Although the NTMP has been denied, The NAIL Steering Committee wants you to know that, regardless of what comes next, we remain committed to the following:
- The issues of logging in this watershed still stand- it's a bad idea for Fire Protection, Water Quality and Land Stability.
- Should the water company ever submit a Timber Harvest Proposal in the future, the community will fight back.
NAIL encourages all efforts to create a public
trust with this land
so that it can be enjoyed in its natural state for
generations to come.

NAIL is a non profit 501c3 organization relying on community dollars to keep logging out of our mountains.
Neighbors Against Irresponsible Logging (NAIL) formed in August, 2005 in order to protect the Los Gatos Creek Watershed and Thompson Road area from the San Jose Water Company's proposed logging operations with Big Creek Lumber.
There are many, many people who worked with NAIL and deserve your thank-you notes and letters. Please write to those listed below and express your thanks for all the work they did towards this plan denial:

Logging News Update: In another attempt to seek permission to log 1002
watershed acres in the Santa Cruz Mountains, San Jose Water Company has
submitted a new NTMP to CDF.
The previously submitted NTMP was withdrawn in December of 2005.
The NAIL Steering Committee continues to actively oppose the logging plan and will track developments and keep you informed.

San Jose Water Company NTMP Logging Plan DENIED!
This is a great victory for the residents of the Santa Cruz Mountains, as well as the forest, creeks and wildlife surrounding us.
On September 25th, 2007, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) ruled that the San Jose Water Company NTMP logging plan application is "INELIGIBLE".
The reason for denial? As NAIL had previously determined and announced at the Public Hearing in January, SJWC owns too many acres of timberland to meet the legal definition of a "Non-industrial tree farmer".
The Details:
- The Forest Practice Act states that a non-industrial tree farmer must own less than 2,500 timberland acres.
- SJWC claimed in their NTMP application that they own only 2,002 timberland acres.
- Matt Dias (RPF of Big Creek Lumber) repeated this number many times to the media.
- NAIL determined that SJWC owns at least 2,754 timberland acres, and likely more
- CALFIRE agreed, concluding that SJWC owns approximately 2,825 timberland acres
What does this mean? Not only that the plan should have been denied, but also that it was never even eligible for consideration in the first place! We the taxpayers have funded a very expensive public review process, for two long years, for an application that did not even meet the basic submission requirements. And this acreage issue only came to light because of NAIL's efforts.

Some of you have asked for a movie version of the Google Earth flyover overview of the San Jose Water Company proposed logging zone....so here it is. [Note, this movie version does not show the photos of redwood trees, beavers, creek scenes and other images contained in the complete Google Earth model, which you view in Google Earth]
This movie portrays the virtual flight up the Los Gatos Creek Canyon, showing the proposed logging zone and its proximity to schools, a children's playground and day care center as well as densely-populated residential communities; also shows where SJWC proposes to stage helicopter landing zones to air-lift out the redwood logs because this watershed land is so steep.

BULLYING: HOW WIDESPREAD IS IT? HOW IS IT PREVENTED?How prevalent is bullying in schools? What makes for an effective anti-bullying programme? What is the evidence for Social and Emotional Learning? To answer these questions and provide an overview of the wealth of work in this area, ENABLE partners have produced a report highlighting key studies, accompanied by a series of data sheets. Main reportThe The School Bullying Phenomenon and Anti-bullying Programmes: a research review is a comprehensive overview of bullying prepared by For Adolescent Health, Greece, with contributions from all ENABLE partners. It begins by looking at definitions of bullying, how children perceive it, various types of bullying (including cyber-bullying) and its consequences. Later chapters report on studies investigating the extent of the phenomenon in different countries and how it varies with age and gender, outline key intervention programmes to prevent bullying, and describe the Social and Emotional Learning approach adopted by ENABLE in its work with young people.

Prepare the cherries – wash the glaced cherries in a strainer under running water and wipe them dry.Take a tbsp flour from the measured flour and mix well with the cherries.Keep aside.
In a large mixing bowl, assemble the flour, baking powder, baking soda and mix with a whisk. Pour in the prepared milk mixture and mix well with a whisk until there are no lumps. Alternatively use an electric hand mixer/beater.Fold in the cherries.
Pour the prepared batter into the greased cake tin and bake for 55-60 minutes minutes or till a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- As you can make out,my cake was a bit on the dry side because I slightly over baked it.Though it didn't affect the taste in any way,I am sure it would have been great if the cake was moist and not dry.So keep a close tab on the cake while it is baking.
- Like many of you pointed out,this cake is very similar to Eggless Custard powder Snack Cake.But different too.The latter has a more pronounced Custard powder flavor while this cake has a very faint one.

