Homeward bound: Crossing
Potomac, vaguely watching
while world passes by
If we were having coffee, we'd be hanging at my house and I'd be sitting in my pajamas. I have deemed this morning to be a chill morning and am going about it as quietly as possible.
It's been a few weeks since I've joined the coffee share, if you haven't noticed. If you have noticed, there's a bit of a two-fold reason behind this. First of all, life has been really busy and I haven't necessarily had the time to sit down and write a coffee share. I've also been going through a bit of a writing slump lately. I'm dutifully writing out my Hump Day Haikus (usually at the last minute on Tuesday night) to keep up with my one weekly blog installment, but other than that,
I just don't want to write I always want to write but am struggling to find my words. A lot of thoughts are happening internally and I don't quite know what to make of them/don't quite know how to put those thoughts into words. I'm sure time will put things into perspective but for the time being, I'm left feeling confused and lacking the inspiration to write much of anything.
If we were having coffee, I'd tell you that I'm starting a new job tomorrow! It's a temp position that will only last for a few months. I'll be doing administrative work and other tasks assigned as they come in at the financial department of one DC's neighboring city's City Hall. Certainly not the dream job for me (I'd much rather be doing editorial work, preferably in a historical or cultural institution) but I am taking this as a new and exciting Continue reading "#WeekendCoffeeShare–In Which Things Have Been Happening"
If we were having coffee, I'd start off by saying hi! It's been a couple very hectic weeks since I've joined the coffee share. I moved twice, lived in three different places, and was without wifi for a week. I've been preoccupied with getting into my own place, figuring out housemates, and continuing my job search. I've been learning a lot at the coffee shop and I've been feeling more comfortable (in some respects) with my position there.
If we were having coffee, I'd be delighted to let you know that I'm now officially a resident of the District of Columbia. I was so flustered and nervous when I didn't have a place by August 1, but my college friend was so accommodating by letting me move in with her to her new place. I spent one week there until my current roommate and I had our DC place secured and ready to move in to. Last Sunday, we moved into a gorgeous, fully furnished house in a great neighborhood. We've signed a lease to live here until December, with the intention that we'll be more settled into DC life then and have a bit more money on our hands to spend on furniture and such for an unfurnished house. For the time being, we are happy in our house for now. I met my roommate on Facebook, in a group for those looking for housing in the DC area, and she's been great so far. We will have two more roommates joining us in the next month, including my good friend Phoebe, whom I interned with at the National Postal Museum in 2014! I love the way life can throw surprises at you if you allow it. Continue reading "#WeekendCoffeeShare–In Which I Moved…Again"
If we were having coffee, I'd start off by saying, no I haven't seen Finding Dory. It's on my list, but I'm far too busy trying to figure my life out to go to the movies. That, and I don't frequent the movies that often as it is. That said, I am just trying to keep swimming right now, so the post title is a pretty accurate portrayal of my life.
If we were having coffee, we'd still be talking about housing. It's been a stressful week on my end that's included multiple house tours with no luck in hearing back from people. I've primarily been looking to take over a spot in a shared house, as it is sooo muuccchh cheaaaaper to live with others in the DC area. That said, the housing market is crazy competitive out here and spots fill up really quickly. Also, a lot of shared houses are looking for a certain personality to match the dynamic of the house, which also makes the search more difficult–because if I don't match the dynamic, I'm just not gonna get the spot. I'd probably be able to secure a studio apartment with a lot more ease, but that would also leave a lot more of a dent in my wallet. I'm continuing to scour the internet like crazy but have accepted that, if nothing shows up within the next couple days, I'm going to secure an Airbnb to live in for the time being once the lease in my current place is up. The lease is up, mind you, Continue reading "#WeekendCoffeeShare–In Which I Just Keep Swimming"
If we were having coffee, we'd be talking about house hunting.
I'm staying with my college friend right now, but her lease is up at the end of July–so I need to find a place by the first of August. I've been scouring the internet looking for housing opportunities and I've been feeling a lot of stress.
If we were having coffee, I'd tell you that I thought I had one. A place to live in DC. I met with the roommates and we seemed to get along well, I liked the location, but the application ended up falling through. I took it real hard and had a bit of a rough day on Tuesday, as a result. Towards the end of the day, I realized–there are so many other housing options in DC. So many people looking for roommates. So many rooms opening up. I had gotten it in my head that this house was the only one…but it's not. I feel so rushed because there are only a couple weeks left of July now, but a lot can happen in a couple weeks. I'm certain I'll find a place. Plus, this house was the very first one I toured–it honestly seemed too good to be true in getting into the first place I toured…and I guess it was. Something else will come along in time.
If we were having coffee, I'd tell you that I've had a mix of good and bad days this week. House hunting is stressful…especially on a time limit…and I'm eager and anxious to get into a place of my own. I think, another part of me is anxious about actually settling down. Though I Continue reading "#WeekendCoffeeShare–House Hunting and Deep Thoughts About Life, Among Other Things"
If we were having coffee, I would tell you about how the majority of this week has consisted of job applications with minimal exploring in between. Although there is so much to see and do in the DC area, being unemployed has resulted in me staying at home and not doing a whole lot in an effort to save money. That's okay because when it all comes down to it, I'm a bit of a homebody. However, it's also gotten a bit excessive to the point where I've started having conversations with the cat in between job applications.
If we were having coffee, I'd tell you about the exploring I did do this week. Last Sunday, I explored more of Arlington Continue reading "#WeekendCoffeeShare–In Which I Take on DC"
It's an incredibly good feeling, knowing that you did the right thing for yourself regardless of how hard it was or how difficult it was to get there.
As I watched the plane I was on for the first length of my journey back to the States take off from Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok a handful of days ago, I was overcome with a burst of emotion and I started to cry. They were brief tears. They didn't last long. But they were tears none-the-less.
It's really hard to explain my feelings toward Thailand. How, at times, while I was living there, I hated it. How unhappy I was while I was living there. How I couldn't wait to leave when I was preparing for my two week trip to Europe in mid-March.
While in Europe, the friend I was visiting with gave me some really good advice. At that point, I was still feeling a lot of animosity towards Thailand for the hardships I experienced while living there; I was more than happy to be spending time on European soil. I was telling her how much Continue reading "The View from Home"
I'm not one who believes everything happens for a reason.
Life is too sporadic, too uncertain for every single thing in this life to happen for a specific reason.
Life just happens. We make meaning out of what happens. What happens affects us whether for better or for worse. But I don't believe there's any rhyme or reason behind it. One small second, change of plan, different action could have changed something, everything. But it didn't…and life goes on.
I also believe that the best things in life happen when we aren't looking.
So, around four months ago when I found a job posting on Indeed.com for an espresso bar barista at a gas station situated in the suburb over from where I live, I wasn't looking for a life changing experience. I was simply looking for something to keep me busy between graduating from college in May and heading off on my next big adventure as an English teacher in Thailand
in September. A full time job where I could earn enough money to be able to pay for all my Thailand travel expenses without having to worry too much about finances, while spending the Continue reading "An Ode to the Gas Station I Called Home this Summer"
If we were having coffee, I'd start off out by telling you that this week has been awesome. Truly awesome. I'm down to a week and a half before I leave the country for an indefinite amount of time and I want to make the most of the time I have left here…and I feel like I've definitely been doing that this week.
If we were having coffee, I'd tell you about how I visited my college town earlier this week for the first time since I left as a new graduate in May. I'd tell you about how wonderful it was to be back and how I practically started crying when I drove up to campus and greeted my friends on the campus mall. There were tears and they were of the best kind. I was so happy to be back. I didn't realize how much I'd missed campus until I was all the sudden there again. It was so wonderful to spend time with some of my dearest friends and I loved getting to see a bunch of people whom I hadn't seen in ages. I also ran into my former history adviser and one of my favorite professors on campus, which was wonderful (hm…I'm using the word wonderful a lot in this paragraph. But this visit was so wonderful that my usual attention to variations in word choice while writing is failing me…and I don't even know how else to describe it). I'm so unbelievably glad I got to go back before I leave for Thailand. This place means so much to me and, given my current sense of wanderlust, adventure, and a general need not be living in Minnesota for at least the time being, it's quite possible that I wont be back again for…well, years. Seeing so many people that I know I wont get to see for ages and ages now that I'm Continue reading "#WeekendCoffeeShare–Back to College (for a Day), Friends Time, and Thailand is Getting Closer!"
If we were having coffee, I'd assure you that, OH MY GAWD, I SWEAR I'M NOT A DRUNK.
The last time I was even remotely tipsy was when I wrote this post.
(I'd also assure you that that post was a hit and blogging drunk is fun)
All my friends are far away and I have no one to drink with but myself. #collegegraduateproblems

