executive agency
An independent agency, operating under a chief executive, that is responsible for delivering a service according to the policy of a central government department. Examples are the Benefits Agency and the Passport Agency. The intention is that central government should become purely policymaking, the services it is responsible for being delivered by executive agencies.
A person appointed by a will to administer the testator's estate. A deceased person's property is vested in his executors, who are empowered to deal with it as directed by the will from the time of the testator's death. They must, however, usually obtain a grant of *probate from the court in order to prove the will and their right to deal with the estate. Appointment as an executor confers only the power to deal with the deceased's property in accordance with his will, and not beneficial ownership, although an executor may also be a beneficiary under the will.
Compare administrator.
executor de son tort
(French: by his own wrongdoing)
A person who deals (intermeddles) with a deceased person's assets without the authority of the rightful personal representatives or of the court. He is answerable to the rightful personal representatives and to the creditors of the estate for any acts done without such authority and for any assets of the estate that come into his hands.
executor's year
The period of a year, starting from the death of the deceased, within which nobody can compel his personal representatives to distribute the estate, even if the testator has directed payment of a legacy before the expiry of that period (Administration of Estates Act 1925).
Remaining to be done. A contract that has yet to be carried out is said to be an executory contract, and *consideration that has still to be given for a contract is described as executory consideration.
See also executory interest; executory trust.
Compare executed.
executory interest
(mainly historical)
An interest in property that arises or passes to a particular person on the occurrence of a specified event. For example, when property is settled in trust "for A, but for B if he marries Mary", then B has an executory interest. Under the Law of Property Act 1925 executory interests in land can only exist as equitable interests.
Compare remainder; reversion.
executory trust
(imperfect trust, incompletely constituted trust) A trust that is incomplete, i.e. one that the beneficiaries are unable to enforce until some further act is done by the settlor or a third party.
Compare executed trust.
exemplary damages
(punitive damages, vindictive damages) Damages given to punish the defendant rather than (or as well as) to compensate the claimant for harm done. Such damages are exceptional in tort, since the general rule is that damages are given only to compensate for loss caused. They can be awarded in some tort actions: (1) when expressly authorized by statute; (2) to punish oppressive, arbitrary, or unconstitutional acts by government servants; (3) when the defendant has deliberately calculated that the profits to be made out of committing a tort (e.g. by publishing a defamatory book) may exceed the damages at risk. In such cases, exemplary damages are given to prove that "tort does not pay". Exemplary damages cannot be given for breach of contract.
exemption clause
A term in a contract purporting to exclude or restrict the liability of one of the parties in specified circumstances. The courts do not regard exemption clauses with favour. If such a clause is ambiguous, they will interpret it narrowly rather than widely. If an exclusion or restriction is not recited in a formal contract but is specified or referred to in an informal document, such as a ticket or a notice displayed in a hotel, it will not even be treated as a term of the contract (unless reasonable steps were taken to bring it to the notice of the person affected at the time of contracting). The Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 and Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999 contain complex provisions limiting the extent to which a person can exclude or restrict his *business liability towards consumers. In addition, the 1977 Act subjects certain types of exemption clause to a test of reasonableness, even in a business-to-business transaction. The Office of Fair Trading runs an unfair terms unit to monitor such clauses and enforce the 1999 Regulations. Other statutes forbidding the exclusion or restriction of particular forms of liability are the Defective Premises Act 1972, the Consumer Protection Act 1987, and the Road Traffic Act 1988.
See also exclusion and restriction of negligence liability; international supply contract.
exempt supply
A supply that is outside the scope of *value-added tax. Examples include sales of land, the supply of certain financial and insurance services, and the services performed in the course of employment.
See also zero-rated supply.
A certificate issued by a host state that admits and accords recognition to the official status of a *consul, authorizing him to carry out consular functions in that country. The sending state grants the consular official a commission or patent, which authorizes the consul to represent his state's interests within the host state.
ex gratia
Done as a matter of favour. An ex gratia payment is one not required to be made by a legal duty.
exhaustion of local remedies
The rule of customary international law that when an *alien has been wronged, all municipal remedies available to the injured party in the host country must have been pursued before the alien appeals to his own government to intervene on his behalf. This is a customary precondition to any *espousal of claim by a state on behalf of a national based upon foreign soil.
exhaustion of rights
A free-trade principle which holds that, once goods are put on the market, owners of *intellectual property rights in those goods, who made the goods or allowed others to do so under their rights, may not use national intellectual property rights to prevent an import or export of the goods. Within the EU these rules derive from Articles 28-30 (formerly 30-36) of the Treaty of Rome.
See also free movement.
1. n.
A physical object or document produced in a court, shown to a witness who is giving evidence, or referred to in an *affidavit. Exhibits are marked with an identifying number, and in jury trials the jury is normally permitted to take exhibits with them when they retire to consider their verdict. Physical objects produced for the inspection of the court (e.g. a murder weapon) are referred to as *real evidence.
2. vb. To refer to an object or document in an *affidavit.
ex nudo pacto non oritur actio
See consideration.
ex officio
(Latin: By virtue of holding an office).
Thus, the Lord Chief Justice is ex officio a member of the Court of Appeal.
ex officio information
A criminal information laid by the Attorney General on behalf of the Crown. It was abolished in 1967.
See Laying an information.
ex officio magistrate
A magistrate by virtue of holding some other office, usually that of mayor of a city or borough. Most ex officio magistrateships were abolished by the Justices of the Peace Act 1968 and the Administration of Justice Act 1973, but High Court judges are justices of the peace ex officio for the whole of England and Wales and the Lord Mayor and aldermen are justices ex officio for the City of London.
ex parte
1. On the part of one side only. Since the introduction of the *Civil Procedure Rules in 1999, this phrase is no longer used in civil proceedings, having been replaced by without notice.
See without notice application.
2. On behalf of. This term is used in the headings of law reports together with the name of the person making the application to the court in the case in question.
A person's voluntary action of living outside his native country, either permanently or during his employment abroad, whereby he renounces or loses allegiance to his former state of nationality.
Compare deportation.
expectant heir

