3. Ordering from us
3.1. Product description
We use our reasonable endeavours to make sure that every product on Moonpig.com is shown accurately and that prices are correct. However, occasionally there may be small variations in colour, typefaces and layout. Moonpig disclaims all representations and warranties that the content or information on this Website is accurate, complete, up to date or does not infringe the rights of any third party.
3.2. Placing your order
When you place an order with us (by choosing an item and completing our online checkout process), we will send you an acknowledgement by email. This will detail the products you have ordered. Please note that your completion of the online checkout process does not constitute our acceptance of your order.
Our acceptance of your order only takes place when we despatch it. A 'purchase contract' between you and Moonpig.com is therefore made at the point of despatch, rather than at the point of payment. If you have cancelled your order, or if we notify you that we cannot accept your order, then no purchase contract will have been made.
From time to time, we may not be able to accept an order for the following reasons:
- If, unfortunately, we do not have your chosen goods in stock
- Where we cannot obtain authorisation for your payment
- If there has been a pricing or product description error
- If you do not meet any eligibility criteria set out in our terms and conditions
- If the order for personalised products contains reference to any copyrighted information where you have not obtained permission
- Due to the Licensing Act 2003, we cannot sell alcoholic products to anyone under 18. We may refuse an order or a delivery of alcoholic items at our discretion. By placing an order for alcohol, you confirm that both you and the person the order is sent to are aged 18 years or over.
- If your order for personalised products contains content which is threatening, defamatory, obscene, indecent, seditious, offensive, pornographic, abusive, liable to incite racial hatred, discriminatory, menacing, scandalous, inflammatory, blasphemous, in breach of confidence, in breach of privacy or which may cause annoyance or inconvenience
We reserve the right to cancel your order at any time and issue a full refund. This does not affect your statutory rights.
3.3. Personalising your cards and gifts
Moonpig.com aims to provide you with a fast, high-quality service, so any products you order are immediately sent for production. Please double-check your order on screen and your acknowledgement email carefully to check that all the details are correct. We cannot refund items where the personalisation has been mis-spelt due to an error made by you. You can only make changes to your order whilst its status on your 'Order History' (under the 'My Account' tab) shows as 'Order Received'.
If you are uploading a photo, images must be in JPEG format. Any other format such as Word documents and PDFs cannot be accepted. For best results, we advise that you make the image dimensions approximately 1,000 pixels for the smallest edge of your photos. We print images at 300DPI (Dots Per Inch), so if you are scanning the image we recommend you use this setting. If you try to upload a photo that has a lower resolution or image size, we will accept it. However, an on screen warning will appear to let you know that the image might not print very well.
3.4. Ordering multiple gift products and cards
- Multiple items can be ordered at the same time and will be despatched on the same day.
- All gifts, flowers or plants can be sent with standard (185mm x 132mm), large (290mm x 205mm) and square cards (150mm x 150mm).
3.5. Payment
At Moonpig.com, you can pay for your goods using a credit or debit card, Prepay and PayPal (app only orders)
In addition, cards, multipack cards, mugs, T-shirts, wall art and framed cards can be paid for using "Prepay" - a Moonpig.com account which gives you bonus credit. Please see section 10 for "Prepay" terms and conditions.

Where a card is ordered to be sent with any of the above gifts, we will make every effort to despatch it in the same package as your gift. However, on rare occasions due to technical constraints this may not always be possible. In such cases your card will be despatched separately from the card-only locations outlined above.
In the rare event that a gift substitution is necessary through supply difficulties (or similar), we may substitute your item with a product of equal or greater value in a similar or superior style, quality and value.
4.2. Transfer of Title
Goods despatched from Guernsey
Goods despatched from Guernsey are shipped under the Import VAT Accounting Scheme, operated by Guernsey Post and the Guernsey Border Agency on behalf of the HMRC. By placing your order with us you are agreeing to take title to your goods at the point of despatch from our Guernsey production facilities and we will post your goods in Guernsey on your behalf.
4.3. Prices and sales tax
All prices shown on the website include sales tax at the prevailing rate if applicable. Specific details regarding sales tax are outlined below:
Goods shipped from Guernsey
The price of goods shipped from Guernsey include import VAT at 20%
Goods shipped from the UK
The prices of goods shipped from the UK include VAT at the prevailing rate (Currently the standard rate is 20%).
4.4. Postage and packaging charges
For most items, prices are shown exclusive of postage and packaging charges; these will be shown separately at the checkout stage. In some cases, prices shown may include postage and packaging. If this is the case this will be clearly stated.
4.5. VAT Receipts
In most cases your order confirmation contains all the necessary information to constitute a simplified VAT receipt in line with the HMRC guidelines. However, should you require a Full VAT invoice, these are available upon request firstname.lastname@example.com ; please allow up to 10 working days for these to be sent.
