precautions to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes."
This year Santa Clara County has had an unusually large number of birds that died from WNV. At this time 648 dead birds infected with WNV have been reported in Santa Clara County (2014), which represents half of all the reported dead birds infected with WNV in California. 85% of the dead birds tested in the County this year were infected with WNV. Because of this situation, the risk of WNV in residents of Santa Clara County is likely to be higher than in previous years, especially over the next two months.
Last year there were two human cases of WNV; there was one case in 2011, which was fatal, one case in 2008, four in 2007, and five in 2006.
Physicians in Santa Clara County have been provided information regarding the symptoms of West Nile virus, how to diagnose the disease and to report suspected cases to the Public Health Department.
WNV is transmitted to humans and animals through the bite of an infected mosquito. The risk of becoming seriously ill is low for most people. Less than 1% of people can develop serious neurologic illness such as encephalitis or meningitis. People over the age of 50 have a higher chance of becoming ill. In addition, people with diabetes or hypertension have a greater risk of complications and serious illness.
After someone is bitten, the incubation period is generally 2 to 6 days, but it can be as many as 14 days. Most people are infected between June and September, when it is warm outside and mosquitoes are most active. People can take steps to protect themselves from contracting West Nile Virus, including:

Recipe by Stacy M. Polcyn
"This Thanksgiving stuffing is fantastic! It is very flavorful and fresh-tasting. This recipe will stuff a 10-pound turkey (which serves six) plus extra. I replaced the usual pork sausage with much healthier turkey sausage. Other dried fruits may also be used in place of cranberries."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 1/2 cups
cubed whole wheat bread
3 3/4 cups
cubed white bread
1 pound
ground turkey sausage
1 cup
chopped onion
3/4 cup
chopped celery
2 1/2 teaspoons
dried sage
1 1/2 teaspoons
dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon
dried thyme
Golden Delicious apple, cored and chopped
3/4 cup
dried cranberries
1/3 cup
minced fresh parsley
cooked turkey liver, finely chopped
3/4 cup
turkey stock
4 tablespoons
unsalted butter, melted
I've been making this recipe for a few years now, and since I started, it's demanded of me at every family get together. Like "Mommy of Four" I keep the dressing outside the turkey, and so compensate with extra broth. Make sure to spray your pan and keep it covered with foil! I've found that stirring it after it's baked for 30 minutes or so, helps it bake more evenly. The only other changes I make are to throw in a little chardonnay for flavor and to add an egg for a little extra hold. I've also found that sage pork sausage is much more flavorful (make sure to drain it after cooking however). I have a habit of not measuring, so more cranberries and herbs always find their way in. And I cannot emphasize the difference FRESH herbs make. Experiment with different kinds of bread as well! Sourdough and potato bread have yielded delicious results. I've had a few flavor variations, but every result was just as tasty as the last. This is my favorite recipe from this site.
Wow, this is the first time i've given a poor review. With all the rave reviews, I figured it would be a hit. I did a trial run 2 days prior due to I was going to make it for Thanksgiving. BOY am i sure glad i did. I followed the recipe almost to a T, and something was off. Definitely way too much meat. Not enough bread. My mom and granddad who were two of my taste testing guinea pigs (and my granddad who'll eat just about anything..if he's hungry) both disliked it. My mom stated it wasnt too bad, but could be eaten as a meal in itself with as much meat as there was in it. My grandad said the usual when he doesnt care for a dish, but doesnt want to hurt the cooks feelings, "Its alright". Maybe it is the fact that my family is so used to our traditional southern cornbread dressing, but NO ONE liked it. I think i'm sticking with my family tested and approved recipe.

I love this recipe and have made it for a couple of years now. I use cubed day-old Italian Ciabatta bread and omit the giblets (I use the giblets to flavor my basting liquids for my gravy) and it is simply wonderful. I prepare this stuffing one day in advance w/o baking it (although fully cook the sausage, of course). Since I stuff my bird with other things (like onion, garlic, rosemary, lemon and orange), I make this the night before, very lightly grease a casserole dish, drizzle a very small amount of butter (just a bit) on the top to keep it moist and RESERVE ALL THE LIQUIDS UNTIL READY TO BAKE, pop it in the fridge overnight. The next day, add the liquids (broth and melted butter) - I usually add more broth since I will not be baking it in my turkey, it will need more broth (use your judgment depending on how much you are making), bring it to room temperature and then heat it through for about 35-45 minutes, ovens vary, so just make sure it is hot when ready to serve. It's a wonderfully delicious stuffing and the only one I will ever make. Thank you for sharing!
