Note: Telephone, internet, fax, heating, air-conditioning and pool heating charges are charged separately and will be payable locally on departure. Payment can be made by credit card if preferred.
Our Abercrombie & Kent Villas team will be happy to arrange further services, sightseeing and activities according to request. It is strongly recommended that any extra services are booked well in advance of your holiday to avoid disappointment. A minimum of 8 weeks is recommended. Please note that all additional services pre-booked and pre-paid are subject to 100% cancellation fees. The cost of any services that are booked in advance and to be paid locally (e.g. local cook service) must also be paid to the local suppliers in the event of client cancellation. Any unpaid services will be charged from the credit card provided for the security deposit.
While Abercrombie & Kent has a policy not to recommend or endorse child care or babysitting providers, we do understand that these are fundamental requirements which many of our clients request when taking a villa holiday. As a result of safety and security concerns which all clients have when sourcing child care or babysitting providers, we prefer clients to make themselves comfortable with and to carry out their own checks on such providers. What we are sometimes able to do is provide a list of child care and babysitting providers in the area of the villa where we have been able to identify such services exist. However, it is important that it is recognised and understood that we have not carried out any checks whatsoever, we do not recommend any baby sitting or child care providers and we accept no liability for the use of any child care and babysitting providers set out on any list we may provide. When at a property, clients may decide to enter into arrangements with the local staff at the villa. Any such arrangements are made entirely at the client's discretion and A&K does not vet or check local staff for suitability for providing childcare and therefore cannot accept any responsibility or liability for such arrangements.
Before you leave home, you will receive a list of food and household items which may be pre-ordered to facilitate your arrival, payable to your A&K Host or local representative. Please note that there is a service charge of €25 for this service. The cost of the purchased items is payable upon arrival at the property in cash. If you are celebrating a special occasion, you may like to book a Celebration Hamper. The contents can be tailored to your taste and the occasion but suggested inclusions are champagne, truffles, cheese, cheeses, locally produced cured meats, fine wine and chocolates. Hampers are available from €100.
During high season, the minimum letting period for a villa is seven nights. However in low and mid season, some villas may be rented for shorter stays. Please contact us for details. Most villas are predominantly available for rental from Saturday to Saturday. Any villas with an alternative start day will be signalled at time of booking. Certain properties are only available for a minimum rental period of two weeks or longer. If this is the case for the property you have chosen, this will be brought to your attention at the point of enquiry.
The safety standards and regulations are those of the country you are visiting. As a result, please be careful when in unfamiliar buildings or surroundings, and get to know the escape route from your property in case of fire. Properties may include "hazards" such as open staircases, unfenced areas, mezzanines, open drops etc, and it is imperative that your party take responsibility for their own safety.
As with all rental properties in prime locations there may be a small risk of burglary. Where provided, please take advantage of burglar alarms and safes and take every precaution against theft and burglary. Any valuables left at the property are left at your own risk. Please note that in some properties, surveillance cameras and security equipment may be installed inside and/or outside the property, which may have the capability to stream or record images and sound. If you have any concerns or issues with this, you must inform our team before your trip. Neither Abercrombie & Kent Villas nor the property owner nor our agents can take responsibility for any loss or damage.
The majority of our properties have swimming pools, which are not manned. Some swimming pools have safety features such as pool alarms, covers and fences, but not all. Please familiarize yourself thoroughly with the depth of the pool and how to get out, and exercise safety and caution at all times, especially with children, non-swimmers and if diving. Children and non-swimmers are your responsibility at all times. Swimming pools are usually not available in low season. If your rental falls within this season please check with us that the pool is open. The maximum heated pool temperature is 24 degrees Celsius (unless otherwise specified) and is subject to weather conditions. Pool heating is included in some villa rentals and charged at a supplement at others. Please see the relevant property web pages for details. Where pool heating is charged at a supplement, this is payable locally.
To allow time for cleaning, we would ask you to arrive only between 4pm and 7pm on the first day of your stay, and to vacate the property by 10am on the departure day unless otherwise specified. If your arrival is delayed please contact your A&K Host immediately.
Telephone and internet arrangements vary from property to property and are sometimes metered (charges payable locally on departure). In some cases there is no landline telephone and due to the rural nature of many of our villas, cell telephone networks may be weak or non-existent. Your Villa Welcome Book will provide further information on telephone usage at your villa.
There may be occasions when internet service is interrupted and whilst every effort will be made to resume the service, please note that Abercrombie & Kent Villas cannot be held responsible for loss of internet access (or the consequences of loss of access) during your holiday.
Pets are generally not permitted but please check with your Abercrombie & Kent Villas Consultant at time of booking.
Please note that the majority of our villas are located in rural areas, where wildlife such as animals and insects are as natural a part of the landscape as the grass and the trees. It would not be particularly unusual to encounter animals, such as rodents, deer, goats, cats (stray or belonging to nearby locals), or insects such as wasps, bees, flies, ants or scorpions and spiders. Insects and animals can be attracted to swimming pools, nearby streams or ponds, local vegetation or sometimes food left out following an al fresco meal. We would urge you to keep doors and windows closed as far as practicably possible and to clear all remains of food following an outdoor (or indoor) meal. Please do not purposefully feed any local animals – it will encourage them to return and they may not be so welcome to the next guests. Please note that A&K Villas cannot be held accountable for the presence of animals or insects at the villa you choose. If you suffer allergies triggered by animals, please let us know before booking – whilst we cannot guarantee animals will not be present, we can recommend villas where the possibility is lessened (for example where we know owners have not kept animals).
If you are intending to take or rent a sports or low slung car on holiday, we advise you to check at time of booking whether the access to the property allows for such a car. Please note that many of the properties are located along uneven roads. These are passable using conventional vehicles, but it is worth considering carefully the model of vehicle you choose to drive. Your Abercrombie & Kent Villas Consultant will be able to advise you on this.
All properties will contain at least one cot and one high chair. If you require more facilities, please advise us at time of booking. A small charge to supply additional facilities may apply.
We can arrange a lot of things at A&K Villas, but sadly the weather is not one of them. A&K Villas cannot be held accountable for adverse weather conditions or the consequences of adverse weather. No refunds will apply in the cases of no sunshine, no snow or other adverse weather conditions.
Holiday property rentals are operated by Abercrombie & Kent Villas, a trading name of Abercrombie & Kent Limited 'the Company' of St George's House, Ambrose Street, Cheltenham, Glos. GL50 3LG which is registered in England under company number 1082430. The following conditions, together with the relevant information set out in our proposal, web-site and/or brochure, will form part of your contract with the Company. Please read them carefully before you book as they set out our respective rights and obligations and you will be bound by them.
(a) Options: We will be happy to hold a property on option for a maximum of five working days. If during that time, we receive a request for the same property, we will contact you immediately to indicate that you must make your booking and pay your deposit within 48 hours. All options will expire after seven days without notification.
(b) To secure your booking, you should contact us to confirm your booking, and pay your deposit of 30% of the total holiday cost – or as advised by the Company. If you are booking within 10 weeks of departure, then full payment is required. Payment can be made by cheque or by most major credit cards in favour of Abercrombie & Kent Villas Limited. If for any reason we do not accept your booking your deposit will be returned. Alternatively, you can start the booking process online – simply select the 'Book It Now' button and follow the simple on-screen instructions.
(c) Payment is accepted by bank transfer, cash, cheque drawn on a US dollar, GBP sterling or Euro account or most credit card (Mastercard, Visa, American Express). Please note that payment by credit card incurs a supplement as follows:
UK cardholders - 1.5%
All other cardholders - 3.1%
(d) Special Requests, such as diet, room location, twin or double bedded room or a particular facility which are an important factor in the choice of holiday, should be indicated at the time of bookingor made in writing. We will pass your request on to the villa but cannot guarantee that it will be accommodated. The Company will try to arrange for Special Requests to be met, but cannot guarantee that they will be, nor will the Company be liable if any Special Request is not met. The provision of any special request does not constitute a term of your contract with us unless we have confirmed in writing that your requirement will be met. All special requests must be made at least eight weeks prior to departure.
(e) A contract will come into existence on the date on which we accept your booking in writing and issue a Confirmation Invoice. When you make a booking you are confirming that you understand our booking conditions and have accepted them on behalf of yourself and all members of your party.
(f) It is important for you to check the details on the Confirmation Invoice as soon as you get it. In the event of any discrepancy please contact us immediately. If you arrange your holiday direct with the Company all correspondence and other communications will be sent to the address of the lead name on your booking unless you specify otherwise. If you request correspondence through a business address, a residential address will also be required for emergency and security reasons.
(g) If your booking is made through a travel agent, the Company will address all communications to that travel agent, who will act as agent for you in regard to all communications from us to you. All monies paid by you to a travel agent under or in contemplation of this contract will be held by the travel agent for the Company until such monies are forwarded to the Company.
(h) The final balance is due no later than 10 weeks before departure.
(i) Your holiday documents, including a detailed Welcome Book of the property, directions and emergency contact details, will be dispatched to arrive with you no later than 14 days prior to your departure.
(j) Security Deposit - As a condition of your rental agreement we shall also ask you to lodge a Security Deposit at the point of making a booking amounting to 20% of the weekly rental cost of the property (or higher if required by the villa owner or for stays of three weeks or longer). This is to protect the property owners for the cost of any damage or loss caused by willful or accidental damage by members of the party that may occur during your stay or for any unpaid local charges. The Security Deposit is lodged with Abercrombie & Kent Villas in the form of a credit card authorization given at the time of booking. It is incumbent on the property owner to advise us within 30 days of any claim they have in respect of damage, loss or unpaid amounts. This credit card authorization will be destroyed 30 days after the last day of your stay, provided no claim is made by the property owner. It is essential that you reconcile any damages or extra costs incurred with villa owners or agents prior to departure from the property as Abercrombie & Kent Villas will automatically debit your credit card to the value instructed by owners or their agents for any such charges. Abercrombie & Kent Villas are unable to enter into negotiation on your behalf where such charges are not agreed with villa owners or agents prior to your departure from the property. We ask you to remember and respect the fact that Abercrombie & Kent Villas are privately owned residences.
(a) Amendments by you The Company will make every effort to assist you if you wish to alter your arrangements. Requests for an amendment must be in writing, signed by the lead name on the booking. If it is possible to make the amendment, it will be subject to an amendment charge of £50 (or equivalent in Euros or US dollars) per booking, together with all communication charges or other expenses incurred by the Company as a result of the change. These charges will be payable whether or not the Company succeeds in confirming your requested amendment. Please note that save for the transfer of a booking (see below), it will not be possible to make changes within 28 days of your departure date. Your request may be treated as a cancellation and re-booking and the normal cancellation charges detailed in paragraph (b) below will apply dependent upon the conditions imposed by our suppliers: If you are unavoidably prevented from taking your holiday, by reason of, for example, illness, jury service, redundancy, unavoidable work commitments or the death or serious illness of a close family member, it may be possible to transfer your booking to a person acceptable to the Company, (but it should be noted that some suppliers consider any change of name as a cancellation, thereby attracting cancellation fees of up to the full value of the service) provided that:
(i) if you request a transfer in writing allow reasonable time for the changes to be communicated to, and accepted by, the supplier.
(ii) your request is accompanied by documentary proof of the reason for the transfer, any tickets or vouchers received from the company, full detail, of the person who will replace you, any balance due for the booking and the appropriate administration fee (see below).
(iii) your replacement agrees to be bound by these booking conditions. The administration fee will be £50 (or equivalent in Euros or US dollars) per person. You, as transferor of the holiday, and the transferee shall be jointly and severally liable to the Company for payment of the balance due, together with all additional charges of whatever sort imposed by the suppliers providing the component parts of your holiday charges.
(b) Cancellation by you
All cancellations must be advised in writing, signed by the lead name on the booking and sent to the Company at St George's House, Ambrose Street, Cheltenham, Glos. GL50 3LG. Cancellations are effective on the day they are received by the Company. Recorded delivery is strongly recommended. The following cancellation charges will be payable, depending upon the number of days prior to departure the Company receives your notice of cancellation.
Days prior to Departure Date % of Total Holiday Cost Written Advice of Cancellation Received
More than 70 days (10 weeks) Loss of deposit
70 days or fewer 100% of total holiday cost
During holiday 100% of total holiday cost
We strongly recommend that you secure adequate travel insurance, which should in most cases, include cover, under certain circumstances, against loss of deposit or cancellation fees, at the time of booking.
(c) Re-booking following a cancellation
Should you wish to cancel a holiday and re-book an alternative this will be subject to the cancellation terms within these booking conditions. Abercrombie & Kent Villas may use their absolute discretion however to transfer some or all of any monies already paid by you to the alternative booking. If the alternative booking requires a greater deposit than has already been paid then the balance between what is required as a deposit and any deposits already paid becomes due.