expert opinion
See opinion evidence.
Expiring Laws Continuance Acts
Statutes formerly passed annually to continue in force for a further year a number of miscellaneous Acts that were originally stated to remain in force for one year only. The renewal of temporary statutes is now effected individually.
Any substance made in order to achieve an explosion that causes damage or destruction or intended to be used in that way by a person who possesses it. If someone committing *burglary has an explosive with him, he is guilty of aggravated burglary, punishable with a maximum of life imprisonment. The Explosive Substances Act 1883 creates special offences of (1) causing an explosion that is likely to endanger life or cause serious damage to property (even if no harm or damage is actually done); (2) attempting to cause such an explosion; and (3) making or possessing an explosive with the intention of using it to endanger life or to seriously damage property. Under the Offences Against the Person Act 1861, it is an offence to injure anyone by means of an explosion, to send or deliver an explosive to anyone, or to place an explosive near a building, ship, or boat with the intention of causing physical injury. These crimes cover most acts of *terrorism.
export bans
Anticompetitive practices (*anticompetitive practices) that have the effect of banning the resale of products from one EU territory in another state of the EU. Export bans have long been held to infringe the competition rules in *Article 81 of the Treaty of Rome; they can lead the European Commission to levy fines of up to 10% of annual worldwide group turnover. Examples of practices that infringe the rules include clauses in contracts banning exports; an export ban in a written contract will be void when Article 81 applies. However, when the *vertical agreements regulation 2790/99 applies it is permitted to restrict an exclusive distributor from actively soliciting sales outside its territory. It is not permissible to prevent a distributor from advertising on a website as this is regarded as 'passive' rather than 'active' selling. In addition, practices that have the effect of bolstering or imposing an export ban are forbidden, including buying up all *parallel imports, marking products solely for the purposes of tracing them to stop parallel importation, and sending faxes to, or otherwise putting pressure on, dealers not to engage in parallel importation.
ex post facto
(Latin: by a subsequent act)
Describing any legal act, such as a statute, that has retrospective effect.
expressio unius est exe/usio alterius
See interpretation of statutes.
express term
A provision of a contract, agreed to by the parties, that is either written or spoken. Such a provision may be classified as a *condition, a *warranty, or an *innominate term.
Compare implied term.
express trust
A trust created expressly by the settlor, i.e. by stating directly his intention to create a trust. There is no need for formal words provided that the intention to create a trust is clear from the documents or from the oral statements of the settlor, but most express trusts are contained in documents that have been professionally drafted.
Compare implied trust.
The taking by the state of private property for public purposes, normally without compensation (Compare compulsory purchase, which carries with it a right to compensation). The right to expropriate is known in some legal systems as the right of eminent domain. In the UK, expropriation requires statutory authority except in time of war or apprehended war (See Royal prerogative).
ex proprio motu
(ex mero motu)
(Latin: of his own motion)
Describing acts that a court may perform on its own initiative and without any application by the parties.
The termination by a state of an alien's legal entry and right to remain. This is often based upon the ground that the alien is considered undesirable or a threat to the state.
extended sentence
A sentence longer than the maximum prescribed for a particular offence, which was formerly imposed on persistent offenders under certain circumstances. The power to impose extended sentences was abolished by the Criminal Justice Act 1991.
The cessation or cancellation of some right or interest. For example, an *easement is extinguished if the dominant and servient tenements come into the same ownership. Mere *non-user of an easement, however, will not cause it to be extinguished unless an intention to abandon it can be shown.
A common-law offence committed by a public officer who uses his position to take money or any other benefit that is not due to him. If he obtains the benefit by means of menaces, this may also amount to blackmail.
The surrender by one state to another of a person accused of committing an offence in the latter. Extradition from the UK relates to surrender to foreign states (Compare fugitive offender) and is governed by the Extradition Act 1989. There must be an *extradition treaty between the UK and the state requiring the surrender. The offence alleged must be a crime in the UK as well as in the requesting state, it must be both covered by the treaty and within the list of extraditable offences contained in the Act itself, and it must not be of a political character.
See also double criminality.
extradition treaty
A treaty under the terms of which a state agrees to deport a fugitive criminal (or suspect) to the state where the offence was committed or to the fugitive's state of nationality (See extradition). In the latter case the crime in question must be one that is a breach of the municipal law of the national committed outside the territorial boundaries of the state of which he is a citizen. Extradition treaties are bilateral in character and there is a lack of uniformity in their provisions and in their interpretation. However, they invariably contain the following three features: (1) the state that has custody will not surrender the fugitive unless prima facie evidence of his guilt is submitted to them; (2) no political offenders will be surrendered; (3) no surrender will be made unless adequate assurances are given that the accused will not on that occasion be tried for any offence other than the crime for which he is surrendered.
extrajudicial divorce
A divorce granted outside a court of law by a nonjudicial process (such as a *ghet or a *talaq). An extrajudicial divorce will not be recognized in the UK if it takes place in the UK, Channel Islands, or Isle of Man.
See also overseas divorce.
extraordinary general meeting
Any meeting of company members other than the *annual general meeting (See also general meeting). Except when the meeting is for the passing of a *special resolution, 14 days' written notice must be given (7 days suffices in the case of an unlimited company). Only *special business can be transacted. Such a meeting can be convened by the directors at their discretion or by company members who either hold not less than 10% of the paid-up voting shares (See call) or, in companies without a share capital (See limited company; unlimited company), represent not less than 10%of the voting rights.
extraordinary resolution
A decision reached by a majority of not less than 75% of company members voting in person or by proxy at a general meeting. It is appropriate in situations specified by the Companies Act 1985, e.g. *voluntary winding-up. At least 14 days' notice must be given of the intention to propose an extraordinary resolution; if the resolution is to be proposed at the annual general meeting, 21 days' notice is required.
A theory in international law explaining *diplomatic immunity on the basis that the premises of a foreign mission form a part of the territory of the sending state. This theory is not accepted in English law (thus a divorce granted in a foreign embassy in England is not obtained outside the British Isles for purposes of the Recognition of Divorces Act 1971). Diplomatic immunity is based either on the theory that the diplomatic mission personifies - and is entitled to the immunities of - the sending state or on the practical necessity of such immunity for the functioning of diplomacy.
extrinsic evidence
Evidence of matters not referred to in a document offered in evidence to explain, vary, or contradict its meaning. Its admissibility is governed by the *parol evidence rule.
ex turpi causa non oritur actio
(Latin: no action can be based on a disreputable cause)
The principle that the courts may refuse to enforce a claim arising out of the claimant's own illegal or immoral conduct or transactions. Hence parties who have knowingly entered into an *illegal contract may not be able to enforce it and a person injured by a fellow-criminal while they are jointly committing a serious crime may not be able to sue for damages for the injury.
An event or state of affairs known to have happened or existed. It may be distinguished from law (as in *trier of fact) or, in the law of evidence, from opinion (See opinion evidence). The facts in issue are the main facts that a party carrying the persuasive *burden of proof must establish in order to succeed; in a wider sense they may include subordinate or collateral facts, such as those affecting the *credit of a witness or the *admissibility of evidence.
See also factum.
An agent entrusted with the possession of goods (or documents of title representing goods) for the purposes of sale. A factor is likely to fall within the definition of a *mercantile agent in the Factors Act 1889 and to have the powers of a mercantile agent. A factor has a *lien over the goods entrusted to him that covers any claims against the principal arising out of the agency.
1. A *fact or statement of facts. For example, a factum probans (pl. facta probantia) is a fact offered in evidence as proof of another fact, and a factum probandum (pl. facta probanda) is a fact that needs to be proved.
2. An act or deed.
