Ultimate Escape FAQs
Not sure about booking Ultimate Escape Game Rooms? Find the answers to Frequently Asked Questions or contact us if your query is not covered.
What are Escape Games?
Escape games originated online and soon became extremely popular worldwide. The idea was to discover and solve a sequence of clues which would eventually lead to your escape from a virtual room. This has become even more popular now it has extended into the real world where you work as a team to solve the clues. We have taken this several stages further where the aim is not simply to escape, but to reach a themed goal, such as solve a murder or unravel the paradoxes of time travel. We have even added role play into our CSI Murder Mystery game to make it even more challenging and fun!
Why Escape Games?
Escape games are fun and give a great sense of achievement - if you succeed! They are good for any occasion, and ideal for team building exercises as they require working together as a team. An efficient team can collect and collate information, identify the clues and solve the puzzle. An inefficient team just confuse and hinder each other! How will your team do?
Can I bring an extra player on the day?
Yes. Extra Players can pay £22.00 + VAT each to join a team on the day - as long as there is space in the room!
When should we arrive?
You should aim to arrive approximately 10 minutes before your allotted time to allow time for us to brief you on your objectives.
Is there a minimum age?
Not really. There is no physical reason that would stop children of any age from participating, but the puzzles may be a little demanding for younger children. Although this is a dificult one. Sometimes children can be the only ones able to open child proof locks. You know your kids, so we leave it up to your discretion!
Are the games suitable for pregnant women?
We have had many pregnant women playing our games. There is nothing strenuous to be done in any room, but Escape Games can require you to be on your feet for an hour. A chair can be provided if this becomes a problem. The CSI Murder Mystery would probably be better for a heavily pregnant woman as there is generally less rushing about required in that game.
Are there any restrictions?
Smoking or alcohol are not allowed in the rooms. Taking pictures or videos is strictly forbidden. Do not reveal the tricks or solutions to your friends or the public. You've heard of spoiler alert!
Can I cancel or reschedule?
A full refund will be made if you cancel, or you can reschedule if you can give 7 days notice prior to your booked time. We cannot accept cancellations or offer any refunds within 7 days.
Do you have disabled facilities?
Unfortunately no. All rooms are on the second floor which means there are stairs to climb.
Am I risking anything by paying in full?
No. If you have to cancel more than 7 days prior to your booking a full refund will be made. If you cancel within 7 days 50% of the monies paid will be refunded. This works out exactly the same as if you had only paid a deposit.
What if we are late?
Don't be! No refunds can be given for lateness or no-shows as it is entirely your responsibility to be here at your allotted time. You have booked a specific time slot and cannot overrun as others will be following behind you. If you are just a little late you may still be able to attempt the quest with less time to complete it, but if this is not viable you will forfeit your deposit.

Temple Run
Share-Games Exclusive Review :
Please vote this game
Supported Platform:
Temple Run is a wonderful Parkour game. This game is widely accepted by many players since its official release. Generally speaking, this game has three its own distinctive advantages. The first advantage is that this game adopted full 3D third-person perspective. So it will give players a kind of visual enjoyment because other similar games just adopted 2D perspective. So this is a eye-catching point of this game. The second advantage is the rich content of this game. Besides running, players can collect golden coins. With these golden coins, they can buy relative powerful tools and help the victim ger run away from the capture of those monsters. At the same time, players need to be familiar with all kinds of obstacles and traps in this game. Otherwise, they need to start this game all over again. The last advantage is the ancient graphics of this game. They are very classic with perfect allocation of different colors. Maybe the most successful one is the temple. It is pictured specifically in this game. Besides, it is really very vivid. So all of the pictures in this game has some aesthetic or artistic value. Anyway, this is a really wonderful game, you should try it. It will be thrilling to play it.

A step back in time to the Jurassic period courtesy of an ever popular children's toy has proved to be one of Preston's most successful events.
Unfortunately for those who missed out, the Brick Dinos exhibition at the Harris Museum is now extinct but not before it attracted around 40,000 visitors.
Cultural bosses at the town hall are hoping it is a sign of things to come in terms of a golden period at the iconic venue
Coun Peter Kelly, cabinet member for culture and leisure, said: "Brick Dinos has been our most successful exhibition yet in terms of visitors, attracting almost 40,000 people – that works out at more than 600 per day. The feedback from families was absolutely fantastic.
"They really enjoyed the different elements and range of hands-on activities on offer."
The exhibition, which ran from July, taking in the school holidays, featured both life-size and miniature dinosaurs made from toy blocks.
All were created with pain-staking detail by palaeontologist and artist Warren Elsmore and his team who have taken the models all over the country in recent years.
It proved to be a hit both with youngsters and adults alike with a whole host of models on display complimented by an interactive room where visitors could take part in a mock archaeological dig.
Visitors immediately came face-to-face with a life-size Masiakasaurus and those brave enough to venture close enough were greeted with a load roar from the scary creature.
Families also had the chance to see whether they could all fit inside a huge dinosaur footprint along with handy guides to learn about dinosaur life.
The Harris recently secured a five-year funding plan boost from the Arts Council but missed out on a once in a generation handout of £10m from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF).
Coun Kelly and colleagues from the Re-Imagining Harris project at the museum have previously said successful exhibitions and increasing visitor footfall will help in future bids for HLF funding.
He added: "Attracting new audiences into the Harris is very important for us, which is why a variety of exhibitions are on offer throughout the building. We also held two autism-friendly sessions for the first time which went down very well."