(d) Accuracy of information
We check the information which we provide about our holidays very carefully. However, tours, excursions or other additional services may change as a result of local conditions. Circumstances such as these, or weather conditions, may cause some of the amenities we have described to be unavailable or different from those advertised. When we are told of any significant or long term changes we will always endeavour to advise you prior to your departure.
(e) Amendments by the Company
Great care is taken to ensure that the description and prices provided are accurate at the time of quotation or publication. However, changes can occur, and the Company reserves the right to change any of the details, including prices, in which case the Company will advise you of any such change before accepting your booking. After a Confirmation Invoice has been issued, the Company makes every effort to operate all holidays as advertised. We plan arrangements a long time in advance of your holiday using independent suppliers such as villa and apartment owners, local transport operators, vehicle rental agencies and guides, over whom we have no direct control. In very rare circumstances, the Company may have to modify a holiday before you depart. Most of these changes are minor. However, if we consider them a material change we will notify you or your travel agent as soon as reasonably practicable. A material change includes a change of destination or a change to a lower standard accommodation, and/or price. In the case of a material change before your departure we will provide you with three alternatives. You may accept the modification, you may change your booking to another available holiday, or you may cancel and receive a full and prompt refund. If you choose another holiday which is more expensive you must pay the difference, but if it is cheaper, the Company will make the appropriate refund. If you cancel and receive a full refund following a material change made for any reason other than force majeure you will receive the following compensation, calculated according to the number of days prior to departure that you are notified of the change.
Days prior to Departure Date Compensation Per Person
when Notification of Change is sent
More than 42 days £10
29 – 42 days prior £20
15 – 28 days prior £25
0 – 14 days prior £30
Force majeure means unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond the Company's control or the control of our suppliers, the consequence of which neither the Company nor its suppliers could avoid even with all due care, including, but not limited to, war, threat of war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity, (actual or threatened), industrial dispute, unavoidable technical problems with transport, machinery or equipment, power failure, changes imposed by rescheduling or cancellation of flights by an airline, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, flood, drought, adverse weather conditions, epidemics or outbreaks of illness and level of water in rivers. We will not cancel your villa arrangement, less than 10 weeks before your departure date, except for reasons of force majeure or failure by you to pay the final balance. If there is a minor change before you depart (that is, any change not included in the definition of a material change set out above), the Company will try to notify you, although it is not obliged to do so, nor is it obliged to pay any compensation. lf the Company becomes unable to provide a significant proportion of your holiday after it has commenced, every effort will be made to provide suitable alternative arrangements, which will be made for you at no extra charge to you or, alternatively, you will be returned to your point of departure and the company will, where appropriate, pay compensation.
(f) Cancellation by the Company
We reserve the right in any circumstances to cancel your holiday for any reason. If you fail to pay the balance of the holiday price at least 10 weeks (70 days) before departure, the Company will treat your booking as cancelled and levy the cancellation charges set out in paragraph 2(b). If the Company is obliged to cancel your holiday in any other circumstances before departure, the Company will use its best endeavours to offer alternative arrangements of equivalent or very closely similar standard and price, if available; travel arrangements of a lower standard and a refund of the difference in price; or will give you a full and prompt refund of all monies paid. In addition, unless the cancellation has been caused by force majeure or low bookings, the Company will pay you compensation as set out in paragraph 2(e).
(a) All prices are based upon current exchange rates and are valid for 14 days from the time of quotation.
(b) Rental prices are quoted on a per week basis unless otherwise stated.
(c) The Company is under no obligation to give a breakdown of the costs involved in a holiday.
(d) The Company reserves the right to notify you of an increase in the brochure or advertised price before accepting your booking.
(e) The price of your travel arrangements can be varied due to changes in transportation costs such as fuel including the cost of fuel, dues, taxes, fees chargeable for services such as landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports and airports, exchange rates, meaning that the price of your travel arrangements may change after you have booked. Government actions such as changes in VAT or any other government imposed changes and currency changes in relation to an exchange rate variation may also vary the price after you have booked. We reserve the right to pass such charges on to you by way of a surcharge. Where you have booked a package with us, we will absorb and you will not be charged for any increase equivalent to 2% of the price of your travel arrangements, which excludes insurance premiums and any amendment charges, will be absorbed or retained. You will be charged for any increase over and above that, plus an administrative charge of £1 per person together with an amount to cover agents' commission. This means that if you have to pay an increase of more than 10% of the price of your travel arrangements, you may cancel your travel arrangements and receive a full refund of all monies paid, except for any amendment charges. We will consider an appropriate refund of insurance premiums paid if you can show that you are unable to transfer or reuse your policy. Should you decide to cancel for this reason, you must exercise your right to do so within 14 days from the issue date printed on your final invoice. Alternatively you may accept an offer of alternative travel arrangements from the Company, if we are able to offer a suitable alternative and transfer payment made in respect of the original holiday to the alternative holiday. If the cost of the alternative holiday is less than the original the difference in price will be refunded. The Company will also pay compensation as set out in clause 2(e) above. Should the price of your holiday go down due to the changes mentioned above, by more than 2% of your confirmed holiday cost, then any refund due will be paid to you. However, please note that travel arrangements are not always purchased in local currency and some apparent changes have no impact on the price of your travel due to contractual and other protection in place.
(f) Optionally, you may choose to pay for your holiday in full at the time of booking, in which case your holiday price will be fixed at the cost quoted by the Company at that time. To qualify for this benefit you should return the Confirmation Invoice to the Company with full payment to reach the Company within 7 days of the date when the Confirmation Invoice was first posted to you.
1) For accommodation only bookings, we have a duty to select the suppliers of the services making up your booking with us with reasonable skill and care. We have no liability to you for the actual provision of the services, except in cases where it is proved that we have breached that duty and damage to you has been caused. Therefore, providing we have selected the suppliers/subcontractors with reasonable skill and care, any liability to you for anything that happens during the service in question or any acts or omissions of the supplier, its employees or agents, would rest with the suppliers/ subcontractors.
2) For packages booked with us, we will accept responsibility for the arrangements we agree to provide or arrange for you as an "organiser" under the Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992 as set out below. Subject to these booking conditions, if we or our suppliers perform or arrange your contracted package holiday arrangements negligently, taking into consideration all relevant factors (for example following the complaints procedure as described in these conditions and the extent to which ours or our employees' or suppliers' negligence affected the overall enjoyment of your holiday), we will pay you reasonable compensation. Please note that it is your responsibility to show that we or our supplier(s) have been negligent if you wish to make a claim against us.
3) We will not be responsible or pay you compensation for any injury, illness, death, loss, damage, expense, cost or other claim of any description if it results from:-
(i) the act(s) and/or omission(s) of the person(s) affected;
(ii) the act(s) and/or omission(s) of a third party unconnected with the provision of the services contracted for and which were unforeseeable or unavoidable; or (iii)unusual or unforeseeable circumstances beyond ours or our supplier(s) control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised; or
(iv)an event which either ourselves or suppliers could not, even with all due care, have foreseen or forestalled.
4) We limit the amount of compensation we may have to pay you if we are found liable under this clause:
(i) for loss of and/or damage to any luggage or personal possessions and money, the maximum amount we will have to pay you in respect of these claims is £25 per person in total because you are assumed to have adequate insurance in place to cover any losses of this kind;
(ii) for claims not falling under 4(i) above and which don't involve injury, illness or death, the maximum amount we will have to pay you in respect of these claims is twice the price paid by or on behalf of the person(s) affected in total. This maximum amount will only be payable where everything has gone wrong and you or your party has not received any benefit at all from your booking.
(iii) for claims in respect of international travel by air, sea and rail, or any stay in a hotel, the extent of our liability will in all cases be limited as if we were carriers under the appropriate Conventions, which include The Warsaw/Montreal Convention (international travel by air); The Athens Convention (with respect to sea travel); The Berne/Cotif Convention (with respect to rail travel) and The Paris Convention (with respect to hotel arrangements). You can ask for copies of these Conventions from our offices. Please contact us. In addition, you agree that the operating carrier or transport company's own 'Conditions of Carriage' will apply to you on that journey. When arranging transportation for you, we rely on the terms and conditions contained within these international conventions and those 'Conditions of Carriage'. You acknowledge that all of the terms and conditions contained in those 'Conditions of Carriage' form part of your contract with us, as well as with the transport company and that those 'Conditions of Carriage' shall be deemed to be included by reference into this contract.
5) In any circumstances in which a carrier is liable to you by virtue of the Denied Boarding Regulation 2004, any liability we may have to you under our contract with you, arising out of the same facts, is limited to the remedies provided under the Regulation as if (for this purpose only) we were a carrier. When making any payment, we are entitled to deduct any money which you have received or are entitled to receive from the transport provider or hotelier for the complaint or claim in question.
6) It is a condition of our acceptance of liability under this clause that you notify any claim to ourselves and our supplier(s) strictly in accordance with the complaints procedure set out in these conditions. Where any payment is made, the person(s) receiving it (and their parent or guardian if under 18 years) must also assign to ourselves or our insurers any rights they may have to pursue any third party and must provide ourselves and our insurers with all assistance we may reasonably require.
7) Please note, we cannot accept any liability for any damage, loss or expense or other sum(s) of any description which on the basis of the information given to us by you concerning your booking prior to our accepting it, we could not have foreseen you would suffer or incur if we breached our contract with you.
8) We will not accept responsibility for services or facilities which do not form part of our agreement or where they are not advertised by us. For exampleany excursion you book whilst away, or any service or facility which your hotel or any other supplier agrees to provide for you.
9) The descriptions, information and opinions provided by the Company in respect of the villas, apartments and other suppliers whose services are used are given in good faith, based on the latest information available at the time of printing.
10) Our acceptance of liability is also conditional upon you following the procedures for notification of complaints set out in Clause 11, and upon you assigning to the Company any right you may have against any other person whose acts or omissions have given rise to the Company's liability.
11) We cannot be held responsible for the failure of public utilities such as water, gas and electricity. We can also not accept any responsibility for any problems that you encounter in connecting to the internet, for any reason. We would ask clients to advise their A&K Host or local representative as soon as they are aware of any such problems, and, whilst every effort will be made to repair / replace as quickly as possible, this cannot be guaranteed due to the location and style of the properties, as well as the technical variability and potential incompatibility of networks, hardware and software.
12) Our suppliers (such as transport providers) have their own booking conditions or conditions of carriage, and these conditions are binding between you and the supplier. Some of these conditions may limit or remove the relevant transport provider's or other supplier's liability to you. You can get copies of such conditions from our offices, or the offices of the relevant supplier.
13) If we make any payment to you or any member of your party for death, personal injury or illness, you must co-operate fully with us in seeking recovery of any payment we make.
14) Operational decisions may be taken by air carriers and airports resulting in delays, diversions or rescheduling. Abercrombie & Kent Villas has no control over such decisions, and is therefore unable to accept responsibility for them. Where, as a result of circumstances beyond our control we are obliged to change or end your holiday after departure, but before the end of your holiday, we will not pay compensation or reimburse you for expenses incurred. You must have adequate travel insurance for your holiday and should claim via your insurance company for any loss or damage to luggage and/or personal possessions. In the event that any claim is made directly with us, our liability to pay compensation and/or the amount of compensation will be limited in accordance with the conventions referred to above.
15) We can accept no responsibility for the existence or occurrence of animals or insects in or around villas.
(a) Before making a booking, we advise you to check advice issued by the Foreign & Commonwealth Office on your preferred destination by accessing the website: www.fco.gov.uk/knowbeforeyougo/ or by calling the Foreign Office Travel Advice Unit on 0845 850 2829. If the Foreign Office advises that people should not visit a particular country, we will act on this advice. US residents who are planning a holiday with us should be aware that the US State Department issues a travel warning when, based on all relevant information, it determines that Americans should avoid travel to or within a certain nation. The State Department maintains a list of nations under a travel warning on its website at: http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/tw/tw_1764.html American travellers are advised to check this before making a booking.
(b) It is important that you check the details on your Confirmation Invoice when you receive it. In the event of any discrepancy, you should contact the company or your travel agent.
(c) General information concerning passport, visa and health requirements applicable to UK & US Citizens is set out in the above web-sites. However, such requirements are subject to change and you must check current requirements before departure. You will need a full 10 year passport to travel which is valid for six months after the date of your return.