If we were having coffee, I discuss how generally boring and uninspiring this week was. At least at work. Seriously.

Street Fighter 2010
a game by Capcom
Platform: NES
See also: Street Fighter Games
The Final Fight..
The Street Fighter saga, started in the arcades a couple of years ago, continues in a new Nintendo sequel. In this game you are Ken, the greatest street fighter in the world. After a successful world tour, you enrolled in Bargham University. While there, you and your best friend Troy discovered a revolutionary new substance called Cyboplasm. This product had the ability to make a person several times stronger than normal! One day Ken returned to his lab only to find it completely destroyed, the Cyboplasm formula stolen and Troy killed. You now must travel to the frontier lands of the future, retrieve the stolen secret and capture the killer.
In Street Fighter you must travel through 19 levels on 5 different planets in search of the stolen formula. Each level contains numerous enemy and Ken must use his martial arts skills to defeat all who oppose him. After each successful battle Ken obtains a Neutron Pod and this gives him additional energy to use in the next level. Once all of the enemy in the level are beaten a teleport opening is created and Ken has to quickly find the opening and jump into it before it disappears! Each level is several screens wide and high and set in a side-view perspective. Besides the standard kick and punch moves there are flips and summersaults borrowed from Capcom's megaarcade hit Strider. Noteworthy is the ability to grasp and climb vertical surfaces in a manner similar to that used in Ninja Gaiden. The enemies are plentiful and the end of planet bosses are difficult to overcome.
Top Score Tips!!
Always keep moving, or the enemy will track you down. It's also important to learn the play technique and master the fighting and climbing maneuvers.
People say:
FinalFight bears no re-semblence to the recent coin-op introduction, but nevertheless stands out as an outstanding example of good Nintendo play! The game is difficult to learn, but once you get it down 2010 is a great ride!
Capcom's answer to fighting games is here, but it is only for the experts! Final Fight contains all the familiar elements of a good action game, but the techniques that are used are overly complicated and detract from the game.
Final Fight is a great game that plays hard and fast, a quality not found in most of the new NES softs. It has been labeled a sequel to the arcade hit, but it's more of a worthy sequel to Strider mega challenge!
This game is for skilled players because of the complexity of the moves. Capcom's designers have created their answer to GaiDen, complete with intermissions! This may be the ultimate challenge, but hardly the final fight!

The Price of the Ticket(1985)
Collected Non-fiction, 1948-85
A non fiction book by James Baldwin
The works of James Baldwin constitute one of the major contributions to American literature in the twentieth century, and nowhere is this more evident than in The Price of the Ticket, a compendium of nearly fifty years of Baldwin's powerful nonfiction writing. With truth and insight, these personal, prophetic works speak to the heart of the experience of race and identity in the United States. Here are the full texts of Notes of a Native Son, Nobody Knows My Name, The Fire Next Time, No Name in the Street, and The Devil Finds Work, along with dozens of other pieces, ranging from a 1948 review of Raintree Country to a magnificent introduction to this book that, as so many of Mr. Baldwin's works do, combines his intensely private experience with the deepest examination of social interaction between the races. In a way, The Price of the Ticket is an intellectual history of the twentieth-century American experience; in another, it is autobiography of the highest order.

1. They have no political stake, power or political allies ( or any allies in America for that matter)? Elections are won by big money corporate interests something blacks collectively don't have.
2. Every president in American history has failed and will continue to fail black people? Makes no sense why blacks would give a fuck about who's in Washington or not.
3. Shrillary would've backstabbed blacks just like the rest of them have and trump will continue that tradition.
So in conclusion , blacks stop fighting one another unite realize its you against the world. If police stop you cower and get super scared and beg them not to beat or kill you. Show this kind of fear because the police love that and that's what they want to see from you. So don't fret black people, the outcome of the election wasn't going to improve nothing no matter who won and that's the truth.

YouTube has one billion monthly users—almost one-third of all people on the internet—and millions of hours of video are watched every day on the video platform. But the Google-owned video site is still in the investment stage, according to Susan Wojcicki, CEO of YouTube.
"We are still in investment mode," Wojcicki said at the Fortune Most Powerful Women summit in Laguna Niguel, Calif. on Tuesday. She explained further that the declining TV viewership of people in the 18 to 34-year-old segment represents a massive opportunity for her team, which Google (googl) bought for $1.6 billion in 2006. Areas where they are investing, she added, include virtual reality. "There's no timetable," she said, referring to a question on profitability.
That doesn't necessarily mean YouTube isn't profitable, but it just means it's not a focus at the moment. YouTube, which primarily makes money from advertising within its videos, doesn't release revenue numbers (it is not separated in financial statements by parent company Alphabet). But some reports put revenue in the billions.
Another focus for the viral video platform has been supporting the many creators who have flocked there to create videos. Actress and comedian Grace Helbig, whose channel has 3 million subscribers, joined the site three years ago to start her show because of the creative freedom. "There are no gatekeepers," said Helbig, who appeared onstage with Wojcicki.
"For years, we were trying to figure out how to get in the living room, but now we are everywhere with mobile phones," Wojcicki said.