5. Delivery
We know just how important it is that your cards or gifts arrive on time for that special occasion. During the order process, Moonpig.com will notify you of the despatch dates available and the expected timeframe for receiving your order. We will also make you aware of any delivery charges prior to the acceptance of your order.
Delivery times and charges will differ depending on which products you order. More details are set out below.
5.1. General despatch information
- The despatch date is the day we SEND the item you have ordered, NOT the day it will be delivered.
- Your order is likely to arrive much faster if you use a postcode. It sounds simple, but many people forget to add it!
- You can check that you have the correct postcode by using the Royal Mail's handy postcode finder www.royalmail.com
- If any of the details you have given us in your delivery address are incorrect, we are not liable for any items which are not received.
5.2. Delivery and postage of cards, mugs, T-shirts, soft toys and framed cards
Most orders from the UK will be printed and despatched from our production facility in Guernsey. However we do have an Australian and a US production facility, so if you're sending your card to a far-flung destination, it may be printed and posted from Melbourne or New Jersey to arrive even faster.
If you want to check the postage and packaging cost of your order, simply place the items in the online shopping basket with the correct size, quantity and address. We will then calculate the charge for you.
All cards are posted by First Class or airmail unless the special delivery option is selected at extra cost.
All our mugs, T-shirts, soft toys and framed cards are posted by First Class unless the special delivery option is selected at extra cost.
Postage charges are calculated based on item weight, so the cost will increase on heavier orders. The postage cost is inclusive of the stamp, envelope(s) and packaging.
- If you request that your order is sent to you so that you can forward it on to someone else, any cards will be despatched in an outer envelope with a blank cream envelope inside(Please be advised, the outer envelope will have the return Moonpig address printed on it. If you order a large card to be sent back to you, the postage will cost more than sending it straight to the recipient. This is because the weight of the protective outer envelope adds to the postal cost.
- Mugs, T-shirts, Soft Toys, Postal Flowers and Wines and Spirits can only be sent to addresses in the UK.
- Most of the packaging for mugs and T-shirts will not fit through a standard letter-box, so the recipient will need to be at the address to receive the order. If no one is in, the item will be returned to the nearest Royal Mail depot. A note will be left requesting its collection.

*The Royal Mail advise that 90% of first class post in the UK will arrive the following day. Unfortunately, the other 10% can take up to 3 days. If possible, we recommend you allow 3 working days for delivery from the 'Sent by us' date.
If possible, please allow three working days from despatch for cards to arrive. After all, it is better for a card to arrive two days early than one day late! Remember, you can also put a note on the envelope to tell the recipient not to open it until a certain date. Large cards are hand processed by Royal Mail's sorting system, so we recommend an extra day for delivery.
If your order hasn't arrived after three days, PLEASE call us. We would rather send a replacement card than leave you disappointed.

All destinations outside Europe
Allow 7 working days
Special Delivery Timings
If you're sending your order to a UK address, and you have the complete postcode, you can also choose Royal Mail Special Delivery. This service comes at an increased cost (as detailed by Royal Mail).
A special delivery ordered before 2pm and despatched Monday - Friday is guaranteed for delivery before 2pm the following day. Royal Mail do not guarantee special deliveries to arrive on a Saturday (although we find that items sent to residential addresses where their local post office work a half day on Saturdays, generally do tend to arrive on a Saturday)
If you would like a guarantee for arrival on a Saturday, by selecting Friday despatch you can select 'Saturday Special Delivery' for an additional fee for any UK address.
If a Special Delivery item cannot be signed for, it is returned to the depot and can either be collected in person from the local Post Office, or redelivered at a later date. This is subject to Royal Mail's terms and conditions for Special Delivery.
5.4. Delivery of courier flowers
Courier flowers are hand-tied bouquets, delivered by a driver. We use courier partners HDN, UK Mail or DPD, who deliver between 8am and 9pm.
Delivery instructions for courier flowers
When you place your order, you can give instructions for the driver, advising what to do if no one is in when they attempt delivery.
We always do our best to follow your instructions. However, a driver may decide not to leave the flowers in a specified place if, for example, they believe there is a risk of theft. If we do follow your delivery instructions and the flowers are subsequently stolen, Moonpig.com will not be liable for this loss.
If you include a phone number in the delivery instructions, we cannot guarantee to call the number whether yourself or the recipient to agree a delivery time. In particular, if the flowers are delivered by HDNL, they do not offer this service.
Failure to deliver courier flowers
If we are unable to deliver your order because no one is in, the driver will try to follow your delivery instructions or leave them in a secure place on the property. Where this is not possible, we will attempt to leave the flowers with a neighbour. If you would prefer us not to do any of these, please let us know when you place your order. Where possible our courier partners will leave a card notifying the recipient an order tried to be delivered but no one was in.