I've used this several times for Thanksgiving (this is our Thanksgiving Only Stuffing) & everyone LOVES it. Follow this recipe to the T & use fresh herbs (remember to double them) for a really delicious flavoring. **I was just making my Thanksgiving list & thought I'd give some updated suggestions since I've been making this for 6 yrs. now. 1. I always use fresh herbs, the presentation, taste & aroma is wonderful! 2. I've tried different apples & have found that the granny smiths are the best, along with fuji & braeburn. 3. I can't always find turkey sausage links so one year I started using Turkey Kielbasa (I just chopped it up really fine with my food chopper) ~ outstanding! 4. I've made this w/ different types of bread. I really like the sourdough bread personally. I've found that somewhat stale baguettes are MUCH easier to work with, cause you can slice them up pretty easy w/o crust flying everywhere or w/o having to smoosh your sliced bread too much. (I usually cut the bread a few days before to let it get hard.) 5. I never stuff this in the turkey, I usually make it separately in a tray. I continuously check it because the turkey stock has dried out on me once before, which made for a nasty burnt stuffing. And one last thing, this isn't your typical mushy-glop that most people are used to, so if you don't think you'll like a dryer type of stuffing, then I'd suggest using LOTS of stock.
I have to admit, I was very skeptical about this one. It didn't seem as easy as many said and the combo of fruit and meat seemed too intense to paired with turkey. But, I tried it because of rave reviews.
I tried it and I add to the praise. I will never make another stuffing again.
Even if you don't cook often, this IS NOT HARD! Make sure, as in all recipes, you have all your ingredients ready ahead of time. It's easy and the end product is sooo goood. You'll be the hit of the meal!
I took the advice of other reviewers, you should too to maximize this EXCELLENT stuffing!! I'm sure if you followed the original, it would be great, too.
1. I used fresh herbs, double the amount if using fresh.
2. I used a combination of prepared stuffing bread. I liked the combination of cornbread, white, and wheat. I added about a 1 1/2 cups more.
3. I couldn't find the Jimmy Dean's Sage Sausage as others suggested. I will continue to look as I think it will enhance the flavors well. Instead, I used regular flavor Jimmy Dean's pork sausage. DO NOT SKIP THE SAUSAGE (unless you don't eat meat--in that case use a faux meat product and toss in some butter). I thought the sausage might be too much, it was AWESOME in the recipe. It wasn't overwhelming at all! It made the recipe.
4. I substitued craisains for the cranberries. I think I'll try a mixture of golden raisins and dried cranberries. The craisins though. I think I'd like the tartness of the cranberry to play off the sw
Awesome! I wanted to use fresh herbs as others suggested, but didn't know how much to use, so I looked it up. 2 1/2 tsp. dried sage = 5 tsp. fresh, 1 1/2 tsp. dried rosemary = 1 1/2 Tbl. fresh, and 1/2 tsp. dried thyme = 1 sprig fresh. Perfect amounts! I reversed the amount of whole wheat cubes and white cubes (i.e., used 1 1/2 cups white and 3 3/4 cups wheat) to make it more hearty & healthy. I used chicken broth instead of turkey stock, and left off the turkey liver (just a personal preference). My butcher made me some turkey sausage by taking ground turkey and adding 'breakfast sausage' spices (loved it!). As others suggested, I added an egg and an extra 1 cup stock - definitely needed both those additions! I baked in 13x9x2 pan COVERED in foil for 40 minutes on 350, then 15 minutes UNCOVERED (instead of stuffing the turkey). Perfect! The next time I made this, I made my own seasoned turkey sausage: 1 pkg ground turkey + 1 tsp. ground sage + 1 tsp. salt + 1/2 tsp. black pepper + 1/8 tsp. marjoram + pinch of cloves - turned out fantastic! Thanks so much for the recipe - this one's a definite keeper!
This is a wonderful dressing. I used pork sausage and substituted bought unseasoned cornbread dressing for the bread and used sweetened cranberries (craisins)and left out the liver. I added the same spices and used more turkey stock. It still came out a bit dry so next time I will use even more stock. However, the taste and smell was fantastic. This was my first time making dressing and boy did it turn out wonderful. Instead of stuffing the turkey, I popped it in the oven at 350 for 1 hour and the color was fantastic. Will definately make again.
This was my first attempt at homemade stuffing. Wow! Couldn't get any better. Everyone loved it. I did add more chicken stock since I didn't stuff it in the turkey. I put it in the oven on 350 deg. for 40 min then uncovered for 15 mins for perfection. Thanks!