See also non est factum.
failure to maintain
The failure of either spouse to provide reasonable maintenance for the other or to make a proper contribution towards the maintenance of any children of the family during the subsistence of the marriage. Upon proof of such failure, magistrates' courts have jurisdiction to make orders for unsecured periodical payments and for lump-sum orders not exceeding £1000. The divorce county courts and High Court have power to make orders for periodical payment (which may also be secured by a charge on the property of the respondent spouse) and for lump-sum orders (of any sum). It is no longer necessary to prove wilful neglect to maintain (i.e. deliberate withholding of maintenance). Under the Child Support Act 1991, application for periodical payments for children can now usually be made directly to the Child Support Agency (See child support maintenance) rather than the court.
failure to make disclosure
Failure of a party to disclose documents as required by a disclosure direction (See disclosure and inspection of documents). This will lead to an application to the court for an order compelling disclosure. The court will most likely consider an *unless order with some sanction for noncompliance, e.g. dismissal of action, striking out of the defence.
fair comment
The defence to an action for *defamation that the statement made was fair comment on a matter of public interest. The facts on which the comment is based must be true and the comment must be fair. Any honest expression of opinion, however exaggerated, can be fair comment. but remarks inspired by personal spite and mere abuse are not. The judge decides whether or not the matter is one of public interest.
See also rolled-up plea.
fair dismissal
Dismissal (*dismissal) of an employee when a tribunal decides that an employer has acted reasonably in dismissing the employee and that the dismissal was for a lawful reason, i.e. on the grounds of the employee's capability, qualifications, or conduct; redundancy; the fact that it would be illegal to continue employing the employee: or some other sufficient and substantial reason.
Compare unfair dismissal.
fair rent
Rent fixed by a rent officer or rent assessment committee for the holder of a protected or statutory tenancy (*protected tenancy; *statutory tenancy). The rent is registered in relation to the property. When fixing the rent, no account is taken of the scarcity of rented property and therefore the rent is often lower than a market rent. The rent of assured tenancies (*assured tenancy) is fixed by agreement between the landlord and tenant. The tenant can apply to a *rent assessment committee to determine the rent if the landlord wishes to increase it. The committee must fix the rent at the amount the landlord could obtain on the open market. There is no registration of rent for assured tenancies, but the rents determined by rent assessment committees are recorded and this information is available to the public.
fair trading
See Director General of Fair Trading.
fair trial
A right set out in Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights and now part of UK law as a consequence of the *Human Rights Act 1998. The right to a fair trial applies in civil and criminal proceedings and includes the right to a public hearing (subject to some exceptions) by an independent and impartial tribunal established by law. In criminal cases there are the following specified rights: the *presumption of innocence; the right to be told the details of the case; to have time and facilities to prepare a defence and to instruct lawyers (with financial support where necessary); to call witnesses and examine the witnesses for the prosecution; and to have the free assistance of an interpreter.
See also equality of arms.
The mid-channel of a navigable river, extending as near to the shore as there is sufficient depth of water for ordinary navigation.
fair wear and tear
A phrase often found in repairing covenants in leases. When a tenant is not obliged to repair fair (reasonable) wear and tear occurring during his tenancy, he must nevertheless do any repairs to prevent consequential damage resulting from the original wear and tear. For example, if a slate blows off a roof the tenant is not liable to repair it, but he ought to prevent the rain entering through the hole and doing more damage.
false accounting
An offence, punishable by up to seven years' imprisonment, committed by someone who dishonestly falsifies, destroys, or hides any account or document used in accounting or who uses such a document knowing or suspecting it to be false or misleading. The offence must be committed for the purpose of gain or causing loss to another. There is also a special offence (also punishable by up to seven years' imprisonment) committed by a company director who publishes or allows to be published a written statement he knows or suspects is misleading or false in order to deceive members or creditors of the company.
See also forgery.
false imprisonment
Unlawful restriction of a person's freedom of movement, not necessarily in a prison. Any complete deprivation of freedom of movement is sufficient, so false imprisonment includes unlawful arrest and unlawfully preventing a person leaving a room or a shop. The restriction must be total: it is not imprisonment to prevent a person proceeding in one direction if he is free to leave in others. False imprisonment is a form of *trespass to the person, so it is not necessary to prove that it has caused actual damage. It is both a crime and a tort. Damages, which may be *aggravated or *exemplary, can be obtained in tort and the writ of *habeas corpus is available to restore the imprisoned person to liberty.
false plea
sham plea
(false plea, sham plea)
A statement of case that is obviously frivolous or absurd and is made only for the purpose of vexation or delay. A court may order a statement of case that would adversely affect the fair trial of a case to be struck out or amended.
false pretence
The act of misleading someone by a false representation, either by words or conduct. The former offence of obtaining property by false pretences is now known as obtaining property by *deception.
false statement
See perjury.
false trade description
A description of goods made in the course of a business that is false in respect of certain facts (See trade description). Under the Trade Descriptions Acts 1968 and 1972 it is an offence to apply a false trade description to goods either directly, by implication, or indirectly (e.g. by tampering with a car's mileometer or painting over rust on the bodywork). It is also an offence to supply or offer to supply goods to which a false trade description is attached. These offences are triable either summarily or on indictment (in which case they carry a maximum two years' prison sentence). They are offences of *strict liability, although certain specified defences are allowed (e.g. that the defendant relied on information supplied by someone else). The Acts are supplemented by the Fair Trading Act 1973.
falsification of accounts
See false accounting.
A group of people connected by a close relationship. For legal purposes a family is usually limited to relationships by blood, marriage, or adoption, although sometimes (e.g. for social security purposes) statute expressly includes other people, such as common-law wives (See common-law marriage). The courts have interpreted the word "family" to include unmarried couples living as husband and wife in permanent and stable relationships. In the past, gay couples have always been excluded from the definition. However, in a recent case the court interpreted the word "family" in the Rent Act 1977 to include the gay partner of a deceased tenant.
family assets
Property acquired by one or both parties to a marriage to be used for the benefit of the family as a whole. Typical examples are the *matrimonial home, furniture, and car. There is no special body of law dealing with family assets as such, but the courts have wide discretion to make orders in relation to such assets upon dissolution of the marriage and have developed flexible guidelines to apply in the case of family assets. Thus, one spouse will often acquire a share in the home owned by the other, by reason of his or her contributions to the welfare of the family and its finances.
family assistance order
A court order under the Children Act 1989 that a probation officer, or an officer of a local authority, should advise, assist, and befriend a particular child or a person closely connected with the child (such as a parent) in order to provide short-term support for the family. The order can only be made with the consent of the person it concerns (other than the child) and has effect for up to six months.
family credit
See working families tax credit.
Family Division
The division of the *High Court concerned with *family proceedings and noncontentious probate matters. Until 1971, it was known as the *Probate, Divorce and Admiralty Division. It may hear some appeals (See appellate jurisdiction). The chief judge of the Division is called the President.
Family Health Services Authority
See Health Authority; National Health Service.
family life
A right set out in Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights and now part of UK law as a consequence of the *Human Rights Act 1998. The right to family life extends beyond formal relationships and legitimate arrangements. This right is a *qualified right; as such, the public interest can be used to justify an interference with it providing that this is prescribed by law, designed for a legitimate purpose, and proportionate. Public authorities have a limited but positive duty to protect family life from interference by third parties. The right to found a family (the right to procreation) is contained in Article 12 of the Convention.

