Our Terms of Business
Reservations of all holiday accommodation whether made by telephone, email, in person, in writing or from the internet are accepted by Big House Holidays, hereinafter referred to as BG, on the following conditions. BG is one of a small group of locally focused brands owned by The Original Cottage Company Limited, which is a family owned private limited company incorporated in England (registered number 06951692) with its registered address at Bank House, Market Place, Reepham, Norwich, NR10 4JJ. VAT No. 595 2110 44.
The Original Cottage Company Limited trading as BG act only as Agents for owners, and are not Principals in the matter and so the hiring contract will be between you the Hirer and the Owner of the property for which the booking is made and shall be deemed to be made subject to these Conditions of Hire. The Contract of Hire is governed by English law and jurisdiction and is not effective until BG dispatch to the Hirer written confirmation of the holiday booking. The contract is for the hire of the property for holiday purposes only. We do not accept bookings from Hirers under 18 years of age.
Bookings will be reserved upon receipt by BG of the required deposit payment of one third of the total holiday cost, comprising cottage rental and any additional charges – e.g. pets, plus a booking fee. If the booking is made within twelve weeks of the holiday commencement date, the full accommodation rental will be required at the time of booking. Deposits can be paid by debit card or credit card, BACS transfer or cheque. In the case of web bookings, these can be paid online through our secure payment system.
The Balance of the Hire will be due for payment twelve weeks before the holiday commencement date. On receipt of the Balance Payment, advice on key collection arrangements and directions to the property will be sent to the Hirer. The Owner/BG reserves the right to cancel a holiday where full payment has not been received more than 14 days after the due date. The deposit paid on the booking is non-returnable.
Cheques should be made payable to Big House Holidays with Booking Reference written on the back. There is no charge for Debit or Credit Card payments.
Where VAT applies to the property rental, it is included in the quoted price at the prevailing rate. BG's Confirmation of Booking is not a VAT invoice. All BG charges and VAT inclusive rentals are subject to change if the rate changes.
Once BG has issued a Confirmation of Booking, the Hirer is responsible for the total published price of the holiday let and extras as shown on the confirmation. Amendments to bookings, where applicable, will be subject to an administration fee of £50. BG reserve the right to adjust prices quoted in the brochure, on our website or on details to properties, due to errors or omissions or changes in VAT.
If you are forced to cancel your holiday you must inform the Agency as soon as possible. The day we receive your notice to cancel is the date on which we will cancel your booking with the owner. If you cancel your booking you will remain liable for full payment.
We recommend that all guests consider taking out a travel insurance policy, which may provide cover in the event of a cancellation.
BG charges a booking fee for your first booking in any calendar year, payable at the time of booking. Additional bookings with the same customer reference where the cottage hire period starts in the same calendar year (1st January to 31st December) will not attract a booking fee.
Many of our cottages will accept pets and these are clearly marked in the brochure or on the website property page. More details are given in the property description. Bookings that include pets are taken on the understanding that all flea and worming treatments are up to date. Please remember that they should not be left unattended in properties and that some homeowners insist on pets remaining downstairs and off furniture at all times. You, as pet owner, will be responsible for removing any evidence left by your pet and reimbursing the owner for any damage caused. Please show consideration for guests visiting after you have gone home and bear in mind that some popular beaches do not permit dogs during the summer months. For most properties a charge per pet per week or short break will be made.
Customers with allergies should be aware that we cannot guarantee that an assistance dog has not stayed in a chosen property recently (even one that doesn't allow pets as standard) or that the property owner does not have a dog or cat that sometimes occupies the property. We cannot accept responsibility for any suffering which may occur as a result of such animals having been present. Further, although all of our properties are cleaned between lets and regularly 'deep cleaned', we cannot guarantee that properties will be completely free from pet hair.
The use of accommodation and amenities, where offered, such as swimming pools, hot tubs, rowing boats, beach huts etc, is entirely at the users' risk and no responsibility can be accepted for injury, or loss or damage to users' or visitors' belongings. However, BG do not seek to exclude or limit legal liability for the negligence of their servants or agents.
Further, the Owner/BG will not be liable to you, any member of your party or person visiting the property during the period of your hire of it for happenings outside its reasonable control, such as breakdown of domestic appliances, plumbing, wiring, temporary invasion of pests, building works at adjacent properties, damage resulting from exceptional weather conditions or other unforeseeable circumstance. You also accept that BG in acting as agent for the owner will not be liable for any negligence on the part of the Owner resulting in loss, injury or accident.
Electric vehicles are becoming increasingly common and we want to ensure they can be catered for wherever possible. Not all properties will have a suitable and safe place to charge vehicles, so it is recommended you check prior to booking if this is an essential requirement. We strongly advise that you only use designated charging points (where available) and manufacturer approved cables for charging any vehicle when at the property. Owners hold the right to charge additional fees if charging is felt to be excessive and/or refuse to allow electric vehicles to be charged if they do not think it is suitable/safe to do so.
Any damage to the electric system at the property through incorrect use, overload of the system or the use of a standard extension cable will be the responsibility of the hirer. Should damage occur the costs of repair are the responsibility of the hirer and are not covered by the accidental damage waiver.
In no circumstances may more than the maximum numbers of persons, as stated in the brochure/website, occupy a property. The Owner/BG reserve the right to refuse admittance if this condition is not observed. No refunds will be given if admittance has been refused for this reason. Further, where properties specify a minimum age limit for customers, in no circumstances may any persons under the specified age limit, as stated in the brochure/website, occupy a property. The Owner/BG reserve the right to refuse admittance if this condition is not observed. No refunds will be given if admittance has been refused for this reason. The person who completes the booking, i.e. the lead name, certifies that he or she is authorised to agree to the Booking Conditions on behalf of all members of the party, including any changes. The lead name must be over 18 years and a member of the party occupying the property. The lead name agrees to take responsibility for all members of the party. The Owner/BG reserve the right to refuse or revoke any bookings from parties that may in their opinion (and at their sole discretion) be unsuitable for the property concerned.
For the whole of the period included within your booking, you will be responsible for the property and will be expected to take all reasonable care of it. The property and all equipment and utensils must be left clean and tidy at the end of the hire period. If a property is not left clean and tidy, any additional cleaning costs will be charged to the hirer. Should there be any specific health or mobility difficulties which may affect a party member; this must be pointed out at the initial reservation stage so that the suitability of the property can be assessed. The property must be vacated by 10.00 am on the day of departure, along with any parking provision.
All damages and breakages are the legal responsibility of the Hirer and should be reported immediately and before the end of the holiday. The reasonable costs of miscellaneous repairs to and/or replacement of and/or additional cleaning of furnishings, kitchen equipment, crockery, glass, keys, bedding and towels damaged or soiled otherwise than by usual wear and tear during the period of Hire by you or other members of your party shall be payable on demand to the BG who may also, at their discretion, refuse further bookings. Any Accidental Damage Deposits charged will be cashed on receipt to allow for bank clearance and reimbursed promptly after the holiday (less any deductions which may be incurred). The Owner/BG has the right to enter the property (without prior notice if this is not practical or possible) if special circumstances or emergencies arise (for example if repairs need to be carried out). The Owner/BG reserves the right to repossess the Holiday Home at any time where you or any member of your party has caused damage, and in such circumstances the Owner/BG shall not be liable to make a refund of any remaining portion of the hire terms paid.