Like everyone else.
I've got a sense of humor and I take myself far too seriously. I can be sarcastic, I can be dry. I can be ridiculous.
I'm a walking contradiction.
At the moment I'm working on a comedy podcast with some friends, and it's a lot of fun. I'm also going beyond strumming the guitar to learning music theory, as I did when I played violin a long time ago. Spanish is the language I want to know more.
Tree of Life, Life of Brian, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Sci-Fi stuff, Godfather, there's loads of films I like. The Examined Life - amazing film.
I generally dislike musicals. I'd like a companion I could take to the theater though. I don't watch much TV, but I like watching something if there's something on if that makes sense?
Music-wise it's the following... rock, funk, hiphop, beats, folk, bands like Radiohead or this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBfgQvM7wtE xx

The violence in Nigeria continues as a combined force of Nigerian police officers and agents of the country's domestic spy agency found themselves the target of a brutal attack that left at least 30 of them dead and others still missing days later, authorities said Thursday. They were in Lafia to quench some of the domestic disturbances going on in the city.
This continues a series of attacks on security forces by Islamic extremist in northern Nigeria. The killings forced President Goodluck Jonathan to abandon a diplomatic visit to southern Africa to return home to speak to security forces about the increasing body counts from violence across the nation.
The attack Tuesday in the village of Alakio, near Nasarawa's state capital of Lafia, saw members of the Ombatse militia attack and rout the contingent of officers. At least 30 officers of the police and the State Security Service were killed in the attack, Nasarawa police spokesman Michael O. Ada said. Another 17 remain missing and "might be held hostage," Ada said.
Ombatse, a militia of people belonging to the Eggon people of the region, had been forcing Christians and Muslims to convert to their quasi-religious organization, Ada said. The security forces had planned to raid Ombatse's local shrine, the spokesman said.
The killings come after Islamic extremists in Nigeria's northeast armed with heavy weapons and anti-aircraft guns raided a town called Bama also on Tuesday, killing at least 42 people, including 22 police officers. In a statement Thursday, Nigeria's federal police said commanders received orders to stop the violence.
"We consider the attack not just an attack on the Nigeria Police and its officers and men but an attack on the collective will of Nigerians to protect and preserve our dear fatherland; this we have vowed to put an end to," the federal police command said.

Denham Springs Councilwoman Cindy Wale pledged to make safer roads a priority if she is re-elected to the Livingston Parish Council, according to a news release formally announcing her candidacy for the District 3 seat.
Wale pointed to the more than $1 million she helped the parish secure for improvements to Eden Church Road in northern Denham Springs as an example of the sort of improvements she favors.
She worked on the Bass Pro project before being elected and pushed for the Juban Crossing project after taking her seat on the council.
In her next term, Wale hopes to establish litter control and animal-control programs, according to the release.
Wale is a critic of government waste.
"I've seen too much waste in government during my time here, and I have worked to stop this whenever I can," she said.
Wale is a board member of the Livingston Parish Economic Development Council and the Denham Springs Chamber of Commerce. She is also on the Executive Committee of the Baton Rouge Area Chamber.
Wale and her husband Jeffrey have two children.

You agree that you will not duplicate, reproduce, copy, sell, trade or resell the Website for any purpose.

Cascadia will cross-ship if the following criteria are met:
The product resources offered in Product Tour are provided courtesy of their respective developers. As such, Cascadia is not responsible in any way for the accuracy of claims, representations or suggestions made in these materials. Similarly, all compatibility or technical issues should be directed to the appropriate developer or manufacturer. These resources are provided on an "as is" basis by Cascadia as a supplementary service to you, the user. We offer these resources to you strictly for informative purposes as they may lend valuable insight into products you are interested in and clarify any associated benefits.
Cascadia will sometimes furnish an alphanumeric code that can be used for promotions on our Web site. These promotional codes may be found in print and/or online advertisements, sent via email to our Newsletter and/or Promotion subscribers, presented on the Cascadia Web site or circulated at events and through other means. Some of the specials offered by entering a Promo Code during checkout include free shipping, volume discounts, free gifts or complimentary Rush Order processing. The provisions for a Promo Code will be included with the code itself; if an expiration date or other condition is stipulated, just reference where you acquired the code for the exact requirements. Please note that Promo Codes are not redeemable for cash and you must spend more than the discount price in order for a promotion to be applied. For example, if a Promo Code offered $10.00 off your next purchase, you would need to spend more than $10.00 to redeem your discount.
Sales tax is only required for orders shipping into states where we have or may have nexus for state tax purposes under applicable laws. Therefore all orders shipping into Washington, will be charged applicable sales tax according to your area's tax rate. Please note that the sales tax for New Jersey and Tennessee orders is calculated based upon the total price of the order, including shipping and handling. The tax imposed by these states on shipping and handling is part of the state sales tax, not a separate tax.
FedEx only offers 2Day or overnight services to Hawaii and Alaska. If you have selected FedEx Saver as your preferred shipping option and attempt to checkout, the shipping method will default to 2Day and you will subsequently be charged accordingly.
Cascadia, like other e-tailers, ships items in the condition they were received from the original manufacturer/distributor.
All merchandise unless otherwise indicated may be returned within 30 days from the original invoice date for a refund. A return authorization number is required for all returns. A 15% restocking fee may apply. These terms apply to all refunds. Most products are shipped with a refund/replacement guarantee period unless otherwise noted in the product listing. Customers must inform Cascadia of any order discrepancy within 7 days from the invoice date so that we may investigate and resolve the situation accordingly.
Cascadia SATISFACTION GUARANTEE - Cascadia offers our customers a 30-day satisfaction replacement or refund guarantee on all purchases, except:
Retail Software may only be returned for refund within 30 days of the invoice date if the packaging is unopened and un-tampered. Opened retail software cannot be returned for refund. If you have opened a retail software purchase to discover a damaged and/or defective disc, you may exchange the software for an identical replacement by contacting Cascadia Customer Service at email@example.com and by acquiring an RMA number. All OEM software including the operating system is 100% non-refundable once purchased and delivered. OEM versions are intended for system builders only and cannot be transferred to another PC once it is installed. Cascadia is not responsible for system/software incompatibility, and incompatibility issues do not qualify software as damaged or defective. Customers are encouraged to contact the respective software publisher for answers to technical questions, such as minimum system requirements, prior to purchase.
Physical damage to any product purchased at Cascadia will effectively void warranty coverage. Improper Installation of CPU fans and/or improper clocking may cause CPUs to chip. CPUs that are chipped, burnt or have bent pins are considered physically damaged and cannot be returned for refund or replacement. Physical damage includes but is not limited to improper handling and/or any other type of damage sustained by irregular usage. Cascadia encounters bent pins regularly when inspecting physically damaged CPUs. Forcing a processor into position will not solve an installation problem and may consequently void any applicable warranty coverage. Intel and AMD will not accept physically damaged processors back from Cascadia. As a result, Cascadia will return any physically damaged CPU back to the customer at the customer's expense.
A 15% restocking fee will be applied to all returns for refund. Shipping charges are non-refundable. No refunds after 30 days.
Marketplace: If you purchase an item from a Cascadia Marketplace seller and need to return it, you must return that item to the Marketplace seller rather than to Cascadia, and the return of that item will be subject to the restocking fee policies of that Marketplace seller rather than those of Cascadia. Check the Seller's Policy Page for the restocking fee policies of individual Marketplace sellers.
Cascadia offers technical assistance for products which are in warranty. We also offer advice on compatibility of items, make product recommendations, provide technical support or sales advice. We post all of the information the manufacturer provides us with for your convenience. Please contact the manufacturer directly for accurate answers to your technical questions or for additional information or specifications that are not posted at Cascadia.
You can expect your order to be processed within approximately 4-7 business days, provided the items are in stock and there are no problems with payment verification. Cascadia does not guarantee same day-shipping. Orders are not processed on weekends and holidays.
Cascadia does not sell backordered merchandise. We will never purposely charge a customer for an item that we do not physically have in stock at the time of purchase. Occasional inventory discrepancies may occur due to inaccurate inventory counts or possibly because the last few items on our shelves are damaged and/or not in a condition that we can sell to a customer. In that instance, we will refund your credit/debit card for the item, along with any applicable tax fees and shipping charges. An automated email will also be sent to your Cascadia login to alert you of the situation.
Cascadia will keep you informed of your order status via e-mail. All tracking information will be emailed to your Cascadia ID once your order has shipped (except when an APO/FPO is the shipping destination). You may also acquire your order status and other live updates by logging in to your account on our Web site.
Security is our number one priority. All on-line transactions are sent through our secure server and encrypted with 128-bit technology. Once we receive your information through the internet, only trusted, authorized employees will process the payment to make sure your information is handled with the utmost level of security.
Cascadia respects your privacy. We will not under any circumstances sell or release your information to anyone except as outlined in our privacy policy. All of the information obtained from our Web site will be used for processing purposes only. The only e-mails you will receive from Cascadia are updates to any recent orders and/or returns.
Fair Credit Billing Act: We guarantee that every online transaction you make will be 100% safe. This means you pay nothing if unauthorized charges are made to your card as a result of shopping at our online store. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, your bank cannot hold you liable for more than $50.00 for fraudulent charges. If your bank does hold you liable for any of this $50.00, we will cover the entire liability for you, up to the full $50.00. We will only cover this liability if the unauthorized use of your credit card resulted through no fault of your own from purchases made while using our secure server. In the event of unauthorized use of your credit card, you must notify your credit card provider in accordance with its reporting rules and procedures.
You may request a change to your order provided the order has not already been charged to your account. Please call 1-888-421-0050 during Cascadia's hours of operation to request a change to your order. Please have your sales order (SO) or customer number ready for better assistance. We strongly discourage sending change order requests via email because it is unlikely we will receive the message in time to make an adjustment due to the sheer volume of emails we receive each day.
You may request that an order be cancelled provided the order has not already been processed and shipped. Simply call 1-888-421-0050 during Cascadia's hours of operation to request an order cancellation. You will receive a credit for the full amount to your credit/debit card in approximately 1-2 business days. We strongly discourage sending order cancellation requests via email because it is unlikely we will receive the message in time to void the order due to the sheer volume of emails we receive each day.
Unfortunately, we do not currently have a reseller or discount program available at this time. Cascadia currently already negotiates the best possible price for you, and offers these great discounts to all of our customers through our Web site. Anytime we receive any specials or promotions, we will immediately post them on our Web site for you to take advantage.
Cascadia does not have a reseller or discount program available at this time. We work hard to negotiate the best values on the Internet and offer these tremendous values to all of our customers via our Web site.