Stocks are at the threshold of a bull market, US Trust President Keith Banks said Monday.
"I do think volatility will continue," he added. "Unfortunately, what's driving it is partly the debate around the Fed. Will they, won't they, with respect to tapering? What a lot of people forget is that they do begin to taper, that's a good thing. It means the unemployment rate is going down. It means the economy is firming up. It means inflation looks healthier; it's not at a very low level."
On CNBC's "Fast Money," Banks said that he believed investors were reading too much into any piece of economic news.
"People are still hung up on the data point du jour," he said. "They're so desperately seeking a trend of some sort, be it good or bad, that every single data point that comes out, they latch on to."

We visited friends in Boulder, Co. over the Christmas holiday and had an opportunity to visit the Celestial Seasonings Tea Company that is headquartered there. Celestial Tea had humble beginnings with a group of "passionate young entrepreneurs" (i.e hippies in 1969) who began collecting herbs from the slopes of the Rocky Mountains and crafted their own herbal teas to sell to local health food stores. Today, Celestial Seasonings is one of the largest specialty tea companies in North America.

Williamstown Aquatic and Wellness Center-

Pseudo-Clementine Literature.: Chapter XXXII
Chapter XXXII.—Stubborn Facts.
"Now, old man, if you have any thing to say in answer to these things, say on." Then said the old man: 851 "You have most fully argued, my son; but I, as I said at first, am prevented by my own consciousness from according assent to all this incomparable statement of yours. For I know both my own Genesis and that of my wife, and I know that those things have happened which our Genesis prescribed to each of us; and I cannot now be withdrawn by words from those things which I have ascertained by facts and deeds. In short, since I perceive that you are excellently skilled in this sort of learning, hear the horoscope of my wife, and you shall find the configuration whose issue has occurred. For she had Mars with Venus above the centre, and the Moon setting in the houses of Mars and the confines of Saturn. Now this configuration leads women to be adulteresses, and to love their own slaves, and to end their days in foreign travel and in waters. And this has so come to pass. For she fell in love with her slave, and fearing at once danger and reproach, she fled with him, and going abroad, where she satisfied her love, she perished in the sea."
[To chaps. 32–37 a partial parallel is found in Homily XIV. 6–9. The arrangement is quite different, and the details vary.—R.]

Is that a photograph? Is it a painting? With photorealism, it is sometimes hard to tell. Originating on the back of the pop art movement of the sixties and seventies, photorealistic art is an attempt to replicate not the real world itself, but photographs of its wonders. By the latter decades of the twentieth century, photography had become established as an art form in its own right, presenting artists with a different way of viewing the world. Photography offered a more detailed, authentic perspective on life than painting ever had. Photorealists took these fresh ideas and re-applied them to more traditional media, thus completing the circle of inspiration.
Photorealism is defined by its astonishing attention to detail, yet unlike photography, it is constrained only by the limits of the artist's imagination. At Posterlounge, we have a huge range of both real-life and fantastical photorealistic images that can open up portals to other worlds right from the comfort of your home.
The incredible lighting and reflections in images such as The last full bottle and Flower will have all your guests second-guessing as their beautiful, life-like colours allow them to blend in perfectly in your lounge or dining room. Alternatively, apartments with more minimalist décor will be offset perfectly by the striking retro colouring of Monika Jüngling's Lady Elegance and Be quiet.
But when it's time for bed, there's no sedative more effective than simply letting your imagination run away with you. Allow yourself to be inspired by photorealism favourites like Night before Magic and Mermaid's Cave, or adorn your walls with Anna Dittman's ethereal, surreal portraits to help you drift off. Television fans are sure to be thrilled by the iconic beauty of Winter Somewhere, Brienne and Mother of Dragons.
The intense colours and pop-up style of many photorealistic prints make them perfect for displaying on aluminium Dibond backgrounds. Lightweight and rigid, this thin-profile material can be mounted anywhere, even outdoors. Or to bring out the depth in those detailed fantasy worlds, try our acrylic glass printing option. No frame is required for either of these high-quality formats.