Allegory of the Cedar. 1On the first day of the third month in the eleventh year,* the word of the LORD came to me: 2Son of man, say to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and to his hordes: In your greatness, whom do you resemble?
3Assyria! It is Assyria!*
A cedar of Lebanon—
Beautiful branches,
thick shade,
Towering heights,
its crown in the clouds!a
4The waters made it grow,
the deep made it tall,
Letting its currents flow
around the place it was planted,
Then sending its channels
to all the other trees of the field.b
5Thereupon it towered in height
above all the trees in the field;
Its branches were numerous
and its boughs long,
Because of the many waters
sent to its shoots.
6In its branches nested
all the birds of the sky;
Under its boughs all the wild animals
gave birth,
And in its shade* dwelt
all the mighty nations.c
7It was magnificent in size
and in the length of its branches,
For its roots reached down
to the many waters.
8In the garden of God,
no cedars could rival it,
No juniper could equal its branches,
no plane tree match its boughs.
No tree in the garden of God
could match its beauty.d
9I made it beautiful
with abundant foliage,
So that all the trees in Eden
were envious of it.*
10Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD:
Because it was arrogant about its height,
lifting its crown among the clouds
and exalting itself because of its size,e
11I handed it over to a ruler of nations
to deal with it according to its evil.
I have cast it off,
12and foreigners have cut it down,
The most ruthless nations,
have hurled it on the mountains.
Its boughs fell into every valley
and its branches lay broken
in every ravine in the land.
All the peoples of the earth
departed from its shade
when it was hurled down.f
13On its fallen trunk
sit all the birds of the sky;
Beside its fallen branches,
are found all the beasts of the field.
14This has happened so no well-watered tree
will gain such lofty height,
or lift its crown to the clouds.
Not one of those fed by water
will tower in height over the rest.
For all of them are destined for death,
for the underworld, among mere mortals,
with those who go down to the pit.
15Thus says the Lord GOD:
On the day it went down to Sheol,
I made the deep close up
in mourning for it.
I restrained the currents of the deep,
and held back the many waters.
I darkened Lebanon because of it,
and all the trees of the field
languished because of it.
16At the sound of its fall,
I made nations shudder,
When I cast it down to Sheol
with those who go down to the pit.
In the underworld
all the trees of Eden took comfort:
Lebanon's choicest and best,
all that were fed by the waters.g
17They too will go down to Sheol,
to those slain by the sword,
Its allies* who dwelt
in its shade among the nations.
18To whom among the trees of Eden
do you compare in glory and greatness?
You will be brought down
with the trees of Eden to the underworld,
And lie among the uncircumcised,
with those slain by the sword.
Such is Pharaoh and all his hordes—
oracle of the Lord GOD.
* [31:1] The first day of the third month in the eleventh year: June 21, 587 B.C.
* [31:3] Assyria: this translates te'ashshur, which some interpret as "cypress tree." The oracle, however, compares the fate of Pharaoh to the terrible demise of Assyria because of its arrogant pride (cf. Na 1–3). Ezekiel may have drawn on an ancient myth of a cosmic tree of life to emphasize the greatness of Egypt's fall.
* [31:6] Shade: a metaphor for protection (cf. Lam 4:20).
* [31:9] Here Israel's God is responsible for Assyria's splendor, whereas in Is 10:13 Assyria claims to have created its own might.
* [31:17] Allies: lit., "arm."
a. [31:3] Ps 92:12; Jer 50:18.

Leather Finished
Our finished leather is soft, supple, and hardwearing. A corrected grain leather, it is water resistant and easy to clean making it suitable for a wide range of applications. The natural cow hide undergoes a retannage process in addition to being treated with technically advanced finishing formulas to create a protective barrier against spillage and staining.
Occasionally vacuum furniture upholstered in leather. To clean, wipe leather with a damp cloth and a mild soap and be careful to avoid soaking. Products designed to feed the leather produce a sticky surface that attracts dust and dirt from continued use so we do not recommend them. Avoid excessive heat and if possible direct sunlight as these will dry the leather.
High humidity, warm temperatures, poor ventilation, and soiling can cause mould to grow on leather. It is important to keep the leather clean and to control the environment where the leather products are kept to prevent mould formation. We recommend using a Hygrometer to monitor the Relative Humidity in your home, to ensure that the conditions are neither too humid, nor too dry. The ideal conditions for your furniture are 50% relative humidity at 20 degrees Celsius (normal interior temperature).
Air conditioners or dehumidifiers can remove moisture from the air, and either should be used with windows and doors kept closed.
If mould does form, follow this procedure: Remove mould with a soft bristle brush (such as toothbrush), if possible outdoors to prevent scattering mildew spores in the home. Run a vacuum cleaner attachment over the surface of the leather to draw out more of the mould, being sure to immediately dispose of the vacuum bag outdoors. Dry the leather with an electric heater, fan, or sun and air. If necessary, sponge lightly with thick suds of mild soap and wipe with a clean damp cloth, being sure to avoid soaking the leather.

