I need written confirmation of my cover – where can I get it?
If you purchased either professional liability insurance and/or general (public/products) liability insurance you will have received a Confirmation of Liability Insurance document with your emailed insurance documents.
Your customers (e.g. Local authorities) often ask for confirmation of insurance cover in respect of these types of liability and, if you provide them with a copy of this document, it should suffice in most instances.
The document can also be downloaded from My Area.

About our products
What does 'professional indemnity insurance' (also known as professional liability insurance) cover?
If you provide advice, training or act as a consultant, this provides protection for the consequences caused by mistakes, errors or omissions made by you - your professional risk. Public/Products Liability insurance does not generally cover these risks.
Please refer to the relevant summary of cover for a more detailed explanation of the cover we provide.
Find out more about professional indemnity insurance.
What level of professional indemnity cover should I buy?
This can be a difficult choice and can vary from business to business.
One way of assessing your ideal level of cover is to look at the number of clients you have and what the cost would be if things went wrong – if you gave the wrong advice or were negligent etc.
You may have to have a minimum level of cover to satisfy the requirements of your professional body or to meet the terms of a contract with a client so it's best to check these before making a decision.
What does 'public and product liability insurance' (also known as general liability insurance) cover?
Our general liability insurance includes public liability insurance and product liability insurance.
In going about your day to day business, you run the risk of causing injury or damage to third parties or their property; Public liability protects you from these risks. This can arise at your premises, at those you hire or whilst you are visiting the premises of others, including your customers. Slipping, tripping or damaging something belonging to a third party are all examples of what can happen. Professional indemnity insurance (also known as professional liability insurance) does not cover these risks.
Similarly, should you supply any product, be it a book, training equipment or even a cup of tea, product liability insurance affords appropriate protection.
Please refer to the relevant summary of cover for a more detailed explanation of the cover we provide.
Find out more about public and product liability insurance.
What does 'directors and officers liability insurance' cover?
Directors and officers of a company, and any person acting in a managerial or supervisory capacity, can be held personally liable for any act or omission made in relation to the running of the business (not the professional risk which would be catered for by professional indemnity insurance). They can also face investigations from 'official' authorities. This provides protection for their personal wealth and covers the costs incurred in defending their position.
Please refer to the relevant summary of cover for a more detailed explanation of the cover we provide.
Find out more about directors and officers insurance.
What level of directors and officers liability cover should I buy?
This can be a difficult decision to make, particularly as it is your personal wealth that is at risk. Be mindful that legal costs can be expensive in such situations.
What does 'employer's liability insurance' cover?
If you employ staff, you are required by law to have employer's liability insurance for a minimum level of cover of £5,000,000. The policy covers you for claims for compensation brought against you by employees if they are injured or become ill at work. Our policy provides £10,000,000 worth of cover as standard.
Please refer to the relevant summary of cover for a more detailed explanation of the cover we provide.
Find out more about employer's liability insurance.
What level of employer's liability cover should I buy?
Our policy provides cover for up to £10,000,000 as standard.
What does 'property damage insurance' cover?
This covers damage to your building (even if you don't own them but where the lease or rental agreement makes you responsible for arranging insurance) along with the office contents, computer equipment and the like whilst within the buildings.
The buildings sum insured should represent the cost of rebuilding the property and not its market value. The Sum Insured for contents should be the cost of replacing the property as new.
Cover is provided on an 'accidental damage' basis but certain causes of damage are not covered - please refer to the relevant summary of cover for a more detailed explanation of the cover we provide.
Find out more on our office insurance page.
What does 'business equipment insurance' cover?
