Carefree? Participation and Pay Differentials for Informal Carers in Britain
A substantial proportion of working age individuals in Britain are looking after sick, disabled, and elderly people and combine work and caring responsibilities. Using the British Household Panel Study (BHPS) for the years 1991 to 2002 this paper studies the determinants of labour market participation as well as earnings differentials for informal carers and non-carers over time. In particular, the paper decomposes participation and wage differentials for non-carers and carers and shows that carers are systematically disadvantaged. Furthermore, opportunity costs from forgone wages and wage discrimination are estimated and found to be substantial.

Refining Titanium
Titanium is outstandingly strong steel that has a high endurance for corrosion as well as excessive temperatures. This quality makes it an extremely precious metal as most of the new innovations especially in the aviation industry target it. In spite of its outstanding strength, it also happens to be very light in weight hence the growing preference for its use in the aviation industry.
As matters stand, the process of refining titanium is proving to be a major hitch. This is mainly because the process costs too much a factor that impact directly on the cost of the finished product. As much as the aviation industry is currently acknowledging the fact that titanium should turn out as a better airplane manufacturing material as opposed to aluminum, the costs of the metal has continued to provide a big hitch since it makes the end product less competitive in the market.
Since the aviation industry has taken keen interest in changing from the use of aluminum to titanium in air plane manufacture, the main focus is currently directed at reducing the cost of refining the metal. As at present, the cost of refining a pound of titanium is too high with the finished product going at about $30 per pound. With this high cost, the refining of titanium is to blame especially given that the current process also produces toxic waste. It is estimated that if the cost of refining titanium was to come down by as little as $3 per pound, then the metal could become the most viable materials to use in the manufacture of air craft
The old and modern method s of titanium refining
As early as the 1950, the refining of titanium was done using the kroll process. In this method, the titanium was turned into titanium chloride and then latter processed into tetrachloride which was subsequently combined with magnesium to get titanium. However the titanium produced in this method was full of other impurities such as magnesium salts and chlorine gases. This whole process meant that the product had to be further refined to get a product that could be useable in manufacturing
The modern method has tried to eliminate the numerous impurities that often cost extra effort to separate from the titanium. In this method, the titanium oxide is combined with calcium and magnesium oxide and then heated at high temperatures of up to 1,700 degrees centigrade to produce molten oxides that eventually leads into a liquid pool of titanium when subjected to electrolysis. This method eventually finds the titanium settling at the bottom of the mixture due to its greater weight as compared to the oxides. The process ensures a safer and green way of refining titanium. If this method was to be carried out at cheaper costs, the aviation industry would greatly benefit from affordable titanium

I'm still looking heard the EPA has too many rules to allow refining of titanium in the US.

Titanium refining is always considered as an expensive procedure until the implementation of this new process which every company worldwide has started to follow. Titanium ore is abundantly found in black soil, which is also a rare thing to find.

A Lancaster man has been charged with robbing two convenience stores within minutes of each other in south Lancaster last week.
Lancaster County sheriff's investigators arrested James Antwon White, 26, Wednesday afternoon on two counts each of armed robbery and possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime.
White was arrested in connection with robberies at the Stop & Shop, 2147 McIlwain Road, and the Pantry Pack, 2014 Lynwood Drive, between 8:30 and 9 p.m. on Jan. 5. The stores are located within two and a half miles of each other.
A Lancaster man facing two counts of attempted murder in a drive-by shooting 13 months ago is on the run after cutting off his ankle monitor Jan. 6 and not showing up in General Sessions court.
As a result, Circuit Judge Brian Gibbons issued a bench warrant for the arrest of Keon Jamal "Fire Red" Howze, 24, of 705 Sowell St.
Howze is now charged with three counts of failure to appear in court, in addition to the attempted murder.

