Sebastian Coates of Liverpool FC & Uraguay International – Music BT Breakbeat Mix 3 am Position: Defender Age: 20 Birth Date: Oct 7, 1990 Birth Place: Montevideo, Uruguay Height: 6′ 6” (1.98m) Weight: 75 kg Sebastian Coates’ CV: 2011 Copa America winner 2011 Copa America Young Player of the Tournament 2010/11, 2008/09 Uruguayan Championship winner 2010/11 Uruguayan Championship Player of the Season 2010/11, 2009/10 Uruguayan Championship Defender of the Season 2008/09 Uruguayan Championship Revelation of the Season Uruguay star Sebastian Coates claims Luis Suarez helped convince him to join Liverpool ahead of Manchester City. Coates is expected on Merseyside before the weekend, after his Uruguayan club Nacional accepted Liverpool’s £7million offer. The centre-half, who was voted the best player at this summer’s Copa America, says he is shunning interest from megabucks City to team up with countryman Suarez at Anfield. “The offer ticks all the boxes, so you can say that the transfer is a done deal,” said Coates. “The chance to move to Liverpool is very attractive. “It’s a club with a lot of tradition and history in English football, and the fact that Luis is there is a great help for me. “I have spoken to him. He got in touch with me and we had a chat. It is good there is another Uruguayan already in the team – it is easier if there is someone I know well. “He has told me what the club is like. It’s important because he won over the fans straight away and is scoring lots …
Metro Bank opened its doors for business in London in July, with its unusual mandate to “eliminate every stupid bank rule” found. Since the introduction of the first retail bank store, how have they been received by the public and how successful have they been? Find out with this Metro Bank review and up-date.
Until this year, the term ‘retail banking’ was relatively unknown in the UK. Many people had never even heard of retail banking, which in case you didn’t know, is a one-stop bank shop. Taking care of your money is only the start: they also transfer money, provide loans, give financial advice and insurance, offer foreign exchange services as well as the usual savings advice.
The Metro Bank store, with its brand new concept of 24/7 telephone call centre and treats for both children and pets, is designed to give you a “better customer experience”, with light and airy lobby space, no glass security panels, customer toilets and free coin-counting machines.
Added to this “experience” comes better availability, with opening hours of 8am-8pm five days a week and differing hours for Saturdays and Sundays. The only closures are Christmas Day, New Year’s Day and Good Friday. Their top trump is the answer to much customer frustration – a human voice at the end of the telephone instead of a machine.
So far, so good, but how have they fared? Have they seen confidence expressed by the London public? Well, it is still very early days, but a recent news review says that the bank is ahead of internal targets it set for itself. There is planned expansion of another 100 jobs on top of the 150 previously created and a waiting list of 200 people to open business accounts. They could be seen to have done very well.
Also just out is the announcement of a new “mold-breaking” credit card to be launched in America – the Metro Bank Personal Visa Credit Card. It boasts a 9.9% annual percent rate with no late fees, annual fees or balance transfer fees. Considering that the average rate for other credit cards is 16.7%, it could prove very popular.
Metro Bank Chairman Gary L Nalbandian says that the rate starts low and stays low, and that “no fees means no fees”, not in six months, twelve months, or ever. The credit card services will also have online account access, as well as the 24/7 call centre.
Whilst the first new bank in a 100 years opens it doors, other banks can only watch and wait. Captivating the curiosity and confidence of the public, Metro Bank have been quick to seize the moment and expand. As you watch and wait yourself, spare a thought as to how you can expand and create more wealth for yourself. Since creaky financial structures have given way over the last few years, we have learnt to not put all our eggs in one basket. Branching out into other wealth-creating activities seems a wise thing to do.

******* Please Read************ This is my first ever season review and comp of one player. Im new to Sony Vegas Pro 9 so dont be to harsh with the criticism, There maybe 1 or 2 mistakes as my computer was acting up at the time :S Please Enjoy NOTE some goals or assits may not be there due to the fact that my codec was not working or i thought they were to simple to add ext. This was Fabregas best season at Arsenal by far it was a shame he was unable to end it with a trophy. The spanish captin played some great football and scored a tally of 19 goals as he helped the team to a 3rd place finish in the league. There has been alot of transfer speculation as to weather he leaves this season, Dont be bitter because he is going to his home club its only right to respect his decision because he has been a great player for our club. Although i do hope he stays to lift the Premier League Trophy next season

The two leading credit card companies in the world today are the competitors Visa and MasterCard. They both operate along very similar lines. While Visa can claim to have almost a billion cards issued, MasterCard has over twenty five thousand banks issuing its cards and it is difficult to find any difference in the number of locations worldwide that accept the cards, which is now estimated at over twenty million.
In fact, as far as most consumers are concerned, there is no real difference between the two. They are both very widely accepted in over one hundred and fifty countries and it is very rare to find a location that will accept one but not the other.
However, neither Visa nor MasterCard actually issue any credit cards themselves. They are both simply methods of payment. They rely on banks in various countries to issue credit cards that utilise these payment methods. Therefore, the interest rates, rewards, annual fees, and all other charges are issued by your bank and when you pay your bill you are paying it to the bank or institution that issued your card and not Visa or MasterCard.
How Visa and MasterCard make their money is by charging the retailer for using their payment method. So the truth of the matter is that a Visa issued by say the Bank of Scotland will have very little to do with a Visa issued by other banks and may in fact by more similar to the Bank of Scotland’s MasterCard.
What this means for the vast majority of customers is that you do not have to overly concern yourself with whether a credit card is MasterCard or Visa. You would be better off concentrating on the interest and other charges on the card, the balance transfer possibilities or their reward scheme. You are very unlikely to ever be effected by the fact that it is one and not the other.
If you prefer, if you are going to have two credit cards, you may decide that you want one of them to be Visa and the other MasterCard, this means that if something drastic were to happen to one company, or if you were in the unlikely position of finding a location that accepts one but not the other, then you would have the option of paying with either.
At the end of the day however, much more depends on the bank that gave you the card, than on the type of card it is.

When you need credit, getting it fast is always better than waiting. To find out how fast you can get a credit card, you only need to do a little research, and know what to look for. Good advice can help you get a new card fast, when you need it for a special purchase, vacation, or other immediate purpose.
Many credit companies today will allow you to complete an application online. The benefit of this process is that you can find out almost immediately if you qualify for a card. The application is the same as a paper application, mainly personal information and other details that allow the issuer to check your credit history. Submitting your information using an online application speeds up the process, because the card company can check the details electronically, and make a decision right away.
The application process isn’t the slow part of the process of getting a credit card, however. Banks and card issuers can approve or deny your application in just minutes today. The part of the process that takes time is issuance of the plastic itself. You might call to find out in advance how long a card issuer takes to send you the card, or check the issuer’s website to see if there is information that tells you how fast you can get your credit card once you are approved. Some cards take weeks to be issued and sent to you. Some companies make it a policy to get your card into your hands within a week. If your card is customized, with a personal picture or other graphic, it can take a little longer to make the card and send it out. For faster service, you may want to go with a generic card design.
If you really need the card in a hurry, you can ask customer service whether there is a priority service available. Many issuers will create and send the card in a matter of days, sometimes for free but often for an extra fee. It might be worth it to you, if you’re leaving on vacation for example, and need to take it with you. Be sure to call the card issuer’s toll free number to find out if you have such an option.
When it comes to finding out how fast you can get a credit card, be sure to apply online for the fastest decision. After you’re approved, it’s only a matter of days before you have your new card.