Should we be unable to deliver the order, we may try again that same day, or if not, the following day. We will attempt to contact you via email as soon as we know of the failed delivery, so it is important that you provide up to date contact information. Our Customer Service Team will do their best to ensure that the flowers get to their recipient, but we do ask for your patience as it is not possible to contact drivers until they have finished all their deliveries for the day.
5.5. Delivery of wines and spirits
All deliveries for Wine and Spirits will be made by Royal Mail Tracked which aims to deliver in 2 days from Monday to Saturday between 9am – 5pm. Currently we do not offer a timed delivery service or Sunday delivery and all Wines and Spirits can only be delivered to addresses in mainland UK. Please allow 3-4 working days for deliveries to Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands and areas of Scotland. We are not able to deliver on Bank Holidays and Christmas Day.
Failure to deliver wines and spirits
On your order if you include details of a safe place, this will only be used if the parcel cannot fit through a letterbox or if there is no one at home. The Royal Mail will complete an easy to understand "Sorry You Were Out" card, detailing where the goods have been left after the attempted delivery. The recipient then has the option to call or go online to arrange a redelivery on a specified day of their choice, or to collect the item themselves. Please note that Wines & Spirits can only be delivered to offices where it can be signed for.
5.6. Delivery of Canvas and Acrylics
All deliveries for Canvas and Acrylic orders will be made by our courier partner Yodel/HDN or DPD. Deliveries are made between Monday to Friday, 8am – 9pm, there is no Saturday or Sunday delivery available and currently we don't offer a timed delivery service. Canvas and Acrylic orders can only be delivered to addresses in the mainland UK and a signature is required for all deliveries. We are not able to deliver on Bank Holidays or Christmas Day.
Failure to deliver Canvas and Acrylics
If the recipient is not at home, Yodel/HDNL will complete an easy to understand "Sorry You Were Out" card, which is posted through the letter box, to notify the recipient of an attempted delivery. The courier may attempt redelivery later in the day but do not guarantee this will happen. If re-delivery is not attempted on the same day they will try again the next working day (i.e. Monday, if Friday is the delivery date). The recipient also has the option to call or go online to arrange a redelivery on a specified day of their choice. Please note that Canvas and Acrylic orders can only be delivered to offices where it can be signed for.
5.7. Circumstances Beyond Our Control
Neither we, nor any courier or carrier service that we use shall be liable for any failure to perform, where such failure or delay results from any cirmcumstances outside our reasonable control; these circumstances to include but not be limited to any adverse weather conditions - such as snow, flood, extreme winds, fire, explosion, accident, traffic congestion, obstruction of any private or public highway, riot, terrorism, act of God, or from any industrial dispute or strike.
6. Changing or cancelling an order
Before you request a change or cancellation, it is best to check the status of your order by going to 'Order History', which can be found under the 'My Account' tab. Orders can only be changed or cancelled if the status is on 'Order Received'. If the status displays 'Order Printing' or 'Order Sent' then it has already been printed or despatched and, unfortunately, cannot be amended or cancelled.
It is best to call us if you need to cancel or change your order - dial 0345 4500 100 or +44 20 7803 0390 if outside the UK. Please have your order number or the email address you registered with us available so we can answer your query as quickly as possible.
Emails are answered during business hours (8.30am - 9.00pm) in the order they are received. It is therefore possible that your order could begin production before your email is processed and we will be unable to make any changes.
If you wish to change the despatch date for an order of flowers with a personalised card, we may have to cancel the original order and place a new one. This is to ensure that the personalised card will be sent together with the flowers.
7. Returns and refunds
At Moonpig.com, we always try to send your products in perfect condition. However, occasionally, a problem can arise. In the unlikely event that a product is faulty, or it is damaged in delivery or is the wrong item, we ask you to contact us to let us know of the problem as soon as possible. We will then advise you on whether you are eligible for a refund or replacement.
7.1. Reporting a problem
If for any reason you are not happy with your Moonpig order, please contact our Customer Service Team. Call 0345 4500 100 (or +44 20 7803 0390 if outside the UK), or use our Contact Form. You will need to quote your order number, the email address you have registered and the details of the problem with the order.
We aim to acknowledge any complaint within 14 working days, (usually it takes 1-2 days) and will do our best to resolve it within 28 days. We may ask you to take a photograph of the product to help us communicate with our suppliers and correct any future problems. Should it be necessary, we will then advise you how to return your item.