This section covers portable business equipment such as computer equipment, photographic equipment, mobile phones etc. Cover applies anywhere in the world (including at your premises) and is on an 'all risks' basis (there are some exclusions so please refer to the relevant summary of cover for a more detailed explanation of the cover we provide)
Find out more on our office insurance page.
What does 'business interruption insurance' cover?
Should your premises be damaged and you are unable to go about your normal business activities, this covers you for any loss of income as well as additional expenses (this can range from renting additional premises to taking on temporary staff to complete a contract on time). Alternatively, you can choose to restrict cover to insure just the additional expenses incurred in order to keep you business going.
Please refer to the relevant summary of cover for a more detailed explanation of the cover we provide.
Find out more on our office insurance page.
What does 'money and personal assault insurance' cover?
'Money' cover is there to help replace cash and other types of negotiable and non-negotiable money if it is lost (or stolen) whilst in transit or from your premises, night safe etc.
The maximum we pay out depends on where the money was lost.
'Personal Assault' cover provides certain benefits to you, your employees and members of your or your employees family if they are injured as a result of robbery or attempted robbery in the course of your business.
(Please refer to the relevant summary of cover for a more detailed explanation of the cover we provide).
My business is based outside the UK – can you provide cover for it?
No – we are only able to provide cover for businesses domiciled/registered within the UK. (Please note that we are unable to quote for some covers in Northern Ireland)
My business is not listed in the dropdown options
At the present time we are unable to assist if your business is not listed.
I work from home – doesn't my home insurance policy cover me?
It is highly unlikely that a home insurance policy would cover you for risks arising out of running your business at home. You will almost certainly need separate business insurance.
What does it mean?
What's the difference between 'claims made' and 'claims occurring'?
A 'claims made' policy provides cover for claims made against you (and reported to us) during the policy period.
Claims notified after the expiry of this period – for example if the policy has not been renewed or if you have moved to another insurer – will not be covered, these would have to be dealt with by your new insurer or, if you have not arranged further insurance, by yourself. However, claims made against you during the policy period that relate to an incident that occurred prior to the policy period and of which you had no previous knowledge will probably be covered by our policy.
It is important that you tell us straight away if you become aware of anything that might result in a claim being made against you or you seeking the protection of the cover provided by your policy, as this is a requirement of your policy.
Professional Liability insurance and Directors and Officers Liability insurance are traditionally arranged on a 'claims made' basis.
What's the difference between 'any one claim' and 'aggregate'?
Liability policies have a policy 'limit' – the maximum amount that we will pay out. If the limit is 'any one claim' this means that the most we will pay out per claim is the limit specified. You could have several claims in the same policy period and whilst each would be subject to the specified limit there would be no overall limit.
If the policy is on an 'aggregate' basis then the limit is the maximum we will pay out in the policy period irrespective of the number of claims you may have.
'civil liability'
'Civil Liability' is any liability that you may incur other than a criminal one. It therefore includes, amongst others, negligence, defamation, unintentional breach of copyright etc.
Some liabilities are excluded so it is important that you read the relevant summary of cover for a more detailed explanation of the cover we provide.
'material fact'
Using the principle of 'utmost good faith' you should disclose all the material facts about your risk which you know or should know.
A material fact has been defined in a number of legal cases and broadly it is 'any fact which may influence the judgement of a prudent [insurance] underwriter in deciding whether to accept a risk and if so at what premium [and terms]'
If in doubt as to whether some piece of information is relevant tell us anyway, call us on 0800 640 6600.
The 'excess' is the amount you have to contribute to a claim.
If there is a £100 excess on your policy and the claim comes to, say £500, we would pay you £400 and you would have to bear the first £100 yourself.
Getting quotes
How long is my quote valid for?