Two south Lancaster convenience stores were robbed within 25 minutes Thursday night, and officials believe the same suspect committed both crimes.
The holdups came less than three days after an armed man robbed another convenience store on Pageland Highway.
According to Lancaster County Sheriff's Office incident reports, the Thursday robberies occurred at the Stop and Shop at 2147 McIlwain Road about 8:45 p.m. and the Pantry Pak convenience store at 2014 Lynwood Drive soon after.
A woman was charged Tuesday night with stealing a television from the Walmart in Lancaster after the getaway car wouldn't crank in the supercenter parking lot.
Kiana Chantelle Chisolm, 37, was charged with shoplifting.
According to a Lancaster Police Department report, officers were called to the store about 10:30 p.m. for a shoplifting incident in which "a witness reported a woman running from the store carrying a TV" and loading it in a black car.
Thieves hit Lancaster County businesses hard around the holidays, with one armed robbery and a string of burglaries and larcenies targeting eight locations.
The robbery happened shortly after 2 a.m. Monday at Jack's Party Shop at 2190 Pageland Highway, according to a Lancaster County Sheriff's Office report.
The cashier, who was not injured, told investigators she was stocking cigarettes on a shelf underneath the counter when a man wearing a ski mask walked in, pulled a gun on her and demanded she open the cash register.
A Florida man was arrested Monday afternoon after the inside of Hinson's Trading Post in Buford was torn up during a fight with the owner.
Wayne Peebles, 68, of Inverness, Fla., is charged with disorderly conduct, malicious injury to property, and third-degree assault and battery. The Lancaster County Sheriff's Office is also seeking a warrant against Peebles for possession of a Schedule IV drug.

The Lancaster Police Department is investigating a Christmas night burglary at Subway No. 2 on S.C. 9 Bypass West in which $600 cash was stolen.
According to a Lancaster Police Department incident report, officers responded to Subway just after 8 p.m. when the alarm sounded.
The store closed at 6 p.m. Christmas Eve and was closed for Christmas Day.
Police found the drive-through window pried open and visible footprints on the counter of the drive-through window, as well as multiple fingerprints.
A Lancaster woman stopped Dec. 23 for a traffic violation now faces a serious drug charge for having a half-pound of pot in a coat pocket.

Someone once asked me what my favorite kitchen smell is. Well, while many may hesitate at this question, I did not. Unequivocally, without a doubt, 100% my favorite kitchen smell ever is caramelized onions. I don't know about you but just the thought of the melting butter and the onions makes my mouth instantly start watering. But if take that same thought and add the sweet aroma of bourbon well then my friends, you have one of the best additions to a steak ever.
You can really pick any cut of steak that you want with this recipe, but you want it to be a good, flavorful, tender cut. For us, I chose a NY Strip as they happened to be reasonably priced at my grocery store. The trick is to pick whatever cut is your favorite and season it simply. You want the flavor of the meat but you also want to get the sweet flavor of the bourbon onions in each and every bite.