7.2. Returning products and issuing refunds
Cards, Mugs, Soft Toys, Framed Cards T-shirts, Wines & Spirits and Canvas & Acrylics
Where an item is faulty, we will ask you to return it to us within three days of receipt. You can contact our Customer Service Team for a Freepost returns address. Your right to return items to us in accordance with these terms and conditions is in addition to any other statutory rights you may have.
If you are eligible for a refund, we will reimburse the price you have paid for the product(s) onto the credit or debit card that you paid with. Alternatively, we may offer to reprint (if applicable) and resend the item free of charge. Please note it is not our policy to offer both a refund and a resend.
Refunds cannot be given if the fault is a result of your own actions such as product misuse or if personalisation is mis-spelt or if you have uploaded an image of a low resolution or size. Please see section 3.3, 'Personalising products', for more information.
If the recipient receives damaged flowers or they fail to arrive, please contact us immediately so that we can arrange to re-send on the next available delivery date or a full or partial refund. The amount of partial refund will depend on the specific circumstances surrounding the flowers.
As is the case with other gifts, it is not our policy to offer both a refund and a resend. Where flowers have been damaged we will normally ask for photographs clearly showing the problem so we can use them to determine what is going wrong with our system or our couriers. Refunds cannot be given for flowers that have died quickly, unless we believe there to be a genuine problem. It is important that flowers are cared for correctly. Putting them by heat sources or draughts, or failing to change the water will damage them. We include instructions and flower-food with all our arrangements. All flowers should normally last five days or longer, although this varies by variety. In some circumstances, flowers are sent in bud will not be fully open when they arrive. However, they should open once they have settled at room temperature.
It is important that we are contacted as soon as possible regarding issues with your order or the product(s) you have ordered. We need to be informed of any issues within three days of the delivery to give us the best chance of successfully resolving the issue.
Multiple refund requests
If there are persistent claims for refunds from the same individual or group of individuals, we reserve the right not to issue a refund or replace an order. We may refuse to take any future orders from any such customers and will inform them of our decision in writing, via email or over the telephone.

From the bedazzling harmonies of the Beach Boys to the ska-tinged froth of No Doubt, California pop has always been a balm for hammock swingers everywhere, the EZ-does-it antidote to rock's black-and-blue world.
Despite a name that conjures mud-splattered gladiators, Smash Mouth are inheritors of that laid-back Cali tradition, purveyors of endless-summer trifles such as ''All Star'' and ''Can't Get Enough of You Baby'' that suggest this quartet knows how to waste away a Venice Beach afternoon with the best of them. They're a reliable singles band and a godsend for surf-obsesssed mixtape specialists. But their allure can't quite sustain an entire CD, and Get the Picture? won't alter that perception. Smash Mouth are on cruise control for most of their fourth album, which barely breaks a sweat over 37 minutes of breezy melodies, throwaway lyrics, and solo-free arrangements.
Smash Mouth are best when they're at a Jamaican-vacation simmer (''You Are My Number One,'' with guest toasting by ex-English Beat vocalist Ranking Roger) or when they indulge their fetish for vintage instrumental sounds and vocal flourishes: rinky-dink organ straight out of ''96 Tears'' (''New Planet''), terse Zombies-like guitar riffs (the ''Tell Her No'' voicings of ''Space Man''), and wordless harmonies that suggest Jan and Dean by way of honorary Californians the B-52's (''105''). Sometimes they simply resort to copying themselves, retooling the ''Walkin' on the Sun'' groove that worked so well in 1997 (''Hot''). Smash Mouth's no-sweat approach means they prefer to stroll rather than stomp. The singsongy melodies slide past agreeably, as if the whole point is to keep the bumps -- and the surprises -- to a minimum.
Singer Steve Harwell is well-suited for his job as the gruff yet affable party host. He looks like the guy who tunes up transmissions at the service station, and he sings like a blue-collar beachcomber. He drops a few names (Letterman, ''Sopranos'') and spouts clichés by the fistful (he both advocates catching a tiger by its tail and throwing in the towel on ''Hang On''). Even his road rage on ''105'' sounds positively mellow, and he develops the mildest case of teen angst since Danny and the Juniors went to the hop in ''Seventh Grade Dance.'' The word fun doesn't show up in every song, but it could. With Harwell and company leading the way, even behind the darkest clouds, there's always another mimosa waiting.

Program Description
The Children's Centers provide a safe, secure and happy place for children and their families. The curriculum is designed by teams of professional teachers, emphasizing a play-based philosophy that is developmentally appropriate. Attention is given to social, cognitive and physical development. Children enjoy large and small group activities including music, art, cooking, science projects and many enriching field trips.
In all classes the curriculum is designed to nurture social behavior and enhance the child's self-concept.