Do you give advice and what is the difference between 'advised' and 'non-advised'?

A 'non-advised sale' is one where a recommendation is not made. Information is provided leaving you to decide how you wish to proceed.

We will, however, provide you with sufficient information to enable you to make a decision as to whether the policy we are offering meets your demands and needs.

What is the Financial Services Compensation Scheme?
The Financial Services Compensation Scheme ("FSCS") is the United Kingdom's statutory fund of last resort for customers of financial services firms. It is an independent body, set up under the Financial Services & Markets Act 2000 .
Since your insurer (Markel International Insurance Company Limited) is authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority you would have access to the FSCS which can pay compensation to consumers and eligible small businesses if a financial services firm is unable, or likely to be unable, to pay claims against it.
The level of compensation under the scheme is different dependent on the type of cover you hold
- Compulsory insurance, such as employers liability, is covered for 100% of the claim
- For other insurances, 100% of the first £2000 of the claim is covered and 90% of the remainder
- Further information can be obtained by visiting the Financial Services Compensation Scheme website on www.fscs.org.uk or by telephoning 0207 892 7300

Jessica is the daughter of author Libby Gleeson.
Jessica is 18 months younger than Mark Furze (Ric on Home and Away).
Her father is from New Zealand, and her mother is from Australia.
Jessica likes to spend her scarce free time going out for coffee with her friends and having lazy afternoons.
Got 98.8 on her high school certificate.
She has travelled through Europe and loved it so much she'd love to move to Italy.
Jessica believes her character, Belle, on Home and Away is unique.
She has been involved in drama since she was six years old.
Jessica's favourite films are Romeo and Juliet, Y tu mamá también and Donnie Darko..
Jessica's favourite celebrities are Geoffrey Rush and Meryl Streep.
Jessica's favourite bands are Red Hot Chili Peppers, Powderfinger and The Beautiful Girls.
Jessica is great friends with co-star Sharni Vinson.
Jessica starred in the children's program "Wicked Science".
Jessica has recently graduated from Newtown High School for Performing Arts.
Jessica is 18 years old and was born under the sign, Scorpio.
Shows an uncanny resemblence to The OC star, Mischa Barton.
Has appeared in print advertisments for Impulse Body Spray.
Jessica: (on filming scenes for "Home And Away" where she was lost in the bush) That was really fun, mostly because I hadn't really worked a lot with Chris (Hemsworth), Jodi (Gordon), Jason (Smith) or Amy (Mizzi), so it was really good getting to know them better. Being outside all day was great and some of the stuff we got to do was so cool. We were filming about the same time as the TV WEEK Logie Awards and I had to wear a long dress because I had so many cuts and bruises on my legs from falling down.
Jessica: (filming the storyline where her boyfriend cheated on her with her mother) Doing this storyline was really difficult for me because my real mum is so wonderful and would never do anything like that, so I found it pretty hard to imagine. I think Belle handled it the only way you could - by screaming at both of them and finding someone she trusted, Irene.
Jessica: (on her character in "Home And Away") I love playing Belle because she's so sassy and cheeky. I'm not much like that in real life. I was always pretty loud at school but never got into trouble and never broke the rules… well, I never got caught anyway!
Jessica: Working on Home and Away has been fantastic. It's something I have always wanted to do and I feel really very lucky to be here.
Jessica:The cast and crew are so wonderful. Everyone has been so welcoming. I especially clicked with Sharni (Vinson) from day one. Ironically Belle hates Cassie (Sharni's character) in the series.
Jessica Tovey on being compared to Mischa Barton: That's a pretty hard comparison to live up to and I think if you get too concerned with what people think about your body and what you have to be, then it will terribly affect your work.

Scott Arkfeld has resigned as Glenwood Community High School activities director and assistant principal, effective at the end the current school year.
Arkfeld, who has served in his current position for six years, handed in his resignation on Feb. 17. It was accepted by the Glenwood School District Board of Directors at their monthly meeting on Monday.
In an interview last week, Arkfeld, citing a desire to spend more time with his family, said he felt like the time was right for him to step down.
Students who are interested in pursuing a career in engineering, electronics or the technical trades are getting a head start on their post-secondary education or potential occupation through a pair of courses offered at Glenwood Community High School.
The first semester will end at Christmas break in the 2012-2013 school year, so says the Glenwood Community School District Board of Directors in a measure passed at last Monday's regular board meeting.
The board voted unanimously to begin the next school year Aug. 15 for third through 12th graders and Aug. 16 for kindergarten through second grade. Classes began Aug. 24 for the current school year.
Glenwood Community School District voters approved the school district's revenue purpose statement by a nearly 4-to-1 margin in a special election last Tuesday.
Approval of the revenue purpose statement allows the district to extend its existing one-cent sales tax revenue stream until 2029. That fund, now called the Advanced Vision for Education (SAVE) Fund, is a legislatively restricted revenue stream allowing districts to improve only its school infrastructure or service its existing debt.
You can scream it from the mountain top, 'No new taxes.'"
That's how Glenwood Community School District Superintendent Devin Embray describes the process of explaining the district's Revenue Purpose Statement as voters head to the voting booths next Tuesday to decide the fate of the district's 1-cent sales tax fund.
"This is not a new tax," Embray said of the revenue purpose statement. "This is the state's one-cent sales tax and they basically added a penny for schools and they added a penny for cities. This money is already coming in to the district right now."
Glenwood Police Chief Eric Johansen said his department is continuing its investigation into an alleged sexual assault of a student at Glenwood Community High School by a former school district employee.
Andrew Schoening, 19, is accused of sexually abusing a 15-year-old female student inside a closet at the school.
The Glenwood Community School District is asking motorists to stop.
Stop passing through the flashing red and the stop arm of its school buses.
In a typical year, the district sees a dozen reports of drivers ignoring school buses stopped to drop off or pick up students. Already this year, the district has 19 reports of motorists passing stopped school buses.
On Feb. 7, Glenwood Community School District voters will have an opportunity to vote on a new Revenue Purpose Statement directing the school district's spending of its 1-cent sales tax revenues.
MALVERN - The East Mills Community School District Board of Education has approved a renewal of the district's Instructional Support Levy (ISL) for an additional five years.
Glenwood Community High School students' average score on the ACT exam went up in 2011, while Iowa's overall scoring average ranked second nationally, according to a report released earlier this fall.