How women play an integral role in the pieces on display at the recently opened museum in Abu Dhabi.
The woman's dark hair is parted in the middle, accented across the forehead by a delicate chain and jewel, and tied up in a low chignon in the back. Her outfit and adornments are stylish but not lavish, standard for both her station and stage in life.
The look on her face is hard to peg: she appears serene, if not a bit impatient, perhaps the slightest bit mischievous, and quite possibly throwing some of the earliest recorded side-eye to the left.

La Belle Ferronnière, one of Leonardo da Vinci's rare paintings also known as Portrait of an Unknown Woman, is one of the high-profile loans made to the new Louvre Abu Dhabi for its first year. She is also one of the many "Ladies of the Louvre Abu Dhabi" to look for when visiting the long awaited museum, which opened its doors to the public on November 11.
Featured throughout the 600 pieces shown in 55 buildings and 23 galleries under the museum's massive white dome, 300 as part of the permanent collection, the women can be viewed in a variety of forms: painted in exquisite portraiture, formed in rough sculpture, encased in sarcophagi and through the lens of early photographs. More rarely in the past, but increasingly in modern times, they are the artists themselves.
Although there are many who believe the identity of the woman depicted in La Belle Ferronnière remains a mystery, Martin Kemp, professor of art history at University of Oxford, a Leonardo expert and author of the newly published book Mona Lisa: The People and The Painting, isn't one of them.
Kemp believes the woman is Lucrezia Crivelli, mistress to Leonardo's patron, the Duke of Milan, Ludovico Sforza, and mother to his son. The painting is one of only four portraits Leonardo painted of women, with the others being Lady with the Ermine, which depicts another of Sforza's mistresses, Cecilia Gallerani; the Florentine aristocrat Ginevra de' Benci and, of course, the Mona Lisa.
Kemp is reasonably assured La Belle Ferronnière is Crivelli, because there are poems that refer to the actual execution of the painting, and the date lines up: Leonardo lived in Milan from 1482 until 1499, and the painting was done sometime between 1490 and 1496. Most telling, however, is the way the woman is poised.
"There's a very characteristic way that he paints the duke's mistresses, rather than the members the court," explains Kemp. "Members of the court, the high-ranking people, were always shown in profile. Interestingly when Leonardo came to portrait other women who obviously didn't have that high aristocratic status, he went what I call 'freestyle'.
"He turned the figures towards you, he used their eyes and their mouths to communicate the nature of the subject. I think La Belle Ferronnière looks out in our direction but actually looks, if you trace it, slightly above eye line, so somebody of importance is being looked at who is more elevated than us."
La Belle Ferronnière was the first artwork that the Abu Dhabi Tourism and Culture Authority, the Musée du Louvre and Agence France-Muséums announced would be loaned to the Louvre Abu Dhabi from the Louvre in Paris during its first year in operation. The painting's stay in Abu Dhabi, after a stint at the Milan Expo in 2015 followed by a restoration in Paris, not only marks the first time it has been outside Europe, but the first time a Leonardo has been shown anywhere in the Middle East.
"Any painting by Leonardo, in that we have under 20 surviving, is obviously an item of major interest," says Kemp.
It had long been thought, Kemp points out, that perhaps the parapet in front of Crivelli, which was not a standard technique in Leonardo's paintings, may have been added some time later. However examination at the Louvre during the restoration showed that not to be true.
"It's interesting that the figure is set above a parapet, above that stone band along the bottom, which is unusual for Leonardo," says Kemp. "But we know that he was aware of portraits by Venetian artists, particularly Giovanni Bellini. He sets his portraits very often behind a parapet, it's a way of setting it up in space. It gives a kind of distance between us and the picture surface."
The Louvre Abu Dhabi provides a neat link between Leonardo and that painter whose technique he may have admired — or at least attempted to emulate — in Bellini's Madonna and Child, an oil on panel painted between 1480 and 1485, acquired as part of the Louvre Abu Dhabi's permanent collection.
Considered the father of Renaissance painting, Bellini specialised in such devotional depictions. Yet while the Louvre Abu Dhabi's painting is typically luminous, unlike many of his others that also feature landscapes, it offers only darkness in the background.
There is, however, a parapet, which in this case acts like an alter. The child sits on it, atop the Madonna's scarlet robes, gazing up at her as she looks lovingly down on him, her hands in prayer position.
Another very important part of the permanent collection is Ayoucha whole fig[ure], the earliest known depiction of a veiled woman. The daguerreotype, which features a shimmery image captured in mercury on copper plate, shows the top two-thirds of a sturdy, broad-shouldered woman known as Cairene. She is clad in a thick abaya with heavy folds, staring into the camera from some distance. There is nothing else in the photograph.
The image was taken in 1843 Egypt, by the French artist and photographer Joseph-Philibert Girault de Prangey when he was on a tour of the Middle East, and remained in his private archive until the Louvre Abu Dhabi acquired it in 2011.
The early photography method Girault de Prangey used to capture Cairene was painstaking and expensive. It involves polishing a sheet of silver-plated copper, treating it with fumes to make the surface light-sensitive, then using mercury vapor to reveal the image. It was then treated, rinsed and sealed behind glass.