Keeping the foundation of a home in level condition is very important to the safety of your home, and is something any homeowner should have looked into on a regular basis. At the very least, you usually have your home foundation checked annually for levelness, and if there are certain areas that are beginning to sag. Fortunately for homeowners, there are foundation services offered for any type of foundation you can imagine a home sitting on, anywhere from pier supports to the traditional concrete slab.

Residential Foundation Services in La Vernia
The best way to support the edges and corners of a traditional foundation found in residential homes is by using helical anchor supports. These supports are situated around the foundation and then have an anchor that drives deep into the ground in order to provide extra support and to stop a foundation from becoming un-level. The best part about this type of support system is that it is affordable, installed quickly, and it does not ruin the landscaping around your home. If you live in an older home and have fears of your foundation being suspect to failure in the future, you should immediately call for a consultation from your trusted foundation support company.
Another common practice in homes with basements is to support the exterior walls of the basement that are constantly having pressure put on them from the surrounding land. The best support system to utilize for this is to have helical anchors installed that take some of the pressure off of the wall. The next step would be installing carbon fiber reinforcements to the wall itself, which will give the wall that extra needed strength so that it never becomes compromised.
If you live in a home that is on blocking or uses pier supports, you can have a special type of anchoring system installed that will keep your supports completely level, and at full strength. Many beach homes use a pier support system as their foundation of their home. This type of foundation often gets damaged from rising tides and from sitting on weak sands, which is why you can have them completely reinforced by putting anchors deeper into the ground so that they are sitting on hard soil instead of weak sand.
Concrete Repair & Restoration – Basic Things You Need to Know in TX
Bowing and cracking are obvious signs of a structural problem and it may worsen overtime when it goes unfixed. Basically, the longer you fix them, the more expensive the repair will be. When a concrete foundation gets damaged, it will cause problems in all the building. The windows and doors become hard to operate as they will be dealing with additional pressure from the damaged concrete. The building walls can crack, the floor may bow when you don't fix the problem right away. Fixing the foundation problem as soon as they arise will save you money down the line. It will also minimize the extent of the damage from the concrete problem.
What you can do is find the right concrete foundation company. By hiring the right concrete restoration company, you can ensure quality work and can limit the amount of unnecessary work. It is obviously hard to do the repair yourself as you have limited knowledge regarding this field of work. The best course of action is to hire a company that has worked on this field for a long time. Furthermore, an expert in restoration can see tiny problems that average Joes like you would not even think about. They have all the right tools, materials and skills to make foundation and concrete repairs.
Another thing that you might be thinking right now is you can save money by providing a quick fix for your weakening foundation. Doing things like filling cement or patching cracks on your foundation are both considered cosmetic repairs but they don't necessarily fix the entire problem. Doing these kinds of repair only provide temporary fix. Sooner or later, you will have to do a more permanent restoration. As I've said before, it is better to get the foundation fixed immediately instead of waiting for the damage to worsen overtime.
In summary, here's what you need to do:
1. Identify the problem
2. Ask professional advice (quote or estimate)
3. Find the right company based on several factors
4. Read about this company's reputation by checking out reviews and feedback score
5. Do a quick research on their methods and repair techniques
Foundation Repair in La Vernia TX
General symptoms of a structure needing foundation repairs are bulging or cracked walls and doors that don't close properly. Building on expansive soils is the main culprit for foundation settlement. When only one part of the foundation either settles or heaves, cracks are formed in the foundation. The exterior warning signs of improper floor settling are rotation of walls, displaced moldings, cracked bricks and foundation and separation around doors and windows from the walls. Interior warning signs of improper floor settling are cracks on the floor, sheet rock and misalignment in doors and windows.
There are many ways of doing foundation repair. Cement, stone, steel or wood were used extensively in past techniques. They would be forced into the ground in a bid to salvage the strength of these foundations. However, this type of repair work has been known to be futile. Two of the most successful ways of foundation repairs are slab jacking and the Piering method. Piering is also known as hydraulic jacking.
Slab jacking is the process of adding grout beneath a slab or beam. This produces a lifting force and restores the said beam or slab to almost its original elevation and adds to its strength. Care should be taken that the amount of sand should be perfect while adding grout.
4 Ways to Protect Your Foundation in Wilson County
1. Foundation liners
Any home with a window well has a veritable pool just waiting to be filled flush against the foundation. Those tiny pinholes and hairline cracks can let water seep in and quietly warp the wood beyond repair. It's also a cesspool for fungi and bacterial growth. Not only will a foundation liner help protect your foundation, but it will also make the entire window well look gorgeous-choose from a variety of materials that mimic natural materials.