'Melancholia' Trailer Debuts
Writer/director Lars Von Trier's newest film is an end-of-the-world drama that stars Kirsten Dunst, Alexander Skarsgård and his father Stellan Skarsgård as well as Kiefer Sutherland. Like his other films, Von Trier's trailer proves the movie is gorgeously shot. In fact the tagline for this film is "a beautiful movie about the end of the world."
The film centers on a wedding of Justine (Dunst) and Michael (the younger Skarsgård). During the celebrations, the party sees a red star which turns out to be a planet, Melancholia, that was previously hiding behind the sun. Justine and her sister Claire (Charlotte Gainsbourg) then begin to wonder, what will happen when the world comes to an end?
Watch the trailer below.

Epcot Future World Update, Soarin' Around the World Wait Times, DVC Lounge, Taste Track Sundaes
With the Food and Wine Festival being the focus of most of our Epcot coverage in just a couple of weeks now, I thought it would be prudent to take a Pavilion-by-Pavilion look at a variety of things that I haven't had time to impart yet. Here we'll begin in Future World then move to Mexico to review the breakfast menu at La Cantina de San Angel and the kiosk that temporarily replaces the Margarita stand, in addition to a look around the pyramid. Then on to Norway for a review of Kringla's breakfast and some cupcakes and to see how Frozen Ever After and Royal Sommerhus are doing. China includes a look at the Shanghai Disneyland exhibit, a few new entrees at Lotus Blossom, and two dinners at Nine Dragons. Germany might be sparse at the moment but we'll check in on the new entertainment and drink offerings. Italy is Via Napoli dinner. U.S. might just be merchandise. In Japan, we'll take a look at new drinks and alcoholic kakigoris. A look around Morocco. A review of the all-day menu at Chefs de France, in addition to the new croissant sandwich at the Boulangerie and some Paris merchandise. I'll probably forget that I'm doing this by the time we get to the UK but you never know.

You, yes you, have the rare opportunity to interact with me "in real life" at Epcot or Magic Kingdom this Sunday as Dave and I attempt to hawk the newest edition of our guidebook available here: http://amzn.to/2buYUqG. It's not currently the best selling theme park guidebook on Amazon *shakes fist*, but the series remains the highest rated since debuting in 2014.
The date is Sunday August 28th. We'll be outside the pyramid in Mexico from 1pm to around 2pm when it will hopefully be a little brighter than this picture.

Susan Boyle Album Tops Amazon Pre-Orders
A month ahead of its release, Susan Boyle's album has more advance orders on Amazon.com than any CD in the retailer's history, it said.
The Sony album, titled "I Dreamed a Dream," goes on sale on Nov. 23. Ms. Boyle sang the song by the same name on "Britain's Got Talent," and the video of her unexpectedly strong performance made her a world-wide phenomenon after it landed on video-sharing sites like YouTube.
Amazon announced the pre-order milestone Wednesday, noting that her advance sales have exceeded those for such stars as Norah Jones, U2, Bruce Springsteen and Coldplay. It also created a "store" for Ms. Boyle that includes her breakthrough clip in addition to a link to buy the $10 album.
"I Dreamed a Dream" includes songs such as "Cry Me a River," "Daydream Believer" and "Amazing Grace." In addition to its pre-order ranking, it's currently No. 2 in all music sales, right behind rock symphony Trans-Siberian Orchestra's "Night Castle."

Guest Column: America's economy is rebooting – again
June 2014 marks five years since the Great Recession officially ended and, despite the frenetic and sometimes imaginative (remember 'Cash for Clunkers') lever pulling by policy makers in Washington, the recovery has been anything but great. But don't despair. For all the legitimate concerns over the lack of good paying jobs, there are some very positive things happening at the grass roots that augur hope for America's economic future. In fact, a healthy reboot and remix of the U.S. economy has already started. It won't be your father's economy, but then – it never is.