The result is ethereal, with the colors changing as it appears either positive or negative according to angle and lighting.
"It is an image that will become one of the icons of 19th century photography," Laurence des Cars, the former curatorial director of Agence France-Muséums and now director of the Musée d'Orsay, told The National in 2013. "You are dealing with a very rare and fine example of a new technique in 19th century art."
The American neo-conceptual artist Jenny Holzer is worlds away from the subject of Girault de Prangey's postcard-sized Ayoucha, but her bespoke installation will also be featured under the same great canopy of the Louvre Abu Dhabi when it opens.
Holzer's piece is titled, aptly, For Louvre Abu Dhabi. Although she is often known for using light, most recently seen in her current exhibition, Softer, at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, Holzer's Louvre Abu Dhabi piece features something much different. It has been reported that in it, she has used three stone walls to feature historical texts, some culled from the Arab historian Ibn Khaldun's 1377 The Muqaddimah.
Roxane Zand, Sotheby's deputy chairman for the Middle East, called the choice of Holzer "enlightened" and "inspiring."
"That is extremely exciting, because in the conceptual world there aren't that many women who are as successful as the level of Jenny Holzer, so that in itself is significant, that a female artist has been chosen," says Zand. "Secondly, she's at the forefront of her field and to have an American woman having a work there is a significant thing."
Another female subject, on loan to Louvre Abu Dhabi from the Collection Centre Pompidou, is Alberto Giacometti's Standing Woman II, circa 1959-1960. The Surrealist Swiss painter-sculptor's figure, with its rough surface and elongated, emaciated frame, embodies one of his standard themes: the unclothed woman.
A search for meaning and truth is believed to have driven the obsessive artist, whose work was the subject of a major retrospective earlier this year at the Tate Modern. In a letter to an art dealer in his prime, he describes the depths plumbed during five years spent battling through a piece that he had thought would take mere weeks: "Nothing was as I imagined. A head, became for me an object completely unknown and without dimensions."
A woman is also among the stars of works from ancient Egypt that can be seen at the Louvre Abu Dhabi, in the form of an Egyptian funeral set for the princess Henuttawy, dating to the latter half of 10th century BCE.
The set includes three wooden coffins — two beautifully painted and preserved, the third in fragments – and her cocoon-protected body. Featuring the open eyes set in the typically expressionless gold face of the time, the exterior of Henuttaway's set features another fascinating detail: perfectly aligned and erect gold hands with extraordinarily long and thin fingers.
When the acquisition was unveiled earlier this year, Jean-Francois Charnier, the scientific director of Agence France-Muséums, and head curator for the Louvre Abu Dhabi, told The National he expects Henuttawy to be a centrepiece not only of its Egyptian collection, but the museum as a whole.
"The great care and attention given to the delicate features of the princess's face and her 'living' eyes still watching us across the millennia remind us of the identity of the deceased person, who was a Pharaoh's daughter," the curator explains.
In the permanent collection, an air of mystery and allure surrounds a distinctive, 4,000-year-old sculpture representing one of Central Asia's earliest empires, located in modern-day Afghanistan. She is strangely beautiful, but also slightly alien: 25.3 centimeters in height, wearing a woven dress carved out of a soft, soap stone-style chlorite, her arms outstretched, handless, her ivory face almost mask-like, with curious, sharply oval eyes.
Having the Bactrian Princess places the Louvre Abu Dhabi among other world-class institutions, says Carl Lamberg-Karlovsky, professor of Archaeology and Ethnology at the Harvard University department of anthropology. He estimates there are only about 20 in the world, with most all of the major museums in the world having one in their collection.
"They're highly valuable," he says. "We don't know, of course, how many there are in private collections. If you want to deal with a comprehensive coverage of a bronze age civilisation, having one of those is a benchmark of the Bactrian civilisation. It's a common aspect of a signature piece of that civilisation. It immediately identifies it as Bactrian."
The piece holds much mystery for Dr Lamees Hamdan, the commissioner of the first United Arab Emirates pavilion at the Venice Biennale, and founder and creator of Shiffa.
"I'd like to know more historically about what kind of dress and beauty fabric they were using, did they have oils, did they have makeup, quote unquote, and where did they get it from? Did they get it from their place of origin?" she tells The Art Newspaper. "So just from that one item you can actually look into a whole society. It's important for me, as a woman, to know and be interested in the roles of women, not only in society, and modern societies in different parts of the world, but also ancient civilisations in different parts of the world."

It is believed the Bactrian princesses were used as part of some sort of religious object, or in a ritual — perhaps a funeral.
"The burials that are found are really quite rich, they have pots, pieces of metal, things like that," says Lamberg-Karlovsky. "And in those burials it seems that women have greater amounts of burial goods than men…So that leads to some individuals concluding that the status of women in the Bactrian civilsation was rather high, maybe that's true, maybe it's not."
Entry to the Louvre Abu Dhabi cost Dh60 for adults and Dh30 for those between the ages of 13 and 22, as well as UAE teachers. Members of the UAE loyalty programme, children under
13 and children with special needs are free.