It is a condition of your contract with us that you and all members of your party have comprehensive travel insurance cover and that it is adequate for your needs. Your policy of insurance should provide cover for personal injury, death, medical and repatriation costs in the countries which you intend to visit, together with cover for loss of baggage and valuables, personal liability, delay, cancellation, curtailment, missed departure and legal expenses.

(a) As between you and the suppliers of the transport, accommodation and other components making up your holiday, the conditions of the supplier will apply. These conditions may be subject to international Conventions which limit and/or restrict the suppliers' liability. (Copies are available on request – please allow 28 days). Under EU law you have rights in some circumstances to refunds and/or compensation from your airline in cases of denied boarding, cancellation or delay to flights. Full details of these rights will be publicized at EU airports, and will also be available from your airline. Reimbursement in these cases is the responsibility of the airline and will not automatically entitle you to refund of your holiday cost from the Company. Your rights to compensation from the Company is set out in clause 2(e). If your airline does not acknowledge your rights, you should complain to the Air Transport Users' Council on www.auc.org.uk.
(b) Some activities carry inherent risks and if you are participating in such activities you may be asked to sign an additional form by the local supplier. In rare cases beginners may have to take lessons at a charge before being permitted to use suppliers equipment otherwise offered free.
Please note that when you book an excursion locally you contract with the local company providing that excursion and not the Company. The Company has no legal liability for anything that goes wrong on such an excursion and any claim which you might have arising out of the excursion will be against the relevant local company and subject to the local company's terms and conditions.
In order to process your booking and to ensure that your travel arrangements run smoothly and meet your requirements, we need to use the information you provide such as your name, and address, any special needs/dietary requirements etc. We take full responsibility for ensuring that proper security measures are in place to protect your information. We must pass the information on to the relevant suppliers of your travel arrangements such as airlines, hotels, apartments, transport companies and so on. The information may also be provided to security or credit checking companies, public authorities such as customs and immigration if required by them, or as required by law. Additionally, where your holiday is outside the European Economic Area (EEA), controls on data protection in your destination may not be as strong as the legal requirements in this country. We will not however, pass any information on to any person not responsible for part of your travel arrangements. This applies to any sensitive information that you give to us such as details of any disabilities, or dietary/religious requirements. If, however, we cannot pass this information to the relevant suppliers, whether in the EEA or not, we cannot accept your booking. In making a booking, you consent to this information being passed on to the relevant persons. Please note that where information is also held by your travel agent, this is subject to your agents own data protection policy. You are entitled to a copy of your information held by us. If you would like to see this please contact the Company during normal working hours. (We make a small charge for providing this to you).
If you or any member of your party suffer from a disability or other medical condition you must tell us before you book. Abercrombie & Kent Villas is happy to give you advice and to try to assist you in choosing a holiday that will meet your requirements. Air travel can cause problems for some people with circulatory or bronchial problems, such as deep vein thrombosis. It is inadvisable for anyone with high blood pressure or respiratory problems to visit high altitudes. You should consult your doctor for advice before you book and in good time before your departure. Acting reasonably, if we are unable to properly accommodate the needs of the person(s) concerned, we will not confirm your booking or if you did not give us full details at the time of booking, we will cancel it and impose applicable cancellation charges when we become aware of these details.
(a) If you are unhappy with any aspect of the Company's arrangements while you are on holiday, you must address your complaint immediately to the Company's local representative (or, if none, to the Company) and to the management of the property or other supplier whose services are involved. They will do their best to rectify the situation. It is unreasonable to take no action whilst on holiday, but then to write a letter of complaint upon return. If the problem cannot be resolved locally and you wish to complain, full details must be sent to the Company in writing to arrive within 30 days of your return. We will do our best to investigate and reply to you within 28 days of receipt of your letter. Failure to take either of these steps will deny the Company the opportunity to resolve the problem immediately and/or investigate it properly. In consequence, this may affect your rights under this contract.
(b) We are a Member of ABTA, membership number V6398. We are obliged to maintain a high standard of service to you by ABTA's Code of Conduct. We can also offer you an arbitration scheme for the resolution of disputes arising out of, or in connection with this contract. The arbitration scheme is arranged by ABTA and administered independently. It provides for a simple and inexpensive method of arbitration on documents alone with restricted liability on you in respect of costs. The scheme does not apply to claims for an amount greater than £5,000 per person. There is also a limit of £25,000 per booking. Neither does it apply to claims which are solely in respect of physical injury or illness or their consequences. The scheme can however deal with compensation claims which include an element of minor injury or illness subject to a limit of £1,500 on the amount the arbitrator can award per person in respect of this element. Your request for arbitration must be received by ABTA within eighteen months of the date of return from holiday. Outside this time limit arbitration under the Scheme may still be available if we agree, but the ABTA Code does not require such agreement. For injury and illness claims, you can request the ABTA Mediation Procedure and we have the option to agree to mediation. Further information on the Code and ABTA's assistance in resolving disputes can be found on www.abta.com.
This contract and any matters arising from it are governed by the laws of England and Wales and the parties agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of England and Wales.
Every effort is made to ensure that the details, description and prices contained in our documentation and web-site are correct, based on inspections, and information passed to the Company by its suppliers. However changes do occur, sometimes at short notice and therefore the Company will advise you at the time of booking, or if after booking as soon as possible of any such changes to our published information. It is not always possible for the Company to control all elements of the holiday whereby advertised facilities can sometimes become unavailable at short notice due to inclement weather conditions, lack of demand, emergency repair works, etc.
We provide full financial protection for our package holidays.