2. Proper soil grading
Basements are hotspots for flooding, but you can't blame an overactive washing machine every time. Yes, it's where a lot of pipes are close to the walls, but more often it's a quick spring thaw or heavy rain that's to blame. Particularly if your basement has windows, you need to make sure the soil against the foundation is graded away from the home. A reputable landscaper can help with this.
3. Clear away snow quickly
If you live in a snowy region, as tedious as it may be, you need to remove snow regularly from your foundation and roof. Both of these areas are vulnerable to water damage, and snow is a lot heavier than you think. If you've been waiting for an excuse to hire a professional snow crew, this is it. Whether you use your own elbow grease or prefer to hire help, it's much easier and more affordable than risking a damaged foundation or roof from snowfall.
4. Get your downspouts in order
Are your downspouts directing water far enough away from your home? There's only one way to find out. Ask your contractor when you're having your roof inspected. You could probably do better with downspouts and maybe even utilize some of that rainfall for gray water in the home (ultimately conserving resources and cash flow).
A Simple Guide to Waterproofing House Foundations in 78121
Between fifteen and twenty years ago, most builders thought that spreading asphalt onto a house's foundation was a good enough method of providing waterproofing to the foundation and the home. Then, between ten and fifteen years ago, a person named Owens Corning added a rubber compound to the asphalt to give it more flexibility. Since then, other people have developed other rubber based compounds that hold a greater amount of elasticity than the original rubber and asphalt compounds.
Bentonite is a must when it comes to waterproofing house foundation. Bentonite is a special product made of natural clay that swells when it comes into contact with moisture. When water passes through bentonite on its way to foundation cracks, it breaks off bits of the bentonite clay as it flows which, when it reaches the foundation crack, causes the clay to "fall" into the crack and expand — plugging up the crack and keeping the rest of the moisture out!
When deciding which foundation building company to employ, you will want to make sure that they are properly educated on the use and installation of drain tile. Drain tile is essential to waterproofing house foundations and while there are plenty of contractors and builders who know what it is, few of them know how to properly install it with your foundation. Do your research and make sure that your company knows how to work with drain tile.

The powders are concentrated at a level of 5:1 (i.e. 1 gram of 5:1 Extract Powder is equivalent to 5 grams of raw herb powder). As individual herbs can be quite different in the amount of physical substance they yield during extraction, many do not have the needed substance to form a powder and a carrier such as dextrin or microcrystalline cellulose may be added where necessary. Extract Powders are packaged in sealed plastic bottles.
Please note that 5:1 CONCENTRATED EXTRACT POWDERS consist of the concentrated extract powder only, and are not further processed into tabs, caps, or formulas. 5:1 Concentrated Extract Powders DO NOT include usage information, as they are intended for professional herbalists and those customers who have the experience and knowledge necessary to safely prepare their own formulas.
About Single Herbs
Single Herb Ordering Guidelines
- Chinese Herbs Direct offers Single Raw Herbs in three forms: WHOLE HERBS - consisting of the actual whole, single, raw herb (i.e. fruit, stem, root, flower, mineral, etc.), HERBAL POWDERS - consisting of single raw herbs ground into a powder, and 5:1 CONCENTRATED EXTRACT POWDERS - consisting of whole single herbs and herbal formulas processed into a powder extract that is 5 times more concentrated than raw Herbal Powder.
- Whole Herbs, Herbal Powders and 5:1 Concentrated Extract Powders are offered as a convenience for professional herbalists and those customers who have the experience and knowledge necessary to safely prepare their own formulas. For the vast majority of our customers, we recommend you choose one of our hundreds of prepackaged, traditional formulas available in tabs, caps or teas rather than preparing your own formula using raw herbs. You can search for every formula in our store which contains a particular herb by using our Search Tool. For best results, if the herb name consists of more than one word, you should enclose the entire herb name in quotes when using the Search Tool.
- Unlike the prepared formulas, tabs and teas we sell, our Single Herb products (Whole Herbs, Herbal Powders and 5:1 Concentrated Extract Powders) DO NOT include usage information. Chinese Herbs Direct is unable to provide any guidance on the preparation, usage or usage of Whole Herbs, Herbal Powders and 5:1 Concentrated Extract Powders. For any questions on these items, we ask that you consult a licensed herbalist or health care provider BEFORE you place your order.
- In order to offer the freshest raw herbs possible, we do not maintain a regular inventory of most Whole Herbs, Herbal Powders and 5:1 Concentrated Extract Powders in our warehouse. You should therefore expect to wait an additional 5-7 days (beyond normal delivery times) for your order to be shipped. Available products are updated regularly, but occasionally we may be out of stock of a raw herb product - in which case we will notify you and issue a corresponding credit to your account.