I have a feeling that perhaps my motives have been misunderstood. I want to clearly state for the record that I am not anti-city council, anti-mayor or anti-Campbellsville. I am very pro-Campbellsville.
Everyone in this room, I believe, has this very important thing in common, and I want to personally thank the mayor and city council for not raising the property tax rates as they could have last month.

This charging station begins as a crayon box. Kids create a foam sheet image of Tyrone and glue it on. Now Dad and Mom can hang electronics as they charge them.
Catch the Backyardigans on Nick Jr.

Open the top of the crayon box and cut off the top flap. Cut a U-shape in the front of the crayon box for an opening. Open the bottom of the box and snip out a piece to allow the charger's cord to run out of the bottom of the box. Reinforce the bottom of box with clear packing tape.

 Using the templates, trace Tyrone's head onto orange foam, the antlers piece onto brown foam, and the cover pieces onto blue foam.

 Cut out all of the pieces

 Glue the cover pieces onto the front, top and sides of the crayon box.

 As the glue dries, use a pen or marker to draw on Tyrone's mouth and nostrils on the orange head.

 Glue the antlers to the back of the head. Then glue the head, complete with antlers, to the front of the box. Let dry.

 Add the wiggly eyes, and then draw one eyebrow over each.

You can hang the charging station on a wall near the outlet in one of two ways: Either poke a hole for a hook so it can be hung on the wall. Or, add removable hanging strips to the back and another to the wall.

Drop Dad's phone, PDA, or MP3 player into the box. Slip the cord from the charger up through the bottom of the box, plugging it into the electronic. When the charger is not in use, keep the cord pulled up through the bottom of the box where it is easily accessible next time charging is necessary.

Although I've owned two cats that lived to be 17 years old, I've never had a dog of my own. I wanted to really do it right from the start and asked her if she could recommend a good book for the care and training of the puggle. Margie recommended two, "The Art of Raising a Puppy" by the Monks of New Skete and "Guide to Raising a Puppy" from the Keep It Simple Series of guide books. I bought both books and read them cover to cover. Both books stress the importance of careful consideration and planning. Different pups are suited to different circumstances, and it is important for a breeder to come to an accurate appraisal of each dogs possibilities.
In late February I made arrangements to visit Hugapuggle. Its a 270 mile round trip but I wanted to see the facility and discuss the puppy aptitude testing with the breeder. The facility was attractive. The kennel area was clean and well kept and all of the dogs looked well cared for. When I asked about the puppy aptitude testing she said that they dont do it and dont believe it is necessary for the puppies they sell, but I could do the testing if I wanted to. On March 28, two of the dams at Hugapuggle had a total 14 puppies on the same day. I thought, great! Ill be able to find the perfect match. I received this message from her, Have you seen the new litter pictures? We had 14 puppies on Wednesday of last week! You have second choice of Sadie's as she has four males to choose from. I tentatively have the choosing weekend set for May 3-5th. Would it be possible for you to come on the Thursday evening, May 3rd at around 6:30 ish? I am trying to get clients that have either first or second choice to come on that Thursday to get their choices picked prior to all those after them. As you live fairly close, is this a possibility. I called her and asked if I was second on the list why did I have to chose from four males from a litter of six. She said that a lot of the new buyers wanted female-only and that I had to have a male because that is all I had talked about. When I reminded her that we had discussed the puppy aptitude testing, not that I wanted a male only, she became in my perception and opinion argumentative and confrontational. She told me I had to come on Thursday, May 3rd at 6:30pm for the choosing weekend and that I would have one hour to decide on a male puppy. I told her I would check with my wife and let her know. I sent her an email that evening stating that the books she recommended stated that the puppies needed to be close to seven weeks old to do aptitude testing. Since the take-home time for the puppies was the end of May, I asked if we could move the selection of a puppy back a week. I also asked to be able to view the puppies late in the morning (as recommended in the books) when they are active rather than in the evening. I offered to take time off work to be on a day convenient to her schedule. I asked her to call me to work out the details. Instead I received an email including this statement, While we respect your desire to use the puppy aptitude test and believe that it is an important part of your choosing process, we are not be able to accommodate your request. We have refunded your $310.00 deposit into your Paypal account. So much for the personal service and finding just the right puppy as stated on their website. If she didnt want to have the aptitude testing as part of the process, why not tell me that in Feb when I was there?

Margie is the best!