It is a requirement when booking certain specified properties with BG to pay either an Accidental Damage Deposit or an Accidental Damage Deposit Waiver.
14.1 The Accidental Damage Deposit is due with the balance of your holiday, it will be cashed on receipt and held by BG to be applied against the reasonable costs of miscellaneous repairs to and/or replacement of and/or additional cleaning of furnishings, kitchen equipment, crockery, glass, keys, bedding and towels damaged or soiled otherwise than by usual wear and tear during the period of Hire by you or other members of your party. The balance of the Accidental Damage Deposit will be returned to you within 7 working days of the departure date. Where such costs exceed the Accidental Damage Deposit you will pay such excess to the Owner within 14 days of being notified.
14.2 Where you have agreed to pay the Accidental Damage Deposit Waiver the Accidental Damage Deposit is not payable. The Accidental Damage Deposit Waiver is a non-refundable payment by you to BG in lieu of the Accidental Damage Deposit. The Accidental Damage Deposit Waiver covers the costs of making good any loss or damage to the property and/or its contents caused through act or omission during the period of Hire by you or other members of your party up to the value of the Accidental Damage Deposit for the booked property. Where any such damage caused exceeds this amount, you agree to pay to BG, acting on behalf of the Owner, upon written demand, any reasonable costs incurred in making good any such loss or damage above the predetermined amount. The Accidental Damage Deposit Waiver is not available on breaks longer than 14 nights.
The Owner/BG take every care to ensure the accuracy of the property descriptions. All information in BG's brochure or other marketing material and on the BG website is given in good faith and is believed to be correct at the time of going to press, but the Owner/BG cannot be held responsible for changes beyond their control, which may become known after publication of this literature. In addition, whilst properties may be described as non-smoking or no pets, this cannot be guaranteed. Please be aware that if a property is advertised as having an enclosed garden, this does not necessarily mean a secure garden. It may be enclosed by hedging or open style fencing. The Owner/BG's description of a cottage shows what amenities that property has but generally does not state what is not in the self-catering property.
The Hiring Contract is made on the understanding that the holiday home and its facilities as published will be available for the dates stated. In the unlikely event that a property is not available through events arising outside the control of the Owner/BG then the Owner/BG may be forced to cancel the booking and you will be advised as early as possible. Where possible, you will be offered suitable alternative accommodation, which, if not acceptable, will entitle you to a refund of all monies due. You will not as a result have any further claims against BG or the owner. Please note that reservation requests taken via our website are not confirmed bookings until we have contacted you and accepted a deposit.
If you choose to holiday in an older property, remember that much of its character and charm is due to its age. Some of our properties are well over 100 years old and were built long before the days of damp proof courses and cavity walls so some may show signs of damp, particularly in long spells of wet weather. The owner/BG do their best to ensure that the background heating is kept on sufficiently to compensate, even when the property is empty. Condensation can be alleviated by opening windows and allowing the air to circulate. If you have any concerns, please talk to us at the time of making your reservation. Also, please remember that should traditional property features (steep stairs or low beams, for example) be a problem for any member of your party, you must consider and mention this prior to booking.
Please remember that properties in the country do attract spiders and therefore cobwebs. It does not mean that the cottage is dirty or has not been cleaned as cobwebs can be spun almost as quickly as they have been cleaned away! Some of our properties, particularly in remote areas, may have a private water supply from a spring or well water, which is regularly tested. In rural areas please be tolerant of the sounds and scents that you may encounter, they are all a part of the countryside experience!
If the Hirer wishes to make a complaint about anything connected with the hire of the property, they should contact BG as soon as reasonably possible prior to departure. In the event the Hirer does not have phone reception at the location where they are staying, the Hirer must make reasonable efforts to make a call from a nearby public telephone, send us an email or visit our office. BG will then either pass the complaint on to the Owner of the property to deal with or it may consider the complaint and take action to resolve this itself as soon as reasonably practicable.
Please note, the contract of hire is between the Hirer and the Owner of the property and whilst BG may act on a goodwill basis as arbiters between the Hirer and the Owner to resolve any dispute it cannot be held liable if one or both parties are dissatisfied with the outcome.
In no circumstances can compensation be made for any complaints that are made after the hire has ended, or where the Hirer has denied BG or the Owners of the property the opportunity to address the issue during the Hirer's stay.
Neither BG or the Owners of the property can accept responsibility for work taking place outside the boundary of the property, or for noise or nuisance resulting from third party activity over which BG or the Owners of the property have no control.
We aim to provide a high level of customer service and want all of our customers to be completely happy with their holiday. In the unlikely event that you have any issues with your accommodation, please get in touch with us as soon as possible during your stay so that we can do our best to put it right.
Hirers have the right to refer a complaint to the EU's Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) Platform at http://ec.europa.eu/odr. This ODR platform is a means of registering your complaint with us; it will not determine how your complaint should be resolved.
We guarantee you always get the lowest price when you book your holiday property directly through us. To qualify for our Best Price Guarantee, you must find the same property, for the same party size, over the same date period and notify us within 24 hours of your booking, in writing by post or email. The lower price must be viewable by anyone prior to booking and bookable by anyone, i.e. not a negotiated rate, a member rate, an offer applicable to only part of your stay or an offer which requires a credit card number or code to see. This offer does not apply to any optional extras, service charges or other fees and excludes changes in currency conversion rates. We will then validate your claim within 48 hours. The same property must be available for booking at a qualifying lower price in the same currency when we validate your claim.
If your claim is successful, we will notify you in writing by post or email and refund the difference or adjust your outstanding balance. Only one claim may be submitted per booking.
BG reserves the right to deny claims if we believe that the Best Price Guarantee is being intentionally abused or manipulated to circumvent its intent. A claim may be invalidated if you make any changes to the reservation after the claim has been submitted and approved.
BG will process your data in accordance with its Privacy Policy which can be found here and which also details your rights and how to contact us in relation to any data protection queries.
At all times your data will be held securely and protected in line with BG's obligations under UK data protection legislation. Your party names and contact details will only be shared with the Owner in order to allow the Owner to manage your holiday and give you the best possible experience.
If you request that we pass on supplementary information that you wish to provide to the Owner, for any reason, then we will do so. BG will securely hold that information on your behalf as part of your booking record unless you ask us to delete it. Any such information is provided at your sole request and discretion, and BG bears no responsibility for its accuracy or contents.
If a court finds part of these Conditions of Hire or any contract to which they apply illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these Conditions of Hire operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
In the event of any dispute between parties it shall be referred to the jurisdiction of the English courts only and any actions shall be heard in the court for the area in which the property is situated.
These Booking Conditions supersede any previous issues.