- Whole Herbs, Herbal Powders and 5:1 Concentrated Extract Powders are guaranteed to be fresh and of the highest quality available. However, due to the specialized nature of Single Raw Herbs, we are unable to offer our normal guarantee beyond freshness and quality (i.e. no refunds for ordering the wrong herb, changing your mind, etc.).
About Plum Flower Brand Unsulfured Herbs
Plum Flower follows strict traditional guidelines for the correct preparation of herbs (frying, baking, steaming, etc.) to ensure effectiveness and to decrease the potential for side effects. When preparing herbs in the traditional way, Plum Flower uses updated equipment and procedures to ensure stable and uniform quality. Plum Flower Unsulfured Herbs are more natural in color, texture, and venation and in some cases may look very different than conventional herbs in the marketplace due to their absense of sulfur.
Herb Processing
Most Plum Flower herbs are sterilized with heat or high-pressure alcohol steam. Irradiation or ethylene oxide sterilization is never used. Following sterilization, the herbs are processed and oven-dried. This actually sterilizes the herbs a second time and ensures that herbs are well dried. Herbs that are more delicate or rely on essential oil components for effectiveness are carefully shade or fan dried. Other herbs are best sun-dried. Drier herbs prolong shelf life without preservatives and are lighter, giving you more per pound. To help prevent spoilage Plum Flower also applies Modified Atmospheric Packaging concepts, namely vacuum packing the herbs after drying, then injecting the outer package with harmless nitrogen to further inhibit the growth of aerobic microorganisms and molds.
Herb Quality
Plum Flower Brand herbs are exceptionally clean. The herbs are washed in industrial stainless steel rotating drum cleaners equipped with water jets. This initial wash helps remove dirt and dust, thereby lowering bacteria and heavy metal levels right from the beginning. Herbs are also subject to a very careful grading and sorting system. Most herbs are hand-sorted to make sure there is no extraneous matter, soil, powder, pebbles or dust in the herbs you buy. Plum Flower ships most of its herbs in vacuum packed double bags, further protecting them from damage, insects, dust, and dirt during the shipping process. Plum Flower Brand herbs are carefully monitored for impurities at an in-house lab where it tests for microbial levels and sulfur residues. In addition, outside labs test for DDT and Hexachlorabenzene, two non-permitted pesticides, as well as lead, arsenic, mercury, and cadmium heavy metal levels.
Shelf Life and Freshness
Plum Flower Brand herbs have a shelf life of 24-36 months. In contrast, commercial sulfured herbs can look unchanged 5 to 6 years or longer after purchase, making it difficult to tell how fresh they truly are. The sulfur also acts as bleach, covering bruises and other signs of decay. Without preservatives, our Plum Flower Brand unsulfured herbs naturally reveal their freshness and quality. From the fields to you, Plum Flower makes every effort to provide the cleanest, safest, freshest and highest quality Chinese herbs available today.

We are a fully-prepared team of legal experts, solicitor experts, and barristers, and we can offer highly accurate will-writing services that carry out your wishes to the letter.
We also have a deep understanding of the laws in England and Wales surrounding wills and can use that as a guideline for how to form your new will document.
There are a lot of reasons that a person may decide to produce a will. As will writers, it is our job to understand these reasons and use them to form the basis of each will we construct.
If you have dependent children, then a will can specify exactly what you want to happen to them after your death. This can be important if you want to transfer all the assets you have into supporting them or have a specific caregiver you want to be responsible for them.
If you are not married or in a civil partnership in Frimley, then there is nothing to guarantee that your partner will get your assets after you pass away. This makes it important to get a will prepared so that your partner can get your personal possessions when they otherwise would not.
Wills are the ideal place to put your funeral preferences. No matter how specific your wishes are, it is important to get them down in a document so that your relatives know to actually carry them out.
Without specifying your Frimley funeral plans, there is no guarantee that they will actually happen.
If you own property overseas, then you need to bring that up in your will. Overseas property can be complicated and hard to manage since the laws between countries will likely differ – but a will can give your family a guideline on what they need to do with it.
Sometimes revising your existing will is important. Very few people retain the same will for most of their life, and even a change as simple as another child can require an entirely new document to be drawn up.
This is one of the most important parts of getting a fresh will written since you want to keep your will up to date with your current life circumstances. An outdated will is still your will, and you do not want to give property to friends you have fallen out with or overlook your most recent child.
Our online will writing service make it easy to get a will produced that matches your exact wishes and standards, hitting every legal requirement necessary to keep the will valid. Even if you are just having your original will updated, a professional will-writing service can be a useful tool to have.

Every will is personal and unique, and we promise that we will create a will that perfectly matches with the kind of results and wishes you want to see happen after your passing.