Five hundred employees, 450 computers, a fleet of buses, mechanics and carpentry shops, thousands of pounds of textbooks and decades of payroll records: "Moving day" for Jordan School District is no day-long affair.
Since east-side residents voted to peel away from the 105-year-old district, Jordan Superintendent Barry Newbold has focused on the July 1 transfer of nearly half his schools and assets to the still-nascent Canyons School District.
Part of that transition occurs behind the scenes -- the frantic six-week period in which Jordan vacates its central office in Sandy to make way for the Canyons team. All this while delivering seamless service to the still-intact district's 80,000 students.
"The move itself went pretty well. But it has been difficult and emotional. There's a lot of history here," said Jordan's special education program manager Echo Cunningham, among the first to move Monday amid the din of construction crews and painters. "There's some sense of this as kind of new territory to be innovative and try new things. But personally, I'm sort of torn over whether it's a good or bad thing."
Until Jordan can afford permanent digs, the district will rent three buildings in West Jordan.
"At least we're closer to our schools out here," said Jordan spokeswoman Melinda Colton. When the split goes live, Jordan will serve students residing west of the Jordan River in Bluffdale, Herriman, Riverton, South Jordan and West Jordan. Canyons will serve Cottonwood Heights, Sandy, Draper, Midvale and Alta.
Jordan's move is happening in stages with the superintendent being the last to leave.
"I think he wants to turn the lights off," said Colton.
Canyons officials face their own challenges.
Cottonwood Heights Elementary, the district's temporary home, isn't very suitable to desk work with its large hallways and classrooms.
The hours are long. The district -- the first to be created in Utah in nearly a century -- has staffed up at a rate of about 4 employees a week. There's no air conditioning and employees furnish their own "offices" with items from surplus.
"But we're grateful for the space," said Canyons spokeswoman Jennifer Toomer-Cook.
A sense of humor helps. As a joke, district staff were given Razor scooters to facilitate "inner-office" travel. One office boasts a therapy corner with a plush Sigmund Freud atop a chaise lounge.
Call them crazy for leaving distinguished careers in a sputtering economy, but Toomer-Cook said her colleagues are practically giddy about starting anew.
Canyons Superintendent David Doty has promised change, but major reforms are probably a year away, said Toomer-Cook.
That's where Canyons and Jordan converge. Officials at both districts say when school starts next fall, teachers, parents and students shouldn't notice a difference.
"That's our greatest hope," said Colton. "Our employees are working crazy hours. They're exhausted. But they're driven by a commitment to what's best for students."
Residents of the west half of Jordan School District think splitting their district was unwise. And while 60 percent say they would definitely or probably be willing to pay more in taxes to keep schools afloat, a 33 percent hike might be too high, a poll commissioned by the Jordan school board shows.
Pollster Dan Jones & Associates surveyed 408 west side residents in late April and early May. Results carry a 5 percent margin of error.
The findings will help guide the school board as it looks to shave $25 million from the district's $300 million budget. Final decisions could come as soon as May 26.
Those surveyed overwhelmingly oppose increasing class sizes or cutting school programs. Forty-three percent deem the district split very unfavorable and 67 percent are very concerned about the financial fallout.
There's some appetite for reducing nonteaching staff and support for a property tax hike. But when asked about a 33 percent increase, from about $338 to $451 a year on a $100,000 home, only a plurality voiced support.
Jordan School District is moving from its Sandy location to an office at Jordan Landing in West Jordan, 7387 South Campus View Drive
For more information, call 801-567-8100 or visit, http://www.jordandistrict.org.
The new Canyons School District headquarters is at Cottonwood Heights Elementary, 2415 E. 7600 South. Sometime after July 1, the district will occupy Jordan's old offices at 9361 S. 300 East in Sandy.

