The food is great. Me and my husband bring our daughter all the time. Staff is very friendly. Price is right.

It's so annoying when you want a place to be good and it's not! We could really use a good Thai restaurant in the hood. Went here for lunch and it was a poor experience. The food in our plates I'm sure was recycled and or old. They add tip in the bill without warning and it's overpriced and I'm sure the chef is not from Thailand.

we were there for the first time last night. it's a small place, but very friendly staff and the food was excellent. some may consider the restaurant pricey, but we felt it was priced fairly for what we got. the ingredients were fresh, the food was tasty, and the portions were a nice size. we shared two apps - beef satay (very good) and potstickers (good, but not enough filling), and then shared two entrees (of which we took half home): mango chicken and pineapple chicken. there was a generous amount of chicken in each dish and both were excellent. the pineapple chicken can be as spicy as you like it - i had medium, and it was perfectly cooked. we very much enjoyed our dinner and highly recommend this restaurant.

The food is quite overpriced for the value you are getting.. they use dark chewy meat for the satay! I shared pineapple rice with my daughter (oh by the way, the restaurant is not family friendly and very small), tasty but it came in a pineapple which I am sure was reused. The staff was nice and helpful, but you need to flag them every time you need something-- I don't think I will be going here again

Fantastic food, excellent service a great place for a date.
Posted by Joe on 07/30/2009
Never had thai food when I first went there last year, but thought this place was great. Nice cozy setting very friendly staff, and the most important the food was very good. I thought the Malaysian short ribs were great and mango shrimp is really good too. As an app. try the calamari, different twist, but really good! Cocktails good too!

Granville County Teen Court begins new year of sessions
OXFORD — Teen Court, an option for youth to make amends and avoid a criminal record, is about to get under way in Granville County for the new year.
Initiated in 2009 in Granville County, the sessions are held on the second and fourth Tuesdays at 6 p.m. at the county court house.
Charissa Puryear, coordinator for juvenile community service and restitution at the N.C. Cooperative Extension Granville County Center, coordinates the program. But she assured, it's the adult and youth volunteers that make the program work.
"We're always looking for volunteers," Puryear said. "Youth volunteers fill all the roles: attorneys, jury, bailiff, clerk of court."
They learn about the judicial system. The experience can be counted as community service to meet high school graduation requirements and is a valuable addition on college applications
The only adult actively involved in a court case is the judge, an actual judge or attorney.
Attorney and former District Court Judge Quon Bridges regularly fills the role of judge.
"He was instrumental in helping start the program," Puryear said.
The program gives teenagers who have committed a misdemeanor the option of appearing in Teen Court rather than juvenile court. If they carry out the sentences decided by Teen Court, their offenses do not go on their records.
"These are real cases," Bridges said. "They may have gotten into a fight at school. A teacher or law enforcement refers them to Teen Court. The young person is represented by a teenager as his defense attorney. The jury is made up of his peers.
"It's a learning process, not only for the ones who are charged, but for all the young people involved."
Adult volunteers monitor the jury and conduct exit interviews with the youth and their parents.
"They are the connection between the program and the family," Puryear said.
Nancy Pifer has volunteered for a number of jobs in the program.
"I've been a jury monitor," she said. "We can't tell them what to do, but we help them stay focused.
"I also follow up with the students where they go to school to see if there's anything they need and especially that they're not getting into any more trouble," she added. "I have a one-on-one. 'How are you doing?' Maybe they're having trouble getting their community service and school work done."
She said even the young people who got in trouble seem to enjoy it.
"It gives them some direction," Pifer said.
This seems to be true, both for young people working as volunteers and defendants being tried in Teen Court.
Judia Watson, 18, was one of the youth volunteers. She began participating in Teen Court in the eighth grade and continued until she graduated from J.F. Webb High School.
"I worked first as a defense attorney and then became a permanent prosecuting attorney," she recalled.
She said the severity of the sentences handed out by the Teen Court juries depended on many factors.
"The most we've ever given was where there were multiple charges and multiple sanctions," Watson said. "It was like 50 hours of community service and $200."
Watson is now a freshman at Western Carolina University, where she will major in criminal justice. She plans to go to law school. Teen Court turned her in that direction.
"This is what I want to do for the rest of my life," she said.
Teen Court also has an impact on the young people who are tried and sentenced.
A 19-year-old, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said he elected to go to Teen Court when he was charged with possession of a weapon on school grounds. His troubles with the law were just part of the difficulties he was experiencing. He also said he had been kicked out of his home before Puryear called.
He eventually received 18 hours of community service as a sentence, delivered meals to the elderly and did some yard work at community centers.
He said he got a second chance, and will soon be graduating from high school.