If you want a will made, you can get it the same way anybody else does – approach us and tell us what you are looking for. Our professional help lasts as long as it needs to, and our service involves us picking out every single detail to produce the perfect will for your situation.
It is always best that you use a solicitor or professional team like us. Even if you can write a will document that is technically valid, wills still need to use specific language and wording to remove all doubt, and that means getting a professional service involved to minimize the misunderstandings.
On average, you should expect a regular will to cost between £100 and £150 in total. Mirror wills tend to cost around £250, and trust wills bump that up further to £400.
This cost covers all of the major legal work required in writing a valid will in England and Wales.
Even the smallest mistake could leave your will open to being challenged by a family member, and it takes a lot of time and effort to represent your financial situation properly in the document.
A cheaper will in Frimley can be valid, but it might not offer the finer details that you want from a will document.
It is always better to pay a little more for somebody to write a will that handles your estate with care, and we try to make sure that our services never disappoint a client.
Finding a good will-writing service can seem tough, especially if you need to search your local area for companies that can provide a useful will service. However, it is important to remember that many services – including ours – let a specialist write a will online.
There is no need to use a solicitor in your local area if you can save time, money, property stress, and effort by using an online service. An online solicitor like ours is no different from a solicitor you meet in person, only with less reliance on in-person meetings and scheduled talks.
An online will is just as legal as a regular will. An online solicitor like ours is fully capable of creating a will that accurately represents your property and estate, and each solicitor in our team understands the nuances of creating a good will.
If you die without a will, then your estate is passed on to your spouse or civil partner or divided between your children if you are not in a marriage or civil partnership. If you have no partner or children and no relatives lay claim to your assets and estate, then it passes to the Crown (government).
A will is effectively just a document stating what you want to happen after your death, both to yourself and your estate. The contents of the document will decide how much money family members get, who your own home is given to, and how children and step-children are treated if you were their sole parent/carer.
This is all just an example since a will can contain countless other details. You might leave money to pay for services in Frimley that you have not yet paid off or specify how your permanent home has to be used by your children. It can also include information on who gets your bank accounts, how your body is treated, and any money or gifts you want to leave to charity.
Your will can include anything that is actually legal under UK law. For example, your will might include:
Creating a will provides a lot of important benefits, many of which are almost necessary if you want to support your family after your death. For example:
There are three types of gifts you can include in your Frimley will, all of which are handled slightly differently.
A beneficiary can be an executor of the will. In fact, man executors are beneficiaries – usually multiple per will to prevent them from putting any bias towards themselves into the subject of your gifts.
Wills cover your estate, which is all of your assets. Not owning a home does not change the fact that you have an estate worth giving out, especially not since you might be worth more than you think.
A will is still valuable even with no estate at all. It specifies what happens to your body, enables partners and civil partners to have more flexibility over any assets you do have, and ensures that your funeral arrangements would be approved by any relevant law firm.
We can provide a range of will-writing advice to suit every situation, including ones that involve children you have a parental responsibility over. If you need advice on how to handle children in your will, then just let us know, and we can produce a will that takes them into account.
A large part of creating a will in Frimley is to include your own funeral arrangements. This allows spouses and civil partners to ensure that you get the burial you want, especially if it is unorthodox or requires some complex setup work.
A will won't protect you against care home fees, but it does give you options for avoiding tax. Our experts can adjust your will to ensure that you pay as few extra fees as possible in every situation.
Making a will is extremely important for any relationship, especially if your partner is not a civil partner or spouse. If you are unmarried, your partner may not receive that much from your passing, so you need a will to specify what you are leaving to them.
Tying the knot with a spouse or civil partner means that your existing will is void and that you need to have a new one written. Other than that, you can create a will in the same way as always.
If you do not have the mental capacity to create a will, then it will not be legal in the eyes of the court. This means that creating a will before you succumb to old age or illness can be important since it depends on your mental state at the time of the will's creation.
As long as your will is witnessed correctly in Frimley, ideally by two witnesses, you should not have issues with insurance policies or getting your will approved. Having properly signed and witnessed the will, those two witnesses can vouch for the fact that you wrote it in a state of sound mind.
Making a good will that is recognised as valid and legal in the eyes of the law is important. We can provide quick and easy will-writing services that offer all the right advice and support to keep you on the right track, producing a will that is perfect for your wishes.
We here at Get A Will Written understand how to handle everything from probate services to a will storage service and can ensure that you create the ideal will for your current circumstances. Your estate is important, and we are always prepared to take charge of your will-writing responsibilities to deliver excellent results.
A beneficiary can't witness a will, by law, and neither can their partners or spouses.
You will want to keep your will somewhere safe, whether that is a bank safety deposit box or just a safe place in your home.