Statins are a type of medicine used to treat high cholesterol.
These medicines block an enzyme the body needs to produce cholesterol, thereby
lowering the total amount of it in the blood.
Statins, also known
as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, help reduce the risk of heart attack and
stroke. Along with reducing cholesterol levels in the blood, statins reduce
inflammation around the cholesterol buildup (called a plaque). By stabilizing
the plaque, there is less risk that it will rupture and cause a blood clot that
can lead to a heart attack or stroke.

Since the 1990s, the options for internet connectivity in Amigo, WV have advanced significantly. The technologies used by ISPs improve continually. Therefore if a firm has used a single method for a long time, they need to evaluate other options. However, different options have their unique benefits and limits. An important issue is that of availability. Many internet providers are efficient but have a short range or inadequate distribution network. Before making a choice it is important to carry out research on the options that are available in one's region. The prevalent methods of internet access are DSL, dedicated leased lines, WiMAX, fiber optic and satellite.
Most ISPs in Amigo, WV offer various services together with internet access. Therefore, it is important to choose an ISP whose package gives the most value for money. At the very least an ISP should offer business web hosting, phone service and email hosting. Another important service provided by ISPs is support. Paying for support from the ISPs ensures that the ISP will resolve any problems encountered with the internet connection. Additionally, the support should be available at times suitable for your business. If your business runs 24/7, you are advised to find an ISP that provides support at all times
The best ISPs in Amigo, WV offer consultative services for businesses. Their expert visits the business premises assesses its requirements. The consultant will then recommend solutions that could improve the efficiency of the firm. For example, they may propose the upgrading of existing internet equipment. An ISP provider should also advise a business on how much bandwidth is required based on the number of employees and devices used in the organization.
Though it's true that lower speeds of business internet in Amigo, WV are less expensive than their higher counterparts, this option isn't always the best for business. When uploading or downloading data takes too long or the network is generally slow, employees and customers can get frustrated. The whole point of having business grade internet is to allow for functionality and room for growth.
Ask potential internet service providers about caps and throttling, and whether they limit download speeds based on what time of day the internet is used. Will customers, employees, and management have their speeds limited at peak times? Ask about any potential limitations, especially those that may be included in fine print.
Another important factor to consider is the inclusion of security protection. A high-quality ISP for businesses in Amigo, WV will offer a variety of defense options including anti-virus software, anti-spam, anti-malware, and anti-spyware. Ask for details about how much of this protection is offered, whether it covers the mobile devices that use the system; and in the case of a system crash or failure, Does the provider offer off-site backup? If a provider doesn't offer what your business needs, don't be afraid to look into another company.
If your business relies heavily on an internet connection, you need an ISP with various levels of support. You likely can't afford downtime, and even lag can hurt your operations. This is why a strong connection is needed for sales and productivity.
When going through the selection process among business ISPs in Amigo, WV, it's imperative that you ask about their Service Level Agreements. This agreement essentially promises continual uptime, or at the very least, service that is up 99.9% of the time. In the event that the connection is interrupted, the company might offer compensation in some form. This will be discussed in the Service Level Agreement. Should the internet ever experience a goof-up, you will likely be compensated with discounts in your billing.
Wirefly can help connect you with the best plans and rates currently offered in Amigo, WV. All you have to do to get started is provide your ZIP code. Many other websites promise information about narrowing down a good business ISP, but we offer useful tools right on our website for comparing the actual companies and their respective plans across the board.
You may find that you are somewhat limited with internet provider choices in Amigo, WV because of your geographical location. Still, choose who you do use carefully in order to get the most for your money. Find out if your ISP is prepared to coincide with any changes in the tech world as the internet changes and evolves. A reputable company should change and expand their services to meet any changes in the future.
The IPv6 is a new development that is one example of changes to the internet. This change is ready to replace those who use IPv4. IPv6 will offer a company the use of an unlimited amount of different IP addresses, as more and more devices will have the capability of having internet connections in the future. Having a unique address will make it easier in the long run to configure new devices. Businesses won't have to pay as much to connect to the internet. It is always important to consider these different factors when looking for the best ISP for your company. Just a few inquiries could help lower business costs.