Voice of the People
Voice your opinion with your vote
On April 28 the West Virginia AFL-CIO held the 25th annual observance of Workers Memorial Day at Willow Island, W.Va. Kenny Perdue and Josh Sword arranged for a very beautiful and moving ceremony.
The backdrop was the massive cooling tower where 51 workers fell to their death in 1978 when the scaffolding collapsed. A wreath was placed and the bell tolled for those workers and the 22 workers lost from workplace fatalities in West Virginia during 2012.
The theme for this year's ceremony was "Mourn for the dead and fight for the living," an adaptation of the Mother Jones quote.
The Rev. Dennis Sparks admonished us to accept the things we could not change, change the things we can and have the wisdom to know the difference.
My thoughts afterward went to the recent legislative session and House Bill 2354, which would require workers on state projects to complete the OSHA 10-hour safety training. Of course, in our area Delegates Carol Miller and Kelli Sobonya voted against the bill and the Chamber of Commerce and Contractors Association wrote letters to your paper praising them for their vote.
Well I accept that I can never change Carol, Kelli or the corporate greed that supports them, but I can change who holds those seats in the House by voting against them.
I hope your readers have the wisdom to do the same.

Where did 'blue' appearance theme go?
Hi all, I'm a new MBP user. Love it so far. When I accepted the update to OS 10:6 after getting up and running, the 'blue' option in System Pref/Appearance doesn't seem to turn the top menu bar blue anymore - both ' and 'graphite' options leave it the same color - but when I click 'graphite' the radio buttons are no longer colored but just grey. Is this normal. I thought before the upgrade (when it was just 10.6) the blue choice worked.
Any advice would be appreciated.
The bar its self does not turn blue, nor does the apple (even though it used to). When you click an option in the bar, lets say file, the 'file' button will turn blue, as well as any other options in the menu you hover over. The close/minimize/maximize buttons will also have colour, compared to the graphite setting where everything will be grey.
Hope this helps
Thanks ... I just wanted to make sure I didn't mess something up!
no problem :)

The fabrication of new functional optoelectronic devices
Until now, we have studied flexible non-volatile organic bistable devices by using a hybrid polymer-CdSe/ZnS quantum-dot (QD) system. In a recent article published in Nanotechnology by D I Son et al., more has been researched about the organic bistable device (OBD) structure and its physical mechanism.
We thoroughly compared the differences between LED and OBD structures, by dispersing CdSe/ZnS QDs with organic materials. Through very careful transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies, we showed that CdSe/ZnS QDs are located at the surface of PVK polymer particles in the OBD device, and they are distributed over the interface of PVK and TPBi, as well as the surface of TPBi, in the LED device in this single active-layer scheme. This was as expected. It was also revealed that the OBD functionality can be converted into the LED, just by inserting an electron transporting layer (ETL) and controlling the band-gap dependence on the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) level of the ETL side.
Because this hybrid polymer–QD dual-function device can be demonstrated as a combined form of electrical bistability for the non-volatile memory function and QD LED for the electroluminescent displays, we could also expect that the fabrication of hybrid OBD and LED devices will present a united one-board type of display and memory device in the near future.
Through our lab-fabrication process, each functional device is fabricated with a single active-layer structure, on both sides of a common glass substrate under ambient conditions. In a single active layer where inorganic semiconductor QDs are uniformly embedded in polymer nanoparticles, the electrical bistability and the electroluminescence mechanism are carefully investigated with the detailed physical explanation about the energy-level realignment of constituent nanocomposite materials.
Our interesting results about the CdSe/ZnS QD-based dual-function devices with simple and easy fabrication approaches by using a conventional spin-coating method, show the strong possibilities of future transparent optoelectronic devices based on hybrid polymer–QD systems.

If a friend with cancer dies, you may wonder about attending the funeral or memorial service. Should you go or not go? There is certainly no one answer that fits everyone and every situation. It may be helpful to think about the reasons we have funerals:
If you are considering attending a funeral or memorial service, there are often several options or activities to attend. You may want to attend all of them, some of them, or none of them, and some of them may be open only to the family:
Gathering after the services, which may include refreshments or a meal. This may be in a home or in a religious or community building.
Some people find it very important to attend the funeral. Although it can be sad and upsetting, these people feel better in the long run because they went. For these people, being a part of the service helps them feel closer to the person who died, and closer to the family and friends of the person. Some would say that they "need" to go.
Other people do not find attending the funeral or memorial service very helpful. These people will need to look for other ways to feel close to the person who died, and other ways to feel close to the person's family or friends. If the body will be present at the service, seeing the body would not be helpful for some of these people. For them, mourning may be done in a more private way.
If you have had a friend die and you're not sure whether or not you want to attend the funeral, find someone who knows about funerals and talk with that person. There are many ways to honor and remember a friend who has died, and attending a funeral may be a good way, but it's not the only way.
If you have had a good friend die with cancer, that then means that your friend had a good friend, too--that's you! Your friendship was a great gift that you gave to someone who needed a friend, and you helped to make your friend's last days better than they would have been without you. Your friend may not have been able to say "thank you," so we'll say it here: "Thank you for giving the gift of friendship to a young person with cancer. No matter what happens or happened, it is a gift that will not be forgotten."