A will can be challenged if it does not meet the right legal standards and level of clarity, meaning that it is important to get a legally binding will. Our personal advice is to always make your estate rules clear – we can make sure that your estate preferences are described in clear-easy-to-interpret paragraphs that nobody can challenge.
Undue influence is any situation where a person was pressured into creating a will and adding details they ordinarily would not add. This is often considered a crime and voids the will if discovered.
We are fully regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and the Law Society, meaning that our advice as a solicitor team is approved by the Law Society and entirely trustworthy.
However, many Frimley companies – especially independent freelancers with no real company number, are not regulated or officially approved in any capacity. While they might create a will for cheap, you might discover at a later date that their will is completely void or uselessly vague.
Your debts do not die with you. You will generally need a solicitor to provide advice on what to do with outstanding debts.
Inheritance tax applies if your estate is worth more than £325,000 when you give it away. However, breaking it up as part of funeral gifts will usually bypass the tax. Gifts to registered charity number will also usually be exempt.
You can leave a will whenever you feel like it is necessary. Incapacitated people in Frimley can even choose to have the probate service begin while they are still technically alive and can even include the decision to pull the plug on any life support you may be on.
Always get a solicitor to write your will. While you can do it yourself, the risks of making a mistake writing your own will are too great and can have very far-reaching consequences.
If somebody's estate goes to the crown, a relative can make a case for why it should pass to them instead. Not all of these cases are successful, though.
Living together but not married or in a civil partnership? A 'cohabitation agreement' gives you protection
Cohabitation without being married can give your partner some legal protections, allowing them to inherit in your assets as long as you have been living together long enough.
You can only change parts of a will if everybody affected by it agrees, including those who will be worse off from the changes.
If you want a will written to the highest possible standard of quality, then contact us as soon as you are ready. Whether you want to talk by phone or through a video call, we are standing ready 24/7 (except bank holidays) to serve as your will writer and solicitor team.

Lesson Plans
Contemporary Connections
Related Images
See the photographs related to this lessonUsing the websites below, explore the ways in which photography, art and social media are used to take action on issues of social injustice and advocate for change. Ask students to record the ways in which each organization is documenting injustice and/or atrocities. What are the tools that each organization uses to bring attention to these issues?
Photographers and Social Justice
PhotoSensitive is a non-profit collective whose projects focus on North American issues, including poverty, hunger, illness, racism, ignorance and injustice. But the collective also focuses on the antidotes to these problems: the hope found in the face of adversity, the laughter and love that make the difficulties of life tolerable, and the simple pleasures that lighten dark lives. PhotoSensitive's photographers use the camera to tell stories, make social comments and spur viewers to action.
World Press Photo is committed to supporting and advancing high standards in photojournalism and documentary photography worldwide. We believe in the power of visual journalism to inspire and shape us.
Artists and Social Justice
Ai WeiWei is a Chinese artist and activist who has been very critical of the Chinese government's policies on democracy and human rights.
Brian Jungen is a Canadian artist of Swiss and Dunne-za heritage who has risen to prominence over the last decade by creating artwork that repurposes objects from contemporary culture - including plastic lawn chairs, golf bags and Nike Air Jordans - to reflect Aboriginal symbols and traditions.
Using Social Media - The Sentinel Project
While governments with the power to stop genocide and save lives have stood by and done nothing in the past, civil society - ordinary people and non-governmental organizations - can still make a difference. Since genocide can be prevented by acting before it begins, the Sentinel Project is working to make this pre-emptive action possible through the creation of an early-warning system and cooperation with threatened communities and other anti-genocide organizations.
Read the interview with Chris Tuckwood of the Sentinel Project and identify the challenges and triumphs that he and his organization have experienced. What tools did Tuckwood use to overcome the obstacles he faced and begin to create change?
Creating a Toolbox for Change
Studying difficult histories can be challenging, as students can feel overwhelmed and powerless in the face of injustice. It is important that students are taken safely in and out of these experiences with the knowledge that their choices matter and they have the ability to take action to create change. A great way to start thinking about this process is by creating a Toolbox for Change. The types of tools that each of us requires will vary depending on individual needs and the issue at hand. For example, I might put a coin in my toolbox to represent the fact that I need funding to run a successful project. Alternatively, I might put a drawing of a heart in my toolbox to show that I need to empathize with and strive to understand others in order to create meaningful change. The possibility for different types of tools is endless; this will demonstrate that there are many ways to create change.
Ask students to consider all the tools that have been used by the different individuals and organizations. Then ask them to consider an issue they are passionate about and think about what tools they need to create change. Hand out sticky notes to all students and have them each write down one tool for their Toolbox for Change. Students should come up one by one and post their sticky notes on the wall. As they post their notes on the wall, students may briefly describe the tools they selected and why they selected them.