Cascadia strives for accuracy in all item descriptions, photographs, compatibility references, detailed specifications, pricing, links and any other product-related information contained herein or referenced on our Web site. Due to human error and other determinates we cannot guarantee that all item descriptions, photographs, compatibility references, detailed specifications, pricing, links and any other product-related information listed is entirely accurate, complete or current, nor can we assume responsibility for these errors. In the event a product listed on our Web site is labeled with an incorrect price due to some typographical, informational, technical or other error, Cascadia shall at its sole discretion have the right to refuse and/or cancel any order for said product and immediately amend, correct and/or remove the inaccurate information. Additionally, all hyperlinks to other Web sites from Cascadia are provided as resources to customers looking for additional information and/or professional opinion. Cascadia does not assume responsibility for the claims and/or representations made on these or any other Web sites.
Cascadia is not responsible for changes or variations in product specifications and/or physical appearance. In the interest of our customers, Cascadia puts forth its best efforts to ensure that all product information is up-to-date and factual. Unfortunately there are varying determinates which, although infrequent, could cause the information on our Web site to become outdated without our immediate knowledge. This includes but is not limited to new versions or revisions, color deviations, retail package alterations and other variations that may be considered inconsequential by the manufacturer. Cascadia relies on the manufacturer to communicate these differences. Presently we have no way of alerting customers prior to purchase in the event the manufacturer fails to do so. Consequently, Cascadia will not be held responsible for product revision changes.
Cascadia reads all reviews before posting them and reserves the right to deny any review.
Here are some of the things that can cause a review to be denied:
We may change these policies at any time without notice.
By accepting delivery of any product ordered from Cascadia, you ("Customer") agree to be bound by the terms and conditions listed below. You and Cascadia agree that the following terms and conditions are the exclusive terms governing the sales transaction between Customer and Cascadia. Any attempt to alter, supplement, modify or amend these terms and conditions by the Customer will be considered a material alteration of this agreement and, therefore, are null and void. In addition, these terms and conditions are subject to change at any time, without prior written notice. Therefore, please check these terms and conditions carefully each time you place an order with or accept delivery of any goods from Cascadia.
Cascadia offers our Customers a 90-day satisfaction replacement or refund guarantee on all purchases, except:
To take advantage of Cascadia's satisfaction guarantee, the Customer must comply with the Product Return Procedure detailed below. Any breach of Cascadia's Return Policy Procedure will result in the loss of Cascadia's refund/replacement guarantee. Furthermore, all return shipments not in compliance with these instructions will be rejected.
Marketplace: In general, Cascadia Marketplace sellers will honor Cascadia's Satisfaction Guarantee set forth above. However, certain exceptions may apply. Check the Seller's Policy Page for the return policies of individual Marketplace sellers. In the event of a conflict between Cascadia's Satisfaction Guarantee and those on a Seller's Policy Page, the Seller's Policy Page satisfaction guarantee shall apply to your orders from that seller.
Cascadia is a distributor as well as a manufacturer. Some products sold by Cascadia are not manufactered by Cascadia. The products may, however, be covered by each manufacturer's warranty, service, and support policy (if present). Cascadia assigns and passes through to the customer any warranty of the manufacturer, and Customer acknowledges that it shall have recourse only under such warranties and only as against the manufacturer of the products. Cascadia makes no representation or express warranty with respect to the product except those stated in this document. Cascadia disclaims all other warranties, express or implied, as to any such product, including and without limitation, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, and any implied warranties arising from statute, trade usage, course of dealing, or course of performance.
All items sold through Cascadia are sold "as-is" or "with all faults." The entire risk as to the quality and performance of these items is with the buyer. Should any of these items prove defective, do not function, or function improperly in any way following their purchase, the buyer, and not the manufacturer, distributor, or Cascadia, assumes the entire cost of all necessary servicing or repair.
In all circumstances, Cascadia's Maximum Liability is limited to the purchase price of the products sold. Cascadia shall not, under any circumstances, be liable upon a claim or action in contract, tort, indemnity, or contribution, or other claims relating to the products it sells which exceeds this liability limit.

