One of my students is updating his CV in English. A few years ago he was working for an international law firm in Madrid and they sent him to London for 7 months to work in their branch over there.

He said 'seconded to our sister firm in London' but it seems wrong to me, as does 'transferred..' because it implies permanence. If only he was a footballer I could say he was loaned

Book a stay at the BrookLodge & Macreddin Village, a hotel located in a secluded Co. Wicklow Valley, just over an hour from Dublin International Airport.
Top class.
You will need the following:
Sat Nav
Buggy (if you play the top class golf course)

2002 - 2008 - sales manager - santander - madrid
2004 - 2005 - sales manger - santander - London
I know some peole think it looks messy and confusing but as someone who reads a lot of CV's we can crack this code
Avoid any phrasing that way as they are usually inaccurate.
secondeded is about the closest if he needs to use one but avoid loaned for the obv, transfered is to permant and contracted means something totaly different.

So I spent a good bit of the last few days looking at different programs to recover the data. Most seemed to suggest they would recover the data but not all of it and the file structure wouldn't be maintained leaving me to sort through the data (900gigs) output myself. Someone suggested I try Linux so I booted ubuntu from a livecd but it wouldn't mount the disk.
Then I came across the most amazing little program called TestDisk. Its a little DOS based app that took a good bit of search to figure out how to use as little documentation seems to exist. I am now using it able to see every file that is on the inaccessible harddrive and all file structure is intact. Just tested copying off a bunch of movies with Testdisk and all of them worked perfectly.
God I am so fucking relieved.
Opr
have a good few apps at home (including that one above)
My default line is to go with a live cd but glad you got sorted in the end.People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

KO'd quickly after recommending a laptop last night, can't say enough how much you should get it online and not in store! Unless you can match this spec and price. Think this is exactly what you're looking for!

I don't watch much TV apart from sports and the odd comedy and Discovery channel. But I really like 'Being Human'.
Got a copy of Salems lot (staring David 'don't give up on me baby - Hutch Soul) so will settle down with some beers to rewatch that over the next while.
Anyone drank in that little wine bar off parliament street. Think it's called la dolche vita. Opinions?

Food is good in the restaurant and there is a nice bar downstairs which has music at nights and shows sports.
About 2 hours to the north if you want shopping and close to Nevin Maguires restaurant if you wanted to treat herself. Cavan town is only mins drive away.