In Between
We both have realized how cool it is that we are, for the most part, able to get up and go whenever the time comes. Homeschooling is able to go with us wherever we choose to go, with no concerns for school calendars or holidays. That's nice.
And I don't even know that our next step will require moving. Maybe it will just be that we will be doing something different right here where we are. So we pray. And wait.
And in the meantime...what does God want from us?
To trust and to walk with Him. Because we believe that He determines our steps.
5 comments:
You know, you sound at such peace while being in between. That's because you are in the Lord's will, I am sure. I can't imagine being in between and not belong to Him, not have Him as my Savior, the one who determines my steps. What a frightening place that would be.ReplyDelete
Praying you will continue to be patient and seek His will.
What an excellent perspective! I know so many who are so concerned about what God has for them in the future that they forget to live in the "between"... but you won't ever get to the future, that way! The most important thing to seek is the Lord Himself.ReplyDelete
I too am in this stage but just beginning to find peace with where we are. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
What a sweet place of true joy that it is to know that all the Lord brings to you in this time is perfectly fashioned for you. I'll be excited to hear what happens next.ReplyDelete
Living inbetween is very difficult, but you learn much. Blessings to you on your journey, Brenda. =)ReplyDelete
I don't get to talk to a lot of actual grown-ups during the day, so your comments make me really happy! :)

By a vote of 20 to 11 in the Senate and 97 to 53 in the House on Saturday evening, Texas lawmakers passed a 2012-2013 budget that makes deep, unnecessary cuts in public education, higher education, health care, and other basic public services. With more than $6 billion available in the Rainy Day Fund, the legislative majorities chose to leave that money untouched rather than use it as intended to keep a short-term funding shortfall from causing long-term damage. They also chose not to address the state's rickety tax structure, which (thanks to deliberate decisions going back to 2006 and beyond) does not generate the revenue needed to pay for public schools as promised.
The adverse impact of these decisions will be felt in many ways. School districts will receive $4 billion less in state aid, a cut of about $400 a year per pupil, than current law would require in the coming biennium. Another $1 billion plus will disappear for such valuable programs as the state's grant program for high-quality, full-day pre-kindergarten, which is entirely eliminated. Almost entirely gone is state funding for students at risk of failing high-stakes tests—the so-called Student Success Initiative. For the first time in living memory, the state under this budget betrays its commitment to fund the cost of enrollment growth of 80,000-plus pupils per year. The cumulative impact of all these cuts easily could translate into the loss of 40,000 or more jobs in public education.
The budget passed Saturday chops more than $1 billion from higher education, including a cut in student financial aid that will leave as many as 43,000 college students empty-handed. The bill reduces spending on health care as well, to the detriment of elderly and disabled Texans in particular. Overall, this budget shrinks state spending $15 billion below the 2010-2011 level.
Sen. Steve Ogden, Republican of Bryan and the principal Senate author of this bill, claimed that it fulfills the desire of voters for a no-new-taxes budget. But the budget in large part simply shifts costs to the local level or to the next biennium. As Ogden acknowledged, school districts now may well have to seek local tax-rate increases in order to avoid damaging layoffs and program cuts. He also conceded (as did his House counterpart, Republican Rep. Jim Pitts of Waxahachie) that the budget deliberately underestimates the cost of Medicaid by a whopping $4.8 billion, and the legislature will have to come up with that money or drastically curtail benefits in 2013.
Over the coming week we will catalogue in detail the damage this budget would do. Here we will give the last word to Sen. Rodney Ellis, Democrat of Houston (who noted that Texas already ranked 44th among the states in per-pupil funding before this budget and 49th in percentage of high-school graduates). Said Ellis: "I speak against this budget because we can do better."
All those legislators who stood up to be counted against this bad budget bill deserve acknowledgment. In the House, that means 48 out of 49 Democrats (all except Rep. Craig Eiland of Galveston) and five of the 101 Republicans (Will Hartnett of Dallas, Aaron Pena of Edinburg, David Simpson of Longview, Van Taylor of Plano, Raul Torres of Corpus Christi). In the Senate, the honor roll includes 11 of the 12 Democrats—every member of the Democratic Senate caucus except Sen. Juan Hinojosa, Democrat of Corpus Christi. Not one of the Senate's 19 Republicans voted against this awful budget.