U.S. consumers spent more in May as their income increased at the fastest pace in three months, gains that could help economic growth rebound.
The Commerce Department said Thursday that consumer spending rose 0.3 percent last month. That made up for a 0.3 percent decline in April, which was the biggest drop since the fall of 2009. The rise in spending was due in part to a 0.9 percent increase in purchases of durable goods such as autos.
Income rose 0.5 percent in May, the biggest gain since February and much better than the 0.1 percent April increase. Even with the gain, after-tax income is up just 1.1 percent over the past year after taking inflation into account.
Americans chose to put a little more away last month, too. The savings rate rose to 3.2 percent in May, up from 3 percent in April. That was the highest since December.
And consumers are also benefiting from low inflation. A measure of prices ticked up just 1 percent in May compared with a year ago, well below the Federal Reserve 2 percent target. Some Fed critics believe the central bank should be considering further support for the economy to guard against deflation, a destabilizing period of falling prices.
Consumer spending is watched closely because it accounts for 70 percent of economic activity. The increase in May could calm new fears that higher taxes are having a bigger impact on Americans' spending power.
The government on Wednesday cut its estimate for growth in the January-March quarter to a 1.8 percent annual rate, sharply below its previous estimate of a 2.4 percent rate. The main reason for the revision was consumer spent less than initially estimated. Some economists said the revision suggested an increase in Social Security taxes this year was squeezing consumers more than expected.
The tax increase has lowered take-home pay for most Americans. A person earning $50,000 a year has about $1,000 less to spend this year. A high-earning couple has up to $4,500 less to spend.
Tepid growth could keep the Federal Reserve from scaling back its bond purchases later this year. Chairman Ben Bernanke spooked investors last week when he said the Fed will likely slow its bond-buying this year if the economy continues to strengthen. But Bernanke added that if the economy weakens, the Fed won't hesitate to delay its pullback or even step up its bond purchases again.
The bond purchases have helped keep interest rates low.
Economists say overall economic growth will likely stayed slow for the next few months as consumers and businesses adjust to the higher taxes and deep federal spending cuts. But many think growth will pick up in the final three months of this year, helped by further job gains and a stronger housing recovery.
The latest data have been positive.
Consumers spent more at retail businesses in May, buying more on cars, home improvements and sporting goods. U.S. factories are fielding more orders. Higher home sales and prices are signaling a steady housing recovery. And employers added 175,000 jobs last month, in line with the average job growth over the past 12 months.
Steady job growth has lowered the unemployment rate to 7.6 percent, down from 10 percent in 2009. And this week the Conference Board said a better job market helped lift Americans' confidence in the economy rose to the highest level in 5 ½ years..

New Tactic: Optimism
Today in Geometry, we're starting a new unit. When we get to a new unit, I always have to sigh with relief. Starting a new unit is like starting afresh but still using the most important stuff from last unit. I actually think I did pretty well in the last unit test, so I'm super excited about that. So the way things go in Mr. Spencer's is:
- Talk about the homework we just turned in.
- Talk a little about what we're going to learn today
- Hand out the packets for the chapter we're working on that day
- Tell us the vocab words and maybe explain them if we don't quite understand
- Tell us what goes in the blanks for the notes. The packet already has the notes in them with blanks we have to fill in.
- Then we have the rest of the block to sit around and do the work.

I Can Haz Magnetite
For a lab in Science, we had to bring in 12 rocks in an egg carton. Me, leaving it to the last minute, was trying to think of ways to get rocks last night with it being cold and dark outside. The solution: my room. I found lots of pretty rocks that I've collected on various trips, and kept them in random places in my room. Picking the prettiest of the prettiest, I put them in an egg carton and got prepared for bed. The next day (today), Ms. Robinett was explaining the stations, like finding volume, weight, size, and streak. She was explaining some, like the acid test, the magnet test, and looking it over with a magnifying glass. She said for the magnet test that if it's magnetic, then it's magnetite, except for that's very rare. Guess who found out she brought magnetite!
When I asked Ms. Robinett again what kind of rock is magnetic, she said magnetite and asked if I had it. I was so excited! One of my friends asked where I found it, and I said my room. Ms. Robinett laughed and said I found it under my bed with my asteroids. One of my friends who has the same science teacher after me said that Ms. Robinett told them about a student having magnetite for the first time in 20 years.

Art directors are becoming animators. Print designers are becoming web designers. Illustrators are also photographers and editors who also shoot film. They are the New Creatives, and we are celebrating their work.
With the Creative Cloud our product teams have removed the barriers to creative expression: Designers can build parallax HTML5 experiences. Illustrators are making EPUBs. Photographers are using their cameras and Adobe technology to become filmmakers. And coders have the tools to make beautiful design.
It's an amazing and interesting time in our industry; people have the ability to self-express, in any discipline, without boundaries. I Am The New Creative promotes the amazing work our community is producing and marks this moment in time as a movement and a celebration of creativity.
One of the most incredible aspects of this program has been watching creative professionals merge their mediums and their portraits to produce "New Creatives" versions of themselves.
There's something magical about the compositions. As a designer there's always a part of me in my work, but to personalize my work in this way, to make my work more representative of me, presents an alternative perspective. All of the artists we're working with are enjoying this experience and are appreciative of our desire to promote their amazing creative output.
Our new site highlights the New Creatives, their disciplines, their work, and their stories.
Visitors to the site can join us and become New Creatives (submissions are made through Behance and curated by our team); we'll be choosing a number of artists and celebrating them and their work throughout our social properties and on Adobe.com during the coming year.
Be sure to check out the work of the New Creatives, get inspired, and join us.