Cascadia does not consent to having any telephone calls recorded and reserves the right to terminate any call that is being recorded. Customer agrees not to record any call with Cascadia unless Customer has provided clear and conspicuous notice to Cascadia and has received prior written consent from Cascadia.
An order is not binding upon Cascadia until it is accepted; Cascadia must receive payment before it will accept an order. Payment for product(s) ordered is due prior to shipment. Customer can make payment by credit card, or some other method prearranged with Cascadia. You agree to pay the amount(s) due as specified on the invoice, and you agree to pay interest on all past-due sums at a rate of 2% per month or the highest rate allowed by law, whichever is greater.
Your total cost for purchase of any product will include the shipping and handling charges shown on your Cascadia invoice. However, your original shipping fees are non-refundable in the case of a returned product. Those fees are paid for the services provided by and to the original carrier, and will not be refunded to you if your item is returned for a refund to Cascadia.
Cascadia will arrange for shipment of ordered product(s) to the Customer, Free On Board (F.O.B.) shipping point, meaning title to the product(s) -- excepting software-- and risk of loss passes to the Customer upon delivery to the carrier. Cascadia reserves a purchase money security interest in the product(s) until its receipt of the full amount due. Customer agrees to allow Cascadia to sign appropriate documents on Customer's behalf to permit Cascadia to protect its purchase money security interest. Title to software will remain with the licensor(s). All software is provided subject to the license agreement of the software maker. Customer agrees to be bound by any software license agreement once the seal on the package is broken. Cascadia will advise Customer of estimated shipping dates, but Cascadia will, under no circumstances, be responsible for delays in delivery, and associated damages, due to events beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation, acts of God or public enemy, acts of federal, state or local government, fire, floods, civil disobedience, strikes, lockouts, and freight embargoes.
Any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms and Conditions or the sales transaction between Cascadia and Customer shall be governed by the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to its conflicts of law rules. Specifically, the validity, interpretation, and performance of this agreement shall not be governed by the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods. Cascadia and Customer consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and the exclusive venue of the State Courts of the State of Washington, Spokane County, to resolve any dispute between them related hereto, and the parities waive all rights to contest this exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such Courts. Finally, the Customer also agrees not to bring any legal action, based upon any legal theory including contract, tort, equity or otherwise, against Cascadia that is more than one year after the date of the applicable invoice.
If any provision contained in this agreement is or becomes invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in whole or in part, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect the remaining provisions and portions of this agreement, and the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision shall be deemed modified so as to have the most similar result that is valid and enforceable under applicable Washington law.
The failure of either party to require performance by the other party of any provision of this agreement shall not affect in any way the first party's right to require such performance at any time thereafter. Any waiver by either party of a breach of any provision in this agreement shall not be taken or held by the other party to be a continuing waiver of that provision unless such waiver is made in writing.
These terms and conditions, together with Cascadia's invoice regarding the products ordered by Customer, are the complete and exclusive agreement between Cascadia and Customer, and they supersede all prior or contemporaneous proposals, oral or written, understandings, representations, conditions, warranties, and all other communications between Cascadia and Customer relating to the subject products. This agreement may not be explained or supplemented by any prior course of dealings or trade by custom or usage.

Lionsgate is teaming up with NBC for Fear Itself, a new 13 episode horror anthology series that is bringing some big name behind the camera talent to the airwaves. In what is essentially a re-vamped Masters of Horror, the horror anthology series that aired on Showtime, NBC hopes to attract viewers with names such as John Landis (American Werewolf in London), Brad Anderson (Session 9), Darren Bousman (Saw II through IV), Ronnie Yu (Freddy Vs. Jason) and Stuart Gordon (Re-Animator).
The series, like Masters will be anthology, showing unconnected self-contained stories each episode, which are directed and written by different teams. Some of the actors already on board include Brandon Routh (Superman Returns), Shiri Appelby (Roswell), John Billingsley (Star Trek: Enterprise) and Eric Roberts (Heroes).
According to NBC, some of the episodes will be as follows:
"Community" is directed by Mary Harron (American Psycho) and written by Kelly Kennemer (The Music Within). When a young married couple, played by Routh and Appleby, find the perfect house in the perfect neighborhood, their lives seem...well...perfect. But as the dark underbelly of their neighborhood creeps to the surface, they soon realize that their neighbors will go to any extreme -- even murder -- to make sure that they comply with their twisted sense of conformity. John Billingsley also stars.
"New Year's Day" will be directed by Darren Bousman, and is written by Steve Niles (30 Days of Night) from a story by Paul Kane. A young woman wakes up in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by horrifying zombies.
"Family Man" will be directed by Ronny Yu and is written by Dan Knauf (Carnivàle, Supernatural). This action-charged, psychological thriller focuses on a likeable family man who switches bodies with a serial killer after a near-death experience. Now, he must fight from behind bars to keep the murderer from adding his family to the long list of victims.

I met this guy recently at a cousins wedding and I've met him 2 years ago. We talked briefly back then and briefly at the wedding. He kissed me at the wedding and I stopped him there to find out what's on his mind. I made it clear to him that I'm looking for a serious relationship and he said he was too but he barely knows me. I told him that he could get to know me better. But he lives half way across the world and long distance is not something he was interested in at that moment. The next day he messaged me and told me that he wanted to try even though the distance is annoying. He mentioned that he would come visit me soon. We have been messaging here and there and 2 days ago he suggested we Skype. I told him that I was free this weekend and he said that Sunday would work for him. I told him great! Let me know what time works for you (since he is 10hours ahead). I haven't heard back from him at all this weekend (Its Monday today). I don't know what's going on in his head. Is he interested or not? Should I message him?
What should I do?
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 1
I think it's a lost cause.. half way around the world... Wants to Skype but stands you up already? He'll probably want the Skype to turn sexual by the 2 or 3 one.00|00|0

Wealth Redistribution by captainclarkWatch
©2012-2017 captainclark
Wealth distribution under the current system. When people say there against wealth redistribution what they really mean is they are opposed to changing the direction of the flow.
They are perfectly happy with the current system of moving the wealth from the poor to the rich.
They are perfectly happy with the current system of moving the wealth from the poor to the rich.
well done. money never "trickles down" in our economy. it rises up like cream on the backs of the workers, there to be skimmed away in droves to destinations and purposes beyond our desires, imaginations, or control.
The poor toil away, and the wealth they create gets stolen by the wealthy as a tribute for the use of property that they only got off of others hard work to begin with. I like the I.W.W.'s new slogan, "Next time some one says they got their through hard, work, ask who's."
poor guy
I am in a little dismay because of when that was writeen ....and the fact it still applies today - in the 21rst century.
my thoughts exactly. initially i didn't see the date of the speech and thought it was recent...
Very relevant
...this is why I hate people...
Exactly. That's what it is. Because we do have a redistribution of wealth and it's from the poor to the rich.