Bedroom Tax protesters heckled against the hated policy outside the UK's most expensive property, reports the Sunday People.
Hundreds of people gathered at One Hyde Park in Central London where flats sell for up to £68million.
Many of the properties are owned by foreign investors and scandalously remain empty.
Campaigners wanted to highlight the hypocrisy of expensive properties standing empty while thousands of the poorest people are hit by the Tax.
Mike Knight, a tenant from East London, said: "We want to make sure we got our message across.
" This tax has been a disaster and the sooner it is scrapped the better."
The London protests were mirrored across Britain with thousands turning out in Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, Cardiff, Glasgow and other cities.
Tory Minister Ian Duncan Smith's cut in housing benefit for social tenants who have a spare bedroom has plunged families into rent arrears.
Some have been forced to move since it was introduced last April.
In Manchester, Maria Brabiner, 48, showed the crowd a bill demanding she pay the council £11.82 per week in "Bedroom Tax".
The former social services worker from Salford said: "I gave up my job to be a carer for my mum.
"I was living off my savings and then the Bedroom Tax came along. I lost a stone in weight. It's been incredibly stressful.
"It's a nasty piece of legislation that targets the vulnerable."
Mark Krantz, secretary of the Anti -Bedroom Tax Federation for Greater Manchester, told the protesters: "We have marched 10 times in this city as well as lobbying the courts.
"We will be protesting every week and every month until the Bedroom Tax is history."
In Leeds, Dan Brooks of the city's campaign group Hands Off Our Homes said: "We demand the council refuses to implement this policy that is causing stress, illness, poverty and hardship."
Chairman John Davies added: "We are calling on the council to announce a no-eviction policy and to stop issuing possession proceedings against those who cannot afford to pay."
Dozens of councils are running out of emergency money for Bedroom Tax victims, it emerged.
"They were given Government cash for a Discretionary Housing Payments fund to help people who were falling into difficulty through the Tax.
But one in five councils has rejected more than 40 per cent of applications and some up to 75 per cent in the past year, according to Freedom of Information replies to the False Economy campaign group.

Alma Chapter 15, verse 18
Now as I said, Alma having seen all these things, therefore he took Amulek and came over to the land of Zarahemla, and took him to his own house, and did administer unto him in his tribulations, and strengthened him in the Lord.
Back when Alma began his missionary work in Ammonihah, he was spit upon and cast out despite his most earnest attempts. But an angel told to go back and try again and Alma "speedily" did as he was told (I think I might have dragged my feet a bit...). Upon returning to Ammonihah, Alma was starving, having "fasted many days" and asked a man for some food. This man, Amulek, had been told by an angel that Alma would come and took him into his home where Alma was fed and where he "tarried many days," likely gearing up for his missionary work and discussing the gospel with Amulek as they prepared to teach people who'd been very unreceptive to Alma's prior attempts (Alma 8:19-27). I like to imagine the great friendship that grew between these two men as they prepared for and served this mission together. They experienced wonderful stuff together as they preached and performed miracles. They experienced prison walls falling down to set them free. They saw many people - even the wicked Zeezrom - accept the gospel and change their lives. They learned to submit their wills to that of the Lord and see the beautiful things that brings. They also went through really hard stuff together - huge heartaches when their message was rejected and when they saw some of their followers killed for their beliefs, frustration when Zeezrom tried to turn everyone against them, physical discomfort and pain and humiliation when they were imprisoned, whipped, stripped of their clothes, and spat upon.
On top of everything else he'd gone through with Alma, it turned out that Amulek had to give up all his riches and was rejected by his family (Alma 15:16). In verse 18 (above), it looks like Alma saw and understood how hard these sacrifices were for Amulek and now it was time for Alma to take Amulek into HIS home for a time and strengthen him.
For all of us, there are times when we need strengthening and other times when we need to strengthen others. Often it's the very people who've strengthened us that we'll need to strengthen at some point. No one can be strong all the time and always be the "strengthener." Even valiant wonderful people like Alma and Amulek need time to step back and be strengthened sometimes. Needing to be strengthened does not mean we're weak. It means we're strong - so strong that we've been trusted with big responsibilities and trials that will likely cause us to need to lean on the Lord and on others around us quite a bit - and that need to lean will help us be humble and will give others the chance to serve. Everyone needs to lean sometimes. Everyone needs to serve sometimes. That's how it's designed.
This week, as we prepare for Thanksgiving, I'm so grateful for the chances I've had in my life to serve others, to offer advice, to help people through hard times. And I'm so grateful for those who've been there for me when everything just feels so overwhelming and I've needed a listening ear, a helping hand, or an encouraging word.
*** And one last thing, I love love love this short article that posted on Power of Moms today. I so needed this reminder that while it always seems like there isn't enough time or money or bandwidth in my brain or heart to do all the things I yearn to do and feel called to do, there actually is enough. There is ALWAYS enough to do the things that are most needful when the Lord is involved.

I mean, there's plenty to say about this film (here's an actual review at Radiator Heaven), and it's probably one of Burton's better films since SLEEPY HOLLOW (and probably the most fun he's had in years, too), but lets get straight to the important matter at hand: GHOULIES II.
Yes, that masterpiece of GREMLINS-inspired terror includes a scene at a carnival whereupon a deserving villain meets his "end" atop a toilet at the hands of the Ghoulies. (That's sort of their trademark). Then, in FRANKENWEENIE, another deserving villain at a carnival (the mayor, voiced by Martin Short) has a run-in with some mutant, electrified Sea Monkeys who give him a similar shock. For comparison (the FRANKENWEENIE frames are in black and white):
This is a proud moment for me, and for GHOULIES II fans everywhere. Also, you should all see the original short film of FRANKENWEENIE '84 (included on recent DVD & Blu-ray releases of NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS and FRANKENWEENIE '12), which is a helluva lot of fun, and co-stars Shelley Duvall, Paul Bartel, Daniel Stern, and the kid is played by Barret "Daryl in D.A.R.Y.L. and Bastian in NEVERENDING STORY" Oliver.
It also occurs to me that there should be a horror omnibus flick about 1960s suburban mobs hunting down campy "monsters," and segments should be directed by Tim Burton, John Waters, and Joe Dante. Get on it, guys!