Digital Resources: The Essex Collection of Art from Latin America
This is an advance summary of a forthcoming article in the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Latin American History. Please check back later for the full article.
The Essex Collection of Art from Latin America (ESCALA) was originally founded as the University of Essex Collection of Latin American Art (UECLAA) in 1993, but, with no permanent display space, a versatile online presence has been essential to its success as a resource for students, curators, and researchers. By about the year 2000 it comprised around 400 works from about 10 different countries.
While it is important to remember that viewing a work of art onscreen is no substitute for viewing it firsthand, the digital catalogue is an essential aspect of ESCALA's activities. It can offer resources that a paper catalogue cannot (it can provide a record of an artist's performance, for example), it serves as a versatile resource for teaching and research, and it generates interest in the field among those who happen upon it through random searches.

The who tried to kill the X-Men, Brett Ratner, is developing a new time traveling series that basically sounds like Quantum Leap but without any of the charm. The drama is slated for ABC, and is backed by Law & Order producer Barry Schindel. According to Deadline, the series is called Tomorrow and is "high-concept" show centered around an FBI agent who becomes "trapped in a time travel scenario."
The project is being shot at Independent TV studio Georgeville Television, which is also developing the Blake's 7 reboot for Syfy. Which was name checked in this article, so apparently that's still in the pipeline.

You have probably read about the $700 billion approved by Congress in a contentious vote in early October. But that's only the most public portion of the money the government is shelling out to restart the nation's stalled financial system. In the past 16 weeks, the government has pledged, loaned or invested some $10 trillion to fix ailing banks, jump-start financial markets and keep the automakers from bankruptcy.
The final cost won't be that high, since most of the assets the government is buying or insuring have some value. Nonetheless, the past few months have been expensive ones for U.S. taxpayers. Have the efforts been successful? It depends how low you set the bar. Our financial system hasn't fully collapsed, but neither is it repaired. "The bailout programs have bought us time, but they haven't fixed the problems, and in some ways they have exacerbated them," says Edward Yardeni, who heads his own economic consulting firm.
In late December, the government finished spending the first half of the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program, making now a perfect time for a report card on TARP and the many other assistance efforts the government has pursued. One effort, the recent auto-industry bailout, is too new to assess. But as for the other government efforts, although there are some bright spots, it's far from a sterling review. Read on and weep:

Welcome to the most nerve-wracking NFL fantasy game on the planet.
The beauty of Eliminator Challenge lies in its simplicity: every week you're asked to pick the winner of one NFL game straight up. If the team you choose prevails then you advance! The only caveat? You can only use a team once during the season.
And so the strategic intricacies and decisions emerge. Do you map out the entire schedule ahead of time, assuming the teams you feel are strong at the start of the season can remain that way for all 17 weeks? Do you take the biggest favorite every week and hope to consistently survive the dreaded upset? Perhaps you save an elite team for a juicy matchup down the road and rely on one that's less favorable to carry you through.
In the NFL nothing comes easy. It's usually the matchup you overlook that gets the better of you, and if that happens your season is over. That's right: if you lose even once you're out. While devastating in its abruptness, the challenge of having to survive and advance each and every week is what makes this so fun to play.
The Packers (-8 v. CHI) are the second-largest favorites of Week 1, but they will garner larger spreads later in the year. Do you burn them early with a good shot to live for another week or do you stash them for a better opportunity?
Another option would be to risk it all on the Ravens (-6.5 v. BUF) in what on paper looks to be their best chance of the year for a win, potentially going against a team with a QB making his first-ever start under center. You'll have to eventually select 17 of the 32 teams if you want to go the distance so a Super Bowl contender can't always be in your corner. It's a risk, but one that could pay a high dividend.
Whatever you choose to do there's sure to be a time when you're sitting on the edge of your couch wondering why you decided to stake your entire season on a team that's now losing in the 4th quarter. It's inevitable. But there's sure to be another week when you're in the clear and good percentage of your competitors are facing a similar situation. Enjoy the ride!
Be sure to check out these great resources every week to help you make the right decisions:

The closest thing to Jewish culture in America is a New Yorker – At least to most of America. You know, like all the stereotypes in Seinfeld. Which most, of course, are based in some semblance of reality. Emily can attest to now understanding Seinfeld on a whole new level now that she has been a part of my family for a few years. (See the Seinfeld episode where Jerry's mother sends him the $50 check. Case in point.)
Well, that was what I thought up until I went to a Filipino Baptism celebration. Yay Elise!
It was all the same:
- More ethnic food than you can imagine being pushed down your throat by older women if not Grandmothers.
- Grandmothers with over-sized and verging on the line of gaudy jewelry.
- Playing Mahjong for dimes.
- Family everywhere basically hanging from the light fixtures
- Telling it like it is.
- People everywhere running around in 600 different directions.
- Lotsa love…
So yeah, despite the fact that we basically drove to Pennsylvania yet we were still in a suburb Baltimore we had a great time with Annette and Billy's family. The drive actually isn't all that bad. And that Filipino family is definitely my 3rd family. Just like home.