For the toddlers, the focus is on the transition from home to school with particular attention given to issues related to separation. With the three-year olds, the focus continues to be the transition between home and school, as well as the addition of a rich variety of social, physical and cognitive experiences. Four year olds begin working within a more structured environment, adding complexity to pre-reading, pre-math, science and language development. The kindergarten program is designed to enhance curiosity, problem-solving and creative thinking including a variety of weekly math, reading and writing projects, as well as small and large group times.
Using the observational facilities, parents are encouraged to observe their children as frequently as they wish. In addition to informal observations, there are Parent-Teacher Conferences each year. Parent-Teacher communication, both spontaneous and planned, is recognized as being essential for the overall success of both programs.

BARNESVILLE, Minn. (WCCO) – A Minnesota teenager's family says he wasn't allowed to be confirmed at his church because of a Facebook posting.
The posting was a picture of the 17-year-old with a political sign opposing the Minnesota marriage amendment.
The reverend at Assumption Church in Barnesville, Minn., says Lennon Cihak was not denied confirmation, but declined to explain.
The family says they do not plan to return to the church.

"No! I won't put my shoes on," Nathan yelled.
Penny sighed. "Nathan," she said, "we talked about this before. You are five years old and you need to put your shoes on yourself." She could tell this tantrum was going to be a long one.
"I can't," Nathan whined. "I don't remember how."
Penny knew this wasn't true. But today, for some reason, her son didn't want to cooperate.
"If you don't know how to put your shoes on, then we can't to go to your friend's party."
"Yes, I can. My teacher said Native Americans didn't wear shoes and walked outside."
With that, the full tantrum began. Nathan rolled around and banged his hands on the table. He yelled, "Mommy, I can't put my shoes on," and continued screaming.
Penny knew this wasn't going to end soon, so she waited until Nathan tired himself out.
Every child, regardless of age or disposition, has an occasional tantrum, or "meltdown." While their roots might differ, these fits often affect the whole family. But the way you respond can influence their recurrence and lasting effects. Before we discuss positive responses to meltdowns, let us first outline several types of outbursts that children might experience.
Homework Horrors
School aged children will occasionally feel overwhelmed and exhausted by their homework. They might throw their bags or rip pages of their notebooks. Alternatively, they might cry about how they cannot do their assignment. If these meltdowns occur every so often, this is normal and a symptom of our pressurized school systems. If these meltdowns happen consistently, then there is likely something larger at play.
What You Can Do:
Maintain a regular routine. If your child does homework at the same time and same place every day, he will be more likely to feel in control.
Make sure your child get his sleep. Children who don't get enough sleep are less able to concentrate and thus more prone to being overwhelmed.
Get your child tested. If your child is struggling with work on his grade level, consider having him evaluated. He might be having meltdowns because of a learning disability.
Sensory Strife
Children with sensory processing disorder (SPD) can be easily over-stimulated. When they feel overwhelmed, their senses can go into overdrive, and they will respond by attacking what they feel is attacking them. This can mean they will scream or hit to make the sensory bombardment stop.
What You Can Do:
Remove offending stimuli. Pay attention to what triggers over-stimulation in your child and make an attempt to eliminate or reduce those stimuli.
Add positive stimuli. There are bound to be sensory experiences that your child appreciates and enjoys.
Remove guilt and shame. After a meltdown, your child will often feel guilty for having behaved that way. Be sure to remove accusations from your tone and conversation. Unlike children without SPD, a child with SPD cannot completely control his reactions.

Extra Big Dicks – Eddie Kordova and Ken Tanner
I stumbled upon this scene of Eddie and Ken the other while I was doing my routine jerk off session (*'-') and I found quite interesting to say the least. I love big cock, everyone knows that but sometimes porn sites forget that the guys needs to be good looking as well not just have a huge cock and Extra Big Dicks understands that.
They have been around for a long time now and they keep adding new videos and photos on a regular basis which is good. A lot of sites will not do that. Anyways, enjoy the pictures!

Question by Kyle Needles: How do insulin spikes (caused by a high sugar diet) cause heart disease?
I know it isn't saturated fat, can someone please explain the affects of sugar/insulin spikes on the heart.
Best answer:
Answer by Cindy in Texas
Let me start off by saying that there is NO scientific proof of exactly how the body works & too many hypotheses based on epidemological studies (observational correlations which can only ask questions, not answer them)
I suggest you read Gary Taubes book, "Good Calories, Bad Calories" for an accurate thorough explanation.
I doubt there is a direct link to blame insulin but insulin puts the body into "storage mode" which overrides "normal mode" & keeps the body in a state of inflammation (which stresses the cardiovascular system). Insulin doesn't allow several other hormones to function properly when it dominates the bloodstream. With the current high carb Standard American Diet, blood sugar & insulin levels remain high & damage insulin receptors on cells – creating even higher blood sugar & insulin levels.