Mark your calendars. On October 26, Microsoft will release its latest iteration in its line of operating systems, Windows 8. While we in the tech world may have come to accept the hype surrounding the release of various Apple products, Windows 8 should not go unnoticed. The next version of Windows signifies a radical departure for Microsoft. The new operating system focuses heavily on tablet optimization. Most notably, the new "Modern UI" infused start menu may very well change how we look at PCs.
So, what can we expect from the risks Microsoft is taking on Windows 8? Read on to find out.
Touch, Touch Everywhere!
One swift glance at Windows 8 and it quickly becomes clear what Redmond's overarching goals are with the new operating system: tablet and touch optimization. Gone is the traditional start menu—and for that matter the start button—replaced by the new Start screen. Borrowing from the stunning visuals of Windows Phone, the Start screen is a visually stunning presentation of the Modern UI (until recently, branded as the "Metro UI"). The entire start screen is powered by clickable tiles and gestures.
If this sounds a lot like a touch-based system, that's because in part, it is. Windows 8 has been optimized to run on a variety of tablets, including Microsoft's own foray into the hardware business: the Microsoft Surface. The entire Start menu is essentially a tablet oriented expansion of the Windows Phone environment. And all vital processes—web browsing, email, music, and photos—are baked into the Modern UI Start screen. The traditional Windows desktop still sits behind the Start screen. But Microsoft has intentionally designed Windows 8 so a tablet user can get full functionality from just the Start screen.
Windows in the Post-PC World
This integration is drastic and potentially flawed, and it all follows from Steve Jobs. The introduction and swift adoption of the iPad ushered in tablet frenzy and declarations of the post-PC era. Windows 8 is an attempt to answer a question everyone seems to be asking lately: how does a desktop PC fit into a tablet-centric world? Mac OS X has answered this question through differentiation. Mountain Lion remains a clear desktop OS. But each iteration of Apple's OS brings more tablet friendly features.
In contrast, Microsoft is pushing heavily for integration. Windows 8 is an operating system optimized for both tablets and desktops. The Start screen fuels our touch-centric needs, while the traditional Windows desktop remains for our more common desires. But Microsoft's push towards integration is dichotic and disruptive. As fluid as the touch gestures and animations may seem, the transition from Start menu to desktop is consistently odd. The two just do not mesh well, especially when applying touch-optimized gestures to a traditional mouse.
Market Shakedowns
Windows 8 is also set to affect the delicate balance of the PC manufacturing world. At this point, Windows has developed an entrenched relationship with Intel and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Intel provides a vast majority of the CPUs that power Windows machines, while a set list of OEMs have become reliable pushers of Windows products. This standard model will likely adjust in the coming months. AMD, a classic underdog to the dominant Intel, sees clear room to grow with Windows 8. Leslie Sobon of AMD recently told the Verge that the company hopes to catalyze upon AMD's forte of producing efficient GPU-acceleration for the new graphics needs of Windows.
The tablet centric focus of Windows 8 also means many new opportunities, and potential shortcomings. Microsoft's debut of the Surface was notable not only because the tablet represents a viable competitor to the iPad, but also because it declares Windows as a hardware manufacturer. OEMs now need to compete against Microsoft itself, their traditional partner in crime! And finally, let's not forget about ARM. Windows 8 is also optimized to run on ARM-powered tablets, the same architecture that powers most of our smartphones. Suddenly, an entire new realm of manufacturers will become viable Windows partners as well.
In short, Windows 8 signals an end to the once delicate balance forged with Intel and various OEMs.
The Next Vista? Possibly.
Windows 8 is Microsoft's big overhaul—arguable the largest one in over a decade. And it begs the question, will it all pay off? Many industry executives are wary. Intel CEO Paul Otellini recently told employees that Windows 8 was being released with bugs and ahead of schedule in order to compete in holiday sales. In addition, Dell CFO Brian Gladden has also predicted a very slow adoption of Windows 8 in the enterprise. I happen to agree with this line of thinking. Enterprise adoption rates are slow due to the desire to test and optimize any new OS. Add in the radical changes with Windows 8, and this process may be excruciatingly sluggish.
Windows 8 could easily become the next Vista. The now infamous Windows Vista was released to criticisms over bugs and bloatedness. Adoption among enterprise clients was so slow that many companies merely skipped Vista in full. Windows 8's radical changes mean not only the chance of bugs, but the overwhelming need to train employees and customers for the new OS. The learning curve presented by Windows 8 is daunting for many. But that does not necessarily mean Windows 8 will be a failure. Where it may not dominate on the desktop, analysts predict huge sales within the tablet sphere.
But at the end of the day, regardless of adoption rates or public reaction, Windows 8 is here to stay. Microsoft's new flagship OS is a perfect example of the era we live in, one which questions the place of the desktop computer. The Redmond giant never backs down. Once Microsoft makes a change, it sticks to its guns. And the Modern UI is already so integrated across Microsoft platforms that Windows 8 follows logically. Windows 8 thus represents the future of Microsoft. We will just need to wait and see how favorable that future will be.
Do you have high expectations for Windows 8? Leave a comment and weigh in.