Many employers offer group life insurance as part of an employee benefits package, along with health insurance, disability insurance, a retirement plan and other perks. In some cases, the employer pays 100 percent of the premium--providing life insurance with no cost to the employee. In other cases, the employee pays all or part of the premium and can choose whether to purchase through the employer's group life insurance plan. Life insurance through company.
Getting life insurance for free or at a bargain price is an obvious advantage if your employer picks up part or all of the tab for the coverage. Another advantage is you don't have to undergo a medical examination or fill out a health questionnaire as you would for a standard individual term life insurance or whole life insurance policy.
If your employer's paying for the coverage, there's no disadvantage to accepting it. But there is danger in assuming that coverage is enough to provide the financial protection your family needs. You should assess your family finances to determine how much life insurance you need. Typically employer-sponsored group life insurance provides a relatively small amount of coverage, such as $25,000. That's probably not enough if you have young children, a mortgage and other debts.
Cheap homeowners insurance
In addition, in most cases the coverage ends when you leave the company. So if you're laid off or quit, the life insurance disappears. If you have no other life insurance in place, then you're without any protection.
Consider purchasing an individual life insurance policy that's designed to fit your family's needs. Consider term life insurance if money is tight. Term life has no cash value savings and provides coverage if you die within the policy's term, such as 10, 15, 20 or 30 years. You choose a term that coincides with your family's greatest needs, such as those years before the kids are grown up and the mortgage and college education bills are paid off. Term life is inexpensive, particularly for young, healthy people.
Buying term life insurance policy
Permanent life insurance, such as whole life and universal life, is much more expensive than term life, but it covers you for the rest of your days, no matter when you die, and includes a cash value savings account.
Most term life insurance policies allow you to convert them to permanent life insurance within a certain timeframe.
Inexpensive life insurance

On Saturday, the Tennessee State University women's basketball team participated in the 10th Annual Sherry's Run to benefit those affected by cancer.
Members of the Lady Tiger basketball team arrived in Lebanon, Tenn. early in the morning to take part in the actual run before assisting with clean-up at the conclusion of the race.
Because of Sherry's Run, a 5K run/walk benefit organized in Sherry Patterson's memory, area cancer victims and their families can make strides toward becoming cancer survivors, and researchers are a small step closer to stopping the disease for good.
"It was a great experience just to be there and be involved in this fundraiser to fight cancer," commented head Coach Larry Inman. "Cancer is one of the worst things in the world, it takes so many lives. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer about 20 years ago. Thank goodness she lived through it and beat it."
In February 2003, Sharon "Sherry" Patterson Whitaker began to experience discomfort in her side. With no real sense of urgency, she visited a nurse practitioner several weeks later, at the encouragement of a friend. She was hospitalized immediately. A few days later, on a Friday, the diagnosis was made. Sherry had a deadly form of colon cancer known as adenocarcenoma.
She began an aggressive treatment plan that included surgery and three rounds of chemotherapy. In spite of valiant efforts and a positive outlook, Sherry Whitaker lost her battle on May 12, 2004.
A few weeks after her death a close friend, Tamara Lampsa, approached Sherry's husband Gary with an idea about honoring her friend that could also help fight the deadly disease that took her life. After talking it over with friends and family and the group's desire to take action led to a 5K run/walk to benefit the research and treatment of colon cancer, and Sherry's Run was born.
"Every day they're looking for cures," coach Inman continued. "That's the reason we run, in a hope that they can find a cure. And for those that are affected by it (cancer), Sherry's Run allows them an opportunity at a better way of life going through a very difficult time."
This year, Sherry's Run had over 4,000 participants.

Kevin Huizenga and Dan Zettwoch sign at Star Clipper Comics on Friday, June 22 at 7 p.m.!
Press Release:
St. Louis-based creators Kevin Huizenga and Dan Zettwoch will both introduce new collections of their work published by Drawn & Quarterly Friday, June 22 at 7 p.m.!
In GLORIANA, Kevin Huizenga exposes the mechanics that underpin everyday life. Huizenga has an understated, quiet approach to story writing that allows his characters (and his readers) the self-awareness to recognize the humor and tragedy of the quotidian.
In Dan Zettwoch's BIRDSEYE BRISTOE, a mysterious stranger comes to town… only the town is not really a town and the stranger is a gigantic cell-phone tower! The town of Birdseye Bristoe (a portmanteau created from an interstate sign that points to two real towns) has only one real permanent resident, an old-timer known only as Uncle. Birdseye Bristoe begins with the destruction of the cell tower and works backward to unravel the story of its fall.
Meet the artists at an opening reception from 7 to 10 p.m., and get your picture taken with the characters of GLORIANA and BIRDSEYE BRISTOE!
Exclusive prints by the artists will be offered with any purchase of a Kevin Huizenga or Dan Zettwoch book by Drawn & Quarterly.

Police are investigating an early-morning attack that sent one man to the hospital with knife wounds to his hands and arms.
A 19-year-old man was taken to Lahey Clinic in Burlington after being stabbed early this morning.
The victim suffered "severe lacerations to his hands and arms," said Arlington Police Chief Frederick Ryan, adding that they were defensive wounds.
According to Ryan, the assailant, wearing a hood pulled over his face, knocked on the door at 5 Colonial Village Drive at 5:23 a.m.
The victim and another man were attacked when they opened the door, Ryan said. Only the 19-year-old was reported to have injuries.
"The investigation is ongoing, (but) we do not believe this is a random act of violence," Ryan said. "It appears that the victim and the friend were targeted by the perpetrator."
The victim was a visitor in the apartment. Ryan said a police dog helped search the crime scene, and there was an undetermined amount of a controlled class D substance reportedly seized from the apartment.
The suspect has yet to be identified and reportedly fled before police arrived.