We had a really wonderful stay - Wendy and her partner are very friendly and made us feel very welcome. The space is very roomy and completely private, and it was lovely to have a proper drying room for boots and coats etc. The location is great, we were able to do a lot of exploring on foot, and Wendy has kindly provided maps and walk guides. I'd highly recommend stopping in at the farm shop in Airton on your way there - we didn't visit it until the day before we left, and wish we had gone sooner as there is lots of lovely local produce etc. I would visit Wendy again in a heartbeat, and recommend giving yourself several days to explore the area.Katie2016-07-08T00:00:00Z
Lovely stay at Windy Pike! Wendy had thought of everything :-)Nadine2016-01-05T00:00:00Z
Wendy's cottage is quite simply in one of the most beautiful areas of England - and the cottage itself is lovely, too. Both Wendy and Gordon were very welcoming. Highly recommended!Jamie2017-03-21T00:00:00Z
Perfect week in beautiful Yorkshire, the loft was perfect, gave us everything we wanted and more. Would definitely return.Kate2016-10-07T00:00:00Z
A lovely apartment, just as described in a remote and stunning area. Very comfortable and well equipped. Wendy and Gordon were welcoming and informative. There are walks straight from the door but do be warned it is a very steep hill up to the apartment. A bit too steep for a walk back from the pub (nearest is about 1 mile away) for most I would think! WiFi didn't work at all whilst there, but not essential for us.Nicky2015-10-13T00:00:00Z
Unfortunately I did not get to meet Wendy, but her son was there to show me around. The apartment is great, very clean and well appointed - I was so happy to find an adapter for EU plugs in one of the drawers, as I had forgotten to bring one. As the weather was a bit challenging during my stay, I was all the more happy to be at a place that was warm and cosy. I managed to squeeze in a walk to Malham and spectacular Malham Cove between rain showers, starting right from my doorsteps, and apparently there are plenty more great opportunities for walks in the area. With the weather as it was I went for the Haworth Bronte museum and the Burnley textile museum instead - both easy drives and well worth visiting. I had a very pleasant stay and can really recommend the apartment and its amazing views.Regina2016-08-22T00:00:00Z
This is a stunning apartment at a stunning location. Wendy welcomed us in person with helpful information of the local area. She was also very quick with all email communication. This apartment, in a renovated barn on a farm , is well equipped with all amenities needed. The scenery is amazing over the Mulham area.Helen and Darryl2016-07-16T00:00:00Z
We really enjoyed our stay at Windy Pike - the location was amazing with spectacular views. The apartment was a great size for 2 people and beautifully clean when we arrived. It had all that we needed for self catering and a lovely hot shower which was welcome after a long day of walking. Wendy and Gordon made us feel welcome straight away and showed us around - they also gave us some great advice on the surrounding area. The apartment is in a great location with immediate access to the Penine Way - so perfect for walkers! It is only a 10 minute walk to the nearest pub in Kirby Malham and Malham is only a 20 minute walk across the fields. We will be back to the dales again! thank you Wendy and Gordon!Philippa2015-09-01T00:00:00Z

It is a perfect location if you want to live an authentic Yorkshire experience. The breakfast is good and the surroundings are excellent. The host is kind. It is definitely a nice place to relax and disconnect from the outside world.Bernat2016-05-19T00:00:00Z
Easy to find / room was great / bathroom was lovely / beautiful locationJustine2016-08-07T00:00:00Z
Bridget was a great host. She was very hospitable and made sure we had everything we needed. House was warm, comfortable and great location to explore the Yorkshire dales. Dogs were very friendly and breakfast provided was great.Jamie2016-10-25T00:00:00Z
Unfortunately mis-communication and poor WiFi access meant that we were unable to get into our accommodation when we arrived. Consequently we had to book rooms elsewhere, so I'm unable to fairly review the accommodation provided. Bridget did however refund a portion of the cost which went some way to covering our extra costs. I would have preferred that this review wasn't made public because I don't want it to reflect badly on Bridget's BnBJillian2016-08-15T00:00:00Z
We had a lovely stay at Bridget's - very friendly and welcoming. Both dogs were very well behaved and lovely! The house was spotless and very comfortable. Would highly recommend.Cassie2016-08-22T00:00:00Z
Een mooi huis in een prachtige landelijke omgeving, mooie kamer, mooi uitzicht en een fantastische grote badkamer. We voelden ons welkom en alles was zoals beschreven op de lijst. Lokale pub op slechts een paar deuren verderop dat voorzag stevige huisgemaakte gerechten zonder te hoeven nergens heen te rijden. Ligt me goed voor de Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge de volgende dag!David2016-09-25T00:00:00Z
Bridget and her family was very welcoming. The house is beautiful, rooms were comfortable, facilities great and we were made to feel at home. We were staying for an evening for a wedding nearby, and after a meal in the local pub and a few beverages, Bridget even drove us down to the wedding venue. Couldn't ave asked for a more pleasant stay. Thanks again.Christopher2016-05-30T00:00:00Z

The house was very comfortable. We had access to everything for cooking and relaxing. It was in a very quiet hamlet and pitch dark at night. We were able to sleep so well.Irene2014-11-02T00:00:00Z
Jeg tilbragte en uge med min datter og hendes kæreste på Coraline hytte. Det var en stor oplevelse. Alt i sommerhuset havde et personligt præg, og selv mødte vi aldrig Caroline, vi kunne lære meget om hendes grund til så mange fantastiske bøger, souvenirs fra forskellige ture rundt i verden.Slavica2014-08-26T00:00:00Z
County Cottage was the perfect base for three days walking. The location is lovely and the cottage is comfortable and well equipped.Piers2015-08-30T00:00:00Z
Dette charmerende sommerhus er ideel for at besøge Dales. Smukke vandreture fra huset. Denne ene er meget veludstyret, Caroline har alt for komfort af sine gæster. Naboer også meget venlige og imødekommende. Vi har haft ophold.Marie Pierre2015-08-09T00:00:00Z
My wife and I stayed in Cosy Cottage for a week. Our host Caroline was not able to meet us, but her contact with us before our arrival and during our stay made everything easy. The cottage is as presented and had all that was needed to make our stay very comfortable. WiFi worked a treat. Mobile phone coverage is tricky, but that was the case throughout the Dales. A wonderful little village, with many great walks accessible just near the cottage. I thoroughly recommend Cosy Cottage, you will enjoy the experience.Anthony2017-04-29T00:00:00Z
Lovely place, and Caroline was great to deal with. Unfortunately we had a family illness and we needed to leave a day early, but I could have stayed for another month! It was great to be home again and to have to opportunity to live in a wonderful house and community. The neighbours and local pub were very inviting too. Highly recommended.Germaine2016-07-30T00:00:00Z
Caroline was away while we stayed at the cottage but she made sure we had all the info we needed and all went smoothly. We loved the cottage, it had everything we needed. It is situated on the edge of a road which does get quite busy with tourists heading to Malham cove but you soon get used to that. The village has a medieval church, a pub, friendly neighbours and is very quiet once the tourists have gone home. Nicely situated for seeing the Dales. The road to Settle was a favourite with magnificent views, beautiful highland cattle and for watching the sunset.Liz2016-06-08T00:00:00Z
Jeg bookede County House for min mand og mine to sønner, som er i 30'erne. De havde truet med at gå til Yorkshire Dales sammen til kvart århundrede og til sidst gjort det. Huset er en behagelig, lille, ultimo terrasse stenhus, beliggende i den attraktive landsby Kirkby Malham og blev bygget i midten af det 18. århundrede for Yorkshireman der ikke er helt så høje dengang som de er i dag. Der var kun to soveværelser, så sønnerne måtte dele. Huset blev indrettet i en noget finurlig, men ikke uinteressant mode og havde en lang have med masser af opholdsstue. Lidt underligt var, at Astro turf var blevet erstattet af en græsplæne. Men en søn købte en lille fad øl fra Edinburgh, som de drak i haven; atmosfæren var så godt som enhver pub besøgte i pausen. Indvendigt nogle af de lette switche var omkring 60 år, men man det indtryk, at dette var bevidst. Rigelig opbevaringsplads og køleskabe blev forudsat for at sikre, at kun ét besøg var forpligtet til Skipton supermarkeder. County House beliggenhed giver nem adgang til Malham geologiske attraktioner og er et fremragende sted hvorfra at besøge resten af Yorkshire Dales. Maureen der er nøglering var meget nyttigt og chatty og gjort tingene meget let for os. Afslutningsvis begge drengene sagde, at de håber at returnere engang denne sommer med deres respektive partnere og børn, hvilket indikerer at de havde en god tid!alisuin2014-07-16T00:00:00Z