Professor's New Book Caught in a "Social Media Tsunami"
Rodger Streitmatter's new book is his eighth, so he's no novice when it comes to the publishing world. Even so, he's still reeling from the attention the book is getting thanks to what he calls a "social media tsunami"—including more than 1,500 comments on a popular website.
"It started when my publisher e-mailed me that Huffington Post wanted to run a slide show about my book," says Streitmatter, a professor in the School of Communication. "That was the good news. Then came the bad news: They wanted the material in two hours."
Streitmatter immediately recruited his husband, Tom Grooms, to help him. "The folks at HuffPost sent me four samples to show me the kind of introduction they wanted me to write," Streitmatter says. "But I didn't have time to read them because I had to pick the eight photos to send them for the slide show, plus write the captions. So Tom read the sample intros for me."
The book is Outlaw Marriages ~ The Hidden Histories of Fifteen Extraordinary Same-Sex Couples, and each chapter tells the story of a different couple from the past. Many of the couples are made up of one famous person and a partner who previously hasn't gotten much public attention.
Among the high-profile couples are poet Walt Whitman and his partner Peter Doyle, actress Greta Garbo and her partner Mercedes de Acosta, and author James Baldwin and his partner Lucien Happersberger.
Streitmatter met the HuffPost deadline, and then the tsunami began. As a journalism professor, he knew that one of the keys to getting noticed on a site like HuffPost is having an attention-grabbing headline, and the one above his slide show clearly did the trick: "8 Legendary Same-Sex Couples."
Many of the comments were complimentary of the book, such as, "Very cool! We need more of this kind of American history!"
Other readers used the slide show as a jumping off point to speak in support of same-sex marriage. Streitmatter's favorite: "All great and legendary people who—shock—did not destroy the fabric of America, but helped build it. Thanks for the tribute."
It isn't just the 1,500 plus comments that are giving Outlaw Marriages its buzz.
Streitmatter isn't sure exactly how many other websites re-posted either the entire slide show or parts of it. He lost count after 230. Also, he started getting lots of requests for interviews.
The biggest publication to run a story about the book is the. With a daily circulation of 2 million, that paper is the second largest one in the United Kingdom.
"They put the story on the front page and ran a bunch of photos with it," Streitmatter says. "So my publisher was pretty much doing cartwheels after that."
Streitmatter's biggest thrill about his recent experience with social media isn't with the publicity this book has gotten but with the crowdsourcing aspect of the phenomenon.
That is, a number of the comments on the slide show suggested other pairs of same-sex couples that readers thought Streitmatter should research. Among them: novelist Willa Cather and her partner Edith Lewis, anthropologists Margaret Mead and Ruth Benedict, and counterculture poet Allen Ginsberg and his partner Peter Orlovsky.
"By the end of the summer," Streitmatter says, "I'm hoping to get started on Outlaw Marriages Two."

STARKVILLE, Miss.--A Mississippi State program founded in 1998 continues its support and research efforts to boost the academic success of freshmen enrolled at the university.
Called Pathfinder, the project provides detailed data about qualities that contribute to classroom success, as well as the reasons students select Mississippi State and continue their studies after their freshman year.
In its annual survey of nearly 1,000 MSU students, the program also identifies behaviors--especially academic--that may affect their well-being. Gauging such behaviors as smoking, alcohol consumption and seatbelt use, the survey often detects some surprising trends.
The No. 1 predictor of academic success for freshmen continues to be regular class attendance, said David McMillen, a research fellow at MSU's nationally recognized Social Science Research Center and founder of the project.
"With the help of faculty members, we identify freshmen who miss two or more classes, and contact them personally," he explained. "We want students to know how significant class attendance is and that instructors are concerned when a student misses class."
Since the program began, the low-key approach has played a role in increasing the academic success of freshmen, their decision to stay in school and their chances of graduating.
"We have eight-year data to show there is, in general, a full grade-point difference between those who go to class and those who have attendance problems," McMillen said. That translates, as an example, into a 1.7 grade-point average for those with attendance problems versus 2.7 out of a maximum 4.0 for those who regularly attend class.
In the recently completed 2005 Pathfinder survey, research scientists also asked about a range of behaviors. "We're trying to quantify factors affecting retention, grades and, ultimately, graduation," McMillen explained. "The results have implications for both student academics and health."
Initially, Pathfinder surveys found that most demographic variables appear to have little influence on grades. For those MSU freshmen who began their studies in 1998 and graduated in 2005, however, the survey report indicated "wildly significant" differences in grade-point averages, freshman-to-sophomore year retention and graduation rates among those who said they smoked, as well as those who refuse to use seatbelts.
McMillen said that, in terms of freshman GPA:
--Students identifying themselves as smokers had an average 2.33 grade point, compared with 2.79 for nonsmokers;
--Some 86 percent of freshmen who didn't smoke continued at Mississippi State in their sophomore year, compared to 67 percent who did smoke; and
--While more than 60 percent of nonsmokers in this group went on to graduate, only 41 percent of smokers received their diplomas.
Similar results were reported for those who do and do not wear seatbelts.
"A great difference in grades is identified in these behaviors," McMillen said, noting that the data can help guide programs that emphasize social responsibilities and individual behaviors, as well as health.
Those messages are consistent with the Pathfinder goal of encouraging students to be self-directed and personally responsible in their studies, said Ty Abernathy of the University Academic Advising Center. An SSRC research associate, he operates the Pathfinder intervention with the help of residence hall assistants in the Division of Student Affairs and its Office of Housing and Residence Life.
"By making individual contact with students who have attendance problems, we give our university a human face," Abernathy said. "While we talk to students about attendance problems, we encourage them to talk about any other issues affecting their schoolwork.
"They're left with the knowledge that at Mississippi State, people care about them as an individual."
That sentiment also is consistent with survey data. In the section that asked why they selected Mississippi State, students most often cited the friendliness of the campus community, followed by academic offerings.