After reviving our supply of refrigerated bread dough last month, we're back on a pizza-making jag. This week's toppings include tomato sauce and chopped sweet peppers from the garden, fresh basil from a greenhouse in Duvall, and mozzarella from Greenbank Farm on Whidbey Island, which we get at the co-op. On a good day we can get one of these puppies into the oven in less than ten minutes. Bake at 450 degrees until the cheese is browned and you've got yourself some solid local eats.
Check out a prior recipe for pizza with caramelized onions, rosemary, and goat cheese, an equally delicious if slightly more labor-intensive pizza that's great as an appetizer or for a meal.

"In commitment we say yes to the unfolding, impenetrable arc of uncertainty.
Love does not arise, abide or dissolve in connection with any particular feeling.
Love has instead become a container within which we live.
Through time, riding mysterious waves of passion, agression and ignorance,
we begin to live within love itself.
Each time we open up, extend ourselves,
accept what is offered or step beyond our comfort zones,
the structure is reinforced.
And if you are looking for a crucible in which to heat compassion,
marriage is a good one…"
– From "I Do?" by Susan Piver
Over the holidays my mother handed me a piece of card stock paper with a poem typed on it. It looked vaguely familiar but I couldn't place where on earth I knew it from. She said, "Don't you remember? Its from your wedding invitation!" I couldn't believe it. It has only been nine years and I'd completely forgotten about this poem and how central it had been to the spirit of how my husband and I were wanting to enter into our marriage vows. It was just what I needed to read again, except this time instead of the word marriage in the last line, I inserted 'family life.'
Indeed family life (marriage included) does feel like a crucible in which to heat compassion, as well as a place where I certainly ride the waves of passion, aggression and ignorance while also simultaneously relaxing into a container of love. The commitment to stay present and keep showing up in the spirit of connection is the glue that often holds it all together for me – especially in the moments where I feel profoundly disappointed, angry or frustrated.
The word 'commit' has its origins in the Latin committere, "to unite, connect, combine; to bring together." Indeed it often feels like the commitment to one another, and to the broader values of love, intimacy and connection, is what brings us together and back together after being apart as we weave our way through the ups and downs of our days. I notice with my six-year-old that there is (after a great deal of work) finally a safety net that we both seem to relax into during and after our most intense moments of conflict. I've practiced telling him again and again "I love you no matter what…we all make mistakes…" And, I am sure to own my part of wrong-doing in moments of discord. We can now seamlessly express our anger, have our outbursts, share our disappointments and frustrations with what went wrong and what we wish went differently, apologize to one another, and end with "I love you. Let's start again." (For those who have been following this blog over the years, you know what a journey it has been to get here!)
Today the role of commitment shone clear as I took some space after raising my voice after 10 'kind' and 'gentle' prompts. It was the 'same old, same old' familial conflict: older sibling messing with younger sibling, mischief underway, constant bantering teetering on the edge of physical harm with the resulting screams and cries of younger sibling striking me like nails on a chalkboard. During my moment of space before re-joining the flow of family life with young children, I take a pause to just feel what I feel. I'm disappointed in how the day has unfolded. I'm disappointed in my son's behavior. I'm also disappointed in myself for raising my voice. I know apologies are in order on both sides, and what helps to pull me back together in order to step forward as my best self is the experience of feeling married to the container (or crucible) of what has become 24-hour-a-day family life coctail. I am wedded to the intentions I (and we) have set over the years per how we want to live together as a family unit. I am committed to holding on to the path of parenting and family life as one of integrity, where I can model humility and vulnerability – and I can own up to my own mistakes while also calling forth the best in my children.
My oldest knocks at the bathroom door and says, "Mama, can you apologize first?" Somehow this makes it easier for him to then apologize for "not listening" and "messing with his brother." He then asks me, "Do you need a hug or anything?" It has taken time, practice and patience, but slowly over the course of these six years since he entered my life we've figured out how to communicate. The path to get here has certainly followed an 'arc of uncertainty,' where I've had to set aside many assumptions and grapple with feelings of failure and inadequacy in the face of what family life demands at times.
And then, Susan's words shine through: Love has become a container within which we live. Through time, riding mysterious waves of passion, agression and ignorance, we begin to live within love itself. Each time we open up, extend ourselves, accept what is offered or step beyond our comfort zones, the structure is reinforced.
Indeed this is the gift that commitment offers up. There is the container of love, yes, that is there to relax into when the commitment itself is fed and nourished. There are also the crazy waves of joy and tenderness coupled with exhaustion and frustration. There is the overwhelming appreciation followed by the intense aggravation. There is the utter chaos of constant movement and noise followed by the quiet moments of snuggles before sleep. There is the fierce kick to the shins right on the heels of the most precious moment of sibling love. And, it all happens in one day.
Family life at its closest (and with young children) is not for the faint of heart. There is no seclusion here, no retreating to quiet, familiar places. There are always fresh invitations, fresh wounds and conflicts, and fresh moments offering fodder for appreciation and seeing with new eyes. There is always a wave to ride. Sometimes jumping off has its allure – but then I realize that the true gifts of staying commited only come to fruition over time and after the hard work of staying present, particularly through difficult spaces. The true gifts are only often revealed when we say a loud Yes! to the crucible of family life – hurt feelings, wild joy, messy chaos, arc of profound uncertainty, and all.