On arrival we met Jane and John and were shown around the property. Everything was explained and John kindly sorted out an extension lead to enable our friends to recharge their mobility scooter. The house was well furnished, warm, plenty of towels and comfortable beds. Airton is a lovely dales village, 2 miles or so from Malham Cove and Tarn, which can be seen from the local farm shop and tea room, which we thoroughly recommended. Skipton not far away. location ideal for short walks.sarah2016-10-29T00:00:00Z
It was great to stay at Jane's place, everything was as described. Jane made us feel welcom. We recommend it to anyone and hopefully we ll visit Airton again;)Katarzyna2016-05-03T00:00:00Z
Stayed for a night after a wedding. Jane came to meet us to help us find the place which was very nice of her at 1:30am. Lovely spacious house with all amenities in good condition. Even a nice piano, board games and some good dvds. Photos dont really do the property justice. Highly recommend. Many thanks! (PS, take your own towels if you're staying a while as there are only a few there).Andy2014-09-14T00:00:00Z
Jane was wonderful and the property was perfect for our needs. The beds were comfortable, the shower was fab, and the surrounding area was so peaceful and quiet. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Jane for being such a lovely host!Sara2017-04-09T00:00:00Z

Ein toller Aufenthalt in einer fantastischen Lage. Joe war wirklich hilfreich unserer Ankunft in der Organisation und nicht mehr höflich gewesen sein könnte. Das Haus war charmant und ein ausgezeichnetes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis - (! Und eine Flasche Wein) viele nette Details wie die Bereitstellung von Geschirrspülmittel-Tabletten und Tücher. Der Mangel an mobilen Empfang und Internet war eine gute Sache, wie wir Spiele gespielt, sah Filme, Bücher lesen und richtig entspannt! Fünf Minuten Fahrt zum Malham, wo man auf die Bucht und Gordale Narbe gehen kann. Der Hofladen zwei Minuten zu Fuß entfernt eignet sich auch hervorragend für Tee oder Mittagessen. Dank Joe.Molly2016-04-04T00:00:00Z

The apartment was just as described and perfectly comfortable, clean and warm with everything we needed for our 3-day stay. We appreciated the welcoming bottle of very nice wine too. And what a gorgeous location! The wonderful River Aire right outside our windows, together with the pretty garden, we were enchanted right from the start. We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.Jennie2016-04-29T00:00:00Z
Joe's place was spotlessly clean and really peaceful and quiet. We slept really well in the king-size bed and the sofas were lovely to sink into after a day's walking. It is a great location for walking, close enough to the A roads that link the towns and it was great to have a hot bath after a hike! It could be vastly improved by modernising the place a bit, e.g. Installing WiFi, having a TV that works, and some small attention to detail would have really made us feel welcome for example providing milk in a place where there's no shop to get any (we had to get straight back in the car after a 4 hour drive and then drive 15 minutes to Gargrave, the nearest convenience store to pick up some basics which are always provided at other air bnb's), also providing a dvd player with no DVDs when the Tv didn't work was a bit annoying, and a lovely bath with no bubble bath and no shower gel either. It was thoughtful to provide the wine but milk, shower gel, DVDs and more thoughtful additions like the ones above would have been much better received. The evenings were a bit long with no TV, WiFi or things to do. There's no pub in Aireton and no places to eat. The nearest is Malham which you had to drive to. The flat was comfortable but the lack of mod cons means we wouldn't stay again sadly. There was no way to reach Joe when we realised the TV didn't work as there's no phone signal or internet. Also the bathroom is brand new but the shower is not a power one. It's a lovely place to stay if you don't mind being completely cut off in every way, I'd advise bringing along DVDs, games and plenty of your own food including all basics such as milk, bread, butter, shower gel etc as nothing is provided. Other than that it's a beautiful location.Jen2017-04-19T00:00:00Z

Had a lovely stay in Kirkby Malham. Lots of great walking around and Bridget gave some good recommendations for places to visit and places to eat in the evening. Room was lovely and comfortable. Bathroom was just opposite the room. Breakfast was lovely. Only point was the walls were a bit thin and we could hear the other guests but this didn't detract from our stay.Marie 2017-04-17T00:00:00Z

The house was perfect and we had a very lovely Christmas there. Jesca wasn't there to meet us but she gave perfect instructions on how to get to and access the house. Everything is lovely and clean and there was everything we needed in terms of cooking and cleaning. Thanks so much and hopefully we can come back in the summer!Yazzmin2015-12-26T00:00:00Z

Brilliant stay. The property was superb! Quiet & peaceful. We never needed to contact Jesca during our stay, but she was always there if required. Would definitely stay there again.Paul2016-10-06T00:00:00Z
What a beautiful property and location, we found a little gem with this place. The accommodation was well equipped in a gorgeous rural location. Would definitely recommend and stay again. The sorrounding Yorkshire Dales has stunning scenery and some cracking Inns serving food to a really high standard with the locals making you feel welcome.paul2016-10-11T00:00:00Z

