Q A
Cloverdale Computer & Art Den
What can I expect on a road test? Your Class 7N or Class 5 road test will be conducted by an ICBC examiner for approximately 30 minutes. The test will begin with a check of your vehicle’s safety features. Once on the road, the test will include right and left turns, through-intersections, general driving and vehicle handling. You will be evaluated on your ability to successfully apply these five basic skills: 1. Communication (proper use of signalling before turns and manoeuvres) 2. Steering (no palming or underhand turning) 3. Speed (keep to posted speeds and watch for playgrounds and school zones) 4. Space (proper lane and stop position, understanding of right-of-ways i.e. 4-way stops) 5. Observation (shoulder checking into the blind spot before turning right and changing lanes) The Class 7N test (permitted after one year of the learner stage) includes manoeuvres such as parallel parking, curb and hill pullovers, and reverse stall parking. The Class 5 test (permitted after two years of safe driving in the novice stage) has less manoeuvres but requires driving on a 70 km/h+ highway and a running commentary to point out perceived road hazards. We welcome the opportunity to teach you safe driving techniques in a relaxed and friendly environment and assist you on your road to success! Teaching Safe Drivers of The Future

A Q A Q
A Q A
This does happen. The anti-virus program will use up your valuable CPU or you could have a pre-existing virus. You can test and see how much of your CPU Kaperski is using. If this is the problem uninstall and use a different anti-virus program such as Trend Micro’s 2011 Maximum Security. Do you still pick up and deliver for free? Yes! If I have you build a computer for me do you transfer over all my data and hardware as well? Yes, we will transfer your emails, data, pictures and hardware too. Will it cost me anything to transfer my data? Minimal Can I get a discount for trading in my old computer for a new PC? Most of the time yes, depending on your computer. Some are too old and we recycle them. I need an OS for maximum gaming “Supposed reduced memory footprint of the operating system”. If you have a legal copy of Windows XP, just get Tiny XP Beast Edition. Only takes around 40 MB of RAM, and has tons of tweaks that help improve gaming. There’s a lot of stuff taken out, but most of it can be easily replaced.

Q A
Should I list my home during the holidays? 10 reasons why you should list your home during the holidays: 1. Most December and early January buyers are particularly serious and very likely facing some sort of deadline. 2. January is the biggest transfer month of the year and job transferee’s use the holidays to house hunt. 3. Many people want to buy before the end of the year for financial and tax reasons. Investors usually want to close by year-end for tax purposes. 4. Most sellers wait until spring or summer to list their home. This means that during the winter months your property will have far less competition versus any other time of the year. 5. Homes show well when decorated for the holidays creating a sense of family and people are much more emotionally drawn to the house, emotion sells. 6. Many people take vacation around the holidays allowing more time to look for a home. 7. Remodelling, decorating, appliance installation and other services are more available and at less of a premium. 8. There is plenty of mortgage money available for buyers. 9. Lenders aren’t as busy and can process mortgage loans faster. 10. Showings will be fewer and less intrusive, but more likely to be fruitful with motivated, qualified buyers. “Thinking of buying or selling? Call The Lunders today”

I send resume after resume but I can’t get an interview. What am I doing wrong? Here are three of the more common issues and the fixes: 1) Your resume is not showcasing your skills and experience they way it should. Call us to create a professional resume for you. Have that resume stand out amongst all the others. There is a cost involved, but what is the cost to you of not getting the interview? 2) You are applying to jobs you really are not qualified for. This is the biggest one, I see it every day. I can not tell you how frustrated my applicant screeners get over people sending in resumes for jobs that they have no business applying to. You are not doing yourself any favours. We are sure many of you can do the job one day, that you are a quick learner, but employers want someone to come in and hit the ground running. Please make sure you really have the listed requirements for the role. 3) The people that display constant growth and learning about their chosen profession are getting the interview ahead of you. It may be time to upgrade your skills. Hang tight, there is a great job for everyone out there. Yours will come.

Neck pain
Q
I have pain above my shoulder and in my upper arm. My doctor says that the pain is referred from my neck. What does this mean?
A
The nerves that supply the arm and shoulder arise from the neck. Any irritation to the nerves in the form of swelling, inflammation or increased pressure can cause pain in the region of the arm/shoulder supplied by the respective nerves. Management of this condition should focus on the following. Ultrasound, electromagnetic therapy and laser are used to decrease pain and inflammation. Ice the back of the neck for 10-15minutes 2-3x day. Spinal mobilization, massage, trigger point therapy and manual release techniques are used to relieve muscle tension and to regain mobility and spinal alignment. Education and posture correction play an important role in restoring function and preventing recurrence of injury. Keep your neck in the midline position. Avoid working, watching T.V and speaking on the phone with your neck in a rotated and tilted position. When lying down ensure that your neck is adequately supported by pillows which keep your neck in line with the centre of your chest. A gradual core stability program will help to regain postural stability in the neck, back and shoulder. A physiotherapy assessment will help to identify the cause of injury and a comprehensive treatment program can help to relieve the pain.