Irrespective whether the root cause of the distress is located in employment or at home, and concerning work colleagues, friends or family members, job, health or financial worries, the net result can lead to serious deterioration in a person's mental wellbeing and a significant drop in their performance.
Depression, anxiety, relationship problems, anger issues, phobias, OCD, PTSD and addictions to alcohol and drugs are a few of the emotional and behavioural outcomes that we have encountered in distressed staff. Regrettably there still exists a stigma and discrimination culture in some organisations relating to mental wellness and a reluctance by those affected to seek help.
Whilst Workplace Mental Wellbeing Training can help change attitudes in organisations we recognise that some distressed individuals will be "in denial" about needing such support. Our approach is sensitive to this issue – it's the outcome for the individual client we are interested in, not what one calls or labels the support put in place to help them recover.
Furthermore, using UKCP and BACP registered psychotherapeutic counsellors with an integrative approach in disciplines and methodology, we ensure that every individual referred to our confidential one-to-one sessions, has an experience tailored for their personal need and adapted to their preferential style.
At Koru, we believe that to achieve desired results for individuals experiencing mental distress or mental wellbeing issues, you need an empathetic, sensitive and diverse approach to the support offered because, simply put, "one size does not fit all."

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) Kevin Parks flashes a sly smile hoping it will answer the question.
The Virginia tailback and North Carolina native is going home with a bit of an attitude this weekend when the struggling Cavaliers face a surprising Duke team.
The 5-foot-8 Parks played high school ball less than two hours from the Research Triangle, and said coaches in his home state told him he was too small to play football at the major college level.
``I see Carolina games or N.C. State and I circle those games because there's a little more motivation on my back,'' the sophomore said this week. ``Everybody said I'm too small so, motivation.''
Parks leads the Cavaliers (2-3, 0-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) in rushing with 272 yards, including a 49-yard burst, and has scored two touchdowns, giving him 11 in 18 college games. He's also caught 12 passes for 95 yards.
The Cavaliers will take a boost anywhere they can get it. They have lost three straight and also are likely to make a change at quarterback with Alabama transfer Phillip Sims taking over as the starter.
Sims has thrown five touchdown passes without being intercepted playing behind Michael Rocco, and nearly led Virginia back from a 20-point deficit last weekend in a 44-38 loss to Louisiana Tech.
Virginia's chance at getting the ball back in the closing minutes was scuttled by a penalty that gave the Bulldogs a first down - the last of 16 penalties that led to 145 yards.
Parks was responsible for one of several personal foul calls, and was disappointed in himself.
``We just got to be a little bit more smarter about what we do. I hold myself accountable because I was one of those persons to get a flag late,'' he said. ``I just made a bonehead decision at that time because I was a little frustrated. We still got points out of it. It was three points, but maybe could have been a touchdown. It may have been the difference in the ballgame.''
The Cavaliers lost despite piling up 625 yards of offense, and showed signs of getting their running game untracked with 145 yards. Starter Perry Jones ran for 82, and Parks picked up another 60.
He'd like nothing better than to help the ground game take off this weekend.
``We still believe there's nothing wrong with our running game,'' he said. ``We've just got to be a little bit more decisive, make more great reads, make great blocks when we have to so the quarterback can throw, help out the blocking game, catch the ball when we need to and do all those little things right.''
Getting enough tickets for all the family and friends that will make the trip to Durham, N.C., ``can be a little bit stressful,'' Parks said, ``but I don't look at it like that. It's all fun for me.''
Teammate Adrian Gamble, who caught his first touchdown pass against the Bulldogs in the Sims-led rally, also is going home, and hopes the scoring grab was the start of an increased role in the offense.
The freshman from Charlotte is known for spectacular catches in practice, and wants to bring that to the games.
Duke (4-1, 1-0) has won three straight led by quarterback Sean Renfree, who is completing 72 percent of his passes with nine touchdowns. He's listed as questionable this week with a right elbow injury, so both teams may have new faces taking the opening snaps at quarterback. For Duke, that would be Anthony Boone, who finished the game last weekend.
No worries, coach David Cutcliffe said, comparing Boone's situation to what Sims faces.
``We have an offensive system. Anthony Boone has been taking the number two reps all fall camp, all during the season to this point,'' Cutcliffe said. ``We're running the same offense.''

Increases Resources for Career Counseling, and Innovative Grant Program
Reaffirming his commitment to overhauling the No Child Left Behind Act, U.S. Sen. Mark Begich today announced the introduction of two critical bills designed to improve educational resources across Alaska for the next generation of job seekers.
The first of Begich's bills, Counseling for Career Choice Act of 2013, would provide critical funding to allow school counselors to emphasize not just four-year college opportunities, but also target career prospects like apprenticeships, certificate programs, associate degrees and other vocational or degree programs.
"When it comes to education, Alaska has a unique set of needs – and they don't always match up with those in the Lower 48," Begich said. "This is a common-sense approach that gives our schools the resources they need to help guide Alaska's youth and improve their opportunities for success in a 21st century economy."
Begich will announce his legislation later today during a video teleconference with the Juneau Economic Development Council (JEDC). Organizations like the JEDC as well as other businesses and industries would benefit from Begich's approach of comprehensive career counseling and an emerging workforce that is prepared for the future.
Brian Holst, executive director of the JEDC, said: "It takes more than just a good foundation in the basics, including Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), to ensure that young people are prepared for the future. With the fast pace of innovation and change in the world, young people need more guidance than ever to connect their interests and skills with future work opportunities. More robust career counseling for middle and high school students will pay dividends for both the students and our economy."
The President of the National Education Association of Alaska, Ron Fuhrer, also weighed in on today's announcement, stating: "NEA-Alaska fully supports Sen. Begich's Counseling for Career Choice Act. We know that today, more than ever, school counselors play a significant role in the life of students. School counselors are especially helpful for those students whose parents have not previously attended post-secondary education. As our students face an ever-changing global economy, having both school counselors and the resources and materials to help students develop a career path after high school will be essential."
Begich's second bill, The Investing in Innovation for Education Act, is aimed at improving student achievement, graduation rates, and college enrollment by strengthening the already successful Investing in Innovation (i3) program by moving it into permanent law.
"We need practical yet innovative solutions to make sure there are skilled and competent workers in Alaska's workforce – and this bill does just that," Begich said. "We must place a premium on workable, local solutions to the challenges facing our educational system and help keep our economy moving forward by ensuring every student has the ability to succeed."
The bill also includes a 25 percent rural set-aside to help communities such as those in rural Alaska compete for funding so they can invest in ideas unique to rural states.
"NEA-Alaska thanks Senator Begich for his efforts on the Investing in Innovation (i3) fund. Our educators in rural Alaska are always working to develop innovative practices to improve student learning and high school graduation rates," Fuhrer said. "Moving the i3 program into permanent law allows educators to continue their efforts to bring a high standard of education to the remotest areas of Alaska. Senator Begich's efforts to ensure that all students in Alaska have an opportunity at an excellent public education is very much appreciated."
The i3 bill promotes flexibility and "out-of-the-box" ideas by prioritizing grant recipients who:
• Improve the teaching and learning of STEM subjects;
• Serve schools in rural communities;
• Improve early learning outcomes;
• Support college access and success;
• Support family and community engagement; and
• Address the unique learning needs of students with disabilities or English learners.
Through the i3 program, school districts, groups of schools, educational service agencies, and community organizations would compete for funds through the i3 program to assist them in these efforts. Applicants are required, unless they have a waiver, to secure a private or nonprofit match of 20 percent. Fact sheets on both bills are attached.

