Identifying Approved Mot Testing Centres

MOT testing centres like Mr Clutch, which have been approved, can be recognised by a blue sign which features three interlocking triangles. This is a sign of a quality MOT testing facility and will give you the peace of mind in knowing that your MOT will be carried out swiftly, legally and in a manner which has been thoroughly approved by the Department of Transport.

Other Things To consider

A good MOT Testing centre will keep the Mot testing area separate from other areas of the space, so that Mot testing can be carried out efficiently and without interference. They should also be clean and free of pollution or noise, so that accurate testing can take place. If a MOT testing centre does not have these provisions, steer clear.

About the USAR Hooters Pro Cup Series:

Following the tragic deaths of 1992 Winston Cup Champion Alan Kulwicki, Dan Duncan, Charlie Campbell and Mark Brooks, son of the late Hooters of America CEO Bob Brooks, in a plane crash on their way to Bristol, Tennessee, the Hooters Pro Cup Series was created as a living tribute to the “Forever Champions.”

Over the past 12 years, the Hooters Pro Cup Series has proven to be a great place for youngsters to cut their teeth in full-bodied stock cars. With the successes of former drivers like Brian Vickers, Jon Wood, Danny O’Quinn, Kertus Davis, Joey Logano, Chad Chaffin and Scott Wimmer, the fast-growing series has become a proving ground for the latest up-and-coming drivers. But while other series clamor to be the next “stepping stone” series, the Hooters Pro Cup Series will always be about proven talent, rather than potential talent.

Over the years, the grassroots appeal has attracted a virtual “Who’s Who” list of short-track greats. Each race pits Snowball Derby, ASA and Weekly Racing Champions, ARCA and Busch Series winners and future Sunday racers against each other on racetracks across the country.

(PRWEB) July 18, 2005

For Immediate Release

MELBOURNE, Australia (PRWEB) July 18th, 2005 – Trident Software Pty Ltd is pleased to announce the release of PowerZip 7.06, a new version of its file compression software for Windows. PowerZip 7.06 is one of the first compression tools to provide shell extensions (integration with the right-click menu in Windows Explorer) compatible with the 64-bit edition of Microsoft Windows XP.

Compatibility with Windows XP, x64 Edition

With the recently-released 64-bit version of Windows XP set to become increasingly popular for high-performance environments, many users will be looking for 64-bit compatibility when selecting new software. And while Windows XP x64 is generally backward-compatible with 32-bit applications, the compatibility does not extend to shell extensions.

Shell extensions are application add-ins that extend Windows Explorer. Most Zip programs, including PowerZip, provide shell extensions that add Zip / Unzip items to the right-click menu of Windows Explorer. This feature enables users to quickly create and extract compressed files directly from Windows Explorer / My Computer.

However, because of the lack of backward-compatibility for shell extensions, many cutting-edge users switching to 64-bit Windows will be annoyed to find that they are no longer able to Zip / Unzip from the right-click menu of Windows Explorer using their old Zip program. Unfortunately, most Zip programs do not currently provide shell extensions compatible with Windows XP x64.

PowerZip 7.06 is a notable exception. PowerZip 7.06 provides both 32-bit and 64-bit shell extensions, automatically installing the correct version depending on the user’s version of Windows. This means one less obstacle on the upgrade path to Windows XP x64.

About PowerZip

Commercially-available since 1998, PowerZip is a file compression program that offers an alternative user interface and a comprehensive set of features for today’s file compression and data security needs.

PowerZip enables users to create password-protected Zip files secured by 256-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption. Security-conscious users will appreciate this feature when storing confidential documents and files or sending them through insecure channels, such as e-mail. PowerZip’s implementation of AES is fully compatible with WinZip 9, allowing for easy exchange of encrypted files with WinZip users. PowerZip also provides standard Zip encryption for compatibility with older Zip programs.

PowerZip supports the BWT (Burrows-Wheeler Transform) compression method to provide a higher level of compression than is normally available in Zip files.

Another feature which sets PowerZip apart from most other Zip programs is PowerZip’s built-in support for Unix archive formats. PowerZip can create and extract .tar, .tar.gz and .tar.bz2 archives, enabling users to easily exchange files with machines running Linux and other Unix variants.

System Requirements

PowerZip 7.06 runs under Windows XP (Professional, Home or x64), Windows 2000, Windows Me, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 95. PowerZip requires LHA, ARJ and HA programs to work with the corresponding archives types.

Availability

The price of one copy of PowerZip is $ 20 (US), which includes technical support via e-mail and unlimited upgrades. Quantity discounts and discounts for government and non-profit organizations are available. A fully functional evaluation copy of PowerZip can be downloaded from Trident Software’s web site – http://www.powerzip.biz/download.aspx

About Trident Software

Based in Melbourne (Australia), Trident Software Pty Ltd is dedicated to providing quality software products and services at affordable prices to customers worldwide.