SUBMITTED: Wednesday, March 26, 2014POSTED: Wednesday, March 26, 2014
Back in December I was looking for a puggle puppy and contacted Margie from Hugapuggle. I had tons of questions and she answered all my questions and was a pleasure to work with from the beginning! I had searched Hugapuggle before I contacted her and this stupid report came up! I'm glad other people responded in her defense and by reading the original report I thought to my self nothing could make this guy happy. I'm glad I found Margie I now have a very smart and sweet baby boy! The vet was very impressed with how well he was taken care of and all the documents he came with! If your thinking bout getting a puggle I highly recommend Hugapuggle.

Let me abreviate this in terms you may understand. An ethical business person does what they say there are going to do. Hugapuggle, in my opinion, did not as detailed in my post. See how easy it is to communicate without resulting to crude metaphors.
They took my deposit keeping me from contacting a more responsible breeder for months until they lined up less knowledgeable buyers. They promised a choosing weekend but when I wanted to do the standard Volhard Puppy Aptitude they insisted I had to choose on on a week night at 6:30pm requiring me to take time off work and drive 270 miles to make a decision on a five week old sleepy puppy. Those kind of decisions frequently wind up with dog/owner mis-matches that result in a dog being surrendered to a shelter.
After Hugapuggle backed out of their agreement, I had no problem contacting another responsible breeder who agreed to do the Volhard Puppy Aptitude Test. Legacy Kennels did the testing and delivered my puggle for $600 less than Hugapuggle. I had my new puggle companion in hand by the end of April and now in Jan I couldn't be happier. If Margie been less disingenuous I could have had my new little friend in Feb.

AUTHOR: Puggle Lover - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, January 05, 2013POSTED: Saturday, January 05, 2013
I don't know what type of research you did in matching your puggle to the needs of your family nor would I presume to call your criteria ridiculous or BS regardless of how low your standards may seem to me. I read the two books recommended by Margie at Hugapuggle cover to cover. The both stress the importance of the Volhard Puppy Appitude Test at seven weeks to match a puppy to the potential owner. Mis-matched puppies and owners is the main cause of dogs being surrendered to animal shelters. When I first talked to Margie at Hugapuggle she seemed to be unfamiliar with the test but was willing to let me do it as part of my selection process. I told her I was willing to wait as long as necessary so that I could have the pick of a litter. As less decerning buyers signed up she made the business decision to backout of her offer as detailed in my original post.
When dogs are tested for their aptitude to be service dogs it's not done at five weeks based on gut feel or making an instant connection watching a sleepy puppy for a few minutes at 6:30pm as I was asked to do. While I am sure a twelve year old girl would be happy with any puggle puppy, I'm not. I'm retired my puggle is my constant companion all day everyday and we go everywhere together. I'm commited to being constant companions for a very long time.
I adopted my puggle from Legacy Kennels located in Lester Prairie, Minnesota in April of 2012. Joanie at Legacy from my first contact was genuinely interested in making a good puppy/owner match not just in pushing puppies out the door as fast as possibly. She was not only willing to do the Volhard Puppy Apptitude Test she brought in a third part to do the testing so the results would not be skewed through familiarity. She had seven puppies 7-9 weeks old and through pictures and her knowledge with the pups we narrowed it down to four to be tested. She even offered to let me Skype the testing.
My pup true to her test results is intellingent and easy to train. She is well socialized and has never barked at another dog or person on our daily long walks. She has already learned to sit, down and heel. She will fetch her ball as long as I am willing to throw it and bring it back and drops it at my feet. She was quickly house trained and crate trained. While money was really not an issue for me, Legacy charges $700 for the AKC Pug and AKC Beagle mix and $300 to fly her in the passenger cabin of a commercial jet accompanied by a human companion that delivered her curbside.
If you're happy with the Hugapuggle, "Pig-in-a-poke puggle" by all means buy another puggle from Hugapuggle who in my opinion is only interested in pushing puppies out the door as fast as possible. On my visit to Hugapuggle, even after I told Margie I wanted to have the pick of a litter, she tried to push me into buying a puggle puppy that was blind in one eye and almost blind in the other for half price. Due to the interest in this subject expressed by you and others I am going to do further posts on additional consumer sites such as Yelp and the various Puggle Blogs.