All over the world, individuals are documenting issues that their communities are facing. We encounter this documentation in many different places: on Facebook, through Twitter, on Instagram, on TV, in newspapers, in books, in theatre and in visual art. As witnesses or recipients of this information, what is our responsibility to act, and what can we do once we have this information?
Additional Resources
Chris Tuckwood, Executive Director of the Sentinel Project.
How would you describe the goals or mandate of the Sentinel Project?
Our mission is to assist communities threatened by mass atrocities around the world. There are two important pillars to this mission. First, we emphasize working on the ground, cooperating with the people in harm's way. Second, we use innovative technology to achieve our mission whenever possible.
What inspired you to start the Sentinel Project?
I was 16 years old when I first learned about the Rwandan genocide from a documentary on television. Something about it really resonated with me and I decided to devote my life to stopping things like that from happening again. Of course, I didn't know how to achieve that when I first started out, but I educated myself a lot about genocide. When I got to university, I had an opportunity to become a student leader in the movement to stop the genocide in Darfur. We were very successful on our own campus, but I wanted to have a more direct way of helping people in danger on the other side of the world. That's where the idea of predicting and preventing atrocities using the modern tools available to us started and grew into the Sentinel Project.
In the work that you do, what resources or tools have you found to be the most helpful?
Definitely people – and I'm not just saying that because it sounds like a good thing to say. If I go back to the two pillars of our mission that I mentioned earlier, they are both really important, but that community cooperation on the ground with people whose lives are threatened really makes our mission happen. There are lots of cool things we use, like drones, satellite imagery and networks of people gathering information with mobile phones. But those technologies are tools, and if there's nobody to use them, we're not going to succeed. Technology enables us to do most things more effectively, but at the end of the day, it's people who save lives, whether they're our volunteers here in Toronto, our staff on the ground, or community members working with us to prevent atrocities.
What obstacles and challenges have you faced? Think of one you were able to overcome and describe how you succeeded in overcoming it.
The biggest obstacle we've faced in our history so far has definitely been related to finding funding for our work. The fact is that people make things happen, but money helps them do that in a big way. We really struggled with this early on, since we started the organization from nothing and had basically no money. Ultimately, solving that problem came down to a few different things: persistence, catching people's attention with our important work and taking some risks. If we had quit early on, we wouldn't be where we are now, doing this important work. At the same time, if a few of us hadn't been willing to take the leap and invest our own personal money to fund some of our first fieldwork in Kenya, then we would never have caught the attention of funders to do really impactful work in the field. It all came down those three things: persistence, an important cause and taking a risk.
Describe the process or steps you went through to develop a particular project and see it through to a successful conclusion.
The fieldwork I just mentioned is the best example, since Kenya (where I'm travelling to as I write this) is home to our flagship Una Hakika project right now. A couple of years ago, there were a series of interethnic massacres in a part of Kenya called the Tana Delta, where violence like this is common. It got a little bit of attention in the international media, but we wanted to see behind the headlines and learn about how and why it happened. That's when a couple of us booked flights to Kenya, rented a car and drove out to the conflict zone to talk to people and learn from them. We didn't go in with any solutions in mind; we really just wanted to better understand the problem and then see what we could do.
Ultimately, this inspired the idea for Una Hakika, which is a mobile phone–based information service that monitors and counters the spread of incendiary rumours that contribute to the atmosphere of fear, distrust and hatred in the Tana Delta. Now, when people there hear a rumour that another ethnic group is planning to attack them, they can use a reliable source of information to investigate it for them rather than reacting right away. They can ask "Una hakika?" – "Are you sure?" in Swahili – and come to us. The project is at an early stage but has been really successful so far and we have big plans for it throughout Kenya and even in other countries.
That process we followed in the Tana Delta has served us well: recognizing a crisis and going to gather information with open minds rather than having preconceived notions and bringing in outside solutions that might not fix the problem. Now we do the same thing everywhere we operate – it's an essential part of that community cooperation that we emphasize.
What do you think would be a good first step for someone in high school who wants to make a difference?
When you're young, it can seem daunting to be faced with a big problem that you want to solve, especially if it's one with global importance. However, the fact is that those problems seem daunting at any age, so it's never too early to start doing something. Lots of impressive things are achieved by people both young and old. And doing something also doesn't mean you have to run out and start an organization right away – though, if you want to do that, then go for it, because ambition goes a long way.
The first step, no matter what, should be self-education about whatever issue it is that you care about. Starting with self-education about genocide when I was high school meant that by the time I got to university and then out into the so-called real world, I already had a lot of expertise on the topic and was confident and comfortable taking a leadership role and talking about it with anyone. Self-education also reinforces the fact that learning does not begin and end with the classroom. Gaining knowledge is within your power, and if self-education is the first step in making the difference you want, it's going to help you figure out all the steps after that.