Season of grief now behind Shackelford
By Marc Lancaster / Post staff reporter
FORT MYERS, Fla. - Brian Shackelford doesn't remember the exact date last March that his younger brother, Craig, committed suicide.
"That's something I chose to forget," he said.
There's no handbook for moving on from the death of your only sibling, especially under such gut-wrenching circumstances. Shackelford believes his brother took his own life largely because he was unable to come to grips with the death of their mother, Rhonda, from cancer nearly 2½ years earlier.
Is there such a thing as too much grieving? Too little? Shackelford isn't sure.
"Not a whole lot of people have been through something like that, so you don't really know how you're going to react to it," said the Reds reliever. "I feel like I'm about as tough on things like that as you can be. There are different ways people deal with it, I guess. I might be one of the guys that's just kind of got to put it behind them, I don't know. It's hard to explain how you deal with it. You don't want to linger too long on it, but you always think about it."
Shackelford, 29, has relied mostly on his gut since he got that unthinkable news last spring. He left Reds camp and went home to McAlester, Okla., to be with his father, Jerry, for a few weeks, providing all the support he could even as he tried to sort out for himself everything his family had endured.
He probably came back too soon, returning to Sarasota early last April for extended spring training, but he needed to find an outlet somewhere, and baseball was it - even if it might not have appeared that way at first.
Shackelford had been an early cut in big-league camp but had settled in with the minor leaguers earmarked to start the year at Class AAA Louisville. By the time he returned, in need of some fine-tuning to make up for the time he had lost, the minor league season already had started. Rather than falling back into some badly needed camaraderie, Shackelford felt as alone as he ever had at a ballpark.
"You don't know any of those guys," he said, "and they're scared to look you in the eye and talk to you."
He just wanted to move on. It wasn't too long before he convinced the Reds, probably prematurely, that he was ready to join Louisville and get his season going. Finally back in a comfortable environment, Shackelford concentrated on doing his job, but he found he couldn't wipe everything away just by being back on the mound.
Coming off a 2004 season that had established him as a legitimate prospect in the bullpen, Shackelford was hit hard during the first half of 2005. He went 1-6 with a 5.23 ERA in 31 appearances, and those that only saw a stat sheet and didn't know the backstory wondered what had happened.
Those numbers prompted more than a few raised eyebrows when the Reds decided to promote him to the majors last June 26 after Randy Keisler went on the disabled list, but it didn't take Shackelford long to demonstrate that he had found at least a temporary haven from everything that weighed on him throughout the spring.
"The way I looked at last year was, every time I went out there, I'd do whatever job I was out there for - if I was in there to get one guy out or eat up an inning, whatever it was," said Shackelford.
As manager Jerry Narron grew more comfortable with Shackelford, the importance of his role increased. He became a reliable specialist the Reds could throw at left-handed hitters earlier in games, saving Kent Mercker for the eighth inning and beyond.
Opposing batters hit just .204 against Shackelford in 37 major league appearances last year, all but five of which ended with no runs allowed by the lefty. Of the 16 baserunners Shackelford inherited, just three came in to score.
"He did a great job for us last year," said Narron. "The thing I love about Shack is he likes to compete, he loves being out there."
That describes Shackelford to the core. A former punter at Oklahoma University, he began his baseball career as an outfielder and first baseman in the Kansas City Royals system. He never hit his way to prospect status doing that job, collecting a .241 career average in 549 minor league games, but when the Royals talked him into becoming a pitcher during the 2002 season, he took off.
The Reds acquired him a year later, and he has established himself as a pitcher that will be difficult to keep out of the Opening Day bullpen, as tight as the competition for jobs there might be.
The Reds' decision to sign veteran lefty specialist Chris Hammond in December didn't do Shackelford any favors, but the younger pitcher has done his job in five spring training appearances so far. A quick, scoreless inning Tuesday against the Boston Red Sox lowered Shackelford's Grapefruit League ERA to 1.50 - one earned run allowed in six innings.
Shackelford is too accustomed to grinding it out to get too excited about anything at this stage in camp - "I've never made it past the first cut before," he said with a laugh - but he also has no inclination to let even the smallest failing on the baseball field grind him down. One of the most unassuming guys in the Reds' clubhouse, Shackelford has never seemed the type to let the game define him.
He can laugh away just about anything, but there are limits. That's what made last fall so difficult.
"When I went home, there's stuff you've got to deal with, there's no way around it," said Shackelford. "I'm around 25 guys (in the clubhouse) all year, so that kind of let me get away from it for a little bit. But going home in October was hard for me because it was the first time I'd been back in the house since it happened. It took a while to get used to it."
Shackelford's first priority from the beginning, he said, was maintaining closer ties with his father. The two talk every day now, and that's how the son wants it to be. Shackelford said he can tell from the way his dad sounds that he's getting better, but he knows this time of year will be difficult to navigate.
As tough as Shackelford has tried to be throughout the past year, he'll do everything he can to reach out to his dad now, no matter how long it takes.
"I know this is going to be a hard time at home for him," he said. "I'm going to stay on top of that. That's my main concern, to make sure he's OK."