Editors: A full version of PowerZip 7.06 is available upon request; screenshots of PowerZip can viewed at http://www.powerzip.biz/sshots.aspx

Information about WinZip, a product of WinZip Computing Inc, is based on WinZip 9 (latest version available at the time of writing) and is provided to the best of our knowledge.

Cocoa, FL (PRWEB) August 22, 2006

An innovative new line of decorative window films by Wallpaper For Windows is a beautiful alternative to expensive stained glass windows and glass doors. Although it looks expensive, this adhesive-free film is a very affordable way to give ordinary windows and glass doors the look of decorative glass.

“Using Wallpaper for Windows people can decorate windows and glass doors to complement a homes décor and enhance privacy if desired,” said Renee Combs Sales director at EtchArt. “A Wallpaper for Windows treatment can dress a glass surface in minutes, transforming plain glass into a decorative focus.”

Additionally, the decorative window film reduces glare, softens harsh sunlight, and filters harmful UV rays that contribute to fading of drapes, carpets and furniture. The 8-mil thick vinyl film provides an insulating layer to save energy.

“The versatility of Wallpaper for Windows makes it the perfect design solution for today’s non-traditional windows,” said Combs. “Everything from arched and transom windows to sidelights, French and storm doors, to tub windows and mirrors can be enhanced with the look and feel of decorative glass.”

Wallpaper For WindowsTM is an easy do-it-yourself product that any homeowner or renter can apply in minutes. The film is trimmed to size with scissors or utility knife by drawing the desired size or shapes on the backing paper and trimming. To apply, first wet glass with water; next remove film from backing paper and position on wet glass. Using the included squeegee to remove excess water and air completes the application.    

Wallpaper For Windows is warranted against yellowing or fading for 3 years. Regardless of how many years it is enjoyed, eventually it will be time to redecorate and remove the film from the glass. It is even easier to remove this adhesive-free film than it was to apply, simply pull back a corner of the film and peel away from the glass.

Suggested retails of this miracle film range from $ 19.95 to $ 85 depending on the size of the window or glass door. To see all the available designs and information visit http://www.wallpaperforwindows.com.

Bullet proof car attack

Ogden, Utah (PRWEB) December 11, 2010

International Armoring Corporation (IAC), a world leader in the design and manufacturing of armored passenger vehicles, announced that the recent random shooting of Hollywood Publicist Ronni Chasen, has increased the demand, by over 150%, for armored passenger vehicles in the U.S., especially in California. Sales and inquiries have come from public figures as well as a number of private individuals that are concerned with their personal and family’s safety. This increase in demand follows up the recent U.S. demand for armored passenger vehicles on the border with Mexico.

Virtually any vehicle can be armored to protect passengers of these vehicles from high powered hand-guns (like the one used in Ronni Chasen’s attack) or even high powered rifle attacks. With the use of IAC’s proprietary ARMORMAX® armoring materials, weight added is less than 400 lbs. on a fully armored handgun protected vehicle. Prices begin at $ 5,800 for a fully armored vehicle door (including curved, original looking ballistic glass). Many clients request all four doors or just the glass be armored. Install time takes 5 – 10 days for these door armoring packages. Clients in the U.S. usually provide their own vehicles for armoring.

“Armored passenger vehicles in the U.S. are no longer just for the rich and famous. Gone are the days of feeling it will never happen to me.” said Mark Burton, CEO of International Armoring Corporation. “These vehicles can provide a peace of mind to anyone who feels a perceived threat. These converted vehicles maintain their original appearance and performance yet protect occupants against those random acts of violence that appear more common every day.”

Though the demand for armored vehicles is predominantly outside the United States (i.e. Mexico, Nigeria, Philippines, Middle East) recent events within the U.S. has caused Americans to re-evaluate their personal safety. As tragic events (such as the shooting of Ms. Chasen) become headline news, the demand from IAC for armored vehicles increase. A simple armored door and window can save a life and provide peace of mind.

About International Armoring Corporation (IAC): Founded in 1993 in Ogden, Utah. IAC has numerous facilities around the world. IAC has built over 7,000 armored passenger vehicles – having been shipped to over 50 different countries, including 38 different foreign presidents and heads of state. Governments, militaries, international corporations, religious leaders (the Pope), celebrities, vehicle manufacturers, and other individuals use IAC vehicles. IAC was the originator and designer of high tech fibers (“ARMORMAX®”). ARMORMAX® reduces added armor weight by 40 – 60%.    IAC recently announced a contract with an international security firm to armor over 750 vehicles.