Let the Journey Begin…
It has been quite some time now since we last updated so we thought we would take a quick break from our busy lives these days and fill you in on where we feel the Lord has been leading us.
For what has been the past 10 years, Jesse and I have tossed around the idea of possibly adopting. Well these last few years in particular the Lord has been pressing that thought more and more on our hearts. We have felt the knock becoming louder and louder and thought it time we stop ignoring it and open the door.
So as of a few weeks ago, the first set of papers (which will soon be many I am sure) arrived at our house for us to begin the home study process which is the first step towards adoption. We have started talking with the kids about what adoption is, what it means, how the Lord has adopted us as his sons and daughters, and it has really been such a neat process so far. And we have only just begun!
There is a long road ahead of us, and from what we hear that most often times involves waiting. We ask that you would pray with us! We are trusting God for a lot of unknowns in this process but are so excited to see what He is going to do! We'll try and keep you updated as we go.

P2P digital currency
Bitcoin is a digital currency, a protocol, and open-source software and enables instant worldwide peer to peer transactions for little or no processing fees and no risk of chargebacks or fraud while being immune to seizure or confiscation.
As an open-source software it means all users have access to all of the source code all of the time. Bitcoin uses peer to peer technology to operate with no central authority; managing transactions and issuing Bitcoins are carried out collectively by the network. Through many of its unique properties, Bitcoin allows exciting uses that could not be covered by any previous payment systems.
Bitcoin was released in January 2009 by unknown actor(s) under the psuedonym Satoshi Nakamoto. It is supported by a vibrant economy of developers, exchanges, businesses and users and reached a $2.5B market cap in April 2013.
Cryptography is well established and a fundamental technology used in online banking. But unlike fiat currency with central banks and online banking; Bitcoin has been able to construct a currency and payment network with open-source software using heavily peer reviewed cryptographic ciphers that removes the need to trust a central authority.
Consequently, many people trust Bitcoin because it requires absolutely no trust of any third party.

Internet users have been shocked by a video of a three-year-old boy riding a backyard roller coaster built by his parents. The video, which was uploaded to YouTube in February, shows the boy playing on the roller coaster while his father, Jon Cain, supervises.
The couple from Lancaster, Ohio built the roller coaster on a whim in 2009, the boy's mother, Natasha Cain, told Yahoo News.
We thought, 'Why not? Let's make one.'
The 12-foot-high roller coaster was constructed using PVC tubing and concrete.
The project took three weeks and $700 to build, Cain said.
'We thought it would cost about $300,' she said. 'But you can't have a half-built roller coaster.'
She added that they cleared the coaster-construction plan with the city's board first. "They said, 'Go ahead, build it.'

Domains of expertise related to:
Conidia offers you its expertise to identify harmful moulds and fungi of industrial interest.
Your process will take you into contact with mould: they are industrially useful or harmful. Interest to identify mould is multiple:
Our method is based on a combination of two techniques: molecular biology coupled up with macro and microscopic observations. We have developed our own database: FungiDNA. It is full of hundreds of species and regularly supplemented by the addition of information (DNA sequences but also photos). Validation of identification is made by comparing the sequences with FungiDNA, international databases (eg NCBI) and visual inspection. Conidia then synthesizes this information in a report illustrated with photographs microscopic and macroscopic. The result: rapid identification, reliable and relevant.
Our services may include a thorough study of fungi, such as proteolytic capability (protein degradation), the lipolytic capacity (degradation of lipids, fats), the genetic profile identification of several target gene sequences to identify the fungus with certainty through genetic probes, and / or bioenzymatic profile to know the degradation potential of studied moulds.
Furthermore, Conidia has a R & D department to develop specific approaches (molecular biology) to detect the fungi of interest. So you can have a method adapted to highlight quickly the mould of interest or inconvenient for your industrial process.
Conidia developed a method based on molecular biology for a manufacturer to know the degree of contamination of its raw material, before proceeding to manufacture the product. With this method, developed specifically, the industrial company reduces greatly production losses due to contaminated raw material.
In hospital, following an audit on site, identification of mould present in the samples, allowed to identify pathogenic fungi for immunocompromised persons whose immune capacity is diminished. These moulds have been confined to prevent their proliferation.
The identification and monitoring of mould on various points of a chain of production has helped to highlight the origin of the contamination. Thus, the industry could take the right decision to eliminate contamination.