Eight years into their career, Baltimore band Future Islands made their network television debut on Late Show With David Letterman on March 3, a rite of passage for rising artists that provides some cred but may or may not make much career impact.
But something unexpected happened. The famously hard-to-impress Letterman was utterly, genuinely captivated by the performance of "Seasons (Waiting On You)," particularly frontman Samuel T. Herring's emotional intensity and striking dance moves. "BUDDY, C'MON!" he uncharacteristically exclaimed when the song was over. "I'll take all of that you got! That was WONDERFUL." Video of the performance went viral, and Letterman continued to promote a clip of Herring's hypnotic sidestep during his nightly monologue.
With new album Singles due from 4AD on March 25, Future Islands made numerous "must see" lists before their first visit to SXSW in Austin last week—an enviable position at an industry festival where it's notoriously difficult to stand out among 2,000-plus artists. Their breakout success at the event was made official on March 18, when the band won the coveted Grulke Prize for Developing U.S. Act, named for longtime SXSW creative director Brent Grulke, who passed away in 2012. Fast Company talked to the band about how what may seem like overnight success does not happen overnight, and how to keep the momentum of a profile boost going.
Commit to the Unknown
Herring, William Cashion, and Gerrit Welmers formed Future Islands as college students in Greenville, N.C., in 2006, playing house parties and gaining a small local following. By 2008, Herring and Welmers had dropped out of school, "and I realized I had no skills at all," says Herring. "The only thing I'd done consistently for five or six years was make music." Unlike many other bands who balance their passion with rent-paying jobs while hoping to get discovered, the three decided the only way to make their living as musicians was to stop doing anything else. "We made the move to Baltimore and set ourselves to work," says Herring. "We've made a living off of music for five years now, staying out 150 to 160 days per year on the road. First it was 50 to 60 bucks a show, then 100 bucks a show, then 200 then 300 then 400."
Don't Reinvent The Wheel Every Time
Future Islands attributes a lot of their success to doing much of the hard work themselves, rejecting external management offers for years and booking their own national tours. But they didn't try to reinvent the wheel. "We had some friends, Valient Thorr and Dan Deacon, who were doing big national tours that they were booking themselves," says Cashion. "So I would look at where they toured and send our music to those places, and booked shows using their roadmap over a period of two or three years."
Every Audience Is Your Best Audience
"We always believed that even if there was one person at the show, or 20, someone would remember it," says Cashion. "We've always believed in and been very confident in what we do, even if no one else was." Sometimes this meant playing for five or 10 people, but Cashion says "the 10-person shows are even more important. There are some bands, I've seen it happen, they'll just phone it in when it's that kind of show, or act like they're better than that. But those 10 people, you should be thanking them for giving you their time." And according to Herring, "when you give those five or 10 people the show you would give a sold-out crowd, they will never forget you."
PR Is Great, But Never Stop Pushing Your Craft
Even with the huge publicity boost before SXSW, Herring says the band's goals and expectations for their eight shows at the event didn't change. "The only goal for this trip was to smash every show and blow some minds," says Herring. "It's just work." He also says that after Letterman, "I have to push my dance moves even further. But I don't want to do what they expect—you don't want to give people exactly what they want." Unsurprisingly, if you've watched Herring perform, he says "I take what I do as a performer like an athlete. There would probably be athletes who would say 'what the hell are you talking about,' but just in the sense that it's like a runner's high, you feel like your body's about to shut down but you just keep pushing and you reach this rush, an adrenaline rush from the crowd. When the crowd is feeding you energy you want to give it back, and you have to give it in the first place to get it. Adversity is important for any kind of creative art, because you learn from it, you feed off of it, and you understand why you do it better."