There never was one iota of scientific proof to condemn saturated fats as a cause of heart disease. Dietary fat, whether saturated or not, is not a cause of obesity, heart disease, or any other chronic disease of civilization. Through their direct effects on insulin & blood sugar, refined carbohydrates, starches and sugars are the dietary cause of coronary heart disease & diabetes.
Plaque build up in the arteries are more attributable to carb consumption than dietary fats, which seems to be the conclusion of the following study. Carb consumption raises triglycerides & VLDL (bad cholesterol). Fats raise the HDL (good cholesterol). High triglyceride levels & low HDL levels are an indicator of plaque, glycation – the precursors to a heart attack and heart disease.
study from the Oxford group examining the postprandial (after-eating) effects of a low-fat vs. low-carbohydrate diet. (Roberts R et al, 2008)
Postprandial lipoproteins, you'd think, would be plentiful after ingesting a large quantity of fat, since fat must be absorbed via chylomicrons into the bloodstream. But it's carbohydrates that figure most prominently in determining the pattern and magnitude of postprandial triglycerides and lipoproteins. Much of this effect develops by way of de novo lipogenesis, the generation of new lipoproteins like VLDL after carbohydrate ingestion.
Carbohydrates greater than 9grams per hour trigger insulin. Insulin is considered the "bully" hormone – when it dominates the bloodstream, it does not allow other hormones to fully function
Blood sugar levels of >120mg/dl cripple the body's immune system. A "phagocytic index" tells how rapidly a particular macrophage or lymphocyte can gobble up a virus, bacteria, or cancer cell. A blood sugar value of 120mg/dl reduces the phagocytic index by 75%.
There is a linear increase in cardiovascular disease in men as average blood glucose rises above 86mg/dL. Average blood glucose levels above 95mg/dl had more than 3x the risk of developing future diabetes. Health risks are correlated to the number of hours a day our blood sugar spends elevated over 140 mg/dl (7.7 mmol/L).
The link between saturated fats and heart health was based on faulty science but very few are willing to contradict the long standing myth. Both cholesterol and saturated fat are essential for growth in babies and children, especially the development of the brain. Still, the American Heart Association recommends a low-cholesterol, lowfat diet for children & adults.
FINALLY they admit – no difference in the risk of heart disease even with highest intake of saturated fat & eggs are a superfood & have no effect on cholesterol

APH/Evans offers 7 Taps: A belgian ale, which was served in the proper glass; a mildly hoppy "Pump Station Pale Ale," boasting three varieties of hops; a porter ("State Street"), with an abv of 5.5; and, on a similar note, a malty brown ale at 5.6. (By the way, Tom (see previous entry), it is called "Kick-Ass" Brown.) Decent place worth stopping by when in the Albany area - or on the way to Vermont.
Tim was behind the bar after a day off and the phone kept him very busy. All that said his service was only down to great from the usual awesome.
Their Hefe {my favorite] was unavailable so i had a sampler and got a pleasant suprise. 6 beers in the sampler Scottish Light true to their description and much better than I expected as i prefer spicy sweet beers or Dark Beers. Quakenbush Blond was good but not my style. Next was very pleasant surprise indeed, Belgian Pale. I drink a lot of craft beers and this one is a delight, a Hefe style spiciness and a pleasant balance of hops at the end that i usually dont prefer but wow. After that Rowlands Porter, Pumping Station Pale, and finally Kick Ass Brown, all good as usual. Before I move on to the food I would like to say their conistent beer quality amazes me.
The Veggie Burger. Beans, corn, bun, LTO, guacamole, chipotle mayo and smoked mozz. Great, we opted for the sweet potato fies and they were also great. Thanx Mr. Evans for keeping a fine establishment up to par all the time even down to clean bathrooms.
I'm the Brewmaster at the Pump Station. I'm responding to Robin Inman's recent review describing poor service at our eastablishment. Since this site allows reviews with no way to contact the writer, I am forced to take up space here.
There is no excuse for the rude behavior you received, and for that I apologize. I do wish you had spoken to a manager or at least e-mailed us before writing a negative review on the internet, where it will likely persist long after the offending server has left our restaurant. We work hard to make every customer's experience a good one. If something is not to one's liking we will do our best to make it better, but we need to be told about the problem to act on it.
I hope that you give us another chance. If you would like to contact me directly, please visit www.EvansAle.com for contact information.
We had the small nacho platter. It's more than enough for two!!!
As the Head Brewer at the C.H. Evans Brewing Company I feel it necessary to correct a popular misconception, last stated in the review prior to this one. Neither Scottish Light nor Quackenbush Blonde are our best selling beers. Kick-Ass Brown, which fits into the style of an American Brown ale, is number one, with Pump Station Pale being a close second. The Blonde is third. The light beer is usually number 5 or 6 out of 7.