If you fail to reconfirm you may be refused permission to board the aircraft and you are unlikely to receive any refund.

This applies mainly to low cost airline bookings made via our website. At the time of booking, we will inform you if we are acting in that capacity. In relation to such bookings, you appoint us to source those services on your behalf. Monies paid to us for such services are held by us on your behalf until they are paid to the flight provider in question. Please note that payment by you to us does not constitute payment to the travel service provider whose services we have sourced and if we collect monies from the travel service provider on your behalf, the travel service provider`s liability to pay that money to you is discharged. We accept no liability in relation to any contract you enter into or for any low cost flight services or the acts or omissions of any flight supplier(s). For all `no frills` flight arrangements, your contract will be with the supplier(s) in question. Your booking for `no frills` flights is subject to this clause and the specific booking conditions of the relevant supplier(s) we source for you and you are advised to read both carefully prior to booking. By making a booking for which we are acting as your agent, you agree to the terms of this clause.
Your contract is with the supplier and its booking conditions apply. As agent, we accept no responsibility for the actual provision of the arrangements. Our responsibilities are limited to making the booking in accordance with your instructions. We accept no responsibility for any information about the arrangements that we pass on to you in good faith. However, in the event that we are found liable to you on any basis whatsoever, our maximum liability to you is limited to twice the cost of your booking (or the appropriate proportion of this if not everyone on the booking is affected). We do not exclude or limit any liability for death or personal injury that arises as a result of our negligence or that of any of our employees whilst acting in the course of their employment.
Flight Plus Bookings
Booking a Flight-Plus provides you with protection under our ATOL in the event of supplier insolvency, but we are still acting as agent for the individual suppliers and a Flight-Plus booking does not constitute a Package.
We have arranged ATOL protection for our Flight-Plus holidays. A Flight-Plus is where you purchase through us, at the same time or within a day of each other, a flight plus overseas accommodation and/or car hire from separate suppliers (i.e. not a package holiday). When you make a Flight-Plus booking through we will give you an ATOL Certificate showing what is financially protected, where you can get information on what this means for you and who to contact if things go wrong. On all Flight Plus holiday arrangements, your money is ATOL protected meaning that you will be able to continue with your holiday or receive a refund of the amount paid to us in the unlikely event of our insolvency or the insolvency of your service providers. Please note however that we have no liability beyond that for insolvency as set out in the ATOL scheme, because we act as agent of the suppliers.
An ATOL Protection Contribution of £2.50 per passenger is payable to the CAA on Flight-Plus bookings and this will be reflected on your booking summary as a charge for "Flight Plus".
For more details as to when a Flight-Plus exists and the protection provided under the ATOL scheme please see www.caa.co.uk.
Cancellation And Amendment
Any cancellation or amendment request must be sent to us in writing and will not take effect until received by us. If you cancel or amend your booking the principal(s) or supplier(s) may charge the cancellation or amendment charge shown in their Terms and Conditions (which may be 100% of the cost of the travel arrangements) and you must pay us the cancellation or amendment charge stated below.
Cancellation And Amendment By The Supplier
We will inform you of any changes or cancellations as soon as reasonably possible. If the supplier offers alternative arrangements or a refund, you will need to let us know your choice within the time frame we stipulate. If you fail to do so the supplier is entitled to assume you wish to receive a full refund. We accept no liability for any changes or cancellations made to your arrangements by the supplier under your contract with them.