Years ago I introduced myself to the Final Fantasy series, it changed my life in a huge way and has fueled my inspiration to write stories and draw. Like The Legend of Zelda series it has brought a lot into my life as a gamer and forged itself into a staple must have in my collection of video games.
There was one thing though, it has never blown me away in the same way a Zelda game has. Why is this? I don't know really, the last really good Final Fantasy game I've played was Final Fantasy XII.
It was different and it spawned from one of my favorite Final Fantasy games in the series, Tactics. Final Fantasy VIII was also one of my favorites and it has the same effect that XII has on me. Although I've never been torn off my seat and thrown into a Final Fantasy game I have enjoyed them to the fullest, well some of them but you know. Each game has had a different burn on my skin but never have I been set on fire.
Square-Enix, which used to be Squaresoft (we all know this story) have changed over the years, their games used to have feature length quality and high grade battle systems, which they seemed to trade for better CGI sequences and better graphics.
Graphics for me are the tell-tale of a love hate relationship, sure the graphics in Final Fantasy XIII were astonishing, but they didn't save the game for me. Final Fantasy XIII felt more like a movie you could play along with, sure I enjoyed it and might have been the only one that enjoyed it, but it didn't blow me away.
I know with a lot of fans they have their favorite, Final Fantasy VII, along with their constant battle to get Square-Enix to remake this game, but why I ask, why this game? I've grown to love the game but not a love for another remake. How about Square-Enix makes a good Final Fantasy game instead of remaking THAT one. I don't know.
So I write this short love letter to Square-Enix, wondering where our amazing Final Fantasy game is. Final Fantasy Versus XIII seems to be the only one that has drawn some spectacular interest, but that game hasn't really, been released yet… As we lie in wait all I can hope is that Square-Enix releases a beautiful fully playable Final Fantasy game that more than lights a spark inside me.

Home » About Halong bayThe famous UNESCO Heritage site Ha Long Bay is known Worldwide for its infinite beauty, geology and history. Located in the North East of Vietnam in the Gulf of Tonkin, 165km east of Vietnams Capital City Hanoi, it boasts over 1900 small islets and in total the bay covers an area of around 1500km2.
These Limestone islands formed over millions of years, meaning the rise and fall of sea levels have created some fascinating features such as caves and grottoes. As many of the islets rise at such an incline they remain unaffected from human activity, therefore providing countless awe-inspiring views wherever you go in the bay.
Key Facts Featured in:
Over 1900 Islands UNESCO World Heritage List

Travel Unearthed MUST SEE
1500km2 New 7 Wonders of Nature
UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1994
This unique island formation is made from Limestone and Schist, eroded over millions of years
Ha Long Bay means 'Bay of the descending dragons' and local mythology states the islands were formed from Jewels dropped from the mouth of dragons sent to protect Vietnam
Less than half of the islands have been named, but most of the names are based on the islands shape – for example Voi Islet (Elephant) Ga Choi Islet (Fighting Cock) and Mai Nha islet (Roof)
Some islands have their own lakes, beaches, caves, grottoes or resorts, while many are uninhabitable due to the height and steep edges
The bay also contains offshore coral reefs, swamp and mangrove forests
Floating Villages are found throughout the bay, many of these live by relying on fishing for some of the 100 different species of fish found nearby, as well as squid, oysters, cuttlefish and octopi
Some of the island are home to wildlife including deer, monkeys, squirrels and mink