As I said in another thread... smooth, great routes, attacks the ball. During his shortened Senior year he started to flash consistent hands and YAC ability as well. His "character" concerns stem from taking tattoos.
I don't see Dre Kirkpatrick being hit with character concerns even though it's pretty obvious his family took money and bought a brand new Cadillac CTS.
This was before his Junior year, BTW.

When Brandon Thompson, Mohamed Sanu, and Bobby Massie were all available, then this was a bad pick.

I don't like the pick, but I think we can all agree that he could be had later is a baseless assertion. We don't know that. We know how teams have their boards. We can point to the big boards out there but time and time again we see people going before they were projected and others much later. Bobby Massie, projected as a late 1st or high 2nd rounder, is still on the board. We simply don't know.
The "pundits" really just start to fall into line with what everyone else thinks. Teams actually rate them the way they think because they just don't know what other teams will do. And you don't want to lose your guy because someone else saw what you did.
Again I don't like the pick, and I really don't like that the reports are that it was Kubiak alone pushing for him, but past that I really can't say anything.

I'm listening to his 610 interview right now... this is fascinating. The kid is really impressing me right now. Hopefully his play on the field is as good as his interviewing skills/personality.

I just heard it too. He seems to have alot of passion and had good reason of why he sold the rings. That interview changed my perspective on him.
and J Mcclain just confirmed on twitter we are trying to trade Jacoby:
I just got it confirmed the Texans are talking to teams about trading WR Jacoby Jones if they believe they can get a good deal.
I could see #Texans offering Jacoby Jones for Colt McCoy. Texans are looking for a third quarterback. They need a veteran.

I've been searching for an hour and haven't found much to like about this pick, except that apparently he might be a decent blocker and has some skills downfield if he actually catches a ball (aka Jacoby). Plenty of scuttlebutt about him being a 2nd rounder if he had played more than 2 games this year, but A&M was looking at Fuller, Judie, and Gray as 1st, 2nd rounders coming into this year and we know how that turned out.
That better be one hell of a 4th rounder as the value gap between Randle and this guy seems to be massive and that's saying a lot since I didn't like him either. The guy reads like a nightmare with serious concerns about his ability to separate, slow off the line, plays scared - gator arms, in addition to the character concerns (which are more than tattoo's folks - he took even more cash AFTER the initial scandal and drew 5 more games for essentially thumbing his nose at the NCAA - fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me!).
Most concerning is reading about the Senior Bowl where he gave the impression that if you don't put it exactly in his breadbasket he can't adjust, doesn't use his hands, and often just quits on balls. Sounds like Jeff Fuller without the production or upside. Also sounds like a terrible fit for Schaub who's accuracy slipped a bit last year and can be a bit tempermental when receivers make him look bad. There have been far too many situations in the past 2 seasons where Schaub hit receivers in the hands with balls in critical situations and the receivers couldn't make a play and this sounds like more of the same unreliable crap without even the upside of him being a burner. Again, I can almost live with a boom or bust pick like this with one of the 3 4th rounders, but what the heck was the hurry so high in the 3rd?
This is EXACTLY why Kubiak's role in the draft was being minimized. Just when we are remaking the team with tough, proven, high motor players who also bring leadership, Kubiak reaches for a guy that clearly already has the makings of a guy who could be a paycheck player, has all but been called out as a wuss, and seems like a QBs worst nightmare instead of a security blanket.
My wish at this point is that we grab a reliable slot receiver with speed (aka Chris Givens) in the 4th to balance this reach.

Interesting to see the Texans reach a little for Posey. He is a good talent, but I think he would be available in the 4th round. Not sure how he is that much better than similar sized receivers McNutt or Toon, either.
They could have taken DT like Brandon Thompson in the 3rd and still got a similar WR in the 4th, so its kind of a head scratcher.

STRENGTHS Posey can struggle off the line but understands, for the most part, how to stem his routes to set up a defender and then use his suddenness to change directions. He can burst and stick his foot in the ground at the top of routes to gain separation. Except when going across the middle and facing a big hit, he is superb at adjusting his body once the ball is thrown to secure the catch.
He is effective after the catch with the ball in his hands and can make a small move to get up field. He is a very polished as a route runner and overall receiver.
WEAKNESSES Posey will get caught peeking at incoming safeties when going across the middle. He shows toughness when blocking, but not here. He sometimes will seem uninvolved in the physical aspect of the game or when the ball and play are not coming toward him.
I really like the bold part and he is a willing blocker. The big question though is if we can keep him focused or not.
04/27/12 - WR DeVier Posey, Ohio State -- Posey should effectively end the musical chairs with Kevin Walter and Jacoby Jones, and he combines the strengths of those two players -- Walter's size and Jones' big-play ability as a downfield receiver -- in one package.
Sounds like an all-around WR.
Good height and overall size. Impressive hands; capable of making the tough catch. Plucks the ball from the air at its highest point when possible. Tough runner after the catch; can make some guys miss and is willing to lower his shoulder into defenders. Does a great job adjusting to the ball in the air. Strong fundamentals; runs crisp routes. After missing most of 2011 season due to suspension, stepped in for final two games and was in midseason form which shows he put in the time an effort to stay sharp.
Suspended for majority of 2011 season for taking improper benefits. Not very explosive off the line of scrimmage; takes time to get up to full speed. Solid in nearly all aspects of the game, but not elite anywhere. Blocking could improve; has the size and strength to more effective than he was in college.
Positives: Good quickness off the line. Has size and quickness to get off NFL press. Generally reliable receiver capable of making difficult catches in traffic over the middle or one on one down the sideline. Adjusts to poor throws in any direction. Finds his way through traffic on crossing routes. Comes back to the ball to help his scrambling quarterback. Gives effort as a blocker on run plays.
Negatives: Inconsistent high-pointing passes. Allows too many throws into his body when facing the quarterback. Does not own elite speed. Freezes at times when trying to juke defenders in space. Walls off his man as a blocker, allowing them to shed and make the play outside.
I am not seeing a reason why this pick is awful.
Mayock also said it was a good pick.

This dude is way better than Sanu. A few draft pundits fell in love with him because he has a great body and looks good in pads and was productive. But he didn't have any catches over 20 yards... all year. He's slow, stiff and isn't a natural receiver. He's gonna flame out in a few years.

