    Why is this taking so long?

    ...Edited for talking ballcocks... I've now downloaded MakeMKV and it ran through a DVD in under 10 mins. Proc usage was minimal indicating that your read speed is pants. Re. the Handbrake issue - it could be any of a myriad of issues. Which preset are you using? What filetype? Handbrake...

    The Official Tour de France 2010 Thread

    I don't know a lot about cycling, and only really started watching the Tour last year whilst I was unemployed, so what I'm about to say probably goes against some unwritten rules of racing. Why should one man (Cancellara) decide whether or not that the stage should stand as a race? From what I...

    Councils investing in new low-cost pot hole repairing called Jetpatch

    So the answer then is to make the surface material more pliable ie by adding more recycled tyre material to the mix, so that it is able to flex with temperature changes... Or is that too simplistic? :confused:

    What would you do at this roundabout

    Is that design really need though, or just put in cos the planners were having a laugh? Surely just the central roundabout would be enough? Looks as though you can actually go around it the wrong way ie anti-clockwise :(

    Another "Spec Me" Request

    Ok, thanks guys. Booked test drive in the Volvo tomorrow, so we'll have to see. E-class has always appealed, but I can't afford one of the face-lifted versions :(

    Another "Spec Me" Request

    Guys, Got a family of 2+2, and need better space than a saloon currently gives me. I'll have around 10k to spend. Current car - 320D SE (05 - E90) Current thoughts are around a Volvo V70 D5 SE, a local Jaguar 2.2d x-type. I'll need the extra space to cart the kids & their toys around (bikes...

    VIDEO_TS to mp4

    Any chance you might persevere with Handbrake? Mine works fine and delivers consistent mp4 (and m4v) files. The beauty of it is that I can queue it up and leave it crunching through lots of files overnight, having set the size etc that I need and/or the sections I want. The other app I...

    Deadlift form

    Probably a bit late in the thread for this, but for the OP, if you're just starting out on DLs, don't be afraid to raise the bar slightly to make it easier to get into position. I use a set of risers from the studio for some of the ladies I teach, just to get them started. A few weeks into it...

    Yearly checkup

    Whilst I understand the position doctors are in, imho the NHS is far too focussed on giving you tablets to reduce the effect, rather than stopping it from happening in the first place. If people were able to go into their doctors for regular checkup and, say, speak to a nutritionist, then a...

    *** The Official OcUK Windows 7 Opinions Thread ***

    Mine is running ok, but I keep thinking I'll go back to Vista. Nothing in it really to force the issue, and I've been unable to install the drivers for a Suunto watch which is a pain as I need it for work :(

    Will You Buy Windows 7???

    You would have thought it would be more automated and less mandraulic. What a boring job, but it keeps the pennies coming in, I guess

    Lvl 2 Gym Instructors - Exercise List

    Go through the books as soon as you get them to prepare for the bones/muscles/heart &lungs etc. It's all quite straightforward, I did that part back in April for my Exercise to Music module, so it's nice to have a refresher this time round too as prep for the Level 3 in Feb. Our trainer is a...

    Lvl 2 Gym Instructors - Exercise List

    Roughly 5 days of theory about bones, muscles, energy systems, joints, heart & lungs. Also some sections on working in the industry, health & safety etc. You then take a multiple-choice exam on the above. The rest of the 5 day course is phys, so you'll be doing circuits and be shown &...

    Lvl 2 Gym Instructors - Exercise List

    Cheers Ant. I did originally have a dorsal raise to counteract the abs curls, but was told to take it out. People have referred because they allow the client to hyper-extend the back :( Never thought of doing 10 deadlifts though, good thinking!! I already teach aerobics, indoor cycling and...

    Lvl 2 Gym Instructors - Exercise List

    Thanks for your input Benny, good luck when you get on the course. I'll think about a lateral raise, but assumed that doing bench press (Ant. Delts) and Seated Row (Post. Delts) would be enough, given that the shoulder is generally one of the smaller muscles worked and is quickest to tire. I...

    Lvl 2 Gym Instructors - Exercise List

    It's primarily to show that you can demonstrate safe and effective exercises. It's not to show that you can design a program for someone, that comes in level 3

    Lvl 2 Gym Instructors - Exercise List

    Guys, Just in the middle of my gym instructors module with YMCA and have 4 days off to sort a routine ready for assessment. I have to pick 4 freeweight and 4 machine exercises, then drop one of each so that the assessor can give me 2 fast-balls. By the time we get to this, we'll already...

    ***Official 2010 F1 thread***

    Undoubtedly, Simon. But no matter what anyone says, the FIA won't change their mind or review the cases to see where they might have made a more balanced decision, especially in comparison with the McLaren case. I'm sure they view each case totally separately, hence the lack of consistency :(

    ***Official 2010 F1 thread***

    By who? The press? Scary but hardly the worst thing in the world. The FIA will just refuse to give any information to them regarding the case. :( I do agree with you though

    Autodromo Nazionale Monza - Italian Grand Prix 2009 - Race 13/17