Further information on the Code and arbitration can be found at www.abta.com and see also clauses below.
Payment Terms
When you make your booking, you must pay a deposit, which will be advised at the time of booking. Some airlines require full payment at the time of booking if this is so you will be advised that no changes or refunds will be allowed to your booking. The balance of the price of your travel arrangements should be received by us at least 12 weeks before your departure date. Some of our third party suppliers take their payments earlier than 12 weeks prior to travel if this is so you will be advised of this on your confirmation. If the deposit and/or balance is not paid in time we have the right to cancel your travel arrangements. If the balance is not paid in time we shall retain your deposit. We do reserve the right to amend our prices at any time before you book your holiday. All prices advertised are subject to availability.
Price Pledge
The price of your holiday will not be subjected to any surcharges except for those resulting from increases in dues, taxes or fees chargeable for services such as landing taxes at airports. Should this arise, we will absorb an amount equivalent to 2% of the holiday price (excluding any amendment charges or insurance premiums). Only amounts over and above 2% will be passed on. In the unlikely event of the surcharge exceeding 10% of the holiday price, after absorption of the 2% referred to above, you have the right to cancel within 14 days of the issue date printed on the surcharge invoice and be reimbursed any monies paid towards the holiday price, excluding any amendment charges or insurance premiums, or the option of accepting a change to another holiday if we are able to offer one (if this is of equivalent or higher quality you will not have to pay more but if it is of lower quality you will be refunded the difference in price). No surcharge will in any case be levied less than 30 days before the date of departure. Should the price of your holiday go down due to the changes mentioned above, by more than 2% of your holiday cost, then any refund due will be paid to you.
Cancellation (By You)
Should you choose to cancel your booking then intimation must be made to us in writing and the cancellation will be effective from the date of receipt. The cancellation charges are as follows:
|More than 84 days
|Deposit + Insurance Premiums + Any cancellation charges made by Suppliers
|83 - 0 days
|Cancellation charges imposed by Stewart Travel will reflect
the amount of losses incurred and which can be recoverable in law
No refunds will be made in the event of interruption or cancellation by the Passenger after the start of travel. In the event of cancellation or curtailment of your holiday by the hotel or golf provider and the hotel or golf provider has offered the Passenger a refund, the Operator shall only be obliged to pay the passenger when the operator has received payment from the relative hotel or golf provider and the Passenger hereby agrees to this condition. We regret that no refund can be considered until all travel documentation has been returned to us. Note: If the reason for your cancellation is covered under the terms of your insurance policy, you may be able to reclaim these charges.
Cancellation (By Us)
At any time whether prior to or after the commencement of the holiday the Operator may cancel in writing to the passenger, if it reasonably considers that such a course is justified on operational or other reasonable grounds. If cancellation is by reason of force majeure which shall include (but not be limited to) war or the threat of war, riots, civil commotions, disasters, acts of God, terrorist activities, natural and nuclear disasters, fire, unavoidable technical problems with transport, closure of ports, strikes or other industrial action or any other event outside the control of the Operator or any of its suppliers, there shall be no compensation payable to the Passenger. If the holiday has commenced then the Operator`s supplier will provide the passenger with transportation to the place of the departure. In the case of total cancellation the Passenger will be offered the choice of: (a) A full refund of money paid (b) An alternative holiday of equivalent or superior quality at no extra cost to the passenger (c) An alternative holiday of lower quality with a refund of the difference in the advertised price. We of course will be available to assist you, by telephone, fax or email should any of the above events occur.
Amendment (By You)
Should you choose to amend your booking at any time we will try to be of assistance. Such request to amend must be made in writing by the person who signed the booking form or your travel agent and must be received at our offices at least 63 days prior to departure. A minimum amendment fee of £60 per passenger will automatically be applied. Changes to flight arrangements may be subject to additional charges.
Amendments (By Us)
As arrangements are made many months in advance, we have to reserve the right to make changes to brochure and holiday details both before and after you have booked your holiday. Any such changes are likely to be minor and we will advise you or your travel agent at the earliest possible moment. The change may be deemed to be a major one, e.g. a change to a lower class of accommodation than that booked or, e.g. departure time alteration of more than twelve hours (except force majeure). In this event then you have three options: (a) accept the changes as notified. (b) purchase another holiday. (c) cancel your holiday and receive a full refund of monies paid. In the event of (a), (b) or(c) above, except where change arises due to reason of force majeure, we will pay compensation as follows:
|More than 84 days
|83 - 56 days
|55 - 29 days
|28 - 15 days
|14 - 0 days
Brochure Accuracy
Every effort has been made to ensure that the information contained in the brochure is accurate. However, as you will appreciate, we have to contend with: (a) conditions outwith our control (b) the fact that the brochure has been compiled many months before the departure date (c) the possibility of human error.
It is a condition of booking your holiday that you take out suitable insurance cover before you travel. If you choose not to take out our recommended policy then it is essential that you provide us with details of your own policy which must offer sufficient and comparative protection. We are able to offer a comprehensive policy, please call us for details.
Space does not permit us to display the full terms and conditions of the insurance cover we have on offer. Full policy details are available upon request. Premiums subject to change.