One of coffee's big stories of the past year has been the seemingly sudden discovery and public awareness of Fair Trade coffee. Twenty years after the founding of Equal Exchange, Fair Trade coffee awareness reached critical mass this year in the U.S., the U.K., and many other nations around the world.
This awareness began with a select group of activists who recognized the inequities that globalization was bringing about in the world. Then it was a number of coffee industry specialists. Then more social and environmental activists. And finally, in the past year or so, it has taken hold with more of the mainstream: socially and environmentally conscious consumers, bloggers, journalists, the coffee-obsessed dinner guest, etc. But to read newspapers and blogs in the past year, you'd think the only controversy surrounding Fair Trade was that there were still places that sold or used coffee that wasn't certified Fair Trade.
The good news is that after years of public campaigns to help make people aware of the plight of coffee farmers who cannot make a living wage under the current systems, and the many ills of industrialized coffee farming, consumers are now responding en masse to the concepts of Fair Trade. Consumers are now asking questions about where their coffee comes from and how their decisions affect the people and land elsewhere in the world.
The bad news is that there are now millions of people entirely new to the concept of Fair Trade. Many of these newly initiated consumers have essentially afforded Fair Trade with monopoly on ethical and sustainable coffee farming practices — at least subconsciously. Some even go so far as to absurdly believe that to use, sell, or purchase coffee that isn't certified Fair Trade is unquestionably immoral, irresponsible, and destructive.
The Fair Trade Mafia
Earlier this year, I recall a specific incident where Eton Tsuno, owner and head barista at SF's (regrettably) now-defunct Café Organica, was cornered by coffee consumers who complained that only 80% of the coffees he used were certified Fair Trade. Here's a coffee expert who knew a tremendous amount about the industry, quality coffee, and its various social and ethical implications. And yet he was being talked down to by boycotters, armed with a flimsy three-paragraph article on Fair Trade coffee, who essentially accused him of unethical practices over 20% of his coffee supplies. This was insane — and yet another example where a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing.
As with most problems with worldwide social, economic, and environmental implications, there aren't simplistic solutions. Nor are there convenient black-or-white decisions. The reality is a lot more confusing for the average consumer. If you asked Frederick Engels how to address the huge, worldwide problem of worker exploitation in the early days of the Industrial Revolution, Communism sounded like a pretty good idea on paper. But you would probably get a wholly different story when asking someone who lived under Communist rule for how well it worked out in practice.
"Look for the Fair Trade label" seems like the most obvious, simplistic strategy for the consumer who can only scratch the surface of this issue — in a busy life full of dizzyingly complex ethical consumer decisions. However, Fair Trade has also hurt a number of other coffee producers who hold practices at least as ethical and sustainable (locking them out of access to certain markets, placing conform-or-perish ultimatums on some family farms, requiring thousands of dollars in certification fees, creating price ceilings for growers, not rewarding higher quality, etc.). Furthermore, Fair Trade itself is also rife with problems. For example, earlier this year, the London Financial Times reported on several problems with Fair Trade, including weak enforcement of certification, allowing farmers to plant in protected rainforests, and certifying growers who do not pay their employees a living wage.
Ethics beyond Fair Trade
Since Fair Trade's origin, some professionals in the coffee industry have said that something is better than nothing, while others have long stated Fair Trade is worse than nothing at all. Perhaps one of the greatest statements on Fair Trade's shortcomings came this year from Chicago's Intelligentsia, one of America's premiere specialty coffee roasters and home to the 2006 U.S. Barista Champion. Intelligentsia found enough problems and inconsistencies with Fair Trade that they opted to define and pursue their own alternative certification system, called Intelligensia Direct Trade™, and no longer do business with Fair Trade. Yes, it turns out that there are many alternatives to Fair Trade — just without a commonly recognized "brand" label.
All of this isn't to scare off people from wanting to improve matters by patronizing Fair Trade. Fair Trade has done a number of great things that have improved things for coffee quality, coffee growers, and the environment. However, Fair Trade is not a cure-all, and it's not without its controversy and shortcomings. The Fair Trade brownshirts may have the best of intentions, but that doesn't mean that they will succeed at achieving them. Unfortunately, at least today, there are no ethical shortcuts to solve the global coffee problem — consumers still need to read all the facts and make their own decisions for themselves.

[…] Before consumers can even question whether Fair Trade is an ethical, socially responsible, and effective solution to the global coffee problem, they currently have to question whether their coffee is correctly labelled Fair Trade to begin with. […]
[…] Yesterday's Sunday Times (London) ran a story concerning McDonald's UK's announcement of a coffee supply partnership with the Rainforest Alliance: McDonald's brews up £1m fair trade deal – Sunday Times – Times Online. At first read, I opted not to add a blog entry on how the Rainforest Alliance served as another alternative example to Fair Trade certification — to which some have errantly afforded an ethical monopoly status. I didn't feel the need to add to what's becoming a tedious Fair Trade debate. (Rainforest Alliance and Fair Trade differ, for example, in that the former does not attempt to guarantee minimum wages for growers.) […]
[…] If there's one organizational body that should know the difference between fallible and infallible, it should be the Catholic Church. Despite the many shortcomings of and negatives to Fair Trade (as cited multiple times here over the past year), the Catholic Church has apparently bought into Fair Trade propoganda whole-hog and conferred it with Pope-like infallability. Or at least according to the Web site, Catholic Online: Catholics called to build a better world, one cup of coffee at a time – Catholic Online. […]
[…] Some of you may recall just how much the zombie children of the Fair Trade cult scare the bejeezus outta me. Former Ritual Coffee Roasters barista, Gabriel Boscana, wrote a much more tactful and civil approach to these single-issue customers in this month's issue of Barista Magazine: FebMarch 07 – Certified Coffee Pusher. It was oddly reassuring to read that Gabe, while similarly appreciating their concern for creating a better world, also found many of them to be close-minded to a fault. […]
[…] years that it received heavy airplay. And unless you've been reading a rare opinion, such as this one, you'd think that to question the value and effectiveness of Fair Trade certification amounts […]