Apptitude is showing at 5 weeks old in pups
AUTHOR: Sarah - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, November 20, 2012POSTED: Tuesday, November 20, 2012
People coming to see pups normally "connect" with the pup even at the age of 5 weeks, and with such pups in high demand, and this breeder wanting to give you first or second choice, there was no way she could "hold up" the selection process for a few more weeks.. When a buyer pushed a breeder into such a situation, then it makes it very hard to get all pups placed by the time they are 8 weeks old.
It is necessary to get pups in their new homes around 8 weeks, so that they bond with their new family. I once got bullied by a buyer to hold off on selection and due to that I had a pup that I could not find placement for until she was 12 weeks, and then at half the selling price.
If you felt this breeder had such a good reputation, (and I have been to this breeder's facilities and I can say she is top notch, and taught me a lot, which she did not have to do as I am a competitor) then you should have trusted her opinion. A breeder can really help pick out the right pup with the personality as they have spent so much time with the pups...
Learn to trust the experts you are so willing to put the money out for such a good breeding program.

Home > Wellness > Health Library > Angina
Angina is a symptom of heart disease. Angina happens when there is not enough
blood flow to the heart muscle. This is often a result of narrowed blood
vessels, usually caused by hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis).
Most people feel angina symptoms in their chest. The most common symptom is chest pain or pressure, or a strange feeling in the chest. But you might feel symptoms in other parts of your body. Some people feel pain, pressure, or a strange feeling in the back, neck, jaw, or upper belly, or in one or both shoulders or arms.
Other symptoms of angina include shortness of breath, nausea or vomiting, lightheadedness or sudden weakness, or a fast or irregular heartbeat.
Angina can be stable or unstable. Stable angina happens at fairly predictable times, usually with
activity or exertion. It also may occur during exposure to cold or times of
emotional stress. Stable angina can be relieved by rest or nitroglycerin. Unstable angina is a change in your usual pattern of stable angina. Unstable angina may mean that you are having a heart attack.
If you have angina, pay attention to
your symptoms, know what is typical for you, learn how to control it, and
understand when you need to get treatment.

Television footage showed Brazilian Leonardo bumping into referee Alexandre Castro with his left shoulder in the Parc des Princes tunnel after Ligue 1 champions PSG drew 1-1 with Valenciennes in Ligue 1 on May 5.
"The (disciplinary) commission hands him a nine-month ban," the LFP said, adding that Leonardo was banned from the bench, the referees' dressing-room and from all official functions.
The club was quick to react to the news by issuing a statement expressing their support for the Brazilian.
"Paris Saint-Germain considers this decision to be unjustified and extremely harsh. As a result, and in solidarity with its sporting director, Paris Saint-Germain will appeal this decision," PSG said.
PSG were also handed a suspended three-point deduction over the incident for the 2013-14 season.
Leonardo, whose suspension runs from May 8, had denied pushing the referee, saying he was shoved towards Castro by the match delegate.
"The commission's task was to decide whether the shoulder barge was intentional," commission president Pascal Garibian said.
"The commission retained this idea. The commission judges acts, players, and people independently of a club's notoriety."
Leonardo, the former Inter and AC Milan manager, received a two-match suspended ban in November from the French federation's Ethics Committee for criticising the referee after Mamadou Sakho was sent off in a league game at Montpellier.
Leonardo's latest suspension is a huge blow for PSG, who are reportedly seeking a replacement for Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti who has said he wants to leave the club.
Leonardo would be on the short-list to replace Ancelotti who is under contract with PSG until June 2014.

The Converse One Star was a one-year deal in 1974, while NC State was back in the ACC Final for the second straight year. They defended their title in '74, defeating Maryland 103-100 in overtime - still the only time either team would top 100 in an ACC final. For McMillen this was his third straight loss in the ACC final, but at least he had a Rhodes Scholar spot to fall back on.

"College Football Playoff" is the new name for the upcoming 4-team college football playoff, which begins after the completion of the 2014 regular-season.
That's it. College Football Playoff. It's simple and to the point. Other rumored names such as "National Championship Series" didn't make the cut.
"We decided to call the playoff what it is - the College Football Playoff. We think the new playoff will be the most dynamic improvement to college football in a generation. Certainly it's what the fans want. We also invite everyone to vote online to select the logo and help us kick off the new College Football Playoff," said Bill Hancock, the Executive Director of the College Football Playoff.
As Hancock said, and we reported on Twitter earlier today, fans can vote for their choice for the new College Football Playoff logo (see options below). The new logo will become the official mark of the event through the 2025-26 season.
The official website of the College Football Playoff is www.collegefootballplayoff.com and you can follow them on Twitter @CFBPlayoff.
The Rose Bowl and the Sugar Bowl were previously announced as the host sites for the first national semifinal games on January 1, 2015.
The winners of the semifinals will advance to the College Football Playoff Championship Game on Monday, January 12, 2015. The site of the game will be announced Thursday, but it is expected to be Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Listed below is the rotation for the playoffs beginning after the 2014 regular season and continuing through the 2025 season.