Bruce made us very welcome on our arrival and showed us around. Little problems that arose were promptly and cheerfully dealt with. The 'Bod Pod' is ideal for two. The kitchen is well equipped and we cooked most of our own meals. The tiny bathroom works well and has an excellent shower. The weather was cool when we were there but there was heating available. Bruce and Naomi have a very attractive and peaceful garden good for sitting out in warm weather. Otterburn is a very small and quiet farming community with very little passing traffic.John2015-06-27T00:00:00Z
We wanted (and needed!!) to get away from it all and the Bodpod didn't disappoint! It is absolutely wonderful: private, tastefully designed and every detail thoughtfully prepared to make your stay enjoyable and relaxing. The host Bruce and his daughter were extremely welcoming and friendly, but gave enough privacy as desired. The scones were a lovely idea!! The Bodpod is close to Malham, Skipton and local villages. It is set in the beautiful hamlet of Otterburn. We will definitely be back!!Stuart2017-05-14T00:00:00Z
Thank you Bruce and Naomi for a lovely stay! The space is beautiful and the pictures don't do it justice. I love to come back again. My only complaint is that we didn't have enough time to fully explore the area!Elizabeth2017-04-17T00:00:00Z
布鲁斯和纳奥米都非常友好和交际领导到我们的住宿。 不幸的是,由于紧急情况,我们从来就没有向董事会荚,但他们住在不断的沟通和是绝对辉煌。这真的帮助他们如何了解和友好是我们已经紧张的局面。 我们真的很期待真正使它尽快出现。Jason2016-05-02T00:00:00Z
We had a lovely stay at the Bod Pod. The accommodation is really nicely decorated, very cosy and great value. Bruce made us feel very welcome and gave us some restaurant recommendations. We only had time to try one of them but it was a great place (Bollywood Cottage in Gargrave). Bruce and Naomi have a beautiful garden which is perfect for relaxing in after a busy day's sightseeing. The location is ideal for exploring the Yorkshire Dales; Malham Cove and Gordale Scar are ten minutes drive away, as is plenty of other dales to free roam on. There is a farm shop just around the corner and more shops within a short drive. Overall we would highly recommend a stay at the Bod Pod and hope to return for another visit at some point!Tom2015-04-07T00:00:00Z
We arrived in the cozy home and loved the welcome note and the fresh flowers. The house is extremely well equipped! We highly appreciated the extensive "food-survival-package" that was at our disposal. That together with a practical kitchen with all the usable herbs, oils, coffee, tea, sugar etc made that we felt at home directly after we arrived. We stayed 5 days and prepared most of our meals at there. The rest of the house was also clean, well decorated, with a very good bed and a good bathroom with nicely hot running water. Lots of information about the area, stable wifi. The heating was more than sufficient too. We would highly recommend this little hidden jewel.Timmy2014-10-02T00:00:00Z
Naomi welcomed us within minutes of arriving and we appreciated her attentiveness and interest in us, our home town and the journey north. Without any fuss, or grandiose welcome, Fiona helped us to settle straightaway, with an explanation and outline of the property and how the 'Bod Pod' is. We especially liked the lack of a full, guided tour; this meant we could explore upstairs at our leisure. The Bod Pod is an excellent, cosy, quiet and perfectly located base for a break in the Yorkshire Dales. We spent most of our time out exploring Malhamdale. Time in the Bod Pod was lovely and the attention to detail was superb; for example, the organic olive oil, selection of teas and fresh coffee, muesli and honey.Gill2016-04-25T00:00:00Z
After a long drive this was the perfect little Yorkshire Dales hide away. It contains all the character of the area with easy access to walks and short drive to Malham/Gordale. The owners were very helpful keeping us informed and helping with our arrival.Olly2016-09-26T00:00:00Z

VAT rates, flat rate for farmers, property holding funds, excise duties, climate change, "old reliables", micro-breweries and sugar tax.
The minister confirmed the continuation of the 9% reduced rate of VAT which was first introduced in 2011 to promote the Irish tourism sector and was extended indefinitely in 2014. The rate applies to a range of goods and services principally in the tourism and hospitality sector, including restaurant and catering services, hotel accommodation, newspapers and admissions to cinemas, museums and other attractions. The minister noted that although the current economic rationale for retaining the rate may not be as strong as when it was first introduced, its retention will act as a buffer for the sector against the weakness in sterling and increased costs of holidaying in Ireland for British tourists.
There are no changes to the scope of the goods and services falling within the 0% rate, 13.5% reduced rate or 23% standard rate of VAT. There had been pre-Budget speculation of potential changes to the VAT rates in other sectors, most notably a potential reduction in VAT on the supply of newly built residential accommodation, but these have not come to pass.
The flat rate addition payable to farmers who are not VAT registered will increase from 5.2% to 5.4% with effect from 1 January 2017. The flat rate scheme compensates unregistered farmers for irrecoverable VAT on their purchases.
The minister's speech referred to his previously announced intention to amend the corporation tax regime applying to 'Section 110 companies' and other funds engaged in activities relating to Irish property. While any such corporation tax amendments should not directly impact on the VAT exemption for the management of qualifying funds including Section 110 companies, the VAT implications should be considered in respect of any reorganisation or alternative structuring of current or future property transactions.
A number of the minister's proposals in the area of excise duties are intended to incentivise lower carbon alternatives to traditional fuels.
These include:
The excise duty on a packet of 20 cigarettes will increase by 50 cent (including VAT) with a pro-rata increase on other tobacco products with effect from midnight of 11 October 2016 (i.e. from Budget night). This measure is estimated to generate an additional €65 million in revenue during 2017.
There are no changes to excise duty on alcohol products (except for the microbreweries relief referred to below), petrol or diesel.
The current 50% relief to the standard rate of Alcohol Products Tax on beers made in microbreweries which produce not more than 30,000 hectolitres per annum is being extended. The relief will apply to microbreweries which produce not more than 40,000 hectolitres annually.
The minister announced plans to introduce a tax on sugar-sweetened drinks (a 'sugar tax') in 2018, following a public consultation in the coming months.
The proposal follows a global trend towards taxing drinks with a high sugar content as a means of tackling obesity, diabetes and other health risks. Sugar tax regimes are already in place in a number of jurisdictions, including France, Hungary, Norway, Finland, certain US states and Mexico. Interestingly, Denmark had a sugar tax regime for many years but repealed it in 2014 due to leakages in exchequer revenue arising from illegal and crossborder sales.
Perhaps reflecting the Danish experience, and given the integrated production and supply chains between Ireland and the UK, our measures and timing are to be aligned with the proposed UK sugar tax regime, with a suggested implementation date of April 2018. Significant details remain to be determined, including the rate and basis of computation and administration.
The minister launched a public consultation on the practical implementation of the tax, based on Department of Health proposals, which will remain open until 3 January 2017. The proposals are to apply the sugar tax to water-based and juice-based drinks which have an added sugar content of 5 grams/100ml and above. This threshold is intended to exclude the following from the scope of tax: pure fruit juices, low sugar soft drinks (e.g. diet drinks) and all dairy-based sugar-sweetened drinks. The proposals also apply only to pre-packaged drinks.
An equivalent UK consultation regarding drinks with added sugar (but excluding pure fruit juices and milk-based drinks) has been ongoing since August and closes on 13 October 2016. The UK rate of sugar tax is proposed to be £0.18 per litre where the sugar content is above 5 grams/100ml and £0.24 per litre where the added sugar content is above 8 grams/100ml. We can expect Ireland to closely follow the outcome of the UK consultation, and to take account of the implementation difficulties experienced elsewhere, including potential EU legal challenges.
Budget 2017 is the second budget in a row where the choices have been about how to distribute benefits; read our professional tax analysis.

I almost missed these breaking news – for the first time ever a female runner has won a unisex marathon. Meaning she won not only over all other women but also over all men:
In a surprising and inspiring race, a female first-time marathon runner won the 2013 LA Marathon. Aleksandra Duliba, a 27-year-old woman from Belarus, was the first runner, male or female, to cross the finish line.
She won $25,000 for being the fastest woman and an additional $50,000 for "beating the top men's finisher".
Aleksandra ran the marathon in 2 hours, 26 minutes and 8 seconds. The fastest man, Erick Mose of Kenya, could only finish in 2 hours, 9 minutes and 43 seconds.
Now some readers would wonder how Aleksandra could win the race when Erick was 16 minutes faster. Well, stop being so ridiculous, will you! It's not the speed that matters, it's the one who "crosses the finish line" first who is the winner. And since the women got a 18 minutes and 35 seconds head start, Aleksandra was the first person, male or female, to "cross the finish line" – hence this historic piece of news.
For the next marathon, why don't they give women a full hour head start, maybe it will be even more "surprising and inspiring" to see that many hundreds of women can beat even the fastest man in a sports event.
On a more serious note: If I was Aleksandra I would be furious. 2 hours, 26 minutes and 8 seconds is a fantastic time to run a marathon. Why diminish such an amazing achievement by this silly play with words.