VW Beetle – one of influx’s top ten German cars

(PRWeb UK) December 18, 2009

The latest edition of the online, interactive version of the turbo-charged motor and biking magazine influx, from Adrian Flux Insurance Services, features all things German.

The article ‘Influx Top Ten German Cars of All Time’, lists the definitive top ten cars to come out of Germany according to the petrol-heads at influx, ranging from the first patented automobile to super-powerful F1 racing cars. Disagree? Then log on to influx and have your say.

Germany has produced some of the most significant cars in history. They’re not just reliable, but fast, stylish and innovative to boot. Though it may pain us to say it, Germany gave birth to probably the best Formula One driver of all time and with their reputation for brilliant motor engineering, Germany and all things automotive go hand-in-hand.

Influx’s top ten includes the Benz Patent Motorwagen, the first ever patented automobile, two BMWs, two VWs and two Porsches, the 911 and the 917. The 917 is one of the most iconic sports racing cars of all time, largely for its high speeds and high power outputs. The editorial awards Count Rossi’s road-registered version as probably the coolest thing to ever don number plates.

Unsurprisingly, the Volkswagen Beetle features in the top ten, originally called Volkswagen Type 1, then Käfer (German for ‘Beetle’), it was one of the most influential cars of the 20th Century, paving the way for other compact cars to follow.

Influx online is more than just an online magazine, it’s fast becoming a web-based motoring community where users can exchange information about the featured stories. If they think Audi, Opel, Trabant or even the Smart car deserved to make the top spots, influx users can log on and have their say.

As well as the ten of the best, the latest edition of influx features an article on Bavarian Motor Works, German bike technology and influx meets four German car nuts. Plus, influx examines German motorsport heritage with reports on the Nurburgring and Audi Quattro.

Influx is published by Adrian Flux Insurance Services, the specialist motoring insurance broker. For details contact the Adrian Flux quote line on 0800 081 8989, email the company at quotes@adrianflux.co.uk or see the Flux homepage on http://www.adrianflux.co.uk

AirAdvice Logo

Portland, OR (PRWEB) September 20, 2007

AirAdvice, Inc., has appointed recognized industry experts Isaac Simpson and Gary Frayn to head the company’s two new business divisions, HomeAdvice™ and BuildingAdvice™.

AirAdvice developed the two new divisions in response to both a recognized need for focused, innovative building performance assessment solutions and to meet the challenges faced by the commercial HVAC industry and facilities management professionals.

“Eighteen months ago we launched the first version of our commercial building performance diagnostic tools. Our time in the field has helped us to recognize the differing needs of commercial contractors, building owners, and facilities managers, and the residential HVAC contractors we have traditionally served,” says Jim Crowder, AirAdvice CEO. “The organization we are announcing today positions us to deliver systems and programs that better address the specific requirements unique to residential and commercial HVAC and building performance professionals. We’re fortunate to already have two very capable leaders within our company that can immediately begin to implement strategies to help all of our customers grow their businesses and enable more comfortable, energy-efficient and healthy indoor environments.”

Isaac Simpson, vice president of contractor services, heads the HomeAdvice division. With over 10 years of air quality and environmental sciences experience in government, research and business settings as well as in the HVAC industry, Simpson brings a broad depth of residential HVAC know-how to his work out in the field with contractors, distributors, and manufacturers. He is a frequently-booked speaker and trainer as well as a CIE (Certified Indoor Environmentalist) and a NATE (North American Technician Excellence) proctor.

“The HomeAdvice focus is on delivering more of what our contractors told us they wanted,” says Simpson. “More diagnostics, more information for their customers on energy and system performance. HomeAdvice is about helping contractors serve their customers. We’ve got some exciting new technology and program updates set to launch this fall — it’s a whole new level of home diagnostics, developed as a direct result of contractor input and initiative.”

Gary Frayn, AirAdvice vice president of commercial development, leads the BuildingAdvice division. Frayn’s years of building technology management and development expertise as well as a background in mechanical engineering and technical sales put him in a unique position to meet and anticipate the needs of contractors, facility managers, building owners, and other building performance professionals. His track record includes leading multiple national sales teams and driving record levels of revenue growth in the building technologies industry.

“The new BuildingAdvice technologies and programs set to launch shortly will put users head and shoulders ahead of their competition,” says Frayn. “One of the great advantages of the BuildingAdvice system is that it is so powerful and comprehensive, yet incredibly easy to use. Our goal is to make it easy for contractors and building performance professionals to identify, assess and resolve today’s top building performance concerns: comfort complaints, high energy costs, sustainability issues and more.”