Gordon wins pole for his last Daytona 500
Daytona Beach, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - Jeff Gordon will start on the pole for his final Daytona 500 after winning Sunday's qualifying, which featured NASCAR's group qualifying format for the first time in the 57-year history of this prestigious race.
Gordon, who announced last month that 2015 will be his last season competing full-time in the Sprint Cup Series, turned a lap at 201.293 mph during the third and final round of qualifying to guarantee himself the top starting position for the Feb. 22 Daytona 500.
"Whew, that feels good. That's awesome," Gordon said. "This is one of the most gratifying poles here at Daytona that I have ever had. Not just because my final Daytona 500, but because you have to try to plan it out and you have to try to play that chess match and we played it really well."
Each of the three rounds in qualifying were five minutes in length. The 12 drivers competing in the final round did not get on this 2.5-mile track until 1 minute left, allowing them to make only a single qualifying lap.
It was the 78th career pole win for Gordon, including his second in the Daytona 500. Gordon is a four-time series champion and a three-time winner of the Daytona 500 (1997, '99 and 2005). His victory in the '99 season-opening race at Daytona International Speedway came from the pole.
Jimmie Johnson, the six-time series champion and two-time Daytona 500 winner (2006 and '13), will share the front row with Gordon, his Hendrick Motorsports teammate, after posting a lap at 201.135 mph. Gordon and Johnson are the only drivers who have their starting positions determined for this race. Positions 3-43 will be set in Thursday's Budweiser Duel twin-qualifying races at Daytona.
"To start next to (Gordon) in his final Daytona 500, it's really cool," Johnson said.
NASCAR's group qualifying format for the Daytona 500 was not exactly a hit with drivers and teams. Many drivers, including Clint Bowyer, criticized the format. Bowyer was one of five competitors involved in a crash that occurred in turn 1 with 1 minute, 22 seconds remaining in the first group of the opening round in qualifying. It was the only incident during the three-round session.
Bowyer was attempting to move around Reed Sorenson, but Sorenson tried to block him. Both drivers made contact and spun before hitting the wall. Denny Hamlin, Bobby Labonte and J.J. Yeley were also involved in the wreck.
After climbing out of his battered No. 15 Michael Waltrip Racing Toyota, Bowyer approached Sorenson, who was still in his car, and had words with him. Bowyer also wrecked in Saturday night's Sprint Unlimited preseason race at Daytona, which was won by Matt Kenseth.
"It's idiotic to be out here doing this anyway," Bowyer said in frustration after the incident. "There's no sense in being able to try to put on some cute show for whatever the hell this is. Then you've got a guy (Sorenson) out there in desperation, doing this crap like this. There's no reason to be out here. These guys have spent six months working on these cars, busting their (butts) on these cars, to go out there and have some guy out of desperation do that crap.
"But it ain't (Sorenson's) fault. It's not. It's NASCAR's fault for putting us out here in the middle of this crap for nothing. We used to come down here and worry about who was going to sit on the front row and the pole for the biggest race of the year. Now, all we do is come down here and worry about how a start-and-park like this out of desperation is going to knock us out of the Daytona 500. We've been in meetings for 45 minutes just to try and figure out what in the hell everyone is going to do, just so we can make the race. It's stupid. There's no sense in doing this."
Last week, Sorenson landed a ride with Team Xtreme Racing, driving the No. 44 Chevrolet, for Daytona only. The team currently does not have a backup car, so it's not known if he will compete in the twin qualifiers later this week. Sorenson did take the blame for the accident.
"I was just trying to block," he said. "I was doing everything I could to stay in front of Clint. I didn't mean to wreck anybody. Just a product of this qualifying. I didn't want it to end that way. I apologize to all the guys. We'll try to get a car here to race on Thursday."
Stewart-Haas Racing teammates Tony Stewart and Kevin Harvick, the reigning series champion, were among those drivers who complained about the new qualifying format for the Daytona 500, posting their comments on social media after the session had concluded.
"Today used to be about showcasing the hard work from the teams over the winter. Now it is a complete embarrassment for our series," Stewart wrote on his Twitter account.
"Sucks that 56 years of tradition at Daytona where fast cars ruled had ended.......," Harvick tweeted.
NASCAR plans to review its qualifying format for restrictor-plate races (Daytona and Talladega) and determine if any modifications need to be made in the future.
"We used (the qualifying format) last year in Daytona for the summer race, and we made some adjustments from there," NASCAR executive vice president and chief racing development officer Steve O'Donnell said during a post-qualifying press conference. "Going into Talladega (last October), obviously learned throughout that. Then came into Daytona with some minor adjustments for the Daytona 500, as well.
"So if you look at group qualifying as a whole, we felt it worked really well, but certainly there's some challenges on superspeedways...I believe we've got a really good track record of making adjustments where we need to, so we'll certainly evaluate what took place today, we'll continue to get feedback from the industry, from the drivers as we did to get to where we were today."

Unable to configure intel pro/100/ve ethernet card
I am new to Linux. I have installed a few days ago Mandrake 9.1 on my hp pavillion 750n.
Linux recognized the ethernet card ( intel pro 100/ve) and installed the driver, but I don't have connection.
I had the same problem on Windows, but fixed it changing the speed configuration of the card to 10Mbps.
I am unable to make those changes in Linux.
Somebody can help me?
Re: Unable to configure intel pro/100/ve ethernet card
What is the output of ifconfig (when run as root)? Do you have an ethx entry (eth0, eth1, whatever?)
If you have no ethx entry, try running netconf as root.
You don't mention your "connection" type. Is it a LAN connection, or perhaps a single-user maching running a cable modem or DSL connection? I have Time-Warner cable modem connection and telling netconf to DHCP my network information worked for me (I'm typing this on Slack-9, so I...er...Slack must have done something right).
Sorry if these are elementary questions/statements, but there wasn't so much information in your post for me to determine how much you know about your problem.
Additionally, even if I can't answer your question, perhaps having a reply entered on your topic will get you more detailed/knowledgeable responses from more qualified people than myself.
Regarding the missing informations:
We are in a lan conected to a dsl connection.
No proxy server, we directly connect to the gateway: 10.0.0.1
Nobody works with DHCP. We asssigned a permanent Ip address to every computer in the lan.
To answer your question, my knowledge of the problem is very poor. I have to acknowledge I am a bit lost. My native language is french, and what you tell me (ethx entry, eth0, netconf...) looks, for a newnewbie like me, like chinese . ;)
WHere do I run ifconfig? In a console?
What is a ethx entry? How can I know if I have one?
How do I run netconf? In a console?
What is Slack?...
Anyway, thanks for your concern.
Maybe someone have an idea of the solution...
HELP!! I am a :newbie: !!!
I have just ran ifconfig, and it shows the etho.
It looks like it works badly, as no packets come back.
It gave me:

The renters that lived in the house for 10 years before we bought it had a number of dogs. And these dogs had obviously peed in the basement many times. You can even see the stains in the carpet in the picture above. We thought maybe that when we ripped the carpet up (you can read more about that here), it would take care of the problem. Nope! Not one bit, actually. So all summer we have been avoiding the basement like the plague, but soon we will be moving in and we are going to need that space - for laundry and storage - and someday, for lounging.
So what did we do? Well, with the help of Steve, we developed a game plan.
Step 1: Grind the concrete floor to remove the rest of the carpet pad that was still glued to the floor.
So last weekend we invited our friend Cory over to help Michael grind the floors.
We rented the floor grinder from Four Star Rental - the same place we rented the ditch witch.
Then Michael swept the floor and even mopped it a little to ready the floor for the next step.
Step 2: Paint the floor with an odor-blocking sealer.
Now that a thin layer of the concrete floor was sanded off, along with the urine stained carpet pad that was still stuck to it, we were ready to paint it. We used Kilz Odorless Primer.We chose oil-based instead of latex because Michael had read online that the oil-based is better for sealing out moisture in addition to sealing out the smells.
The Verdict:It worked! So far, we have not been able to detect any of the old urine odors!!Woo hoo!
We are so so so encouraged! For about $200, we got this space back from the depths of smell hell.
Cost Breakdown:
4 Gallions of Kilz Primer: $80
Not having a basement that smells like urine: Priceless
Now we can build the walls for the laundry room and eventually frame out the rest of the basement to finish out the space. But that is down the road a bit.
This weekend will be a busy one for us - Sanding and priming the trim. Guys, there is seriously so much trim. So much. Who was it again that volunteered to paint their own trim? Oh yeah. That was me. Idiot. (Not really, I am fairly confident we are saving a ton of money. Possibly even a butt-ton.)
The siding guys just finished siding the house today, so look for a photo update from us in the coming days!