Passports and Visas
It is each traveller`s responsibility to ensure he/she has a valid passport and visa(s) and complies with any health requirements for the entire duration of their journey before making any travel arrangements with us. You should ensure you have a valid 10 year passport and as many countries require expiry dates on passports to be a considerable length of time after the return from holiday, we recommend your passport is valid for 6 months after your return to the UK. Visa requirements and conditions vary by country and nationality and can change. Please ask for guidance at the time of booking as it is your ultimate responsibility to ensure you hold correct documentation.
Special Requirements
Please tell us if anyone in your party has a special diet, medical condition or is pregnant. You must make us aware of any traveller who is not fully mobile or who may use a wheelchair at any time. Special seating preferences cannot be guaranteed and are passed to our airline partners on a request only basis.
Force Majeure
We regret we cannot accept responsibility for and shall not be liable in respect of loss or damage or changes caused by "force majeure". This covers events such as strikes, riots, political unrest, hostilities, war or threat of war, terrorist activity, industrial disputes, government action, natural disasters, fire, adverse weather conditions, unavoidable technical problems to transport, aircraft grounding, closure of airports or ports or similar events beyond our control. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of any travel delays, either prior to your flight departure or otherwise, we will not be held responsible for any extra costs you may have incurred, e.g. hotel bills, meals, refreshments, telephone bills etc. This is irrespective of whether the problems causing the delay were foreseen or unforeseen. Also, no credit or refund can be given for any unused services (e.g. transfers, hotel accommodation, excursions) which may have been included in the holiday price, or any lost, mislaid or destroyed travel documents.
Hotel Accommodation
The hotels we offer are subject to change and if for any reason this becomes unavailable the Operator reserves the right to substitute one of equal quality. Your designated hotel will be shown on your travel documents, which will be sent approximately one week before departure.
We reserve the right at our absolute discretion to terminate without notice any liability the holiday arrangements of any person whose behaviour is such that it is likely, in our opinion, or that of any accommodation owner or manager, airline pilot, or other person in authority, to cause distress, danger damage or annoyance to other customers, employees, property or to any third party. If any person or persons are prevented from travelling because in the opinion of any person in authority they appear unfit to travel, or are likely to cause discomfort or disturbance to the customers or passengers, our responsibility for the holiday will cease. In all cases full cancellation charges apply and we will be under no obligation whatsoever for any cost incurred.
Baggage Allowance
Baggage allowance will be shown on your flight documents and if this is exceeded the airline may levy excess baggage charges.
Complaints & Arbitration
We will do everything possible to ensure that you have an enjoyable and trouble free holiday. However, as you will appreciate, there are certain aspects of your holiday which are out with our direct control. In the event that you have a problem or complaint during your holiday, then please bring it to the attention of the relevant person (e.g. airline, representative or hotelier), in order that it may be remedied at the time. Should you not receive satisfaction then please contact our office which is open Monday to Saturday 9.00 am. – 5.00 pm. Should the problem not be resolved, then please bring it to our attention upon your return. Any such complaint must be made to us in writing within 28 days of your return home. If you fail to follow this simple procedure we will have been deprived of the opportunity to investigate and rectify your complaint whilst you were at the destination and this may affect your rights under this contract.
What happens to Complaints?
It is unlikely that you will have a complaint that cannot be settled amicably between us. However, disputes arising out of, or in connection with this contract which cannot be resolved, may (if you wish) be referred to Arbitration under a special scheme which, though devised by arrangement with the Association of British Travel Agents, is administered quite independently by the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. The scheme provides for a simple and inexpensive method of Arbitration on documents, with restricted liability on you in respect of cost. The scheme does not apply to claims for an amount greater than £5,000:00 per person or £25,000:00 per booking. Nor does it apply to claims which are solely or mainly in respect of physical injury or illness or the consequences of such injury or illness. If you elect to seek redress under this scheme, written notice of the request for Arbitration must be received by the Association within nine months after your scheduled date of return. Full details ofthe scheme are available from the Association of British Travel Agents at 68-71 Newman Street, London W1P 4AH www.abta.com.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Treveon Graham scored 13 of his 15 points in the second half and Virginia Commonwealth used two second-half scoring runs to pull away and beat George Mason 71-57 on Thursday night.
Briante Weber added 12 points and five steals for the Rams (13-3, 1-0 Atlantic 10), who opened the second half with an 11-2 spurt to extend their lead to 46-36, then scored six in a row after the Patriots had closed to within 52-48 with 8:02 remaining. Juvonte Reddic had nine points and 14 rebounds.
The Patriots (7-8, 0-1), playing their first conference game since joining the Atlantic 10, got 13 points from Bryon Allen, 11 from Patrick Holloway and 10 from Jalen Jenkins. The Patriots also turned the ball over 19 times against the Rams' steady pressure, and VCU turned the takeaways into 18 points.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Tyreek Duren's two free throws with two seconds left in the game preserved La Salle's 76-73 win over George Washington in the Atlantic 10 Conference opener for both schools Thursday night.
Patricio Garino's layup with six seconds left cut the La Salle lead to two, 74-72, and Joe McDonald stole the ball two seconds later, only to turn the ball over himself.