He reminds me of a faster Kevin Walter. I really like this pick.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost
Tiger got to sleep, bird got to land;
Man got to tell himself he understand.

He had lots of catches, but it was difficult to really make anything out of that video. Almost every one of his catches involved either broken coverage or Posey making a sideline catch and ducking out of bounds.

RealDVD: Get it while you can
The scoop: RealDVD software, by RealNetworks, about US$30 (introductory price).
What it is: Announced at DEMOfall '08 last month, the software is now available for consumers. It lets users save DVDs that they own onto their computer's hard drive (either internal or external drive). Once copied, users can store the physical disc to protect it from damage and watch the content on their computers. The software makes a complete copy of the DVD, including multiple audio tracks, extra content and closed-captioning. Viewing the movie in the software requires no additional RealPlayer or other player software, and a nice "Play and Save" feature lets users watch the content play while the software transfers the content in the background.
Copying a DVD takes about 10 to 40 minutes, depending on the speed of your computer, the optical drive and storage device. On average, a copied DVD takes up about 4GB to 8GB of space.
Why it's cool: The goals of the software are simple -- allow people to make a "fair use" copy of DVDs they own for  personal storage/backup, as well as give notebook users a way to watch movies that they already own when they're traveling without having them to lug along stacks of DVDs. The software is easy to use, and the interface is beautiful to look at, with its movie box art menus as a way to let you select which saved movie you'd like to watch. For TV episode DVDs, multiple discs are presented as one box cover, making it less cluttered (a nice touch).
Is this legal? That's the big question, especially with high-profile cases in the past still in a gray area. After releasing the software, RealNetworks filed suit against Hollywood studios, asking a judge to declare that the software was OK (in theory, to have a judgment before the industry filed their own lawsuit).
RealNetworks says the software is fully licensed by the DVD Copy Control Association and is in compliance with the agreement. The company says it does not enable users to distribute copies of their DVDs -- in fact, "it adds another layer of digital rights management encryption that locks the DVD copy to the owner's computer to ensure the content cannot be improperly copied or shared." It's also basing its software on another court case, in which a trial court allowed the distribution of a product similar to RealDVD.
This extra protection was evident in my tests of the software -- after copying a movie to an external hard drive, I thought I could copy the movie to a second hard drive and still play it on my computer -- the software prevented me from doing this.
Some caveats: Some of the protections that RealNewtworks is putting in the software make it harder for the user to fully enjoy the product. If you get the software, make your decision about where you're going to store the copy first (external or internal hard drive), and make sure it's got a lot of space. In addition, RealDVD allows for up to four additional licenses of the software, but you have to pay an additional $19.99 for each extra license.Â
Some other minor points -- the Gracenote database used to identify DVDs for box art and titles sometimes didn't work; and long periods of copying tended to slow down (and heat up) the optical drive and external hard drive.
Bottom line: Get the software while you can (RealNetworks offers a 30-day trial), in case the lawyers start to muck it up.
Grade: Four stars (out of five).
This story, "RealDVD: Get it while you can" was originally published by Network World.

You actually want to spend your money on something in Tunica, MS that does not involve a slot machine? Who can blame you? Gambling in the casinos is fun, but it doesn't give you the same satisfaction that buying a sparkling (only slightly grotesquely overpriced) new outfit does!
What are some of the best places to shop outside those flashy casinos? Well, some of them are actually inside the casinos. For example, a wonderful Tunica outlet mall is located inside the Casino Factory Shoppes, which is in the Tunica Resorts area. This Tunica, MS outlet mall includes 40 individual stores that sell a variety of items. Here you can find quality clothing, collectibles from the area, souvenirs and a host of delicious snacks. Some of the notable stores in the mall include Broadway Fashions, Computek, Fragrance Outlet and Marsh Madness. Some of fashion's biggest names are represented in the mall shopping section, including designer clothes for men, women and children.
The Tunica RiverPark Museum also has its own gift store, and here you can find museum collectibles, gifts and cultural crafts. The River Park museum has a variety of indoor and outdoor activities in addition to shopping, so it's definitely worth a visit. The Tunica Museum, just a short distance from the RiverPark Museum, offers more cultural gifts in the forms of arts and crafts created by local artisans. There is a variety of shopping to be done here from souvenirs to mementos. This property is just 10 miles south of the resort area on the well known Highway 61.
Tunica shopping also includes local stores set up in and around the strip. On Main Street you can find Ann-Tiques as well as Alpha Commission Book Store, Williams Furniture, Clayton Furniture & Appliance and Buds n' Berries Embroidery. On Edwards Avenue you can find Betty's Flowers.
There is much to see and do in the great town of Tunica, MS. It's easy to get so wrapped up in the casinos and luxurious amenities that you forget to see the rest of the town and surrounding communities. Even worse, it's easy to become so distracted in your fun that you forget to take home a souvenir that commemorates your Tunica visit. Hit the shopping malls and stores early and gamble late. This is a welcoming town that has defied all logic in its success. From a ghost town to a national destination vacation-all in just a few years!

did about 3 pulls. .
1st pull went from about a 35mph 3 honk routine. I instantly pull about 1 1/2 car lengths and hold it til about 90. end result: i win!
2nd run went from about a 40mph roll. ( Woot this was a prime spot in my powerband ) 3 honks and i pull about 2 cars by then end of 2nd, followed by a perfect shift to 3rd. But i think he missed 3 so i shut it down around 70 seeing that it looked liked he slowed down. And i knew he missed a gear because i was about 3 bus lengths in front of him. end result: incomplete.
3rd run we went from like 25 mph roll and i was in 2nd gear GRRR! So on 3 honks he pulls instantly about 1 1/2 car lengths on me. (Damn NA motors!!) And we shut and he holds his lead till about 90 then its obvious he starts to gradually pull a bit harder than me and the gap was about 2 1/2 car lengths at about 100 then we shut it down. end result: i lost
Overall im pretty sure if it were from a role going from any speed to 100mph+ he'd walk me pretty bad. But in the 0-90mph area i think ill always have about a 1-2 car lead.
Potential Variables explaining outcome: He had his GF in the car looked like she weighed about 115lbs. He looked like he weighted about 170lbs. And he seemed to not be the best in the world at shifting.
On the other hand i did have about 40lbs of work equipment in my trunk. But im really good at shifting 2-4. And i weight about 150lbs.
thats all.

The purpose of this workshop is to discuss the ways that heterosexist and transphobic microaggressions may manifest in everyday life, particularly in classroom and workplace settings. We will discuss microaggressions based on sexual orientation and gender identity, highlighting the various types of subtle discrimination that may occur. For example, heterosexist microaggressions may include using phrases like "That's so gay!" to indicate that something is bad, weird, or undesirable, while transphobic microaggressions may include using incorrect gender pronouns when referring to transgender or gender nonconforming people. Research has found that individuals who encounter microaggressions may experience both short-term and long-term psychological distress. For instance, some studies have found that people who experience microaggressions were likely to also report negative mental health symptoms such as depression and anxiety, low self-esteem, and even problems with physical health and functioning. Thus, this workshop will also focus on various ways that people can cope with microaggressions, as well as the ways that individuals, groups, and institutions can prevent microaggressions from occurring.