The beer drinkers here really appreciate full-flavored brews, and the hoppier, the better. I am quite pleased to brew for customers with such adventurous taste!
This is a world class establishment with excellent staff and a great owner.
The presentation of the building is simply amazing - a great floorplan with brewing gear displayed as main attractions.
The beer is stylistically correct and the brewer is a seasoned professional.
Be sure to check out their great looking growlers and the intimate area back by the fireplace...
This is a must stop if you are anywhere near Albany, New York.
We have always sold beer in 16 ounce pint glasses. If you were served beer in an Imperial pint in the past, you were at a different place.
We almost always have pale ale, along with at least 7 other distinct beers, on tap. The pale ale does tend to sell faster than we can produce it, so it is occassionally unavailable for one or two days. The very hoppy brown ale is usually considered a fine substitute.
Anybody is free to not like the taste of our beer, but it is quite rude to post inaccurate information. Pubcrawler reviews without e-mail addresses are as good as anonymous, and should probably be regarded with suspicion. I wonder why they are even allowed.
Before I forget, food and service are also top notch.

Greece '12 GDP Seen Down 4.7%
ATHENS -- Greece's economy remains mired in a deep recession with no signs of an upturn in sight, the European Commission said Friday, as waves of austerity measures and collapsing consumer and business confidence weigh on output.
According to the spring forecasts from the Commission, gross domestic product will shrink by 4.7% this year and will be flat in 2013, it said, reaffirming the most recent outlook from Greece's troika of international lenders--which includes the Commission, along with the International Monetary Fund and the European Central Bank.
"In 2012 a further contraction is expected, resulting from both a significant fall in internal demand and less dynamism in exports than expected. Households' disposable income being hit by rising unemployment, cuts in private sector wages and the fiscal measures will keep domestic demand contracting," the Commission report said.
"Also, unfavourable business and consumer sentiment and difficulties in access to credit for firms and households will contribute to their postponing spending decisions," it added. "The recovery, which was previously expected for this year, will be further delayed with, at best, an insignificant improvement in activity in 2013."
The report says that Greece's ongoing reform efforts, which include steep cuts in wages and liberalizing the labor and services markets, will help the economy regain the competitiveness it had lost after a decade of booming, debt-fueled domestic demand.
However, unemployment is also expected to rise further to an average 19.7% rate this year--versus 17.7% in 2011--before easing slightly to 19.6% in 2013. Inflation, which has remained stubbornly high despite the contracting economy, is seen nose diving this year with consumer prices expected to fall 0.5% after rising an average of 3.1% in 2011.
"Inflation inertia remains high for an economy that is entering its fifth year of recession," the report says. "However, the low level of economic activity in 2012 and the reduction in private sector wages is expected to moderate prices, with slightly negative inflation rates expected in 2012 and 2013."
The report also reaffirms Greece's projected budget targets--agreed with the troika--that foresee a 7.3% deficit-to-GDP ratio this year.
Under the terms of the country's latest EUR130 billion bailout, Greece must detail some EUR11.5 billion worth of spending cuts to close that gap in 2013 and 2014. In the absence of any new cutbacks, the Commission predicts that Greece's budget deficit will rise back to 8.4% next year.

First of all, yes, it's been ages again. What happened? Well, after I got stuck in Dublin airport, I went to Germany for the day on the ICE (lovely), London for 14 hours on the Eurostar (swishy, especially as I jammily got to go in First) and Luxembourg. Luxembourg's going to get a whole post of its own due it being a Ruritanian mountain fiefdom with hedge fund managers instead of peasants, but I'm not in enough of a coffee-fuelled rage to begin to pen that yet, so let's wait and see.
Also I've just been busy. There's been cooking – I learnt to roast a leg of lamb – fine wine and dining galore and also lots of trips to the cinema. These have included excellent South Korean horror movie (but really clever metaphor for US involvement in the Far East) The Host and the cheese extravaganza that was Spiderman 3: The emo musical.
Also I have been reading. I haven't done a book thing on here for ages but I'm definitely planning one on on Nicolas Freeling – I've been re-reading his books, especially the early Van der Valk novels, and thoroughly enjoying them. Also I purchased Neil McKenna's 'The Secret Life of Oscar Wilde' when I was in Dublin, which is revealing that not only does my idol have feet of clay, he was also a total and utter cad. However the book is annoying me deeply with its conflation of certain events: Wilde 'probably' did x with y, he 'almost inevitably' must have met such-and-such in New York and 'in all likelihood' he did blah as well. Now look, I know we're dealing with events happening last century and you can't exactly pick up the phone and check BUT there's only so much idle speculation I can handle in a work of biography.