Drew Lachey has only been gone from Dancing with the Stars for two weeks and I already miss him terribly. I have to fast forward past Samantha Harris' backstage interviews because they physically cause me pain. Speaking of pain, Marie Osmond passed out this week. Hopefully she didn't crack her head on the ballroom floor. More on that below. This week features the Samba and the Rumba, two of my favorite dances. Too bad the music always blows. Thanks producers.
1. Marie Osmond & Jonathan
The Dance: Samba
The Song: Not sure of the title, but it's surprisingly appropriate.
Marie professes to be worried about her hip action during rehearsals. And rightly so. Not that she didn't have a good energy and not that her legs didn't look great, but it just didn't have enough…oomph. It didn't come together like the other dances and her hip action definitely wasn't there to the level that it could've been. It was a cute number and all, but, considering who's left in the competition, I have a feeling this may land her in a little hot water this week. And holy crap she just passed out! Apparently, those were her sentiments too as Tom says her first words when she gained consciousness were "oh, crap!" . Marie suffers from some sort of condition (which I assume is asthma) that sometimes causes her to pass out if she gets too worked up…an explanation which doesn't help poor Jonathan who must be freaking out the way he's got his arms around her backstage.
Judge Highlight Line: Um, not applicable.
Score: 21 (all 7's)
2. Jane Seymour & Tony
The Dance: Rumba
The Song: A terrible rendition of "Breathe Again" by Toni Braxton that I muted
Unfortunately Tom mentioned the whole Lift Police incident from last week at the beginning of their segment. Boo on you, Tom. Then they talk about how tough a teacher Tony is – basically it's a "shut up and do as I say thing." She had great lines, as always, and was very classy. She didn't have quite enough hip action (if she did, she'd look just like one of the pros). I'd pick on her some more about it but then I remembered that she has some undisclosed back injury from her childhood, so I can't be too harsh on her.
Judge Highlight Line: Bruno said that she "looked like Edyta at times."
Score: 26 (8-9-9)
3. Mark Cuban & Kym
The Dance: Samba
The Song: The Theme from I Dream of Jeannie, which was really good. Lack of vocalists helped.
Mark's been responding to emails one at a time to thank them for all the votes he's been begging for. You can say a lot of things about him, but being bad at business/PR is not one of them. Kym came out dressed like a Genie. Never let it be said that Kym is not a great choreographer. It's a super cute number – it was funny and had whimsy. Mark was passable. His technique is still weak but it was definitely entertaining.
Judge Highlight Line: Bruno said it was his "most entertaining dance to date" and that "technically, you're not Fred Astaire." For some reason, the audience booed that second bit, which I don't understand because he's totally not, nor will he ever be. Just saying…
Score: 21 (all 7's)
4. Sabrina Bryan & Mark
The Dance: Rumba
The Song: "Me & Mrs. Jones" by Billy Paul? Boooooooo!
Sabrina is not feeling comfortable with the whole expression of intimacy necessary for the dance. Luckily, Mark's mom, 3-time World Latin Champion Shirley Ballas, showed up to help some. And, I speculate, to meet her future daughter-in-law. Did Momma Ballas' advice help? It did. Her turns and stops have speed and drama, she's got great lines and she's working her hair extensions. Good job as always, especially to a crappy song for the Rumba. I'm really impressed by the way she's taken to Ballroom because, as So You Think You Can Dance has taught us, Hip Hop dancers can't always adapt to such a different style.
Judge Highlight Line: Carrie Ann said that instead of knocking "us" over, she "gently beckoned them in."
Score: 28 (9-9-10)
5. Jennie Garth & Derek
The Dance: Samba
The Song: A crap version of "Cosmic Girl" by Jamiroquai
Derek says that in order for Jennie to learn this dance, "she's gonna have to learn to shake her fun stuff." To that end, he brings her to see Aisha Francis, an awesome choreographer who's worked with Beyonce – so clearly she knows something about shaking one's booty. Jennie says we'll be surprised to see her "shake it like a salt shaker." Her exact words. I like her more now, because that was just silly. Her outfit's great and she does a serviceable job with the moves, she just seems a bit…off? Uncomfortable? I blame the music, personally, because it seems like she's waiting for counts almost since it's a bit slow in tempo. There were moments of real greatness and she shook it well and their Samba rolls were nice. Maybe the Marie pass-out lingered.
Judge Highlight Line: Carrie Ann offered the advice of "you've gotta mean it."
Score: 25 (8-9-8)
6. Helio Castroneves & Julianne
The Dance: Rumba
The Song: "Apologize" by Timbaland ft. One Republic – Great song, less than stellar vocals.
They weren't quite getting it in the studio so they practiced on the beach. Did it help their chemistry as much as Helio said it did? Um…sort of? The sparkly black shirt he was wearing helped too, I'm sure. It was great choreography as usual but it wasn't up to par with other dances for me. Like, there was certain energy missing. The judges agree with me, all of them saying that he looked like he was concentrating too hard or something.
Judge Highlight Line: Well, it wasn't from the judges, but Tom did tell Bruno to calm down because "you're scaring the children at home."
Score: 23 (8-7-8)
7. Mel B & Maksim
The Dance: Samba
The Song: "Spice Up Your Life" by the Spice Girls. I'm sure Mel can't wait to hear it butchered.
They went into rehearsal right after the show, mainly because Mel had to go to London for a Spice Girls video shoot. I must say, it was good seeing all the girls again. I miss the mindless yet enjoyable pop of the late-90's. This was easily the best Samba of the night. Mel did this crazy split move, she's one of the few non-pro women with consistent hip movement, she had great lines, and there was an actual exciting energy to it. Bruno agrees with me about it being the best of the night and Carrie Ann said it was her best dance so far. Brava!
Judge Highlight Line: Len called them "fruity, sweet, delicious – more bounce to the ounce."
Score: 29 (10-9-10 – Woo!)
8. Cameron Mathieson & Edyta
The Dance: Rumba
The Song: A song by Nora Jones – I think it's called "I Can't Help Myself" – one of the few appropriate songs of the night
Cameron is wearing a shirt that says "Camyta." Hilarious. Since Cameron is an actor, he created a story to go with the dance. Susan Lucci made a guest appearance to give some tips on connecting and, man, is she tiny! Love ya, Lucci. Cameron takes his jacket off at the beginning of the dance and, with the billowy white shirt open almost to his navel, he looks like he's straight off a romance novel. Skin to win, Edyta. It was really good, actually. They had a real connection and Cameron hit some great lines, legs especially. He needs to watch his hands though, the splayed fingers are distracting from otherwise lovely arm lines. I think his Rumba is up there with the best of the night. His improvement continues. Carrie Ann of the Lift Police made another appearance, unfortunately, but she had good things to say in general. She wasn't nearly as jerky about it this time though.
Judge Highlight Line: Nothing too outstanding.
Score: 26 (8-9-9)
The Bottom Two: Hmm…that's tough this week. Mark should be down there, but who knows at this point? I don't think Marie will be in the bottom due to the fainting spell and I'm not sure if it's the fans that are voting for Helio as much as it seems – I guess this week will let us know that. Um, so I'm going Mark and a total shocker – like Jennie or Helio.
Who's Out: Again, it should be Mark. I know he's trying hard but, at this point in the competition, that's not going to mean much against all the talent left (especially since Cameron is actually improving, whereas Mark isn't improving as drastically).
What are your thoughts? I was kind of bored by most of it, thanks in part to poor music choices by the producers. Who should stay? Who should go? Wasn't that fainting spell from Marie crazy? It even scared me…