Many of our customers have asked if we can manage their air freight business as well as their European road freight business. Up until the end of 2012, whilst we were able to do this, it was not an area in which we held the level of specialist knowledge necessary to perform such movements to a standard akin to our core services and company ethos. Realising that this was a hole in our portfolio, steps were taken to employ experienced personnel in this field, and during 2013 our modal expansion began.
Air Freight
As our European road freight services were almost as quick as air freight, considering the destinations, it has hardly been of any benefit to our clients to consider air freight. But farther afield, when opening up the rest of the world, the need to utilise air freight becomes a necessity for those shipments that simply cannot wait.
Access to direct airline flights as well as consolidation services enable us to provide the level of urgency that may from time to time be required. Furthermore, with a wide choice of carrier, we are able to provide cost-effective solutions balanced against levels of urgency.
All the best for next year mate thanks for all the help this year. We don't get a better service than Ital anywhere else across the board. Best Regards.

I relieved two scary movies from my REmatch gifter. (I would like to thank every one who has ever been a rematch gifter, you make the world a little brighter with your selflessness!) The first is one that I know for a fact is scary: The Strangers. Do not watch this with your back exposed (I feel the most scared and vulnerable when I don't have my back to a wall while watching scary movies). The second I have yet to watch but am really looking forward to: Texas Chainsaw Massacre in a fancy case! Thank you P.M. For the movies! ((Despite my scared face, I really am glad))

Google Now is of course, an intelligent virtual voice-controlled assistant developed by Google, and competes in the market against Siri from Apple and Cortana from Microsoft. Users of the feature may or may not be familiar with the fact that the search giant records and stores absolutely every little voice search request from all its users. While the feature can be turned off by tweaking some settings on a webpage custom-made by Google for the purpose, the page isn't exactly advertised with any amount of zeal by the Mountain View, California-based search giant. Visiting that particular webpage while logged into one's Google account should give users access to their entire search history not just on Google Now, but also on YouTube along with the general search history on Google's web-based search engine as well as the Google Search mobile application, alongside all location-based data gathered from apps like Google Maps etc.
In case you're wondering how to find out – and indeed delete – what Google has been collecting on you, all you need to do, is visit this particular link after logging into your Google account. The link will allow you to manage your privacy in terms of YouTube, Google search, and location history. From there, you may just choose to disable every single option including YouTube and Google Now, if you don't feel like you want Google to keep track of what exactly you've been up to on the net, while being logged into your Google account. Once you ask Google to stop further chronicling your activity (voice or otherwise), you'll be immediately warned that merely stopping Google from registering your activity won't automatically delete all your previously-recorded search history, including all prior queries spoken into Google Now. To do that, you'll need to visit yet another link provided by Google upon choosing to put an end to Google's methodical cataloging of your online search queries – voice or otherwise. There, you'll find the option to delete all your previous activity either en masse or selectively.
It is however important to remember that while stopping Google from linking your activity to your account may mean the search giant will no longer link your searches to you directly, it won't stop the company from actually recording whatever it is that you're doing on the net. The safest bet to preserve your privacy and not leave any trace locally on your computer or mobile is to use the private browsing mode on your browser. As for Google Now, the voice recorder will continue to record your voice, according to Google, but only anonymously, meaning, your queries won't be linked to your account, and won't show up on your search results.

1910- The first Krazy Kat comic strip- Cartoonist George Herriman was doing a strip for Hearst called "The Family Upstairs". He was amused at the idea of a friendship between a cat and a mouse. So Herriman put them in the corner playing marbles while the family quarreled. First an office boy and later editor Arthur Brisbane suggested they have their own strip. The immortality of the denizens of Coconino County follows, loved by the likes of H.L.Mencken, e.e.cummings and Jacques Kerouac. Krazy herself explains:"It's wot's behind me that I am."