Social media has changed my life in a fundamental way that I never saw coming. My first innocent forays onto Twitter had not prepared me for the ride I was about to go on.
Through social media I have started a new career, grown more close to my husband, been able to spend more time with my son, and still managed to help provide for my family.
But those are the perks to what I do. They are not why I do it … there is grace in communication.
As a Pilates Instructor I live for those moments that seem to descend out of nowhere. I'll be teaching a class and we'll all just click, every movement has flow, my voice allows my students to focus more deeply, and we dance in a way, their bodies and my voice weaving together intricate patterns. The sweat builds, hard bones and sinew become fluid, and an awesome, amazing thing happens: my class and I find grace. It's powerful to all of us.
It brings me to tears and embarrassed giggles. My students know what I mean, and then hurry out into their busy lives. It's why I've taught Pilates for longer than I've ever done anything in my life—fifteen years now—to hit those random moments of grace, of being able to give my clients a small taste of empowerment.
Social media is often maligned by the uninitiated as a place of misfits and people who can't have "real relationships" in their "real lives." I suppose for some that's true, but that hasn't been my journey at all. I have found it a place of true connection.
Keyboards click, screens flicker and millions of people pour a torrent of words into the stream. Most of it washes over us in ones and zeros, never recognized into existence.
But then a stray comment will catch an eye, a conversation will start—maybe it'll be a cascade of back and forths, or maybe it'll be a few comments here and there over time. But there is a connection.
I have my people on social media that I depend on for a joke, a pick-me-up, or a kind word. Sometimes I don't even know their real names, just a Twitter handle and a sentence or two of biography. I try to give back in the same way with an atta boy/atta girl or a warm phrase when needed.
I have experienced everything through social media: humor, fear, failure, redemption, even death, have all come at me through the screen. I have made real true friends and been humbled when I was able to help someone. Many of these connections have spilled into "my real life"—and these are people I would never meet any other way.
There is grace in that. Our disconnected lives, blown apart from generational family ties, have found a new way to connect, to find a tribe, to belong.
Social media has evolved into a business. The software companies are our conduits, advertising the currency, and brands online jumping up and down for attention, looking to win eyeballs and wallets. But it is still all driven by humans, sorting ourselves by hashtags and groups, by geography and hobby. So we find our people and connect.
How brilliant is that? How truly, truly brilliant?
It's magical that we tap keyboards and stare at screens and find humans tapping back at us. Have you reached out and found a connection waiting for you? Have you been changed, even in a tiny way, by your social media life? How do you tap your connections?
Lisa Johnson went from Pilates studio owner to one of the top fitness people on social media with her popular blog, LisaJohnsonFitness.com. She balances teaching at the studio with working with social media clients through Healthy Dose Media, a company she founded with her husband, Greg Wymer. She is frequently found on Twitter @LisaJohnson.

It is one of the best films, if not the best film, in the history of Bollywood. As a standalone product, it is perhaps one of the most effective. To me, it is the driving force for restoration of faith in cinema. It is a film I am proudest of, not only as an Aamir Khan loyalist, but as a film enthusiast as well. It, ladies and gentlemen, is LAGAAN (2001). And on June 15, we celebrate seven years since its release!
Seven years later, Lagaan maintains relevance across cultures, geographies, histories, politics, and revolutionism. It offers countless lessons of love, hope, faith, struggle, teamwork, collaboration, understanding, innocence, patience, and perseverance. Perhaps most importantly, it serves as a reminder of the importance of saluting belief in goodness.
So allow me to dedicate the vast majority of posts this coming week to my favorite film of all-time, one that has mattered most for reasons I hope to discuss.
Chale Chalo. Let's enjoy the ride.
Addendum 7/11/2008:

However, given the none existant documentation for Pocoscript, can anyone advise if it's possible to quote the message headers to using syntax ?
I ask this only as I would find it useful to be able to do this when reporting spam (as they always ask for the headers and the body text) but cannot figure out how to do it.

Don Cameron Allen Renaissance Collection
Don Cameron Allen, a professor of English literature at The Johns Hopkins University, assembled his 5,000 volume library over forty years of collecting to support the study of Renaissance literature and culture. UC San Diego acquired the collection from Prof. Allen in 1967 to build up its library's research collections in the humanities, and many titles were added to the library's circulating collection at that time. The rare books from Allen's library, which form the Don Cameron Allen Renaissance Collection, number nearly 1,300 titles dating chiefly from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and comprise classical, Romance and English language literary texts, contemporary studies on textual and literary criticism, as well as books on philosophy, philology, theology, politics, history, classical studies, and both ancient and early modern science. With emphases on English and Italian literature and on Renaissance studies of antiquity, these materials as a whole represent an exceptionally rich and broad collection for the study and teaching of Renaissance thought, learning, and letters, and they provide exemplary humanistic texts for research in Greek and Latin literature, patristic thought, Greco-Roman art and archaeology, philosophy, history, politics, theology, and religion.
Because Allen acquired these books for their academic value, and because they were primarily published by and for scholars, the collection documents Renaissance learning through both the contents of the works and the physical characteristics of the books themselves. Most were edited, annotated or published by the leading authorities of the time, and Allen often acquired editions for their revised introductions or notes, or for their importance in the history of textual transmission, rather than for their basic texts. Manuscript notes contemporaneous with the century of printing are common throughout the margins and blank leaves of many of the books and provide additional indications of the scholarly legacy that these works represent.
Titles that reflect the broad range of the collection include: Pius VI's copy of the Bible (Rome, 1598); the first edition of Sir Walter Raleigh's History of the World (London, 1614); Sebastian Münster's Cosmographiae Universalis (Basel, 1554); Konrad Gesner's Historia Animalium (Frankfurt, 1585-1604); John Dee's A True and Faithful Relation (London, 1659); Tonson's edition of Julius Caesar's works (London, 1712); printings of classical works edited by the Aldine and Estienne families of printers; the first English edition of Erasmus's collected letters; Thomas North's rare 1579 edition of Plutarch's Lives; the scarce collections of British history sources known as the Somers Tracts and the Harleian Miscellany; Leandro Alberti's Descrittione di tutta l'Italia (Venice, 1596); and Giovani Pontano's collected works (Venice, 1505).
A catalog providing bibliographic descriptions of selected items in the collection has been published: A Selected Catalog of Books from the Library of Don Cameron Allen, compiled by J. M. Edelstein (La Jolla, Calif.: University Library, University of California, San Diego, 1968). The entire collection has been cataloged, and bibliographic descriptions are available online in Roger. Additionally, researchers can retrieve the full data set of bibliographic records for the collection by searching the author heading: "Allen, Don Cameron, 1904- former owner".