Because I can't just leave you with selection of post-lunch thoughts here's a review I wrote a while ago of an extremely fun up-and-coming band called 'The Aim' playing live at an absolutely brilliant club called 'White Trash' in Prenzlauer Berg in Berlin.
Berlin. It's a city with one hell of a reputation, a glittering cabaret act of decadent debauchery – a lot for a group to live up to. But when Iturn up at a kitsch-filled proto-goth bar in a former Chinese restaurant in East Berlin, the vibes are good. And when The Aim come onstage, they're excellent.
All four of the band look androgynously alluring in identical poker straight black trousers, dress shirts and flowing black cravats. Eyeliner is de rigeur for both the boys and the girl and the fact that the tiny stage is covered with their black-and-white target logos show The Aim are a group who understand that a sharp, sexy image matters just as much as killer riffs.
The audience is full of Berlin scenesters modelling a variety of looks from lost new romantic to trilby-wearing mod but everyone starts to move when The Aim launch into their edgy, angular brand of rock. Catchy hooks which recall mod, new wave and krautrock influences are brought to life by a stage presence which can only be described as pure energy.
The band's myspace proudly refers to their 'kick-ass live performance' and the move form their native Copenhagen to the German capital has only revved their motors further. Songs follow each other at breakneck pace and frontwoman Veronica D'Souza is a sexy, sassy, hair-tossing frontwoman who could even teach Justine Frischmann circa 1995 a thing or two about how to move onstage.
The energy just builds and builds and by the last couple of songs, Veronica and bassist Greg are playing back-to-back with a frenetic enthusiasm which has even the most tryhard emo kids grinning with joy. Even though the ceiling's barely high enough for us to stand, D'Souza launches into the crowd, whilst guitarist Adam and drummer R.R. – a man too damn cool to have a first name – keep the infectious riffs coming.
As the band leave the stage to wild screams I get the feeling I'm not the only person in the room who's convinced Berlin's a city where the spirit of edgy, sexy rock is as potent as ever – and that the The Aim are right on target to rock.

Bustopher Jones
|Okay... You know those people who are always the best dressed (and commonly overdressed) for every occasion? Well, that's Bustopher Jones, T.S. Eliot's Cat About Town. A large, rather round, middle-aged feline, Bustopher spares no expense when it comes to dressing (or eating, for that matter). He no commonplace mouser - he's got well-cut trousers, a coat of fastidious black, and he always wears his trademark white spats. If fact, he's known to the Jellicles as "The Brummel of Cats" (which, but the way, is a literary allusion on the part of T.S. Eliot, referring to Beau Brummel, a fictional character of Eliot's time who was a notoriously fancy dresser). Bustopher Jones spends much of his time in clubs and other areas of fine dining - there is little he seems to love more than food (I have suspicions that my brother may be Bustopher reincarnated :) In any case, the fact remains that Bustopher Jones simply loves to eat.
|Bustopher is well liked and respected by all the Jellicles, but especially by Mistoffelees (Quaxo), who appears to be awed and captivated by him. It is rumored that perhaps Bustopher is Mistoffelees' uncle; mostly I think, because of their similar coloring. But whatever Bustopher's relation to Misto (if any) it's quite obvious that the Brummel of Cats has won the affections of the amorous Jennyanydots. She swoons at the end of Bustopher's song when he hands her the rose for his lapel, and she actually sings most of his song herself.
|Despite his popularity among the other Jellicles, the fact remains that the part of Bustopher Jones is, in reality, rather small. Actually, Bustopher's only time on stage is during his song. Because the stage time required to play Bustopher Jones so minimal, some companies have the actor play more than one part. The original Broadway cast actually had actor Stephan Hanan play the parts of both Bustopher Jones and Gus/Growltiger. Yet, no matter how little Bustopher is on stage, he is still well known - and well loved - as the one and only, "St. James' Street Cat."
In the above pictures Bustopher Jones is portrayed by James Barron.

Photos: So a Cubs fan goes to SoxFest ...
By Jack Silverstein, for RedEye
I have a tangled history with Chicago baseball. I was raised a Cubs fan, but my family did not love the Cubs as much as we loved the Bears, and through the influence of one of my closest friends and a pennant race, I changed allegiances from Cubs to Sox in 1993. Then, at a Cubs-Sox game at Wrigley in 1998, I flip-flopped back to the Cubs and remained there until just after Alfonso Soriano struck out to end the Dodgers playoff series in 2008.
So it was with that baseball fan background that I attended my first SoxFest, a week after attending my first Cubs Convention. I talked to a lot of fans and a few players, and spent Saturday and Sunday taking pictures. Here's what happened. (All photos by the author.)