This Lent, take a 40-day devotional journey with Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Click here to sign up.
The accent on Rome's economic power and material luxury continues in the next section, the longest direct address from heaven to John's readers since the end of chapter 3. With it the time frame shifts back to the present, as John is allowed to contemplate the worldly magnificence that will soon be gone. "Another angel coming down from heaven" (v. 1) gives way to another voice from heaven (v. 4)—a voice just as anonymous and just as mysterious as the angel that preceded it. The terms of address, my people (v. 4), suggest that the voice is God's voice, and yet it refers to God repeatedly in the third person (vv. 5, 8, 20). In this sense the voice is like the oracle of a prophet speaking for God without quite being God. The oracle is framed by twin appeals to the people of God, beginning with, Come out of her, my people [that is, out of Babylon] so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues (v. 4). It ends, "Rejoice, saints and apostles and prophets! God has judged her for the way she treated you" (v. 20).

AutoNation (NYSE:AN) recently reported its first quarter earnings and discussed the following topics in its earnings conference call.
Capital Outlook Allocation
Richard Nelson – Stephens: Capital outlook allocation priorities seem to have really shifted from buybacks toward acquisitions. Wondering if you can provide some color on that. Is it a case for the valuations are now coming into the (wheelhouse) on the acquisition side?
Mike Jackson – Chairman and CEO: Actually, the process or the priorities have not changed one iota. We are doing every month, several times in month exactly what we've been doing for the last 13 years. We sit there and discuss where our capital can be applied best, it's definitely done on an opportunistic basis that has to do with where the price of stock is, where we think the market is going, and what kind of acquisition opportunities are presented in the marketplace, do they fit and can we come to a meeting of the minds on price. Obviously, if you look at the past six months, we have done over $800 million of revenue run rate on acquisitions, meaning that it's been a very good period of alignment on acquisitions. We have further discussions going on right now, but as I said in the past, you never know if you get to the finish line on these transaction. So I can't commit in the future. So it's done on an opportunistic basis, and that's the way we've always done it, and right now, if we look at what is being presented to us in the marketplace and what we're discussing, it's the best return for our capital.
Richard Nelson – Stephens: Also, you mentioned the improvement that we are in an inflection point now with units and operation and positive for the several business. I'm interested in the used car business, how that improving supply, you see that evolving, the comps look good this quarter and we did see sequential improvement in margin and it's supply driven improvement.
Michael E. Maroone – President and COO: Rick, it's Mike Maroone. I don't think the supply has yet changed, although, we are anticipating that it will get better especially for the certified pre-owned units, they're still very tight and the supply is very limited so we are having to pay a lot of money to get those vehicles and that's a growing part of the segment. The other factor is, the used vehicles out there coming in with very high mileage and we're really working hard to retail those. So it's keeping – putting enough pressure on the margins. But I think as it loosens up going forward and there is more supply, I think there is more opportunity on the margin side, but we are pleased that sequentially, our margins are up and looking for more…

"Versatile" is the one word that all of our testers used to describe this year's JJ. It's the one ski for the powder hungry. The five-dimensional ski's rockered tip (136mm at its widest point) and tail (133mm at its widest point) make for easy floatation, while positive camber underfoot and a tapered tail allow for surprisingly smooth, engaged edge control when and where you need it. We may live for smeary pow days, but we still have to face the reality of the inevitable groomer or crud day, and the JJ addresses it all.