September 16, 1994, Section A, Page 12Buy Reprints
A judge today awarded more than $650,000 in damages and funeral costs to the parents of a Japanese exchange student, saying there was "no justification whatsoever" for the killing of the 16-year-old boy who approached a suburban homeowner's door in a Halloween costume almost two years ago.
The judge's ruling in a case that crystallized major cultural differences between Japan and America contrasted with a criminal court jury's verdict last year, when the homeowner, Rodney Peairs, was acquitted of manslaughter. Judge Bill Brown, who heard the civil case without a jury, condemned the shooting, which had provoked outrage in Japan, where gun ownership is rare.
Speaking in a quiet but firm voice, Judge Brown said that he was not making any "social comment" about gun control, but he made clear that he believed Mr. Peairs was wrong to use his gun.
"There was absolutely no need to the resort of a dangerous weapon," the judge told a crowded and silent courtroom.
[ In Japan, news of the ruling in the civil case led the 11:30 A.M. news on Friday. The report was a straightforward account of the court case, without commentary. ]
Mr. Peairs (pronounced PEERS) strode briskly from the courthouse after the ruling, offering no comment. The lawyer for his insurance company, Louisiana Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Company, said the ruling would be appealed. The company is liable for only $100,000 of the award.
Mr. Peairs was at home with his family in October of 1992 when the student, Yoshihiro Hattori, and an American companion mistakenly rang his doorbell in search of a Halloween party. Mr. Peairs's wife, Bonnie, answered and, frightened, yelled to her husband to get his gun. Mr. Peairs shot Mr. Hattori dead after warning him to "freeze," a phrase the young man apparently did not understand.
The verdict in the 1993 criminal trial was as baffling to Mr. Hattori's parents and their countrymen as the shooting itself. But the acquittal could be attributed in part to a defense that portrayed Mr. Peairs, then a butcher at a local supermarket, as simply an ordinary, gun-owning homeowner responding in a normal way.
A precedent in Louisiana law establishes that a homicide can be considered justifiable self-defense if "the person who is attacked" believes "that he is in imminent danger of losing his life or receiving serious personal injury." But today Judge Brown, whom local lawyers view as conservative in his rulings and his politics, said: "There was no justification whatsoever that the killing was necessary to save himself or his family."
Mr. Hattori's parents, Masaichi and Mieko, who both testified, said afterward that they were pleased, and their lawyer, Charles Moore, described the monetary award as "generous." Preserving the calm, stoic demeanor she has kept throughout, Mrs. Hattori read from a statement she prepared after the judge's ruling. "We are satisfied to finally find out with whom the responsibility belongs," she said.
The Hattoris have campaigned in the United States for gun control since the shooting, and Mrs. Hattori today appealed to Americans to exercise more care in their use of guns. Mr. Moore said whatever money the couple collected in the case would be given to a foundation the couple had established in Yoshihiro Hattori's name.
From the beginning, the case has been a window on the vast difference between Japanese and American attitudes toward guns. The criminal trial was followed intensely by the Japanese media, and although there have been fewer reporters from Japan at the civil trial, they still constituted a substantial presence at the East Baton Rouge Parish Courthouse here. During the criminal trial, a representative from the Japanese Consul General's Office in New Orleans was in attendance, but not this time.
Mr. Hattori, an engineer for a manufacturer of automobile parts in Nagoya, filed suit for unspecified damages two months after Mr. Peairs's acquittal on the manslaughter charge. That verdict was a disappointment to the couple, and they filed a civil suit because they wanted "to show that what happened was not right," Mr. Moore said this week.
The Hattoris had initially been resistant to the idea of a lawsuit. However, after the acquittal in the criminal trial they became more receptive to the idea.
The events surrounding the shooting were described over three days of testimony, much of it similar to the accounts offered during Mr. Peairs's manslaughter trial, and the same questions were left unanswered. Chief among those were why Mrs. Peairs felt such terror on seeing Mr. Hattori and why her husband didn't wait longer before firing his gun.
On the evening of Oct. 17, 1992, Mr. Hattori and his American host, Webb Haymaker, were looking for a Halloween party in a blue-collar neighborhood. Mr. Hattori was costumed as the protagonist from the movie "Saturday Night Fever." Mr. Haymaker was not in costume. Lost, they stopped outside the Peairs house, which had Halloween decorations on the door. The family was sitting down to supper when the doorbell rang, and Mrs. Peairs answered.
She testified at both trials that she saw Mr. Hattori moving rapidly toward her with a gait that struck her as odd. Terrified, she slammed the door shut and called for her husband to get his gun.
Mr. Peairs rushed to retrieve a loaded .44-caliber magnum revolver from a closet and went to the carport door, where the two boys were also headed. Mr. Peairs yelled "freeze."
When he kept coming, Mr. Peairs fired. The young man died about 25 minutes later.
Richard Haymaker, father of Webb Haymaker, said the judge's "common-sense, level-headed approach" had contributed to the different result in the civil case.
Possibly influencing the judge's decision was new evidence introduced in the civil trial, including that Mr. Peairs once shot a dog and had been heard to utter a death threat again his wife's former husband.