It should have been College Football Championship. This name is weak.
OK I guess that works
Fotball Final Four would of been the best. And they got the logo for that too.
At least it is not the "Corporate Sponsor" College Football Playoff, like every other thing associated with sports this day and age. But, give it time and somebody will offer them enough money that they will slap a label on that too.
So the 6 rotating bowls are the Fiesta, Rose, Sugar, Orange, Peach Bowl (Chick-Fil-A), and what???
The new system gives even more teams to get a major bowl if they dont qualify for the 4 team playoff
At least there will no longer be the kind of foolishness that calls UCF vs Baylor a Bowl Game. What a waste of time that will be!
Yeah, What's with the UCF thing? Baylor is OK, but UCF? why not Western Kentucky or some other unknown
College Football Final Four. ?
If they want ratings, best not be NIGHT game on New Year's Eve. That'd be plain DUMB. Would make Jan 1 much more interesting IF played back to back on New Year's Day. Like 4:30 & 8pm ET.
Just a 4 team playoff? What kind of playoff is that? Should have been at least 8 or 16 team playoff. Basically, this will be the same as the BCS. No real improvement.
An 8 game playoff would be best. Call it anything you want!!
I believe it should be a real play-off team that wins a conference is an automatic bid, I don't know how many conferences there are but I would take the bowl games and use them as the playoff sites and then rotate the FBS Natoinal Championship Game to be played in a rotation of the sites to all areas of the country or play the current national championship at a stadium near to the University that won the previous year! Because the way these geniuses have set this up are idiots it's about the atmosphere game day tailgating, the teams, bands and coaches and universities. Play Off those two words mean post season play for a chance to be recognized as the best that year. The rated no.1 team gets a bye making 24 teams eligible to play a first round, that leaves 12 teams, next round 6, next round semi's No.1 plays the lowest ranked team left, then Championship Game!

I just got my blog updated to 3.3.1 and the few plugins as well what I use. I use bueno theme 1.7.1. Everything seemed to be just fine and all posts normal and the admin account fine, BUT one of my posts is missing from the website.
It's there (homepage)as excerpt as all the other posts BUT when clicking on the excerpt, the actual post is missing, there's just my header image, as small one, replacing it. Which I have not specifically attached with this post. The header image is the same all over the website and every page. But the header image does contain the same name as the name of my missing post. Is this some issue?
The missing post is normally in my admin account so its not lost (at least that's great..!), and I tried to write there something, then update the post. Success - BUT still the post is missing from the post page and there is the small header image strangely there only. It just won't show up there no matter how many time I try to update it..
That post was set as "announcement" for seo purposes so I tried to switch it to normal and update but no change , the post just won't show up on the post page. There's only the small header image...
All my other posts are normal and show up and nothing wrong with them and all the links, pages etc work normally.
Does anyone have any idea what's the issue? It's only related to this particular post for some strange reason..
I have one person doing all this to me but he is quite busy and I may need to wait some time before he can get into this issue so in the meanwhile if anyone can help me with this, I'd be grateful, as I could try to fix it by myself too! Thanks!

Art City Asks: Trent Miller
Trent Miller, moved to Madison following graduate studies at Boston University. The Indiana native is not a typical transplant, at least in terms of the way he makes art. His work is formed through dialogue with local arts.
When he moved here, Miller did not waste time looking at and researching art in area museums and galleries.

Meet the Kids
Miss Gina has four wonderful children that were the inspiration behind the city shops.
Meet our Staff
We hire great people that care about your kids. A couple of days a week we have volunteers with special needs. Please be sure to let them know they are doing a great job when you are here. We strive to hire people who are fun, creative and love family!
Our Vision:
To be the ultimate place for kids to create and parents to relate!
Our Mission:
Come in and play and we will help a child far away!
Please check out a video of the children we are currently sponsoring through your patronage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjxXzrYjnGQ
(The Playseum currently supports 58 children who have been taken off the streets in Northern India. Many of whom would have otherwise died, been sold into slavery or abandoned. These children have been placed in loving adoptive native homes one at a time. Remember them in your prayers.
Help bring play to China with the Playseum and Ms. Gina