Show Your Summer Colors! Order true to size....
"Wow I am SO thrilled with this shoe! But ...I ordered a whole size bigger than my 8.5 foot when I saw the 'too narrow' rating...and now must return the 9.5 for a 9 or even back to my true size 8.5. They are too long...and not too narrow at all, even though my feet sometimes get a little puffy by day's end. The straps are elastic so there's some give to them. These are trendy summer colors and it's a much prettier shoe on your foot, in person, than in the picture. Other reviews are available under "CL Laundry" as it also comes in tan or black, same price point. Cannn't waaaait to get the pair that fits. Too bad they weren't IN the stores for tryon!Can't wait to trade them out!! Love this shoe. Sizing is true to size, I just ordered too big."

Smart, well-coached teams win games and win fans money. Dumb, poorly coached teams lose games and lose fans money. Dumb coaches also get canned at the end of the season. New England ended the year No. 1 on the Intelligence Index; Washington finished dead last.
Smart Bets: Mental Mismatches Abound on NFL Week 17 Schedule
But we ride the Einstein of analysis, the Cold, Hard Football Facts Intelligence Index, once again here in Week 17, looking for a big finish to a big month of intellectual excellence.
Rex Ryan's Downfall: Jets The Dumbest Team in Football
Rex Ryan was cleaning out his locker Saturday morning as the axe is about to fall on his coaching career with the New York Jets. New York's 3-12 record can be blamed on one major factor: Ryan's Jets are the dumbest, most poorly coached team in football, a fact we witnessed in their 17-16 to New England last Sunday.

20 CFR 404.290 - Recalculations.
(a) Your primary insurance amount may be "recalculated" in certain instances. When we recalculate your primary amount, we refigure it under the same method we used in the first computation by taking into account -
(1) Earnings (including compensation for railroad service) incorrectly included or excluded in the first computation;
(2) Special deemed earnings credits including credits for military service (see subpart N of this part) and for individuals interned during World War II (see subpart K of this part), not available at the time of the first computation;
(3) Correction of clerical or mathematical errors; or
(4) Other miscellaneous changes in status.
(b) Unlike recomputations, which may only serve to increase your primary insurance amount, recalculations may serve to either increase or reduce it.

Satan by Professor Henry Ansgar Kelly
Book DescriptionChristians traditionally think of Satan as Lucifer, God's enemy, who rebelled against Him out of pride and then caused Adam and Eve to sin. But, as Kelly shows, this portrayal is not biblical but a scenario invented by the early Fathers of the Church which became the 'New Biography of Satan'. The 'Original Biography' must be reconstructed from the New Testament where Satan is the same sort of celestial functionary we see in the Book of Job - appointed to govern the world, specifically to monitor and test human beings. But he is brutal and deceitful in his methods, and Jesus predicts that his rule will soon come to an end. Kelly traces the further developments of the 'New Biography': humankind's inherited guilt, captivity by Satan, and punishment in Hell at his hands. This profile of Satan remains dominant, but Kelly urges a return to the 'Original Biography of Satan'.

Why let your hair decide your age?
I highly recommend La Belle which helped me regain my confidence. It was very frustrating and I just could not control eating. The therapeutic approach helped me shed big kilos only in a few months.- Lavanya. R

Das Album wirkt auf mich sehr abwechslungsreich und fassettenreich. Kaum zu glauben das all diese verschiedenen Ideen von einem einzigen Interpreten stammen.
Manolis Moumouzias' recordings combine musicianship and audio engineering science skills for a polished, beautiful result. His inspiration comes from many sources, including great recording artists and engineers through the Pop, R & B, and Funk of Prince, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson, Hall & Oates. He also draws inspiration from the post-concert tour Beatles and Beach Boys records – when they broke ground with new sounds, new techniques unavailable in concert.
Moumouzias plays piano and keyboards, bass, guitar, drums, ukulele, melodica and glockenspiel. This wide range of instrumentality allows him to fully accomplish his genre-jumping albums which still seamlessly come together as a whole.
As Manolis articulates, "I prefer the Do-It-Yourself approach on making music and videos, 'cause I want the listener and viewer to get my point of view on everything." He carefully crafts the music and lyrics, performs his vision, shooting and directing his own videos and finally mixing and mastering his own work.
Manolis' music videos have more than 700.000 views on YouTube and he is constantly striving to better connect musically and lyrically with his growing audience.