You spend the majority of your day and your life at work, which is why your career is an important aspect of your life. You want to make the most of your career, progress and do something you enjoy. But a career doesn't just happen overnight.
That's where 'career management' comes in. It's not something you necessarily need to pay for (although there are people dedicated to helping people manage their careers),It's about planning your career and project managing the journey from the beginning to the dream end goal, and all that comes between.
Here are the main steps of career management:
Step 1: Self-Assessment
The first thing to do is get a clear picture of you; your strengths and weaknesses, your skills and knowledge, your dreams and worries, your likes and dislikes, everything that impacts your career journey.
For example, are you a strong co-ordinator and good with people? Management could be something you aspire to quickly in your career. But realising you don't have the right skills to manage people right now doesn't mean you'll never be a manager, it just means part of your journey will involve some training and learning to improve on this.
Taking psychometrics tests, talking to friends and family, and colleagues and bosses from previous jobs will all help you to get a true picture of yourself.
Step 2: Do your research
Based on your self-assessment, you should have highlighted some areas for improvement and found what your natural strengths are. Based on what your career goals are, it's time to start researching how you can improve on your weaknesses and gain further skills and knowledge in the areas that will help you progress in your chosen field.
Career training courses are one way in which people gain the skills and knowledge to progress quickly in their career. These courses are taken in your own time, so they fit around your lifestyle and can be done at your pace, there is no strict start and finish time. You can take short courses to top up or refresh your knowledge, or take diplomas to prepare you for a career change or taking on that next step in your existing career.
Step 3: Plan your progression
Having a plan that you can follow will make achieving those long-term goals more manageable, with short-term targets making it feel more realistic. Set yourself SMART objectives (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant) and rather than deadlines, give yourself a time frame to work to for each objective. For example, in the next six months you will have applied for and begun your career training courses. In the next 12 months, you will have completed your training and be ready to step up and apply for your next role.
Step 4: Put your plans into action
Now you've researched and planned what needs to be done, start making it happen! Book courses, speak to career advisors, start your studying and tick off those objectives.
Step 5: Evaluate your progress
This step is something you'll be doing regularly during step 4. It's about revisiting your plan at regular intervals during the action stage to see where you're at and if your actions match up to where you wanted to be at this stage. If you're not quite on track, what can you do to get back there? Have obstacles come up that have blocked your way and does the plan need adjusting to reflect this?
The plan isn't a strict document and the time frames are only guides. If things change then the plan can change, but try to follow the plan as much as possible to help you to achieve your career goals.
If you need some support in managing your career, our career advisors are here to help. They can advise you on what steps you need to take based on your goals, and help you to take action. Call us on 01 8404075 or email email@example.com to book a free appointment.

Consumer & Class Actions,
Intellectual Property,
Matan Shacham defends individuals and businesses in high-stakes, complex civil litigation. He helps his clients solve their most difficult legal problems and manage risk through all phases of litigation, including trial and appeal.
Mr. Shacham has extensive experience litigating cases involving a wide range of subject-areas—including securities, professional liability, intellectual property, antitrust, and commercial disputes—in state and federal courts across the country. He has defended executives and directors in securities cases and other complicated business disputes. He has represented some of the country's top technology companies in antitrust, patent, and trade secret litigation. He has defended prominent law firms sued for legal malpractice. He has also successfully litigated appeals before the California Court of Appeal, the Ninth Circuit, and the Federal Circuit.
Mr. Shacham has an active pro bono practice, focusing on civil rights issues. He serves on the Executive Committee for the Bar Association of San Francisco's Intellectual Property Section, and he previously served as Chair of the Civil Rights Committee for the Anti-Defamation League's Central-Pacific Region.
Prior to joining the firm, Mr. Shacham clerked for the Hon. Sandra L. Lynch of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. He earned his J.D., cum laude, from Harvard Law School, where he served as Executive Editor of the Harvard Law Review.
We are currently defending the former CEO of Fannie Mae in an SEC action filed in the Southern District of New York related to Fannie Mae's disclosures regarding its exposure to "subprime" and "Alt-A" residential mortgages.
We secured summary judgment for our client, the former Chairman of a biotech start-up company that tried to develop and commercialize an islet-cell suspension treatment for people with insulin-dependent diabetes. The lawsuit was brought by the company's former CEO and certain shareholders against the company's officers, directors, and creditors and sought over $100 million in damages.
We represented a law firm and individual attorneys in a highly contentious and complicated case brought by a developer alleging legal malpractice claims against our clients, along with numerous claims against a large group of other individuals and companies involved in a real estate joint venture. We executed an aggressive defense strategy, using early discovery and motion practice, to quickly extricate our clients from the dispute. We secured dismissal for waiver of costs for all the individual attorneys and a favorable early settlement for the law firm.
We secured a favorable settlement for Electronic Arts Inc. (EA) in this groundbreaking antitrust and right of publicity class action. Current and former student-athletes claimed EA improperly used the athletes' likenesses and biographical information in its NCAA Football and NCAA Basketball video games.
We defended a former Citigroup executive in one of the rare financial crisis cases to go to trial. He worked on the structuring desk at Citigroup and was charged with securities fraud in connection with Citigroup's 2007 marketing of a $1 billion collateralized debt obligation (CDO) backed by assets tied to the housing market. In its enforcement action the SEC contended that Citigroup had played a role in the selection of the CDO's underlying mortgage securities and had taken a short position in those securities. The SEC contended that our client was negligent for not disclosing information about Citigroup's actions in its marketing materials. After a two-week jury trial in the Southern District of New York with Judge Rakoff presiding, the federal jury rejected the SEC's case and found our client not liable on any of the SEC's claims.
On behalf of Broadcom, we led a joint-defense group of wireless chip manufacturers, PC manufacturers, and cellular network carriers. The plaintiff, CSIRO, asserted patent claims that allegedly covered a wide variety of products that offer wireless functionality under the IEEE 802.11 standard for local area networks. We settled the case favorably on the eve of trial.