Kjetil Jansrud put down a marker from an early start and as the HEAD World Cup Rebels pushed the limits, a resounding first through to fourth was looking promising. Jansrud lead from Johan Clarey, Aksel Lund Svindal and Bode Miller as the Rebels put the markers down for the rest of the field to aspire to. While the lead lasted eleven racers, Erik Guay spoilt the party by edging Jansrud out by twelve hundredths of a second.
After the race, Jansrud explained: "I am very happy with my skiing, especially how I did on top. I probably shouldn't have been so defensive in the bottom part, I really lost too much time to Erik but I am very happy with my second place. After a year of injuries there is nothing to complain, I now have two downhill podiums and that feels great."
For Johan Clarey, this was a great moment to score his second career podium, four years after his last one, also in Val Gardena. "I very nearly quit racing in the summer after my accident last season, so I am very happy with this result," Clarey explained after the race. Two years ago, Clarey was on the verge of a first win when the weather changed and the race was cancelled.
"I was worried this podium might not happen for me today," a smiling Clarey said after realizing he would remain on the podium. "In the past I so often got bumped off the podium and I was worried until almost the very end. I am relieved for once things went my way!"
With Val Gardena regularly affected by changing weather, this year it stayed constant. Both Clarey and Jansrud admitted after the race that they were waiting until HEAD World Cup Rebel Hans Olsson came down before they felt that they could relax. Olsson, delighted with his Super G result the day before admitted that he felt his run was going well from a start number of 63. "When I looked at the fans after I came through the finish, there was not the same cheering as yesterday, so I was not so happy." Olsson spent 700 days away from the World Cup and admits that he needs to score better FIS points if he is to start earlier and have more of a chance to challenge.
When Guay knocked Svindal off the podium and pushed Miller down to fifth, the leading five racers were separated by less than four tenths. Svindal remains in the lead for the Overall and Downhill with his fourth place; Jansrud jumps up to fourth. Svindal leads the Overall by 175 points with Ted Ligety in third with Bode Miller in fifth and Kjetil Jansrud in sixth.

Interpretive Handbook
83391 :
C4 Complement, Functional, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Complement proteins are components of the innate immune system. There are 3 pathways to complement activation: 1) the classic pathway, 2) the alternative (or properdin) pathway, and 3) the lectin activation (mannan-binding protein [MBP]) pathway. The classic pathway of the complement system is composed of a series of proteins that are activated in response to the presence of immune complexes. The activation process results in the generation of peptides that are chemotactic for neutrophils and that bind to immune complexes and complement receptors. The end result of the complement activation cascade is the formation of the lytic membrane attack complex (MAC).
The absence of early components (C1-C4) of the complement cascade results in the inability of immune complexes to activate the cascade. Patients with deficiencies of the early complement proteins are unable to generate the peptides that are necessary clear immune complexes and to attract neutrophils or to generate to lytic activity. These patients have increased susceptibility to infections with encapsulated microorganisms. They may also have symptoms that suggest autoimmune disease and complement deficiency may be an etiologic factor in the development of autoimmune disease.
Approximately 20 cases of C4 deficiency have been reported. Most of these patients have systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or glomerulonephritis. Patients with C4 deficiency may also have frequent bacterial infections.
Complement levels can be detected by antigen assays that quantitate the amount of the protein (C4 / Complement C4, Serum). For most of the complement proteins, a small number of cases have been described in which the protein is present but is non-functional. These rare cases require a functional assay to detect the deficiency.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Diagnosis of C4 deficiency
Investigation of a patient with an undetectable total complement (CH50) level
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Low levels of complement may be due to inherited deficiencies, acquired deficiencies, or due to complement consumption (eg, as a consequence of infectious or autoimmune processes).
Absent C4 levels in the presence of normal C3 and C2 values are consistent with a C4 deficiency.
Normal results indicate both normal C4 protein levels and normal functional activity.
In hereditary angioedema, a disorder caused by C1 esterase inhibitor deficiency, absent or low C4 and C2 values are seen in the presence of normal C3 (due to activation and consumption of C4 and C2).
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
The total complement assay (COM / Complement, Total, Serum) should be used as a screen for suspected complement deficiencies before ordering individual complement component assays. A deficiency of an individual component of the complement cascade will result in an undetectable total complement level.
Absent (or low) C4 functional levels in the presence of normal C4 antigen levels should be replicated with a new serum specimen to confirm that C4 inactivation did not occur during shipping.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