Very happy :)
Great customer service , would recommend this garage first to a friend or family , good value for money and a clean good job as standard ! Thanks guys
Fantastic service, picked my car up at 10:30 installed the new clutch and delivered it back at 4:30 the same day. Price was exactly as quoted. I would use again with out a doubt.
The price was agreed at 0930 and the car picked up an hour later. The car was taken from Liverpool to Wigan and returned about 1830 the same day as promised. Fantastic service, friendly courteous staff and a very competitive price. This is a top firm and possibly the best car repair experience I've had. Thank you and well done guys.
Excellent service ,great price ,would recommend all day long .
efficient and professional - would take my car again
Overall a good experience.
Great service and cheapest I found defo use again
Would recommend this garage , and will use them again in the future
great service, sorted my car out at short notice, really nice place to go and did a really great job, will go back again
Very quick response and attended to repair the vehicle within 2 days. Communication easy and job completed in good time, despite the odd complication! Would use again without hesitation.
Excellent job, carried out very professionally. job took much longer than originally anticipated due to seized on discs but no complaints, they just kept going to get the job done to the best customer satisfaction. Great team. Would definitely recommend and use Full Throttle Autos again. Thank you very much for a great job.
Fast, mobile and great service! 100% recommended
Wow...... can't believe these guys are real, my caliper seized on, on a Sunday morning, I still can't belive these lovely guys came to my place of work on a Sunday to fix my car! If I could give six stars I would still try to give you more. I can't recommend highly enough!!!!
100% recommended! Quoted £65 for a job, travelled to Bolton to pick up the keys when the car was in Stockport. Called me before he did any work and told me exactly what the problem was. The job was more than I described, for the extra work, picking up and dropping off the keys, it was a extra £15. This is the first guy I call with any car problems from now on.
Quick service
They said they couldn't do it
Very helpful staff and nice waiting room with good facilities while you wait.
Very good service with honest feedback as the effectiveness of my air conditioning could be due to the pollen filter needing to be renewed.
Good, quick and efficient service, very competitive price, friendly professional staff.
I chose this garage due to previous customer reviews and the fact that they gave the cheapest quote . My car was picked up from home with a very reasonable pick up fee and i was contacted to confirm that the gear box had gone, agreed for work to be done at the quoted price which it was, I even rang up a couple of days later to add another job on which I was quoted on and accepted. The car was done on time as promised even with the extra job added on, highly recommended garage, kept up to date constantly by polite staff and my car now drives like a new one compared to what it was , would definitely use again even though they are miles away from my usual garage!!
Really polite and fast service, went the extra mile which was much appreciated and even washed my car.....two thumbs up
Final price as quoted, professional service, highly recommended
Dealt with politely and efficiently, would go back and recommend to others.
Repaired quickly and subsequent repairs fitted in last-minute. Recommended
Just had my New clutch fitted it was painless from start to finish nice price and I will recommend this garage to my friends and family and a special thanks to Robin for looking after me
After being so impressed with reviews of the Rudheath MOT centre I decided that they were my number one choice to change our Mini's clutch. Correspondence was impeccable and the quote was very very competitive. I dropped the car off on Weds night and then picked it up on Friday afternoon. I was kept up to date all the way and they even topped up my gearbox oil free of charge. The car is now like new!! I have to mention how friendly and helpful Robin and Lucy were in the reception. Sorry 'Biffo', I believe you were the poor guy who fitted the clutch and I believe it wasn't the easiest one you have fitted?? Many thanks guys and I will be back very soon and thanks for the quotes you have posted out to me for my other vehicles repairs. Anybody looking for a trustworthy garage then I thoroughly recommend Rudheath MOT centre. I used the train to get back to Helsby which was another plus as the station is a 5 minute walk from the garage. Thanks again guys:)
Fantastic very efficient service from start to finish - will use again
Really friendly and helpful staff, even made me two coffees while I waited! Work not done yet as problems with condenser not just a re gas job so if not under the warranty I'll be back
Great friendly service and fair prices. Would definitely have no problems in recommending this garage to friends and family! Will be using again in the future.