2019 Legislative Session
In 2019, UULM-MD is supporting the "Fight for Fifteen" to further increase the state minimum wage. The legislation will:
- provide a minimum wage of $15 per hour by 2023 with increases indexed to the cost of living beginning in 2023,
- allow local governments to provide minimum wages in excess of the proposed state minimum wage,
- remove exceptions for young workers,
- provide increases in the minimum wage for tipped workers to $15 by 2026, and
- provide increased funding for community service providers to accommodate the minimum wage increase.
Why We Fight For $15
A $15 minimum wage means a better Maryland for all of us:
- Raising the minimum wage to $15 for all workers will benefit over 700,000 households in Maryland
- A $15 minimum wage would benefit hundreds of thousands of kids. Over 300,000 children have at least one parent that would be affected by a $15 minimum wage in Maryland.
- Raising the wage won't hurt the economy: it will grow it! The most rigorous research shows minimum wage increases do not reduce employment. In Seattle, the first major city to adopt a $15 minimum wage, the region's unemployment rate hit an eight-year low.
- For small businesses, raising the wage will bring in new customers, raising businesses' bottom lines and increasing profits.

The steadfast Orange Crush frame gets a geometry update for 2017. We've taken the frame we love and pushed the features forward to up the fun factor without upsetting the function. We've slackened the head angle to 65° and optimised the the numbers for a 150mm travel fork, meaning you can push the Crush that little bit harder again.
Everything that made the last version great has come along for the ride. The rear triangle features a bolt-through axle for stability and strength. the Crush's long toptube design that adds an extra few millimetres means, size for size, a 50mm stem puts the rider right where they need to be (with tuning to taste as required, of course) for direct input and weight distribution. While its short chainstays make climbing a tad sweeter, tyre clearance means a chunky 2.4 tyre fits nicely.
With a 150mm RockShox Yari RC fork, single ring chainset and Shimano SLX 1x11 drivetrain the Crush S is built for those who truly appreciate what a long travel hardtail can do.
With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
You Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that, as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up and get it sent out to you - it often never even hits the stock room shelves!
With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.
So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.
Estimated Delivery Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.
The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery Dates provided on product pages.

TULSA, Okla. -- Oral Roberts University men's soccer head coach Ryan Bush has announced the schedule for the Golden Eagles' 2016 campaign, which features nine matches at the Case Soccer Complex, three contests against teams that participated in the 2015 NCAA tournament, and four top-50 RPI opponents from a year ago.
"The 2016 schedule has shaped up nicely for where we want to go as a program. We have several teams that were ranked in the top 25 a year ago and we want to play the best week in and week out," Bush said. "This year's schedule is designed to prepare us for conference play and beyond. We are excited to have some of the best college soccer programs in the country represented on our schedule in 2016."
The Golden Eagles will play two preseason exhibition games at home against USAO (August 18) and Drury (August 21) before opening the regular season with four-straight road contests.
ORU will open the regular season with a pair of games in Texas with the first coming against Incarnate Word (August 21) in San Antonino before traveling to Dallas for a neutral site affair with Michigan State (August 28).
Oral Roberts will then head to the Pacific Northwest for a pair of games with Gonzaga (September 1) and Washington (September 4) before returning to Oklahoma to for two games against Southland Conference members UIW (September 9) and Houston Baptist (September 11).
The Golden Eagles homestand will have a brief interruption as the team heads east for a match with regional rival Missouri State (September 16), before returning to the Case Soccer Complex to host Eastern Illinois (September 24) to open Summit League action.
The Golden Eagles will host fellow League members IPFW (October 1), IUPUI (October 15), and Omaha (November 5) at the Case Soccer Complex.
ORU will take on Western Illinois (October 8) on the road before facing Summit League Champions Denver in a rematch of the 2015 title game October 22 in Denver.
Oral Roberts will again faceoff with cross town rival Tulsa this season on the North Side October 18 at the Hurricane Soccer Complex. ORU's final road test will come October 30 when the team heads to New York to take on Buffalo in a nonconference contest.
For more information and updates about ORU men's soccer, follow @ORUMSoccer on Twitter, or visit ORUAthletics.com. Fans can also receive updates on the team by downloading the Golden Eagles Front Row App at ORUAthletics.com/frontrow or in the App Store.

If you are over the age of five, the idea of pink jeans might scare you, especially for the office. But when we saw our colleague Jeanine Edwards from MomFinds wear them to work, we couldn't help but use her outfit as a template for how to wear pink jeans without looking like a thumb-sucking toddler.
Jeanine's outfit was office-appropriate because she paired the coral jeans with neutral menswear pieces. She wore brown oxfords like these Steven by Steve Madden 'Melin' Oxfords ($98.95), with a white button up shirt like this Gap White western shirt ($54.50), and a beige blazer similar to this Calvin Klein Jeans Twill Blazer ($89.50). She then topped off the ensemble with a lightweight coral and white scarf much like this Gap Frayed floral scarf ($24.50). This outfit is the perfect way to transition into spring. Check out each of the pieces from the look:
These 55DSL Pink Salmon Jeans ($73) are great for work and weekend, and the cropped length lets you show off your shoes.
This Gap White western shirt ($54.50) has a relaxed fit, but it is crisp enough to wear to the office.
This Calvin Klein Jeans Twill Blazer ($89.50) is a nice alternative to a super structured blazer, and you will wear this jacket over everything throughout spring.
This Gap Frayed floral scarf ($24.50) brings the pretty coral color closer to your face, and the lightweight fabric is good for warmer weather.
This Steven by Steve Madden 'Melin' Oxford ($98.95) anchor the bright coral jeans, and they give the look a menswear feel.
